New Pedal Day [Victory V1, EQD Special Cranker, Fender Space Delay, Empress Comp MkII]

[@doesitdadrock1205]

“Less gain, more volume“ needs to be a shirt! Love this series.

[@Gorbyrev]

Not at a Killswitch Engage concert😁

[@BlaisenGuitars]

I listen to music all day long at work. In all honesty... nothing makes me want to pick up the guitar and jam a bit more than hearing either of you two play...

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ah man, thank you!

[@gbarge4]

It's a wonderful thing that NPD has a slight feeling of nostalgia. TPS has been a place to feel like home long enough for that. Your first impressions of new pedals has always been so cool. The enthusiasm is contagious. The playing was so good. Well done, guys. Makes me want run down and make loud noises! Cheers!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you G!

[@jackduxbury1632]

I’ll second that my G 🙌 Great playing my Luvverrrrrrs X

[@skovgaard2000]

I'll third G Barge!

[@angelomelitc]

Love your show. Dan, I would love to see an episode of the history of your Gigrig company and products.

[@titansky]

You guys are actually the best guitar show of all time period. I'm so happy to see you guys cranking out so much more content recently, going back to your roots I'm noticing too. Loved piknmix, love NPD Thanks guys ❤

[@mattf8595]

The sheer joy on their faces as they get killer tones out of the pedals is the best part.

[@Stev0BabaGhanoush]

That Gretsch with the EQD sounded absolutely sublime! That musical and harmonic feedback worked so effortlessly into Dan’s playing. Wow. Great combo!

[@kaiserjoe2316]

Love Dan playing Red, but the red Gretsch gives me wonders! (was gonna say wood but...)🤭

[@DVRMNaitor]

Being able to zoom into each individual pedal is such a cool feature to enjoy TPS, thanks KZbin.

[@matthewf1979]

Fender makes my favorite Leslie pedal. The Pinwheel is perfection! The people working on their digital algorithms are on top of it.

[@oldasrocks9121]

Special Cranker is a cascading Speaker Cranker/Electra and an Electra circuit without diodes with a tone control between them and the addition of the optional germanium diodes in the first Electra circuit. The 2nd Electra makes up the gain the tone control sucks out of the signal. You are correct: it's lovely.

[@debrutedrop]

These recent videos on a Tuesday have been much appreciated! 🙌 Love you guys!

[@birantomer]

The Special Cranker is one of the best pedal ever made and you guys really made it crank!! Please us this pedal more on your board. It’s affordable and versatile, I love the silicone option ❤

[@seanconnorguitar5972]

That ‘70 Strat has THE best strat-neck-pickup sound I’ve ever heard. 🥰🎸

[@ThatPedalShow]

Woohoo! Underwound/weak pickups… Eb… a few Hendrixisms. Winnings! :0)

[@BCarpenter2314]

Thanks, Dan & Mick! I asked the SuperChat question yesterday about the Special Cranker and, VOILA! I love mine, it's almost an "always-on" pedal for me nowadays. It reacts better than I thought when you roll down the guitar volume and has a fantastic amp-like overdrive/distortion. Cheers from Michigan!

[@evanmiller2579]

A Tuesday show...what an awesome surprise. Thanks guys. Loved that Speaker Cranker. Cheers!

[@itsdaviaquino]

The Special Cranker with a treble booster in front of it is glorious!

[@Coreywb]

Been representing the speaker cranker tor a very long time. Best pedal ever. The special cranker is the best and a real treat

[@charliekrengel1344]

Dan, your Gretsch sounds incredible. I'd love to hear it more often!

[@dhod900]

Mick, that 70 strat blows my mind every time you play it ❤

[@Gitfiddle]

When I really want to know something about gear down to the bones it’s always TPS. Always. No one goes in crazy depth with so much care like you guys.

[@RichCochrane]

I think Dan nailed it with the Church of Tone comparison; the original Speaker Cranker is an Electra distortion circuit (like CoT and a million others) so I presume the new version is too. Nowt wrong with that, it sounded ace here.

[@davedavem]

The LEDs on the compressor just explained compression. Great design!

[@wininpol]

That’s the review i wanted to hear with the cranker. Now i’m convinced. 👍🏻

[@scottrainsford_]

Though too humble to admit, the playing from both of you is in itself a showcase as always 👌

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you kindly. :0)

[@Telewest792]

Dan I’m a tele man through and through but when i listen to your friend Mick playin that strat wow, love your show as always keep the guitar relevant and those pedals surprising.

[@alguitarchristie]

Victory products are so good! I have the V30, the first generation Duchess V4 amp and now, the Copper V4 Guitar amp as well as, the Sheriff and Kraken Preamps! I think its a logical move to have pedals and they sound awesome! Martin is really on the right path and evolving all the time! As someone who gigs 3 times a week in Switzerland, with different combinations of bands, these products, just deliver! I don't need these. But, if you are a keen amateaur musician, or someone with not too much cash, these pedals are worth investing in! You won't be disappointed!

[@bleeknoir]

Watching the VCQ today while I work, and this drops. DOUBLE TPS! Great episodes as ever gentlemen.

[@liamh9814]

The Gretsch……what a total beauty.

[@ampoll88]

Love the sounds from the Special Cranker!

[@ArchitexMaze75]

So glad this is back! Love listening to you two jam through some new stuff, cheers

[@jonathanyork3636]

Oh my God- thanks so much for this show! I have the special cranker (it's awesome) as my always on foundation boost going into a hiwatt inspired custom amp head (big clean pedal platform). I love that sound, but when those V1 pedals came out I was intrigued- esp. by the Copper. Before this amp I played a Vox for years, so it would be nice to have some of that flavor again. However, I have watched the whole video and I can't decide. You guys seemed to really love the cranker- maybe more than the two V1 pedals. I want to love the copper, but it seems maybe a bit bright/ brittle. Wish I could try one out locally but no dealers around here. I'll be watching this video again, and on various speakers. Thanks so much guys!!!

[@paulbellamy2810]

Dan under his breath, "That Pensioner's Show". Hahaha! Great stuff, chaps.

[@2010njdevil]

I have an Echorec and didn't think I'd want another delay but that Fender Space Delay is so easy to dial in and with different texture that I think I will be adding it. Victory The Copper really had my attention in their large tube format to actually replace my amp's preamp but this one is great and at a better price point. Same with the Empress......I have a Keeley compressor and was looking for 2nd compressor, most probably optical but that Empress really adds something quite good and now has my attention. Great show!

[@garethbyrd5860]

It's great to see you guys back with pedals content

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ha! Looking at the last few months' vids, it's a fair point.

[@denmar355]

That Empress Compressor is a useful piece of kit for sure! The 2 o clock mantra made for a huge volume boost in the Super Cranker. The lower gain setting was sweet. The Copper sounds awesome! I can never get too much of Dan on that red sparkle Gretsch.

[@Thatbobguy8]

I love watching this show. Am I the only one though, that finds it alarmingly funny that a show about pedals, has two guys pushing the pedals with their hands? I chuckle every time I think about it.

[@ZigbertD]

Just got the Special Cranker a couple of weeks ago, it's so good. Spongy responsive fat , dare I say, "amp-like" overdrive. Crank the gain to ten and dig into the attack with hot pickups and get that power tube sagging to the point of choking compression. Rad! EDIT: Also at the price point, it's kind of a no brainer if you want old school amp like overdrive.

[@richardpribbernow9941]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the extended "Wig OUts" keep um up, I record them all into a cd that I listen to later.

[@akaTitaniumGecko]

THE (Guitar and) Pedal Show! Thanks, D & M.

[@hellbillyhex]

I was right!! I knew you guys were going to dig the Special Cranker. Earthquaker knock it out of the park with this one. Thanks for the videos. You guys are awesome and inspiring! Keep up the amazing work. 🤟🏼

[@paulmatulevich3623]

See, if you keep doing stuff like that it'll make me wanna go right back 😆 PICK'N'MIX LIVES!!

[@johnballantyne3458]

I love the thematic, deep-dive videos. But it's cool to get these "we got some new pedals, let's check them out" videos too.

[@drewg3087]

The sheriff sounds absolutely incredible. Have a special cranker and will buy a Sheriff next!

[@67er_matze97]

How cool is that :) I watch this while doing first testdrive with my Analogman King of Tone that I have been waiting for since 2018!

[@lebowski2007]

I was taken aback with the speaker cranker when I got it. That low gain Ge setting keeps me smiling!

[@gordonrankin4667]

Love the Special Cranker... I usually like germanium but for this pedal I prefer the silicon. A little problem since the switch is momentary and an MCU controlling the relay bypass it can be a little flaky, but not a big deal. The Fender being digital really impressed me. Thanks great show guys!

[@gph2193]

Get Rat and an Acapulco Gold. Rat in front of Special Cranker, Acapulco Gold behind. Pretty much nothing to compare it to except one hell of a ride.

[@davedavem]

I just traded my Victory V30 Jack for the V4 Copper Amp and I couldn't be happier with the decision. I can hear the amp in the Copper V1 pedal. I can see a Sheriff V1 in my pedalboard's future.

[@periloustemple8290]

Thanks for doing this! I love it. And, instead of the amazing revelations I can share - this is 1 of the greatest (all pedals on) things ever!!!

[@Guitaural.]

Ha! That last couple of minutes was every Hendrix live album, ever... thanks guys!

[@oldmantwofour5561]

Lol. That Am chord with the Space Delay. "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE", Mick.

[@petergraham9267]

Man, those Victory pedals sound great! Being a huge Vox fan, the Copper really floats my boat........and if I didn't play through Vox amps already, but was a Fender amp player, I'd have one right away! 😎👍

[@richardreed6538]

Right after the live show yesterday UPS showed up with the new version of the King Tone Duellist and the MXR Duke of Tone. Never having had a chance to play a KOT, I am not sure how close it actually is to one side of KOT but I really liked it. I can understand Dan’s devotion to the pedal. It’s a keeper. The Duellist is smoking hot! I swear he has tweaked that blues driver side almost as much as the TS side with the SRV setting. The dip switches on the outside make this wicked more usable. Love this pedal more than the original. Already asked for V1 Duchess pedal for Christmas. Pretty soon going to need a pallet jack to lug around my pedalboard. Thanks as always what you do.

[@bodenschatz10]

Love NPD. More of this, please, like weekly.

[@MrNeilltupman]

That Fender space echo sounds fantastic, properly versatile too.

[@chrisanderson9331]

Got to say your playing Dan and Mick is incredible I can listen to you guys play all day.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you kindly Chris!

[@dariusliadon]

I absolutely love my Empress MkII, it’s basically an always on pedal when I break out my Strat.

[@jamesdebenham]

You boys brighten my day every time you release a video! Such fun chaps.

[@BladeDoomer86]

Those intro jams.. Just WOW.

[@gabrielledebourg2487]

As an owner of the Copper V4 Amp (and before that, the actual amp) and I’m so impressed with how close the V1 sounds to the real McCoy!

[@smelltheglove2038]

Oh, it’s a real Hatfield alright.

[@whiskybravo4648]

I really dig the EQD Special Cranker. It’s the bees knees.

[@Zwidawurzn]

Ah nice finally Pick'n'Mix! Kind of exciting to see the new Empress Mk3 Compressor, was thinking about getting a comp lately

[@muuhn]

all pedals on at the same time was my favorite pedal

[@denniscoverband4369]

Love seeing the Gretsch Player’s Edition come out for these vids!

[@eaglerayrob]

Thanks for the introduction to a nice batch'O pedals. That Silver Sky SE sounds really good but, I have to stop thinking it should sound like a Strat to really hear it.

[@billsherrington5996]

Love a good compressor like the Empress. My Cali 76 stacked works wonders on slide as per the amazing Mr. George👍🏽

[@punottedbumhucker3974]

That gold strat is by far my favorite of Micks guitars.

[@brunoduarte5230]

Nice surprise! Thank you legends!

[@Kuztomshop]

ooohhh, THIS is why it's called THAT PEDAL SHOW

[@smelltheglove2038]

The tone at 21:20 is simply gorgeous. Sounded so sweet but it only lasted two or three seconds, lol, and then mick turned the knob😢

[@Freakaboogie]

heck, yeah, fellas! keep 'em coming!

[@TheRickJames09]

Sheriff starts at 18.52 Brilliant video gents

[@davidkay3443]

I need to stop watching this channel it costs me a small fortune. I recently got a lovepedal purple plexi and it’s soooooo good. Watched few reviews and your demo from while back. Was tempted by the sheriff v1 but got the purple plexi for slightly higher gains and push it with a soul food. It sounds out of this world. But that Sheriff now has me itching for another drive pedal.there isn’t s limit on how many you can have is there 😂😂. Great video guys.

[@matthewsmalley1278]

Don’t think I’ve turned off the special cranked since day one!

[@Timthecommenter]

Definitely on my “next pedal” short list. It’s that or the Walrus 385.

[@BCarpenter2314]

For $99 you cannot beat it!

[@Mistertbones]

I always love new pedal day!

[@seangardam1779]

Special cranker is fantastic on bass as well 🤟

[@Zed1984US]

Loving New Pedal Day

[@loopdawgg]

I always enjoy the show!

[@tonyyorke7050]

Cracking show LEG END'S, I loved that wee Jimmy crankie pedal ! Mick I loved your madness on the outro but you've been saying your ears have been playing you up . The dB metre hit 107 , you'll end up mutt so be careful . Tee shirt idea because you both sport the bin's why not a two Ronnie's themed glasses one ? Mick you'll have to explain it to our Antipideian Friend . P.S excuse the spelling . PEACE and LOVE to everyone.

[@SebastianFalvoMusic]

The Special Cranker has become my go to OD pedal. Gets nice tweed style stuff in the Ge setting. Nobels into special Cranker is amazing,

[@jerryyeaaah15]

the spank that 70 strat has is biblical！

[@BrandonIveyATL]

Digging the NPD shows. Keep it up!

[@nealpike6611]

Ah nuts I was hoping I wouldn't want a victory pedal but I'd definitely go for the low gain one

[@BenFentem]

Welcome return to the random pedals on a board format :) If you get round to doing the V1 Duchess, can we hear it into the fx return - I typically play in a silent stage setup and I have a V4 Sheriff running into an IR loader which is crunchy town all sorted but I have a feeling this would sit nicely to emulate the front end of a clean amp for a proper clean channel

[@bpmore]

Mick just helped sell 37 PRS Silver Sky SE at the end. Sounded so good.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hahaha!

[@MAP448]

Mick taught me a new chord at 50secs in. Ty Mick

[@ThatPedalShow]

Yay!

[@Cameron655]

Awesome content, as always. I'm expecting a call from my bank manager on Monday, and it won't be to sell me a pension. That ship has long gone over the horizon. (Edited to add: Oh lord, that PRS sounded amazing.)

[@hinterlandrider5300]

Best outro ever!

[@Adventuresingearland]

43:18 - That time Mick and Dan produced delay. Live and unrehearsed.

[@smelltheglove2038]

NICE! I love surprises!

[@davidmichele250]

A compressor was gonna be my next pedal. Narrowed it down to the Cali 76. May have to look again at the MK II.

[@weschilton]

Hah, that's the most normal sounding Earthquaker pedal I've heard. And it sounds good! Definitely digging the Fender delay too!

[@asafgindin5476]

got the eqd and the new red llama, very similar in lower volumes but the llama has more gain overall both are amazing, i feel that the eqd can do very the mild breakup thing better but theres something about that llama that i love

[@thesongwritersjourney]

Great playing in the intro Mick!!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you!

[@bilusaurus]

In the audio, I didn't get a sense of the abrasive treble that Mick mentions in the Victory Copper (using headphones). Will listen to it again on monitors later in the night. I, btw, loved that sound. Can't crank a AC15/30 to that point these days: the pedal seems like an excellent substitute. I need to get my hands on that pedal to try it out. You made my Tuesday evening. Thanks, guys! :)

[@horizonishere]

Massive thank you to a surprise Tuesday episode.

[@leightintle2940]

HA! Mick channeling his inner Steve Vai at the end was awesome! I love it when he cracks Dan up...

[@DriftlessBob]

NPD, greatly useful in understanding tone. Thanks mates.

[@camhaines5482]

A Tuesday video, wow thanks! Like finding $20 in an old pair of jeans!

[@matthewkiepert2055]

Again Mick! You kill it on the Les

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thanks Matthew!

[@bluesful]

The Cranker with Dan's red Tele sounded damn good.
