“Never knowingly first” and “Endearing shambles” - sounds like the first two singles by the TPS band, as well as the merch. Lovely show as ever. Glad you’re feeling better.

[@THEJADAN200]

I feel the “red light syndrome”. What I’ve found that helps me is understanding that what you record isn’t permanent. You are in control of everything. If you need 3 takes or 33 takes they do it till you are satisfied with it. And if you aren’t satisfied with it the next day? Do it again! It’s completely okay to take as much time as you need on your art.

[@hotblackdesiato3451]

Hi TPS - when Mr. PRS comes on the show I'd be grateful if you could let him know that even after 35yrs, my early '88 Classic Electric is still one of the best guitars I've ever played. Many other guitars have come and gone over the years but that one's a keeper.

[@hitnorcal]

TPS with dogs is always better. I watch with 3 of my best canine friends Rocky, Dolly, and Frank.

[@raytorvalds3699]

Frank. Now THAT is a cool name for a dog lol.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

33:48 What happened to the 📯 horn😭, y'all?!

[@PedalPawn]

Glad you guys are on the mend! Awesome show as always 🤗🎸

[@Isaac-Draper]

On the lack of inspiration topic: I always find live music helps. After that, new gear and getting your butt kicked at a jam session.

[@frankphvrvon3153]

100%

[@bradguitarmanintx157]

Get a Super Vee Mag-Lok trem stabilizer to prevent the detuning issue with floating bridge. I put them on 4 strat trem and 2 floyd rose systems and they work great.

[@astewart9410]

My new Bros. Landreth album Come Morning arrived today wahoo! I also got the Boss Katana MkII 100w head and 212 cab. A serious piece of gear that is constantly thrilling me. I also love that the head has a 5” reference speaker in it for quiet practice too. I know it’s not tubes/valves but I’m loving it!!

[@frankphvrvon3153]

I always set my overdrive volume a bit louder/beefier than my clean sound and I don’t have bass loss issue 😊

[@stanislavmigra]

On the Theme, what people can and cant hear, Im very cautious to say "you cant hear that" or "you must hear that". We hear and percieve sound very differently and very different parts of sound/tone are important to us. Important thing, are you happy with how your rig is responding to you. I have a good friend, who is playing strats longer then I live and has some national no.1 radio hits under his belt. He found in last 5 years, that what irked him about sound on his strat was anything other then positions 1 and 5. So now he is back 3 way switch, where he only use 2 positions and has only tummy coil instead of middle pickup.

[@christiandiegoalcocer]

It's great to see you're getting better. Love you, guys!

[@raedellwood6911]

I just recovered from Covid, I am early 60's and Asthmatic so it was awful, still feel completely wrung out but really feeling the need to play guitar as much as possible, maybe a good walk next to the tall guy with the black robes and the sickle gives one some motivation that was missing before. Anyway, seems my ears are a bit wacked out , nothing in my rig sounds correct now, not a volume thing but actual tones are very different, anyone else having changes to hearing after Covid?

[@raytorvalds3699]

Yes, I did experience that too. Everything sounded a bit muffled. It has gone back to normal for me. I hope yours will go back to normal asap too!

[@stefanbo3620]

To the fuzz face and tone bender in one question... If you have some money you can spend, buy a Benson germanium FF and the germanium boost

[@pcanarsky]

So glad to see you both well and happy!!!!

[@zootallures1]

Rosie is an absolutely stunning, gorgeous animal! So much so that even my wife, who usually rolls her eyes when she sees me sitting in front of “those guitar guys from England”, commented on her beauty and behavior…. Regarding what to do when uninspired to play, I attempt to solve this by watching about 45 minutes of Tom Bukovac’s “Home Skoolin’” videos. I almost always want to pick up my guitar and play after that…..🎸 YMMV.

[@Peter-ff1tp]

Do you guys have access to Amplified Nation products? I’d really love to hear that Dirty Wonderland amp A/B’d with Mick’s Two Rock.

[@dankozak4889]

Re: Fuzz Face/Tonebender circuits, someone in the chat mentioned the Crazy Tube Circuits Constellation as having FF and several TB modes...it also has a Rangemaster and the "Rangemaster into Fuzz Face" mode that Mick theorized might be interesting. It is! IIRC, it was Pete Thorn's favorite mode in his demo of it, which inspired me to pick one up--and I'm very happy with it.

[@gtmuse329A]

On enjoying gigs…there is a point where you need to separate ego from the performance and not make the gig the be all and end all of how you feel about yourself and your playing. In reality it took me years to get close to this and i still fall into in occasionally but it gets so much in the way of enjoying making music.

[@ThatPedalShow]

For sure the gig is about making the best music you can as an ensemble. But there’s no way of avoiding the fact that that music may have been worse because of your average playing. That’s what I’m talking about. Cheers.

[@brymills]

You should do a live unboxing and demo of the PRS pedals - with Paul Reed Smith in the studio.

[@mikeblue385]

why does the volume fade as the show progresses? am i going deaf?

[@ThatPedalShow]

You're not Mike! Apparently it can be something to do with the compression and encoding for streaming. Argh!

[@allanmills6540]

@@ThatPedalShow selected the whole audio track and processed fade out? 😏

[@makingmusiconline2309]

I love how with all the fantastic amazing delays around, as soon as they want to show how the David Bowie track is done, out comes the Boss DD200 (which, to be fair, Mick and Dan have always been really really positive about, and which makes me happy as I've already got mine!) Thanks guys, that was indeed a really use demo.

[@mattiv1]

What are your recommendations for a switcher of 5-7 pedals? Like GigRig QMX, but it's not what I'm able to get where I live. I'm looking for sth good enough not to struggle with sound loss (or possible noise issue) with bad quality of it. Let me know if you have any ideas

[@darenanderson1960]

Dan, glad you are feeling better! I hope the cough goes away and you are back to 100% soon.

[@TraneFrancks]

Dang. Sorry that you guys had to deal with COVID. I hope that any lingering issues resolve sooner than later! Be well.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

6:53 just save that Telecaster lick for the Telecaster!

[@kodykindhart5644]

I don’t worry about the red light I always play like it’s on We record every jam every rehearsal every show I just try to create the best music I can in that moment I usually give the first 3 passes the tightest closest go then take 4-6 if I get them I let it rip and comp the best parts Then If I don’t comp the mixer gets the best takes first then most creative later

[@ryangunwitch-black]

25:48 our favorite elementary school teacher threw a full sized Slingline stapler at us once! Lol 🤣

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I'm pretty sure David Bowie invented lightning. I saw it in a movie.

[@mickclash3520]

hi everyone, new US fan here. How do we submit questions when not in the right time zone to be awake in real time? thanks

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

I’m Glad your well and back Dan.

[@ruffryder13]

The only time I'm not inspired is if I start making myself practice a certain thing or group of things over and over. Unstructured playing makes me feel better about guitar.

[@taviswardlaw]

I’m no expert with red-light fever but at a few points in my life session work has been my main income. The best thing I found to help me was to spend more time getting it sounding right beforehand. I always play and perform better when it sounds right. Any time I’ve thought ‘ah That’s good enough, I’ll fix the sound after’ it takes me way longer to get a good take. The other thing I’ve always done is set up templates and have everything plugged in ready to go. That makes a big difference.

[@kodykindhart5644]

This is the truf 🤘

[@glennw3909]

Ummm…Dan sounds really good on the tele unplugged. 🤘

[@southpaw335]

Question for PRS, (Sincerely) he has created some of the most beautiful looking instruments in the last few decades, but truthfully why did/does he hate lefty players so much… when i actually wanted one and had the fun vouchers (OK maybe a decade or so back BC. - Before Children) he quite literally was not making any, let alone the one i would have liked. I totally understand the extra cost, the pain of manufacturing etc, the fact that we are such a small segment of the addressable market blah blah, but just about every other manufacturer makes the effort - what gives? I know it is his company he can do as he likes.. not a dig, just a genuine question. Edit: That’s it i might have to change my handle to ‘polarbear335’

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I don't know about Th'Vid but lockdown definitely wasn't as fun as many have made it out to be since we worked through it in the medical field! Glad you guys are both on the mend.

[@kodykindhart5644]

Yea shame to lay off so many dr during a medical emergency on that scale

[@kodykindhart5644]

Vid death rate is higher than average life expectancy plus comorbidity How many Babies did you treat or whose lives were threatened? Honestly curious

[@okayguitarplayer]

Welcome back gents... Cheers

[@thomaseast7699]

New PRS pedals?

[@ThatPedalShow]

Just received them. Paul coming on the show in the next couple of weeks!

[@philmus1]

Bakersfield sound Californian country music with heavy influences from the Oklahoma migrants of the dustbowl in the 1920s

[@joeleonard643]

Great show as always, loved the new section of TNS too!!(that nature show)😂😂😂 glad you leg ends are feeling better, covid is a hateful thing, still get a kleggy throat every time I eat something months later🙄

[@paulmatulevich3623]

Hmm, I Suspect it may have been Stuart with whom you'd ridden

[@benashton3691]

Poorly with covid?? How long has Dan been in the UK that he says poorly instead of crook?

[@ThatPedalShow]

It's a fair question. His foot did once get crook in Tootgarook, I believe.

[@m.charron]

Rosie's a great dog. Just sayin'.

[@ThatPedalShow]

She’s the best

[@kaiserjoe2316]

Question for Dan. Nashville Tele's. Love/Hate/Hmm? (Edit) Actually, Mick as well. Some purists speak as though they are an evil hybrid? Jack-of-all-but-Master of etc...

[@StratmanJerry]

I’ve seen pictures of Doyle Bramhall kissing Cheryl Crow on tour. Not sure how to feel about that one lol

[@TonyLondonUk]

where would dans podcast be located at? Plz let a brother know anyone is welcome to direct me cheers ps awesome show as always!

[@Ottophil]

Europe

[@TonyLondonUk]

@@Ottophil South Africa but I agree

[@TonyLondonUk]

@@Ottophil just to clarify I have no clue what you mean by Europe

[@meggymoo5496]

Can you please get Jonny greenwood on your show 🖤🎼

[@stevea5388]

Every time I see the Horsemeat pedal I think- Well my friend Jay Riemenschneider eats horse all the time! He gets it from his butcher.

[@brymills]

Opening gambit - Paul Kelly (and the Messengers) Sydney from a 727 (have you ever seen Dallas from a DC9?) Come on, Dan should have been all over that!

[@benmtz]

The taylor swift joke cracked le up😂

[@mickclash3520]

hi guys, Love your show - new fan here. I recently lucked into a bargain on a Lonestar Special. Any advice for using my OD/D pedals into the clean channel? Those controls are so interactive. Currently using Xotic AC Plus -> Plimsoul -> SA KingMaker. Thanks, Dave in Chicago

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hello Mick. Congrats on the amp - Mick here. I played Lone Stars for years and pretty much anything works into that clean channel because it has so much scope. No doubt that trio is giving you some mighty noises already! Good luck!

[@BorisGrozdanicGorjan]

There would be no electric guitar without Nikola Tesla

[@tonyyorke7050]

Great show again gent's, Friday's show with Shawn was epic you get the most interesting guests & they all seem to be really nice genuine people , which in your business sometimes isn't always the way !! Although it's normally the talentless ones who are the biggest A## Holes , obviously there's exceptions i.e Malsteen , Townsend etc . P.S it's a good Shawn such a good guitarist , I mean he's such an ugly bugger !! And yes of course I am jealous . LOVE and PEACE to everyone.

Greetings and salutations from Muscle Shoals Alabama hit recording capital of the world 🌍 Had a band reunion this weekend and Sadler Vaden sat in for the last song. Incredible. Video on Facebook group. Bonus. Nice guy. Didn’t change any settings, even though I told him it was fine, not even the strap. Rock on 🤘🏼
