David Rainger Blows Our Tiny Minds [Guitar FX Pedals For The Truly Adventurous!]

[@ChrisJones-ht9zn]

This might just have been the catalyst for pulling me out of a major depression. It’s just what my soul needed. Humanity at its absolute best. Thank you

[@ckturvey]

You need to get David Rainger, Graham Coxon, and Ed O'Brian on the show together. I think it would be the best 15 hours of guitar craziness ever!

[@christurner2398]

Now that's some logistics to organise

[@zackstearns178]

Sweet Mercy. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the house.

[@MouldyGuitars]

and Greg Koch

[@Superdelphinus]

Make it happen!

[@heymrguitarman7637]

Not sure you've had a cooler dude on the show ever. What an absolute legend of a man. Genius

[@littleninpo]

💯

[@allidoisplay]

Frost Blue Metallic S2 Studio ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

[@hybridnoisebloom]

David is thinking totally off the page, and we need more of his genius in music. Some of us have been guilty of thinking the pedal industry is saturated, nothing new is happening, it's all been done before, etc. David Rainger is proof positive that a truly creative mind can inspire us and move us forward. Wow. Mind completely blown.

[@testinguk_Admin]

The world needs more of everything this episode is about. Fantastic.

[@PintoArthur]

This is INSANE! As a chemist I really love the idea of the minibar and I'm really thinking about buying one to even use it to teach chemistry at school! Btw: Salt increases the electrical conductivity of the liquid because it has free Ions, which increases the electrical conductivity. Sugar, as it's a molecular substance in general, doesn't contain free ions and don't ionize the liquid, so it conducts less electricity and thus has more gain. You can think about the liquids as a "gain drain", so, the better electrical conductor, the cleaner the signal because it's conducting the gain out of the pedal in a way.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Love this, thank you!

[@LykanVarion]

So, what you're saying is, you could write a song for a 40% saline solution, a 45%, etc. :P

[@__dormant__]

When I was a little kid this is exactly what I wanted pedals to be. This is still what I want pedals to be. I'm genuinely blown away.

[@hukl3945]

It was so great to see Dan's and Mick's minds genuinely been blown ... to another dimension.

[@shanef517]

One of the most interesting conversations on here. Great job all around.

[@13thdukeofwybourne]

Wow. There’s more creativity and uniqueness in just these 6 pedals from David than in the 1000s of pedals made by all the big name pedal companies for 30 years. So many shake your head and smile moments in this. What a star. Great stuff David.

[@HAIRYBIKER777]

What a lovely bloke, and what a mind. Funny too - you could drop him straight into Spinal Tap or Wayne's World. He's like Sean Lock's happier brother.

[@ttop23]

Had the pleasure of meeting David when I worked on Denmark St a few years ago. Lovely guy and undoubtedly a genius!

[@chrisdrake447]

Gawd bless and sustain the great British eccentric - what a joy to have this man and his pedals in the world.

[@henrymathews2556]

Loved the way Dan was completely silent at 42:10 then abruptly said "okay, sorry". I could tell he just had to experience the Drone Rainger because it was something completely new to him and he was internally going bonkers. What a pedal, but what a guy Dan is.

[@phaedrus1117]

I loved that moment where they were both holding their heads, speechless and David goes: "Is everyone ok?"

[@rprieto1971]

Some F’d up great creations. Protect him at all costs

[@TheOdditee]

Dan nailed it, “It’s thinking about sound in a different way.” Absolutely! Really cool.

[@LysanderLH]

I hope his sales go through the roof for this. Truly innovative and original. I’d mount them on a board and let members of the audience have goes on them while I played.

[@Subropontes]

Absolutely nothing in the world would make me happier than watching David Rainger sitting in a studio with Graham Coxon just having coffee, talking and playing with gear.

[@spharr]

The idea that you could actually hear the tone of blood sweat and tears with the mini bar is crazy

[@markv1006]

I think the comment on why they're laughing is perfect. The entire episode I was giddy, but not because I was excited, it was because I could feel my flow state being inspired by the sheer creativity in these pedals. I want weirder pedals not because I want to be weird, but because it's what the future of music is

[@andresgaron]

I click the like button just after Micks comment about having a Rhythm pedal on the board. Fun Fun Fun. Love TPS got weird with Rainger Fx.

[@macsarcule]

David Rainger is the sort of human we should all aspire to. What an awesome person!!!

[@mob0274]

Every other guitar gear channel - 'ToneX vs Kemper' That Pedal Show - 'Hold my beer. Here's something different.'

[@Angus.Maclean]

Pedals that sound great yet different at whatever settings is much more inspirational than set-and-forget single good sound setting pedals.

[@admarhermans1]

That ‘drone/delay’ is so beautiful, so therapeutic in a way. I want that. All for myself. Make my own little album and be calm and happy and mindfull. 😉

[@freitopolis]

His enthusiasm is infectious. A brilliant mad genius.

[@freitopolis]

@BUNFIGHT SPECIALIST 👃 👃 I smell frustrated troll

[@Flyingcybersec]

This is the most fun I’ve had watching this show in a LONG time. I laughed and wished I was talented enough to make this work.

[@paulburton5150]

David is such a creative guy. A true mad scientist. A Carackticus Potts of the guitar world. His feet on the ground and his head in the clouds. A sound guy in every sense

[@andreweasombentley4703]

David reminds me of one of the pioneering lab-coated early producer / engineers of the mid 60’s who came up with all the classic effects we all know BUT at exactly the same time it’s like he’s from the future. What an inspiring dude

[@johncard2564]

The flanger x on the rocket setting is one of those subtle “always on pedals” in my opinion

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hahahahha!

[@docnu5757]

What an absolute breath of fresh air. Thank you, David.

[@JimmyGallowayGuitar]

This guy is a legend. I don't own any of his yet, but I'm super fascinated with his entire ethos

[@elliotthall5543]

Top Five episode. Going to watch it a second time. Awesome!

[@thomascooke7640]

1:02:58. That look says it all. Rarely are both of you totally silent. One of the best episodes yet. Keep up the great stuff D&M!

[@ronlight7013]

David Rainger’s the shot in the arm this show’s been needing! I wrote about the FREAKENSTEIN pedal as exhibited in Pedal Culture.

[@1967clem]

When the 'mad professor' makes pedals and you get joyous results....!

[@adamscottv]

Video needs a Love button. Like isn't quite enough.

[@dustinthiessen]

holy crap! I think I need this whole rainge of pedals

[@ThatPedalShow]

See what you did there!

[@leftchicago]

This was great. I can't even conceive of an imagination anywhere near to David's.

[@dustingmyguitars]

This is 100 percent my favorite episode of tps

[@wildbill7]

Highlight of my weekend RIGHT HERE!!!! So, soooo good.

[@MrMystery666]

Please please find all the cool uk pedal builders and bring them in and do this (I know you’ve done thorpy and one or two other). This type of show is absolutely phenomenal and we need more.

[@andsoistopped]

It’s not another tubescreamer. Thank goodness for that! Oh how the world is improved by the likes of Mr Grainger.

[@JimmyWatfordGuitar]

Freshest intro ever. Sound of Applause. Applause. Applause

[@ScottfromBaltimore]

Utterly bonkers ideas that actually work. I'm amazed.

[@karllongbottomguitars9192]

David Rainger is, without doubt, a genius . One of the most interesting/inspirational episodes , bravo 👏

[@sampitomusic]

Mick discretely tasting the whisky @ 31:54 was hilarious

[@austinbridge]

Daivd Rainger is a genius. Much needed diversity in a world of digital reverb and delay units. In a market full of OD and Distortion. Almost all copies of copies of copied circuits. Rainger pedals are so incredibly unique and creative. They make you reframe your perspective on music and sound.

[@TheAmazingSnarf]

i'm in full agreement with you. I've lived with the Drone Rainger on my desk for a couple of years now, and i can tell you, with complete honesty, that having something like this tech at my fingertips has absolutely changed the way that i approach both sound design exploration and recording. having the ability to send an instant, pitched analog oscillation through whatever effect that i'm actively working on learning is ...well, orders of magnitude above whatever i was doing previously. Today's Drone Rainger signal chain: DR > MXR 10 > Tera Echo > SL2 > RT20. whoa

[@dwaynejessome1728]

"there's a donut shop there" absolutely incredible LOL

[@aorsoul...7532]

I have never smiled so much in my life. Wonderful show! Thank you!

[@rabkennedy5312]

In tonights show, Mick has a whisky and coke, Dan becomes a DJ, And a mad man brings in some pedals!

[@robhead22]

Omg!!! My desires suddenly far exceed my budget!! What a glorious range of ideas in action!! Thank you! Fabulous!

[@PG-ex3kl]

What a cool dude! Thinking inside and outside of the rhomboid shaped box!

[@Frettedchaos]

David has a beautiful mind. What an original and innovative builder. Taking pedals in a new direction where the pedals themselves are unique instruments to be explored. Just wow. ❤

[@SeanJWestcott]

Saw the episode, bought the pedal (MiniBar) and it is just awesomely bonkers … single malt is my favourite so far … big smile and laughing my head off as I try everything in the fridge … but it makes so much sense … playing blues … add whisky … pub rock … add beer … jazz … red wine ? Thanks you David, a creative legend

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ha! Awesome, nice one Sean! We reckon access to that different headspace is truly priceless!

[@geoffknot]

whoa! thank you! DRainger and crew are amazing!

[@johnsenior2566]

Thanks guys, brilliant. I love David's thought process. He made me think of what Doctor Who would be like as a rock star!

[@robtoc]

This content was so much fun! Well done gentlemen!!

[@danialollis9200]

Nice work lads, labelling the 11min time snap in tribute to the mighty Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Those who know, know that "The blues is number 1"

[@ThatPedalShow]

Take a whiff of my pant leg baby!

[@garyrose5211]

Truly "Way out and toilets" moments. Fantastic creative sounds. Great inspirational show. Far out.

[@taylormoon3561]

I’ve never seen Dan this giddy, and I’m right there with him.

[@jonathananderson3897]

This is the best thing on the Internet ever. I can totally see radiohead making great use of all these things. Just wow, kudos to dave, you just wiped the floor with several multimillion dollar empires in terms of creativity. This is innovation at its finest

[@robertomelendez2368]

Favorite guest ever his creativity is incredible

[@alexfilacchione3032]

“The bass drum is always on the one, as Bootsy commanded”

[@andsoistopped]

He is a genius. Without a doubt.

[@WharfRat4]

They say that genius and madness are separated by a hair's width. I'm not quite sure what side of that line David's on, but I love his creativity. I can see myslf at my next open mike night "A pint of lager for myself and a port and brandy for the pedal please?"

[@oliverhutton3199]

Inspiring. 1:06:10 'can you turn the jet plane off?' I love how effortlessly David invites us into his mindset :) This is frontier tone building, a-la early 60s, meted with 21st Century (TPS) pragmatism. Keep up your stella work gents.

[@b0000kify]

we're lucky to have Rainger out there doing Rainger things

[@simonsmith9942]

That’s the best Flanger I’ve ever heard. Buying one. What a great episode!!!!

[@burresseffects]

Been waiting years for this episode.

[@johnschoppmusic]

And then….with all on a song was born! ~cheers

[@TheMerc1950]

Mick looking around before taking a sample of the whiskey.... 😂

[@ThatPedalShow]

Argh! I thought nobody saw. Hahahaah!

[@phaedrus1117]

What a completely delightful person. Also the entire concept of "I'm interested in this, so I'm going to read books and just try until I know how to do the thing I want to do." is just brilliant. "Often, the way forward is to do the wrong thing." - Yeah, that's going into my journal. Great episode.

[@Martinroque77]

What the hell did I just watch? I'm speechless. This was amazing.

[@littleninpo]

What an absolute pleasure that was to watch. For me this has been the best pedal vid I’ve ever seen. Made want to get my credit card out. Incomparable to anything I’ve seen. The gentrification of the circuit board left me speechless. 😂😂😂What an artist David is. Incredible.

[@johnny.musician]

At the risk of repeating other’s’ comments, mind blown. Wonderful tones and flexibility!

[@donaldryder5534]

the world needs more David Raingers!

[@Yupppi]

This man is just crazy. In the best kind of way. He never got the note "you can't do that" so he just did it. Even if you don't have a need for any of his pedals, you can't go "that's stupid, it doesn't have any value". It makes you imagine all the possibilities just by seeing and hearing it. Those old oil can tremolos worked with the liquid floating from side to side and either blocking or unblocking the sensor.

[@bryanh3057]

Honestly, we have officially met the Eddie Van Halen and Les Paul of effects pedals. He’s totally chasing those sounds he’s hearing in his head and making them happen in much the same way. Love it! 🤘

[@PedalExperiments]

Watching this felt like making my dad sit down and watch one of my favourite movies for the first time, and just watching his reactions at all the good bits. 😜 What an amazing man, and what a wonderfully bizarre brain he has!

[@soulassasin10]

Holy hell lads that was an epic show 😳😱🤯 David is a freaking genius 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🎛️

[@DanForrestal]

This is the most glorious madness.

[@roughmix60]

Genius in audible form. Just wonderfully ace.

[@mickylicky5265]

OMG!....flabbergasted....and to see Dan & Mick so incredulous is really going some....this was just so much fun!....unbelievably creative....

[@tomcaley8799]

Absolutely amazing. I need the Drone Rainger in my life. I can’t help feel though that David is what you would get if Steven Wilson and Sean Lock had a baby

[@ThatPedalShow]

That is truly profound!

[@stevereid5944]

What an amazing dude , so creative , eloquent and mad but educated and self taught . Great Britain needs more of this . A very 1960s attitude . Love the pedals 🙌

[@kasakka]

This might be one of the best TPS videos in a while! Also kudos to Rainger for making all these wild pedals. Even if I find it a bit tough to find a use for this stuff, I still hope others do and use them in musical ways because it's innovation like this that we need more in the pedal world.

[@michaelb.42112]

I love my Rainger FX pedals if anything because they look badass. Who else has so much fun making pedals !

[@tullycottage367]

Clearly mad. And a genius and a lovey, eccentric and interesting guy. Loved it. Thanks

[@joeblack7841]

This was the most fun I have ever had watching a pedal review in my whole life. What a blast. Thanks you guys!

[@smiley4288]

Just wow I could listen to him talk all day!! I love David’s thinking… what a total genius I want them all then lock myself away with everything on 10 🤘😎🤘

[@ChanceCooper125]

These pedals are incredible. Love the designs too. They look like what guitar pedals would look like in the Borderlands video games

[@kwyatt261]

You're so right

[@AndyDemos]

Haha!! That’s Blues Explosion moment was just too good! 👊😎

[@michaela9817]

Love to have my boundaries expanded by the creative genius of people like David!

[@ian1630]

“Is everyone alright?”, plus props to Mick not wasting any fluids! 🤣😎🤘

[@robb4340]

Creativity On The Highest Level. Stunning FX.

[@rjroth4869]

For me, as a child of the 60's, Mick's "What a trip!" comment was perfect for this episode.

[@DeathMayBeYourSantaClausz]

man's a genius. an artist

[@petergoddard1960]

The world is a better place for having David Rainger in it. If your creativity wants to go all cosmik, or destructiv or just somewhere no one has been, here is how you do it. Invent a journey and fuck with the soundtrack. Never forget to press record.
