That Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face sounds amazing, but last time I tried to use it, a small fire erupted near the pickups forcing me to drop to my knees and entrance it like a snake charmer trying to control a serpent. That being said, the small fire gave my tone a nice mid-hump and let me cut through the band mix. Next time I will use “wet-dry” rig in case I need to extinguish the flames.

I remember years ago, hearing a psychiatrist state that 50% of people will suffer some form of mental health issue in their lifetime. From what I've seen and experienced, I'm sure they were right. I also remember how stigmatised it used to be. Thankfully, it is becoming less so. It's good that you feel comfortable enough to talk about your own experience of it, and it definitely helps others to do the same, especially older people like myself, who were brought up in a culture that told us that men should suppress their feelings and emotions. I wish you good health.

As creatives are a bit over represented in the area of mental health, what you are doing is enormously helpful to those who believe they suffer alone. Thank you for speaking up. Years ago I began a process similar to yours. The difference is, though imperfect, rather stark. And that's the one thing I've come to understand ... nothing will be perfect all the time. Learning to take the downs with the ups is how I've seen improvement. A quote has stuck with me (can't remember who said it) ... "Nothing very, very good or very, very bad lasts very, very long."

I love you guys buddy. I've been winding strat pickups for 20 years. I only do it for myself and maybe I'll send you a set for fun. I don't care to make money off it. I had to sell a 1964 strat to survive in 2003 that sounded like god and 3 years late when Ihad the money to replace it they had gone up to 25,000 and I would never own another one and I had to accept that. So I built my first pickup winder and set about winding my own pickups to find that tone. Also I have suffered crippling depression and anxiety for the most of 25 years. It's not something you can explain to others so you suffer alone. You are an amazing player and person. I appreciate you and the show very much brings a much needed smile to my face frequently.

I may have mentioned this before, but I like to take hi-resolution manufacturer photos of pedals, drop out the backgrounds and size them to life-size with Adobe Photoshop, then create accurate to the millimetre pedalboard layouts with Microsoft Visio, which also allows me to easily draw in signal and power routing. That way, I always know if and where and how a pedal is going to fit on my pedalboard before I buy it or build it. It only take s a few moments per pedal to fix the pix, then I have them in a library for future use.

The build continues, but I’m afraid it’s going to take a bit too find all the best pedals and what works well together.

I also really love that you openly talk about how good Dan's GigRig gear is, as I'm a very happy G2 owner, and wholeheartedly agree about the quality of his power units. I understand (as Dan recently said) that pushing GigRig stuff is obviously not the point of the show at all, but man I wish you two would do a modern day episode on switchers and comparisons (?). Anyway, I think the G2 is a spectacular tool, and I wish more people knew about them, as well as all of the specialized adapters and outstanding power supplies. I use my G2 as sort of a normalled patch bay for my home recording setup, using my pedals as outboard gear as I record (everything, not just guitar/bass). Keep up the great work on all fronts, cheers from the States!

Could you and Dan consider a show on in/out phase? If so please include the effects (if any or significant) of acoustic coupling (guitar/amp)?

Not sure if it’s related, but thought I’d throw that out there. Thanks again for your entertaining yet educational show!

I've been using a triangle buff(mooer triangle muff copy in a smaller foot print)on my board for fuzz and I like it cause I have about 13 pedals if you count all the ones up front and in the loop and that's not including the power supply a loop box, buffer etc. So the snall footprint of the triangle buff helps. It's an absolutly excellent triangle muff sound but I really want a good fuzz that will react well to my guitar volume and tone an clean up. I'll probably build one myself. I've built 5 pedals on my board so far and modded most of the others for additional versatility. So if I build my own fuzz it will probably be a fuzz face Vero build with some extra options. In fact I'm gonna go find a Vero layout and circuit I like now.

I saw Aynsley Lister about 15 years ago as a teenager at the Brook in Southampton, it was brilliant it made me want to learn to play (which I did) and he gave me his pick after the gig, my brother asked him about 20 times, I think he gave it to me out of sheer annoyance.

Oh boy how I love new board builds. And somehow you guys always manage to swap half the pedals despite keeping all the classics and favourites so it's interesting. And some of those have to be good for you to replace your usual suspects. The diagrams are top notch in this one, good looking and they make hell of a lot of sense. Turns out your board was quite unlucky with everything requiring another gigrig piece. Interesting short episode would be making all the pieces you had throughout this build work and showing what you needed to do to fix the problems. I'm myself getting my hands to gigrig power any day now (unfortunately not from gigrig but second hand, fortunately for my wallet though and now I can update the system for reasonable cost directly from gigrig anyway) and I'm super excited to finally see and hear what others have had the pleasure to enjoy! Since mental health is mentioned, personal isn't going too shabby, but TPS always manages to cheer up. The honest enthusiasm towards the shared interest. And hearing sweet sounds and great playing.

That board sounded epic when you finished it up and your playing was amazing in the TPS studio when you were testing it, you could tell you was totally digging the sounds and tones !!. Kudos on the mental health shout out as this is such an important subject nowadays and people are now talking which is vital in fighting the problem, great vlog :D

Look forward to hopefully a follow up vlog which tells us what changes (if any) you make for Andy Timmons, July and onwards. Keep on keeping on, Mick :)

@justingarcia77224 жыл бұрын
This video gave me the idea that perhaps you guys should do a video on using high headroom pedals into smaller amps and possible alternatives in cases they don't work. For example I find the frequencies of a univibe and fuzz face to require high headroom, into a smaller amp things start to flatline. I suppose the answer is "more is more" but it'd be interesting to explore ways to make those sounds work or approximate them in a 15/20 watt combo setting. Cheers, great tones Mick

Having been watching your vids for 3 years and purchased (and sold) many pedals because of this show, one thing I would like for you guys to cover is Loop Switchers. Let’s face it, it’s a main staple for any board. I understand you’ll always side with GigRig but there’s so many others out there and I for one needed guidance when purchasing one many years ago. Keep up the good work.

Here's a great tip : our guitarist has bought an old accodeon case online for a few bucks. It looks exactly like the Schmidt Array . All you have to do is build in a wooden board to create 2 levels for the pedals and maybe cut 2 holes in the case's side for plugs . Works great looks awesome costs a tenth of a SchmidtArray

Living or working ALL days with the same people, sometimes brings little issues but most of the times these problems are volatile! I mean, I think it’s natural. Sorry I’ve lost the vlog where you talk about your problems but, in my opinion, they might be only for the livings and chances to reveal’em should be taken all the times! Love to ya and the Now-short-bearded Dan! P.S.: me I love to play Purple Rain in A...it’s a great shortcut! 😉

I really enjoyed this one, Mick! I’ve often though about running two mini boards with an A/B loop box so one board can be removed from the signal chain at times. You could put your fuzz, wah and vibe on one for instance. Just a thought. My mini board is cramped and there’s always a pedal or two I wish I could have squeezed onto it, depending on my mood. Great vlog!
