Old New Borrowed Blue Wedding Gig Rig Challenge - Dan Vs Mick

[@sdmcustoms]

Watching Dan use a butter knife as a screwdriver and then grab a spaghetti like handful of wires from a draw makes me happy to finally have something in common with him ! 🤣

This was a real treat to watch 😁 I played about ~150 weddings since 1973 and this was spot on. Even in Germany they ask for other songs like "Jalousie" tango etc. Btw. Mick: I answered the question for the worst gig "Playing on the wrong wedding" and yes there were 2 guesthouses in the village, both had a wedding. We stopped at the first pub we saw and ask if there is a weeding...and yes it was. So we set our stuff up, got dinner and drinks and started to play quietly during dinner time. The brides father thought the grooms father has booked us and vice versa 🤣 So it went on with dance till about 11 pm they realized nobody booked a live band. So belive it or not, we went to the "real" wedding and talked to them, they were upset first but we straightened it out, packed our stuff and played till 6am for free at the correct place.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hahaha! Amazeballs!

[@petergraham9267]

You win!! Best wedding gig story EVER! HAHA!

[@benmarshallproduction]

As a man who has played many a wedding, this is worryingly accurate 😂!

[@ridesingletrack]

Mick: "It's too much gain, mate" Also Mick: plays Eruption for bride's walk down the aisle 😂

[@ThatPedalShow]

It’s about what’s appropriate for the job. If Dan is going to desecrate the memory of Chuck Berry with too much overdrive… aregghhh. But Sweet Jayne down the aisle to her doom. Needs DISTORTION

[@pronumeral1446]

@@ThatPedalShow Perhaps you can play eruption in the couples bedroom on the wedding night.

[@risteardohaodha23]

Dan: Goes ‘jazz odyssey’ on the wedding march. Bride: “I don’t” 🤣🤣🤣🤣😀 A classic TPS episode, hilariously funny and yet at the same time nicely informative. Had me in stitches all the way through!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ah man, that’s awesome: thank you.

[@simonwilliams9916]

My favourite moment is Mick saying “When we are playing What’s the Frequency Kenneth” at a wedding! Made me laugh out loud 😅😅😅

[@FabrizioCalderara76]

Mick's face, when Dan says "Collider is green, not blue", is priceless 😂

[@electrobeats6449]

It is, I think I am with Dan though!!!

[@thegaindane]

Yeah, It's green to me too. Maybe Mick is the one who's colorblind 😉

[@rogernewport4196]

Mick playing an Enter Sandman pastiche whilst wearing a fez. My life is complete! 😂

[@kwillis7779]

First, thank you both so much for everything you do for our community. Second, Cheers! to Dan for the G&L ASAT!

[@EzyoMusic]

I made a promise to myself that if I ever get married, I will have the band play all the songs you shouldn't play at a wedding.

[@levelpeggy5885]

That G&L into the vox sounds really, really good.

[@paultaylor2968]

A cross between magicians and cooks to produce those magic and tasty sounds. Shows what ears, knowledge and taste you both have.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thanks Paul. Not sure if this is a joke, but if it isn’t, thank you!

[@michaeljohnson8058]

😂 i love Dan even more now-the master of undercutting a compliment. “You would absolutely get away with it…. like I’m getting away with this hat.”

[@stevebees3992]

Between Mick's pickup rage last week, and Dan's knife screwdriver/box of 'stuff' this week, I finally felt represented on TPS!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hahaha!

[@chrisquinn9104]

If they made a video where they ran out of time for actual playing and spent 45 minutes looking for a missing guitar strap, I wouldn’t need to do anything

[@Tomk_Brown]

Absolutely loving these Top Gear-esque ridiculous challenges, hope to see more in the future, great stuff!

[@alexleech4490]

Sometimes, their genius... it generates gravity...

[@paulwatson8809]

Show idea: bring your Lonestar with the broken reverb, your Marshall you want modded, Your noisy Hiwatt etc. to an amp tech and film them doing the fixes. Might be a long day of shooting and editing but I think many of us would enjoy the process.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Great idea! The Lone Star has already been to two techs… but the others maybe!

[@angelosanti9761]

Happy you guys are making it official, took you long enough!

[@GiovanniBottaMuteWinter]

I’m glad to see a G&L on the show! I love those guitars! And I love the headstock even though lots of people hate it 😊

[@timodelange]

Same! my nr.1 is a G&L S500 (strat with MFD's). It can do anything, really stable trem and is dead silent.

[@nickbosworth966]

You boys are playing my wedding. Consider yourselves booked! Ultimate wedding band rig Strat, Hot Rod Deluxe, a boost and a tube screamer.

[@JedSprague]

Can’t imagine how many orders Cutler has gotten from leaving this guitar with TPS. Spectacular sounding thing

[@lance134679]

Bit of a shame you can't actually play a bit of each song without getting a copyright strike. Seems a bit unfair.

[@DanPeacock]

Dan, fellow Dan here, the Collider looks greenish to me too. But, there's enough blue in there I wouldn't fuss. Great idea for a challenge.

[@ciaranjmurray]

Definitely looks more green than blue on my screen, at least. Have never seen one in "person"

[@soulassasin10]

Great show as usual lads. I'm in love with that Cutler Panama guitar 🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸 Oh man it has some sweet tones 🤘 you guys need to feature that guitar more on the show 😁

[@jcwear89]

Agreed that blue Cutler sounded super !

[@aftermathstudios3717]

That G&L Tele sounds absolutely glorious.

[@phillipbland2861]

Good shout on the ASAT special. I have one of those and I love it.

[@BobbyBBetlejewski]

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! Props to copyright sneak around “Enter Postman”🎶🎸🤣

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hahaha! Enter Postman! Hahaha!

[@Daren67]

Finally seeing a vid of pedals being actually put into practical musical use on the fly by pro musos (ie dialing in specific song sounds) has been very educational & inspiring. Great episode guys! 👍🏻 Also, loving the copyright dodging techniques employed 😂

[@carwynvan]

We definitely need more of you two trying to play songs whilst avoiding copyright strikes 😂 that's absolutely fantastic!

[@recklesstoboggan]

Dan! I absolutely LOVE my G&L ASAT Special! Great choice. Running the volume and tone knobs at about 50 to 70 percent sounds like heaven, then you roll it full wide open to giv'er hell. Pristine cleans, and a growl to die for. Seriously under rated guitars/pickups (the jumbo single-coil Magnetic Field Design pickups).

[@ricardorodriguez5549]

We once had a bride request Pink Floyd’s “Mother” for the mother/son dance. And THAT was when I realized the leader earned every penny in having to deal with them.:)

[@mwmclean]

It's funny, no matter what gear is used, Dan always sounds like Dan and Mick always sounds like Mick.

[@ThatPedalShow]

There is profound wisdom in that statement!

[@thedudemkii5381]

Dan won this. His amp is actually old, his pedal was newer, he went and borrowed a guitar right before the challenge, and his delay pedal is actually blue, and no one apart from me has ever requested Whats the Frequency Kenneth or How Soon is Now at a wedding but Dans memory man could nail a Don't Dream it's Over or Every Breath You Take tone

[@macanoodough]

I feel the same about my ASAT Special. Though I didn't catch it at first. I was like, gee, those pickups look familiar...

[@eongxien]

“When you can’t find the tools you need, I get frustrated like Mick does when he is putting pickups in his 335.” Hahahahaha…

[@ShaneOBrien]

Mick and Dan, another informative show in your volumes of cool shows. I wonder how possible it would be to create a show that contains only pedals and settings that have been used in well known music and/or bands. Something that directly ties a lot of the modulating type of Pedals with something tangible to relate them to. Not so much the OD or distortion type of pedals. The fuzz stuff have been covered by everyone and their Mother's. An easy example would be the Talk Box and the Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel" relationship. We all can easily see and hear it used. There are a gazillion modulation pedals to fill up a show. I'm thinking, copyright strikes may be an issue preventing a neat show like that huh? Just a thought...

[@paulwatson8809]

Show idea: bring your Lonestar with the broken reverb, the Marshall you want modded, the noisy Hiwatt etc to an amp tech. Might be a long day of shooting but many of us would enjoy the process and the before/after sounds.

[@TheMerc1950]

Also, the outro "Here comes the bride" was excellent!!

[@ckturvey]

I think the rigs you guys built would complement each other in a band, wedding or otherwise. You guys would be able to handle every yelled out request from "Freebird!" to "War Pigs!" No losers here as far as I'm concerned.

[@xHowieHoward]

I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n roll...

[@41DegreesSouth]

Literally just got in at 1am this morning from playing at a wedding in the middle of nowhere. Setup was 1:30pm sharp lol. Happy people made it all worth while though. That and getting to watch the absolute carnage unfold as the night went on 🤣

[@jensencox1226]

That “I DON’T!!” Made me laugh way harder than it should have hahaha good one Mick 😂

[@PeteHawthorne]

I would swap my fiancé for a Cutler HH s-type! ;)

[@deancutler848]

There’s always a deal to be had Pete 😂

[@southpaw335]

That was fun - great to see the G&L ASAT get a showing (i’m biased as i own a few G&Ls - but they really are great guitars) Overall quite hard to pick a winner, but i know that if you combined both rigs - guitars, effect and amps (in TPS wet/dry) the brides father would be loving it ! On another note the S-type with dual humbuckers - very nice. *final note - i swear when Dan went flat peak, i thought Tim Pierce’s better looking brother had joined the show ;-) **ok final note really this time - the Fez of truth is now a thing !

[@ryevick]

I love these challenge videos. I think it might be interesting to put specific twist on a few of them. Several years ago a friend of mine was called in on short notice as a backup guitarist for Stevie Wonder.

[@peomystudio6909]

I must say this.. Ilove you guys Great music - great video - you've made my day ! :)

[@bilusaurus]

Does "double borrowed" = double points? Great episode, as always! Also, I am now playing Major Sandman -- it's addictive.

[@adamloake]

[@petergraham9267]

Absolutely! It was scarily close to my years doing bl**dy weddings!! HAHA!

[@1967clem]

Don't know whether this has been flagged to you Dan & Mick, but I was watching a video about Dweezil Zappa's live rig and he had a Keeley D & M Drive on his board...!

[@chrisbenson673]

Brilliant episode fellas! Thank you for what you do. You made me smile multiple times today.

[@michaeljohnson8058]

Dan’s correct. The beautiful collider is gunmetal forest green, while the other pedals he named, do indeed appear blue to me. Rawk on

[@Damaraja]

My ‘91 G&L ASAT III (MiniH-S-S) may be my favorite guitar (and I own many). It’s an honest axe that rewards time/effort put in. Fun vid. Thanks 🤙

[@simpwood4973]

Mick wearing a fez and playing enter sandman in major plus the tapping in the solo was pure gold. Extra props for the dive bomb for the bride

[@44dognut]

You guys should do a sound like classic reggae, not seen many channels cover

[@titansky]

On the source audio, love the sound.... but am I alone in feeling like I would never buy one because it's too ugly?

[@zacherycampbell7296]

As someone who just put together their first “real” Pedalboard, I felt like I was in a challenge like this! 😂 I told myself 8 or less, and I felt like I had a million constraints to choose just that many! 😂 great video!!!

[@makingmusiconline2309]

I know the feeling ... particularly when you have half a dozen drive stages and three fantastic reverbs that all do something special (and different from each other) ... it's *so* tempting to say "put them all on, and I'll use a switcher" or even "put them all on, and I'll only switch on the one I want" ... and then end up with a pedal board the size of a front door!

[@thejoshbtv]

I love the chalenges. Reminds me of the good ol' Top Gear days. Possible challenge idea: The Foodie Challenge. 3 pedals named after food, to play 3 songs about food or has a food item in the title, by bands that have a food item in their name. Bonus points if you use an amp that has some form of food in its name as well.

[@ThatPedalShow]

[@cactus-mcjacktus]

the Vox, bridge pickup and the MM is the sound of god, as far as clean tones go for me. Even though it was a very short sound bite, just the way those top strings sounded, my god. So good.

[@victormaniaci2104]

Great show as always! Another idea for a pedalboard challenge is to make a pedalboard with different priced pedals. Like 1 cheap, 1 mid-priced, and 1 expensive. See who can create the best sounds with those limitations.

[@JiminTennessee]

BTW, I played one wedding...it was my last :)

[@jackieohehir3259]

If I was to pick a winner, it wouldn't be Dan or Mick. The Dinosaural Cogmeister wins for me !

The Collider is a fantastic pedal. The only improvement I'd like is more flexibility to darken the sounds with further the tone knob, I tend to have tone all the way down and sometimes I want to darken it further.

Man, Mick!!That guitar sounds really great.!! I was especially impressed during the 40 minute plus section.
