Making A Meal Of It - Dan Vs Mick [Pedals For Food?]

Time for a bit of fun with a food-inspired pedalboard
Welcome to the show! Somewhere amid the deeply serious work of tone exploration, we do, on occasion, feel the need for a bit of levity. Thusly, every now and again there will be a little challenge theme just for the , erm, halibut.
Anyway, so today’s challenge is to put together a pedalboard capable of a nice wide variety of tones… albeit inspired by the dishes in a three-course meal.
So, waiter, will there a be a fly-board in my soup? Let’s find out…
Enjoy the show!

I’d love to see an episode where you both walk us through the entire TPS pedal collection and pick out your collective favourites and demo them

Nice one guys!! 🙌 Thanks so much for taking the ‘Chicken Quiff’ for a spin 🐔❤

[@fivewattworld]

Best way to delay my writing every Friday. Thanks boys!

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Thank you lads, this made my holiday, day off worth it. “Wind through the Jeans,” killed me, oh Dan, such a prankster. : )

[@challengertankian6972]

No-one is worse than Mick at hiding his disenchantment at amp tone. Dan is always overly effusive about every amp (or indeed pedal) that crosses his path, until the bubble pops. Mick just gets progressively more miserable - unless he's hearing 106db of clean headroom - until defaulting to down-turned mouth pentatonic hand flapping. I love this channel.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Haaaa! Yes quite. I hope I wasn’t too rude about the Big Chopper - it’s a truly marvellous thing in the right hands. Ie not mine! Sorry Steve!

[@darwinsaye]

When I heard the premise, my mind just went straight to the old Danelectro food series mini pedals. 20 course meal 😂

[@jerrygriffin6388]

Same here. Whomever has these is set for this challenge.

[@Joaomota87]

As soon as Mick searched for an amp i immediately thought about Mesa Boogie, Mesa in Portuguese is Table so eating your meal on a table makes all the sense in the world for me :)

[@livingthedream137]

Shalom and wind through the jeans. Classic!

[@cgmxtreme70]

At first I thought Dan was going to put the Halo and Hot Cake together for his dessert ( Angel Food Cake). Such a fun episode and now I have to figure out how to rearrange my board for a more perfect meal.

[@overdriveguitarchannel3403]

The wind through the jeans gag literally just made me spit coffee on my pedalboard

[@natepopodi4770]

The proper way to watch TPS! Coffee and pedalboard within reach.

[@bradenrodriguez5183]

I found myself watching this like it was live TV and didn't want to walk away,....so I didn't. Loved it. Thanks TPS!

[@blueshawk212]

“Chicken curry…because you’ve got a fart and a greeting”😂😂😂 You guys are the best!

[@TheBeriking]

I LOVE challenge shows, probably my favorite TPS format over the years. It’s always fascinating to see how each of you is inspired to approach the challenge from different directions, how you both are genuinely giddy anticipating the other’s reaction to your choices, and even when something doesn’t work as expected, we all learn something valuable. May there be many more! In the mean time, we can always go back to the epic “out of your comfort zone” challenge…

[@bluesful]

The Comfortably Plum and the Hot Cake were the stars of the show. They sound great.

[@MrFleury1986]

I must admit, I'm surprised no one used any Way Huge pedals .. i mean .. Swollen Pickle, Pork&Pickle, Pork Loin, Fat Sandwich, Saffron Squeeze.. and so on 🤣

[@zootallures1]

Dan, you had me at “Plum Tuna”. Brilliant! After that, the rest was gravy….(see what I did there?) 😀

[@ledhendrix5054]

Thank you Mick and Dan for your great help and advice , you have done wonders for my Mental Health, just by watching your videos and others like it has kept me away from TV which im dam sure was not helping my mental health. So yes a big massive THANKS

[@michaeldavis5081]

Everything comes out of the kitchen! Nice!

[@chedhead3278]

Thanks guys, lots of fun. Was sure Dan was going to rename the Halo to Haloumi. :)

[@danielwotton5961]

Dans plum chicken curry has to be the best tone I have heard on this show ever. truly special.

[@davidsummerville351]

Two amazing boards. Very impressed. Thanks

[@kaiserjoe2316]

LOVE THE PEDAL CHALLENGES! Makes us all think about the big points in a gig set-up. What works and what is superfluous. LETS SEE WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS.

[@peddlereffects]

If you’re concerned about the dual lock damaging the finish on the bottom of your pedal, I take off the bottom plate and run strips of gaffer tape across the base of the pedal. Then I put the velcro onto the tape. If you wrap the tape over the lip of the plate a bit, the mechanical pressure of the case against the lid will help keep the gaffer tape solidly in place when pulling the pedal off the board. If you ever want to remove the velcro, the gaffer tape will come off clean without damaging the finish. (It can pull off stickers like serial numbers, though.)

[@natepopodi4770]

This is a fantastic idea, thank you! I imagine it could also help with the pesky rubber bottoms of Boss pedals.

[@peddlereffects]

@@natepopodi4770 sure does! Although it will definitely take the sticker off so if you’re particular about that put a piece of paper or something over the sticker before putting the tape on.

[@backlom]

This is an early Christmas present 💝 Thanks gents, love challenges!

[@adamscottv]

Dan just wanted to use those two pedals at all costs ... love it ... they do sound great.

[@mattmitchell3927]

“Sorry I touched your knob” “that’s okay mate” had me 😂

[@scoresandflames]

Great show, as ever. I have a suggestion for another challenge: both of you pick three famous persons (author, scientist, athlete...) whom both of you know. Then you'd have to pick one person each and build yourselves a pedalboard with which you then compose a track, that resembles/resonates with that person or person's achievements.

[@confusedscreaming9727]

1:46 Dan literally does the Leonardo Dicaprio meme face; incredible.

[@garystackhouse5787]

These 'Challenge Videos' are one of my favourite types of videos you do! Always brilliantly entertaining! Cheers from Canada's East Coast!

[@mikehouston6456]

Mick- brilliant episode, perfectly demonstrates the importance of ‘everything matters’- every piece of gear you chose was individually excellent- but perhaps didn’t shine to their best in the combined context. I love chocolate but it doesn’t go with my fillet steak. You guys are doing a stellar job.

[@moose5206]

Really enjoyed the added walkabout shots in the studio. the sound quality on all of your video's is top notch.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you kindly!

I have to say that I haven't laughed out loud LOL on a pedal board build EVER. Good show! Good Show!

[@suicideasteroid]

So happy to see the Audio Kitchen.

[@karlwaugh30]

The Hot Cake at the end of the chain is absolutely amazing. It basically becomes part of the amp drive there. I use an EHX Hot Tubes for a similar thing (because I can't afford endless amps and am usually rehearsing on other people's)

[@adamscottv]

Great video. Loved the little amp tour there Mick. Happy Holidays!

[@LeonTodd]

32:05 got me good. Great to hear the Hot Cake in all its glory!

The return of the pedal challenge! Great job gents, I love this content!

[@vgynylrecords]

For future reference Mesa is Spanish for "table".

[@danolivier4899]

the lemon pedal sounded incred in the last video, the amp was definitely working against Mick, who I feel won the challenge despite Dan's merciless bending of the rules

[@davedavem]

You could have "Two Rocks" in your whisky aperatif!

[@TheHowardSinclair]

Another absolute classic! Really enjoy this format, and getting both of you a little out of your comfort zones always produces excellent, unexpected results. Keep on tonally exploring, it inspires and challenges me in all the right ways. Loving NPD, though it is giving me significant gas for fuzz which is the one effect I don't have any example of on my board :(

[@BounceBoomBounce]

Great job, loved the video, and both boards were magic. "Wind through the jeans" was awesome. I also noticed the Lemon Audio pedal had a sputter control. In the terms of a nice meal, who doesn't love a little sputter on their biscuits? Great stuff guys.

[@joshwinger]

Wonderful video!

[@MooCow2X2]

“Wind through the jeans” 🤣 I see I’m not the only one who creatively renames things! (Try dropping or changing a letter on packages. You’ll find some hillarious stuff!)

Part of my family didn't show for Thanksgiving yesterday. Now you are here. Day late but that is ok. Serving up a great show today. Thanks

[@andrewhartnett2140]

Loosen up Mick, your playing was great. It’s ok to improvise at the mercy of an effect. It’s as interesting as working on soloing over a new progression. Dan does the same thing over interesting delays all the time, with some tasty “jazz” chords to boot, and you think it’s great. Give yourself the same credit for having a go. Cheers.

[@AlbusBand]

[@fraenkiboii]

Thanks guys for the stomach hurting laughs I just had. Also, from this day on forward, I will never be able to look at my pedalboard the same way. I’ve got a muffuletta which even has the sandwich on it. I think I’m gonna have to sell it or I will have to laugh during every song when I look at it.

[@TraneFrancks]

Fun show! The only food-related pedal I have is the ol' Danelectro Tuna Melt tremolo. Have had it for as long as I can remember.

[@noyd4172]

Mick's long jam with the Delay Llama and the Harmonic Percolator clone reminded me of the guitar sound on "Perth" by Bon Iver; it's a sound with a lot of potential for rough edges that's reined in and let out by a careful touch

[@noyd4172]

@@RaymondGinn1978 I'm not super into most gain circuits but I think the hype is well-deserved for this one.

[@scottblack4067]

I feel a non-challenge could be more fun. The "Take the day off" challenge, where you both spend the day playing with gear that the other is quite enthusiastic about that you've not had a chance to discuss properly together.

[@dennisi6736]

Hilarious episode. Now i'm really looking forward for "Dan and Mick ,the cooking show". And of course - "experience days" with meat feast. 🤟

[@onenotesolo256]

Don’t worry Mick, we all have off weeks! That one might’ve been a case of form over function. Well done Dan for the actual board and tones. Bravo for TPS as always. Also happy Thanksgiving for those celebrating it.

[@gbarge4]

For goodness sake. I'm just catching up on things after some US holiday travels and this episode is why I'd never miss a single TPS. The challenges are always such great fun and the further the "rules" stretch, the better. Everyone is true to form, from Mick's disdain of the Hughes and Kettner to Dan's windy consequences of Bondi curry. (not the first reference, as I recall) Coincidentally, I was playing with the Hot Cake and Morgan AC20 yesterday and it is a special thing indeed. Not the same through the Magnatone but the Hot Cake is sometimes the very reason the AC20 gets switched on. They're magic in combination. Cheers, guys.

[@lbaccarini]

I love the playfulness of this

[@pauldeatherage6112]

You guys are awesome, gotta get that flanger and a lama

[@wewewewa]

the danelectro food series was a massive snub

[@JiminiCrikkit]

great fun guys enjoyed it muchly... that lemon job is stellar sounding isn't it ... @Mick I have the delay llama extreme and use the preset control box which helps - in my mind at least - separate the presets from the tweaks and custom sounds ... so effectively you've got full preset access and the tap/hold control box separate and then the main box I only touch when using the black alt button to access the secondary functions that the knobs have. ... there ya go explained as clear as Mississippi Mud Pie... you'll get the hang of it.

[@scotcruickshank7445]

After thanksgiving here in the states I can assure you there has been quite a bit of Wind Through the Jeans..... Well done gentlemen!!

[@randygeist666]

[@Adventuresingearland]

Lovely fun, chaps - well batted, especially Mrs Taylor! Had one of you used a baritone, you could have had a Lettieri-inspired deep sea fish course perhaps? JHS would have offered Pulp n Peel smoothies for a late brunch served with Banana Boost followed by Steak n Eggs, washed down with Sweet Tea. Had the chat continued, a snack course of Cheeseballs before a Honey Comb pud washed down with Moonshine perhaps? Hope Mr Thorpey didn't put you off as he gnawed on his Warthog while you ate!

It was amazing, but not for the faint of heart. LOL. Love you boys so much!

Been too long since the last challenge! Superb..

[@stanislavmigra]

Great episode, loved it. I think, all that Mick played was very good and very tasty, I think, when he hear it back, he will be less grumpy about the lack of headroom. Interesting thing, the Delay Llama is analog delay, but sounds almost exactly the same as my TRex Replicator Jr 😲

[@tc9716]

If only you had not just a Crowther Hot Cake, but also a Crowther Prunes and Custard, but it needs to be located just before the Wind Through The Jeans pedal.

[@jackgreenwood1817]

My Delay Llama Xtreme does the same cross talk thing when first powered up. If you engage the pedal and then turn it off again it stops. Also the modes you scrolled through are presets that can be edited using the black button to the right of the footswitch. Great episode, really enjoyed it :) that audio kitchen amp sounds brilliant to my ears.

[@EddyMaes-gq5eb]

Great idea to put the Jam delay lama x-treme for dessert. completely counter-intuitive in its use (especially in pitch shifting mode, the one I prefer), it offers incredible possibilities once tamed. one of my irreplaceable pedals...
