[@heavenly81]

Now that the Guv'nor is back in Town.. lets have fun!!!

[@MrNachoponcho]

The angry charlie and the AT are by far the best amp like distortion pedals I’ve ever used and will never leave my board

[@allthingsclassicrock]

Are they still working for you? I’m thinking about getting the AC as a baseline distortion to run through my fender bassman.

[@avivpinto4013]

The guvnor is more open . Love it

[@Tcflohr]

Thanks to your demos I went and bought an angry Charlie v3 today. In the store I try not to play it too loud, but once I got it home it truly roars with the warmth and bite I love. Incredible. Thanks guys.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Tim Flohr great stuff, thanks Tim :)

[@LoCoGuitars]

I see your point, but not to forget that the crunch box is also basically a a simplified Marshall Guv'nor. :-)

[@dub_2953]

MB215 STOP IT WITH THE CAPS LOCK!

[@stephen9944]

no you didn't.

[@aixpert291]

MB215 cool_starry_bra.jpg

[@Ubercoolhomie]

Could you guys do a 'Marshall in a box' into a Fender vs a real Marshall shootout? Maybe even a blind test would be cool

[@StevieStirrup]

Yup!!!!

[@shariffcote]

They did but I don't remember the video. It didn't sound the same at all but sounded nice anyway and it could cover the same ground.

[@aftermath844]

Be od

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

I have a old guvnor, a shredmaster and a purple plexi and they all sound great into my 71 super reverb. I preferred that sound over using them with my marshall head, which was already doing the marshall thing ...

[@ericdenton6664]

I'm a Texas born and bread guitarist. It took a while but you boy's have grown on me. Y'all can play them guitars and let the tones of the gear y'all use really shine through. Thanks for great video's and help understanding tones for gear I'm very interested in. Jolly good show.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Cheers Eric :)

[@Bigman9509]

The pre-gain side on the plexi-drive deluxe is an independent tube screamer type circuit, the left side is the marshall style od.

[@jameslewis2635]

The Marshall Guv'nor was the pedal that really introduced me to good pedal distortin. It remained the primary distortion in my first band until we got an ART Extreme. That pedal seems to be sadly forgotten.

[@georgebarry8640]

The ART XTreme pedal is a hidden gem, imho. I have been trying to get someone to make me a standalone version of it (without the Fx on it) for a looong time.

[@krispatel1]

Isn't the "mustache" graphic as you put it a reference to the design of Charlie browns t-shirt?

[@MisterTee]

Yes it is

[@jeremiahmountain2460]

Yes sir

[@knivesarequiet3706]

It amazes me people don't know this. Charlie Brown. Internationally known world famous comic strip and cartoon. At the very least you could've googled it. "Mustache", seriously? You guys are workin with some extra chromosomes:/

[@phlopalopagus]

I laughed so hard. I didnt know if he was joking or not. Made me wonder if he knew what Charlie is was even named after. It would have been pushing it but this pedal should have been orange for sure.

[@derrekclay7425]

I don't think the Peanuts was nearly as prominent in the UK and it was in the US. They've probably never seen it, much less know who Charlie Brown is.

[@tripleb2001]

I picked up the Angry Charlie V3 last weekend, due to how awesome it sounded in your videos and I got to say I am not disappointed thus far. Love your videos , keep up the excellent work!! Cheers!!!

[@hardrockjase]

Can’t go wrong With the guvnor in my opinion.

[@brianpeter7139]

The Guv'nor sounded the best of the lot of them.

[@glisteningkabana8154]

When Mick unleashed on the Plexi-Drive I was in heaven!! Well done Mick.

[@garyslash7552]

Thank God - it's Friday again: Pedal Show Day. And another one on every guitar player's favorite subject: overdrive/distortion. This jhs Andy Timmons is outstanding! Thanks again Dan and Mick

[@luckylicks3497]

Honestly, you guys have an awesome show! There are MANY of us who are head over heels in love with great gear. Your show never ceases to satisfy..

[@Dildobagginses]

nah i hate nice gear

[@gogajira2]

hows the metal zone project coming along?

[@davidmiranda7937]

As a life long Marshall user. Plexi drive wins. It sounds ridiculously close

[@thehound2161]

A classic line-up of beautiful Marshall tone pedals.

[@kevinjohnbetts]

Guv'nor all the way here. It's down to taste of course but the other pedals seemed to 'block up' a little (rather like the JCM900 series) rather than 'ring' when playing chords.

[@georgewarner3507]

Greetings from the States! I have the Wampler on my board. The post gain (left foot switch) is the Marshall overdrive. The pre gain (right foot switch) is a tube screamer circuit. When both are engaged it's supposed to sound like a screamer into a cranked Marshall. It compresses more, boosts the mids and tightens up the bass. I really like it. Tons of flexibility.

[@DavidDyte1969]

The "moustache" is the stripe on Charlie Brown's shirt.

[@nigel_tufnell]

+David Dyte yeah duh, dan

[@SCOREWIZARDSMUSIC]

+David Dyte yeah, obviously Charlie Brown

[@nickm.9474]

A/B with an actual Marshall. See if they can stand up to the real thing.

[@karlhenrikarendt]

Right foot switch on the Wampler is a Tubescreamer

[@nunyabizness8630]

I know it’s been said but to expand: Angry Charlie circle and mustache are Charlie Browns round bald head and squiggly line shirt. In addition to connecting the brown sound of a Marshall to the character, the squiggly line also represents the sawtooth wave form produced when driving an amp into overdrive or the gain stages in an overdrive pedal.

[@Ju287V3]

Great demo and finally a good tone from the 1962. Sounded really good on low gain. Thanks guys.

[@Beizeiten78]

Still glad I bought the @. Some of those like the Carpe are amazing, but the @, especially in 18 volt mode, is just so open and organic. I like the 1962x a lot, but it's sorta a different animal, more like the regular Charlie, more JTM 45 than JCM. An obscure pedal to substitute the '62 with would have been the Hot Modded 800 by some Texas company, is pretty sweet, but a little hard to come by. Always a great show, guys!

[@xMasterxRazorx]

Carpe and 1962 were super smooth, really nice

[@rangerdoc1029]

my verdict: with tweaking they can all be made to sound the same.

[@MikeTaffet]

The logo on the Angry Charlie is supposed to be Charlie Brown. The round head and zig zag pattern on his T Shirt. My guess is Brown Sound > Charlie Brown > Angry Charlie

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Mike Taffet That makes sense Mike. We like the Charlie Brown too. Thanks for watching!

[@GoDrex]

+That Pedal Show I assumed it was a gainy-er version of their Charlie Brown pedal

[@MikeTaffet]

+Baby G not saying it isn't, that's obviously where the angry part comes in. But the circle and zig zags is clearly taken from the Charlie Brown comics.

[@WinnieRoo1138]

So guys, if I were deciding between an Angry Charlie and finding an old Guv'nor, you're experience is the Guv'nor 'sounds' a bit better but the Angry Charlie has a better EQ. Is that correct?

[@DarthEcoli]

Just got the V3 AC today, and I can attest that the EQ is lit. Well worth the $200 USD.

[@danielroberts9579]

Man Mick seems to have unearthed an inner classic rocker. Awesome playing. You guys really have something special going on with this show. Totally addicted!

[@chrisjohnstone6164]

Totally loving the Keeley 1962x ... Great Peter Green / Eric Clapton Beano sounds!! Great idea the KT66 / KT88 switch to change the squash

[@leocomerford]

24:23 IIUC the Pre Gain knob and footswitch are supposed to be a simulated dirt pedal sitting in front of the simulated Plexi amplifier.

[@iwnicholson]

That Keeley 1962x was sweet. I would love to see a video comparing some Bluesbreaker style pedals...1962, Charlie Brown, Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal etc.

[@tomaspoblador8587]

And THE box of rock from Zvex ! Is in that way

[@koski666]

Thanks to you, I now own an AT. Keep on with your excellent show. Gigged last weekend wearing your T-shirt, and I ended up talking gears for an hour and a half with other fans of yours later that night. :)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jonathan Veillette best post ever! Thanks J ;)

[@julianpeters37]

That collings guitar is something else. Love it!

[@johnmadeburgers6200]

Julian Peters better than Gibson shit quality control

[@boboliver5907]

Can you demo the Charlie Brown or have you all ready?????????????

[@Fsuholley]

Cup of Coffee and That Pedal Show start my Friday off right!

[@NasserSharaf]

nice one guys - I have my eyes (and ears) set on the Charlie AT version, it really has something special going on with the extra headroom, but I gotta tell you, I had no idea the original Guvnor's sounded that good! wow! You learn something new every day.

[@wayfaerer320]

Would love to know what you guys think of the new Bogner La Grange.

[@ChrisDN]

Incredible! We just got the 1962 in at work today and I tried it out over lunch; already on my list. Then I come home to watch this. Awesome work as always boys :)

[@marki7661]

Great addition this week guys! All are awesome pedals, And Mick, I'm definitely feeling the Bryan Adams! Not just because I'm from Vancouver Canada, even though he left us to live with you blokes, but because as you mentioned, Keith Scott set the mood for some of the most tasteful leads of the 80s and early 90s....definitely one of those underrated artists

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Mark I Nice one Mark. Reckless was a big part of my early learning as a player. Obviously I couldn't play any of the leads as a kid but the sense of rhythm and groove, and melody... And tone! Killer playing and sounds all over that album. Thanks for watching!

[@PaisleyWilde]

It's got to be the original Angry Charlie for me! That clipping sounds just so amazing.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Paisley Wilde it's pretty killer :)

[@jamesgoddin8880]

My regular Friday evening entertainment- the Wittertainment podcast and That Pedal Show. Living the dream

[@daveryan2148]

Plexi drive is solid. Dumped it only bc had a fizzle tone with specific amp I like to use. Didn't do it on my other amps. Now using a revival drive compact for the lighter crunchier stuff. But the Plexi drive was solid.

[@TheGeriatricZoomer]

It would be cool to see you guys try out JHS's Charlie Brown V4. I'm curious to see how it compares to the Angry Charlie and other pedals like it.

[@r.abolim8491]

Amazing video as always! So great to see Fire Custom Shop in your show! Greetings from Brasil :D

[@wonderwomanguy]

G'damnit, now I have to look into that 1962!!

[@actorartistmusician]

Re-Posting here: Guys, cheers from the US. I have followed Mick in Guitarist for years, and somehow stumbled on this show...have recently become obsessed, and am now an evangelical devotee. I play in a lot of cover bands - and my saving grace from a budget and ease o' use scenario has been the POD HD500 (FX ONLY). I've been psycho stoked about the Helix coming, and recently bought, fondled, and sadly - returned it. I returned the Helix because I'm undecided in my debate to move to stompboxes. But the topic is this: Can I combine stomps and digital modelers, specifically drives, comp, fuzz, etc. with digital modeling devices like M9. Why am I asking this question? The Helix sounded better with drives (and anything that modified gain structures), before hitting the input of the Helix. On the POD HD ...not even close. I understand this has to do with dynamic range. I would love to have Drives/comp/whammy into M9 (for all mod/dly/etc.) into amp. Then another M9 in loop. what about other multi-effects? drives into input?

[@Gabaz76]

Charlie Brown and Keeley 1962x are pedals fantastic!!!!!

[@wagnernoise]

Thanks Dan & Mick for this amazing comparison, exactly what I needed (as I commented in your other video before). Tasting licks, as usual, from you guys! Cheers

[@JKM395]

I can vouch for the Wampler Plexi Drive. I've had mine for two years now and it will never be sold or traded. There's plenty of gain unless you do serious metal. I play an LP or 335 usually, into a Peavey Classic 30 for large gigs and a Katana for smaller ones. The boost side is an independent tube screamer type circuit. It's extremely flexible and Wampler makes good stuff. Highly recommended.

[@Brendolicous]

i cried when you took the tele out. That tone was amazing through everything

[@JamesRussoMillas]

Andy's AT is my favorite, Carpe Diem is my 2nd. I actually have the original Plexi Drive and I think it sounds better than all of these for low gain IMO.

[@wreckoningday]

Really love this one. Been wanting to hear these side by side and esp on That Pedal Show! BTW, The graphic on the Angry Charlie is Charlie Brown's head and the design on his T-shirt he always wears.

[@Jeffway24]

Hey Dan and Mick, the squiggle under the circle is the pattern on Charlie Brown's shirt and the circle is his head. The smoke represents him being angry. Peanuts was popular in the US but I don't know if it was overseas.

[@konnektlive]

Omg its Friday and I just came back from a tiresome studio recording! How wonderful it is when you go back and see your favorite channel has uploaded another great video with two wonderful guys who are fun as well as knowing what they are doing! Thanks again! Btw, I got my Andy Timmons @ pedal couple of weeks ago and A/Bed that with the Angry Charlie V3 (the new one) in the shop, and honestly thought they both sounded great. BUT! the AT with that 3 positions toggle switch as well as having the Presence knob (which is lacking on the AC new version unfortunately I must say) is far more versatile IMHO. Also I noticed that as you said in the video the AC V3 is a definitely less bright. I guess the reason is that on the AC new version you don't have the Presence knob anymore which I think is very crucial for shaping and matching the sound with different amps. I think the Mid and Bass are already set perfect on these pedal and we don't really have to mess with them. AT is more versatile IMO but all the others are also very good. :)

[@harryemmott8597]

+konnektlive exactly the same for me an hour ago as I get back from school!

[@Shannonguitarboy]

The best and most informative channel ever! You guys have been my teachers and I've learnt a lot through your videos. A shout out "Thank You!" from India. I had a question though. It is regarding distortion pedals. What is your opinion about the True Tone Jekyll n Hyde pedal? Could you guys do a comparison between the JHS AT drive and the True Tone Jekyll n Hyde V3. I would love to hear what you guys think about these two great pedals. Thanks a ton! Shannon

[@LilGuyBigVoice]

Dan, Mick, I've only recently found out about your videos in the last few months. They are all unbelievably informative and inspiring. Thank you guys so much. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Ryan Hurst Thank you Ryan, great to have you on board. Thanks for watching!

[@briancorley9878]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but the wavy mustache thing on the angry Charlie is the design on the front of Charlie Brown's shirt. Love the show guys!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Brian Corley got it, cheers B :)

[@gregoryjones2733]

It's the stripe on Charlie browns t-shirt..

[@juanantoniomusic]

Gregory Jones Just a guess, but I think the circle is his head.

[@sawdust6968]

great job MICK giving props to the AMAZING KIETH SCOTT!

[@ThatPedalShow]

I love Keith Scott. Still listen to Reckless all the time, still absolutely love it. Tone.

[@sawdust6968]

that solo on "everything thing i do" is some of the most BEAUTIFUL playing ive ever herd.

[@Adamhauk22]

Damn now I have to build myself a Guv'nor clone. I actually started breadboarding it while I was watching this.. Man you guys and this show have not helped my crippling gear addiction LOL...

[@LoFiIndians]

need a MI Audio Super Crunch Box for HiGain tone fest :)

[@ed1978ed]

Where's the name dropping horn? ;) 35:41

[@steverayburn6271]

The pre gain on the plexi drive deluxe is a TS style overdrive/boost.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Steve Rayburn Cheers Steve. We should have read the manual. It's more fun not to, right?! Thanks for watching!

[@steverayburn6271]

+That Pedal Show absolutely! great episode guys!

[@wampler_pedals]

+That Pedal Show The pregain controls the volume on a TS type of circuit that is controlled on the pre gain switch (switch on the right)

[@jonatanguitar]

I didn't expect it but the tonal change from 5:37 to 5:51 is HUGE. That bright switch, just wow... I'm amazed. For clean sounds maybe yes, but distortion a big no-no. Anyone knows exactly what it does? Boosts the treble (or cuts bass/mids maybe?) obviously but I mean in what freq range exactly?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jonatan OTW it's just a small value capacitor across the volume pot. It lets a certain amount of treble through no matter what the volume. The more you turn the amp up the less effect it has

[@jonatanguitar]

+That Pedal Show I see. Many thanks for explaining!

[@JoeHeisler]

Great video as always, I wish the Bogner La Grange was out already though so that it could be in this video since I'm really interested in it (especially after falling in love with the Red Pedal).

[@hairychris444]

Worth it just for Mick's expressions. The Wampler sounded amazing with the P90, but iffy with the others. Something to do with that mid push from the pickup?

[@DK-mc1yr]

I run a Mesa 5:25 Express Plus on the clean channel with a Tone City Dry Martini (OCD) for lower gain work and my beloved JHS @ for higher gain on an American Loopers ABC Looper switch. The Mesa "Burn: channel is of course the highest gain option...

[@timg3830]

Is the shirt Dan is wearing going to be available? I dig the black and white design

[@Gitfiddle]

Angry Charlie is great but you can get the Charlie's voice with the Wampler plus all the additional features like the built in screamer. My vote is for Wampler. Amazing pedal.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jeffrey Haefner yep, Wampler is killer

[@damonstewart70]

+That Pedal Show is the wampler good for a solid state amp,sounds ferocious on every demo I heard

[@StephaneBergeronPixelyzed]

For me the clear winners here are the JHS pedals. For one thing, they all sound great with little tweaking. The Plexi Drive seems finicky to me. It ended up sounding good but not as good as the JHS or the Guv. The original Angry Charlie and the new Andy Timmons @ model really have something in the low mids that give it the punch and warmth I was craving when I purchased my @. I would have loved you guys to spend more time on the @ because the 100 Watts mode make it a different animal than the other 2 ACs. The 25 Watts mode also just sings and adds so much sustain! The newest one was my least favorite of the 3 ACs in direct comparison. The original and @ both have a chewy, chunky quality that, having played the @ in a band context this week I know correlates to a great feel under the fingers. My bandmates immediately noticed the difference without me telling them I had something new. The new one has it too but less so than the original and @ from what I can hear here. I don't know about the original AC but the EQ controls on the @ are both low pass filters so they really let the natural warm low mids and punch get through no matter the setting. I love that. For sure many will prefer the control of a 3 band EQ but I'm really glad I chose the @. If I needed to tweak the EQ in the bass I could do it with my multieffects or a dedicated EQ. My Strat has active EMG pickups though and they really push these low mids. I've owned a few distortion pedals in my day and none ever sounded or felt as good to me as the @. Great job guys!

[@NoyzyBoyZ3]

Hello!! Good to see you guys again!!

[@gmacdk]

Interesting comparison with the Guv´nor. One of the reasons I stopped using it was the EQ: It was too "fiddly": I found a good sound, but as soon as I needed to change something, usually the top end, the mids would change, and then when you tried to fix that the whole sound was gone. I think I prefer boxes with just three, max four knobs..

[@scblds7496]

Fantastic gentlemen! Now I can go off and be productive after my Friday Morning Fix!

[@hchoe741]

wampler really should've just labeled the 2 gain knobs as "gain" and "boost" cause the "pre-gain" is just a screamer type boost independent from the main circuit

[@sljulio]

If we're voting I'm calling the Angry Charlie 3 with the Keely a close second! Great job as usual guys!

[@sljulio]

Probably because I sold my original Guv for $100 bucks ( can I get it back Alan? Please! )

[@williamolsen20]

I used to do live sound and a couple of times a band would come in with a distortion pedal driving a loud twin reverb, and it would make my inner ear itch. I do not know if that makes any sense, but that is the only phrase I can use to explain this sensation.

[@mtboni]

Maybe you guys didn't get the full potencial of the Plexi-Drive deluxe by not understanding the pedal. It's a Plexi-like drive in the post gain section with active EQ and a TS808 on the pre gain stage (with only the volume knob). If you could, please make another video about it. Beside that, excelent work as always. My favorite music channel on YT. Perfect chemistry between you two. Thanks for all the lessons and entertainment. From a Brazil fan here.

[@shortyred60]

That little riff at 4:22 was awesome!!

[@douglasbaum1846]

love this show! thanks from Southern kentucky. finally two English chaps that speak American. so happy my limited intellect can understand you.

[@toddknaster9731]

Nice comparison. Just ordered, but haven’t got the Angry Charlie yet. Have you run it on 18V, and does it make a difference? So I just got it and it sounds great. In the video it sounded very muffled sounding so I was worried, but it is anything but muffled sounding.

[@druwk]

Really fun demo! Nothing says “ROOCCKKK” like that tone. Also, really that classic Rock/Blues thingy. Loved the tone with all pickup types. Wondering how an old school RAT fits into the mix? I generally do a more overdrive type thing...run two Soul Food pedals into a nice tube amp. One set as a clean boost, pushed treble, running into the other, set as a darker distortion, with the tone around 10 o’clock. I have a compressor in the front of my board. I can build up to something like that tone, or have the different layers for different shapes and colors. Wonder how riding the volume would impact the sound on these pedals? Keeley and JHS seemed most usable...can’t afford the board space for double spaced pedals, unless they are doing serious double duty.

[@DavidDyte1969]

Been watching this in bits and pieces and finally got to Mick getting his EC on. NICE. I'll throw away the first two discs of my Crossroads box set and just make an mp3 of this video now ;)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+David Dyte Hahahaha! Maybe hold on to them a little longer David. For a 'Blues' player I surprise myself that I never really got into Clappers. I was too railroaded on SRV, Albert Collins, Hendrix... And then fast forward to Landau, Grissom, Philip Sayce... All of whom owe a debt to Clappers of course! I should woodshed some Brit blues. :0)

[@DavidDyte1969]

+That Pedal Show I got into slide blues first, from listening to Johnny Winter, Son House, Robert Johnson, Ry Cooder... Clapton came a bit later and then I was gutted to realize he's pretty damn good with a slide, too, even just using one as an afterthought.

[@thelolguy007]

Guv’nor

[@mrmagic1989]

Any idea on the spec of the os4's they're are many options! Low wind, 2 magnet?

[@Ibanezman03]

Hey, first: i really love your videos, they helped me a lot understanding what you can do with pedals etc.! second: i looked through both channels and could not find a video about tremolo pedals...could you maybe change that ? Greetings from Germany

[@mattg082]

I’ve gotten to play with the @+ for a bit now. While it has some great features, and I’m not sure if an EQ pedal could fix this. Or if the AC3 has a more full spectrum. I found that the @ cut a good bit of bottom out of my Tone King Imperial mK2. I have many pedals on my board that sound great with that amp. But wanted a main modern distortion. It is indeed a modern distortion that takes to effects well. But I found it to sound like a cardboard box with power chords. It just doesn’t bloom, and seems to me it just takes over my amp and makes it more mid focused. Very lush for solos and such. Maybe it would sit well mic and in a mix or on a 2x12 cab. But for a single 1x12, it just seems there is a compromise in the bottom end that takes away from the Tone Kings warmer rounded sound. My old Jekyl and Hyde V1 fill out my amp more than the @. However the @ for soloing sounds killer and the 100w mode is great for chords that are not using the low E. Kicking it on as a main distortion just made even my overdrives sound bigger and more rounded. I haven’t had a chance to compare the AC3…but does it have a full EQ spectrum? The @ has a very tight bottom end and feels like it shrinks my guitar sound when playing in low register notes. I’ll be giving a Dirty Little Secret and possibly the AC3 a go, when JHS gets back to me about the EQ spectrum. This is something I don’t see posted a lot more should do. Capture to see where these pedals cut off or are voiced. Would save so much time for buyers! Buzz words on websites only do so much. If I know the AC3 has a lower frequency spectrum I would jump on it. But if it has the same crew spectrum as the @ with just 3 EQ knobs. Then I can’t say it would be any better on my amp. The @ def feels very tight but that may not be good to fill out the tonal range on a speaker. Who wants to go from soft to hard distortion playing Rhythm only to have the freq range shrink? Especially when you have 7 other pedals that don’t do this. I just found it very weird, and the @ would be a home run if it had just a bit more low end to fill out my amp. It makes it sound like an 8in speaker, vs a 12in playing power chords.

What’s the song at 34:15 ? For some reason the name is escaping me

[@PedroBernardiGuitarra]

I was hoping you would get into the Carpe Diem a little more. Anyway, they all sounded excellent! Thanks for the video!

+Pedro Bernardi We've been asked so much about this pedal Pedro. We'll do something more in depth. Soon! Thank you for watching.

Now, I have a Marshall Governor 2 and a Tubescreamer in my Ibanez UE300 unit and will be looking to get some Richard Thompson type tones. I know over recent years he’s been associated with Fulltone OCD and Barber LTD will either of those Marshall or Ibanez pedals get into the ballpark...?Oh, and I have a TC MojoMojo on its way, knowing that the TC is supposed to be a bit of a OCD clone... What sort of settings should I perhaps be looking at..? The rest of the potential board I’m going to be using is A Schaller Treble/Bass Boost Volume Pedal EHX Pulsar Tremolo EHX Good Vibes Mod Tone analog Delay If I go through my Wem Clubman rather than the Marshall DSL401 (original EL84 version) I will have my DOD Reverb at the end of the chain. Any thoughts? Apart from, get a Fender amp😂

how the the marshall jackhammer compare

I just picked one up for $20 at a local guitar store! Sounds awesome!

Interesting comment about pedals from the eighties. I still have a Boss SD 1 from that period and it's got this mojo that I can't explain and the same goes with my Ibanez TS 9. Would it be possible that tone may change due to the source of metals used in part production. By this I mean steel / alloy today may have more contamination of other metals to produce the same components?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+AussieCornerStudio some components have changed quite a lot in the last 30 years with laws like RoHS meaning it can't have nasty stuff like arsenic and cadmium in there any more. The difference in composition absolutely has an effect, but designs change as well,

You guys are reading my mind as I've been wondering which to buy. Thanks!

I think the wavy line is what was on Charlie Brown’s T-Shirt.

The Andy Timmons Pedal Show! :D Amazing show as always, guys. Keep on... Cheers

Hey guys, the pre gain on the Plexi Drive is a one knob Tube Screamer circuit :) Had the Plexi Drive deluxe but sold it to buy an Angry v3 :)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Darthhalitosis Know Thanks Darth. We should have read the manual. :0) Too much noodling to do!

[@Darthhalitosis]

+That Pedal Show With that many awesome MIAB pedals, it's totally understandable :) Thanks for making the shows guys!

I know i’m extremely late to the party (by over a year) but the Keeley “1962” is more related to the JTM45/SuperBass family than a SuperLead (or later Marshall). Presumably why Mick is churning out the old EC licks.... Of course by now the Keeley “Oxblood” is also worth a listen. Pete.

From this demo I definitely like the sound of the Guv'nor pedal more. I'm thinking about trying one of these out with my 1993 AC30tbx. I think the added treble reach from the Guv'nor might come in handy with the Vox's normal channel that I use. It's pretty warm, and I regularly have to push tone knobs up on drives for my WRHB Tele. Thanks for the help setting my mind between these pedals, guys.
