That Pedal Show - Behind The Scenes: How Do We Make TPS?

Welcome to That Pedal Show! Please subscribe to our channel and visit our store www.thatpedals...
Life too short for long KZbin videos? Please see the timings in the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below to help you navigate the video.
To celebrate the incredible milestone of reaching 100,000 subscribers on KZbin, we put together this video explaining how That Pedal Show comes together, plus a little bit of background stuff on our motivation and hopes.
We talk about filming, audio production, editing… it's a run through all that background shizzle so that you can see what goes on.
The show you see each week has a team of four behind it: Mick & Dan, Simon who does the filming and editing, and Katherine (Mick’s wife) who takes care of all the TPS Store stuff and our finances.
It’s a tremendous amount of work and we’re exceptionally lucky to have such awesome people helping us.
More than anything, we're lucky, grateful and immensely proud to have YOU LOT! Kind, like-minded guitar players who watch the shows, contribute to Patroen, buy T-shirts and pedals and, of course, watch the shows. A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!
Huge thanks also goes to our exclusive preferred retailers: Andertons and Pedal Empire - links below.
So thanks again for watching - here's to the next 100k!
PLEASE NOTE: When we go through the audio process, we’re talking about basic principles and processes, not necessarily demonstrating the finished product.
Thank you for watching so far, and long may it continue.

[@seanmesken7207]

Dan and Mick Hi, Hello I just want to tell you that you guys have made a massive positive influence in my life, and I want to say thankyou. Over the last year I've struggled with depression and anxiety, and I dont have many friends, none who play an instrument. But since watching you guys you've given me someone to escape with, and every time that life feels like its bearing down on me and I dont want to do it any more, I come and watch you guys, two mates with the same passion as me having a great time, it's like you guys are my best friends. Thankyou for all the entertainment, please keep it going!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Sean Mesken hey Sean, Dan here, lovely to hear from you mate. Mick and I are no strangers to the darkness, there's no rhyme or reason to it, but I can say genuinely, playing the guitar with a sound that inspires is one of the best therapies available. (That and Brazilian JiuJitsu ;) There's 100,000 other people on here that share this passion as well. It's an awesome thing. Cheers Sean, delighted to be your mates :)

[@mikefenton5634]

Sean Mesken I too am no stranger to these kinds of feelings. You don't have to go it alone. We may never meet face to face but if you need a mate to chat about gear or movies or cool tunes or whatever, you know where to find me.

[@ripplebear]

This is a great community. What's it..1 out if 100 comments is something negative? And even way fewer are actually hateful? We need to embrace this as much as we can. And bro, I sure hope you continue to feel better! Hang in there!

[@Chrismayo1981]

Nice cameo from the Mrs. Mick! She was wearing the right shirt!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Chrismayo1981 Completely coincidental - she didn't know I was making that video! :0)

[@MrShmellit]

That Pedal Show Mrs. Mick "Oooooht"

[@brinepacer]

Oh man that was fucking hilarious. "ooh!"

[@dvdpz89]

Definitely the best part. Love it when the wives show support. Mine is the same.

[@juanmaperera]

The whole guitar community is grateful, bless and humbled to have such amazing show for free available 24/7 for everybody to learn. All done with such a genuine and personal approach that is not only addictive for every guitar geek, but also absolutely mind bending. As you say, we all learn from each other. Ill send you all my love, respect and energy. I love you guys, please keep doing what you do. Thank you!

[@ericcarpenter3263]

My favorite show. Period. Congrats on 100k.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Eric Carpenter ah, thanks mate :)

[@powdermnky007]

Yes, learned more this year than I did in the last 20!

[@hollywoodactress]

Great show and this is a great episode to see how much work goes into creating content for us. Btw love it that your wife is advertising the show when she is out and about :)

[@hafstrat]

Rc Dad / Sultans of Wing in my life!

[@Marc-uw4mt]

exactly 100.000! Congrats!

[@sdmcustoms]

My wife once made that face when she walked in on me at the computer ....I wasn't editing .....😱😰😂

[@Chilinoploppy]

I don't have anyone around me that likes to talk gear. So this show means a lot to me. Thanks for everything Dan and Mick!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+AeonKage Ah man - new friends required! Thanks for watching. :0)

[@Lorneplumber]

beautiful show, well crafted with love

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Lorneplumber cheers L :)

[@grxgh9198]

TPS tour!

[@michaelsaulnier5096]

I like that you guys never appear to be paid shills for the pedals you use on the show, but rather are genuinely interested in the topics and pedals you discuss in each episode. The pedals used help illustrate the theme of the show and can range from brand new to old classics... even pedals you can't buy anywhere but second hand. I'm sure many of the products in the show benefit from the exposure, but selling them isn't the main focus of the show. Also best chemistry in the MI KZbin world... you guys obviously like each other and have a great time... and it comes across! Congratulations on your success!

[@andertons]

Congrats on the 100k you absolute legends....

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Andertons Music Co ah, thank YOU! You were in our corner right from the start and we're so grateful for that.

[@kodykindhart5644]

Leg ends

[@stuartphelps3293]

Thanks to everyone who works on TPS. I've been watching for over a year now and have learned so much. I look forward to Friday mornings every week.

[@erniesfo2022]

Excellent video! This video explains why TPS is the best program about Guitars/Effects/Tones and Technology period. Full stop. Dan and Mick are not only deeply informative, but it funny and witty all at the same time - no mean feat. Their enthusiasm for finding and creating new sounds is infectious. I happened across TPS entirely by accident, and it's no exaggeration to say that the show inspired me to explore the world of hardware effects and especially guitar pedals - something that I had lost touch with years ago when I began to intensively pursue recording, mixing and mastering music in the box. Congrats on your success to date and in the future.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Ernest Fuentes ah, cheers mate, much appreciated :)

[@Skybluetoo]

Just simply THE best show out there - anywhere. Don’t ever stop!!!!!!

[@danabnormal5892]

Onwards and upwards guys. That Pedal Show has become the show that I look forward to the most every week on any format. Netflix, TV, KZbin, the lot!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+dan abnormal Wow! Us too, but we're biased. ;0)

[@iaindavison6740]

The highlight of my week. Dan and Mick, over the past year you've inspired me to blow the dust off my guitar that I hadn't played for 15 years

[@martlgr]

What a great episode! I didn't realise so much effort is put into each show! I'm also now slightly disappointed it's not filmed in a shed at the bottom of someone's garden which I'd always assumed!!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Bite Sized Blues The dream is to have a (massive) shed at the bottom of the garden. We started in a cupboard, so we're doing okay. :0)

[@jeffhebert9643]

Hands down . ..the best pedal reviews on KZbin . Thanks guys.

[@powdermnky007]

I've always wanted to see a behind the scenes at The Gig Rig company.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Rc Dad / Sultans of Wing Aha, maybe we can persuade them... :0)

[@powdermnky007]

thanks for this video as well. its great! :) Always been curious as this is my favorite web series and also the one i've learned the most from. Taken my tone to a new level! Thank you so much!!!!!!

[@dannypulleyn]

The fact that even after all of the hard work we don't see you put in and the early starts etc, you still have fun and don't seem tired/stressed on camera is a credit to you both. Easily the best show on youtube or any other platform, thankyou!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Danny Pulleyn Thanks Danny. Have to admit that I have the occasional sense of humour failure (Mick here), but it's only ever because I want it to be better all the time! Dan too, but he's not a stress bunny like me. :0)

[@matthewkreyling]

Someday, when I have the time and money for the equipment I dream about, TPS will be the encyclopedia/shopping list I use to put it all together. You guys have struck gold with a great balance of guitars, amps, PEDALS, guests, knowledge and that curiosity that continually leads into the next great "What if...". Congrats on 100k subscribers and keep on pickin'!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Matthew Kreyling Thank you Matthew, so glad you enjoy the show!

[@shooweri3666]

The show has a ton of usable info and world-class playing. Watching/listening two top notch guys chatting about pedals and gear in general is what we all have been waiting for. So thank you!

[@leolego]

Haha, loved the wife entering bit!

[@francisgori5631]

Congratulations to everyone involved in the "That Pedal Show" family, on a pretty remarkable achievement! I've been a consistent weekly watcher for at least the last year, and it's one of the highlights of my week. This program has fundamentally changed my guitar playing, sound, and how my recording work sounds- all significantly for the better. Certainly, The Gig Rig products have much to do with it, but without the tutelage, and experiences gleaned from the program- it would just be more gear in my studio. You all have had a profound positive impact on my musical life, and it has been a boatload of fun too. Sincerest thanks guys on the beginning of hopefully a very, very long standing run of "That Pedal Show"- and I'm happy to be part of this amazing experience.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

This is so Great. We would also like to see: Bloopers, Outtakes, and ( more ) Behind the Scenes. Its really a Fantastic Show, and you 2 have become part of " What I Look Forward To - Each Week " - Thanks for all the Great Information, Dedication, and Tremendous Effort that goes in to Producing That Pedal Show !!! - Michael Caz - NYC -

[@BBQgeek]

Congratulations, Dan & Mick. I'm 49 years old and have been playing guitar since I was 16 (33 years!). Your show is the ONLY THING that I look forward to on the internet with real anticipation and joy. My teenage kids have loads of channels and people that they watch all day on KZbin instead of watching TV like normal humans. I have ONE channel that I watch on the internet (TPS). I don't know what I'd do without you now. To be fair, the past year and a half of watching you has cost me more than a few bucks. My pedalboard currently looks like a TPS greatest hits album. But I'm way smarter about pedals than I used to be. I really appreciate the both of you so much. Please keep it up. Warm regards from America.

[@zb5715]

I wish TPS was a channel on my cable TV, just constantly showing episodes all day long

[@Esquire-ul9xs]

What I really love about this show is that instead of trying to sell me more stuff it helps me understand the gear that I already have and inspires me to experiment with it!

[@joebrennan52]

What a pleasant surprise on a thursday! Congrats on 100k also, you guys deserve it!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+joe brennan Gracias!

[@HaMM4RTime]

The bromance between Dan and Mick absolutely makes the show, soooooo good man

[@altkin4701]

Awesome work fellas! I stumbled across your videos in the very beginning when it was still on the gig rig channel and have been watching ever since! You guys easily have the best gear related KZbin videos by far, I've learnt heaps! Your different approaches to gear compliments each other perfectly and makes its very entertaining and educational! Cheers and keep up the awesome work 😊👍🏻

[@altkin4701]

Also more fuzz videos please 😂😂😂

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Alt Kin Thank you kindly Alt and thank you for watching!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Alt Kin Dan will be happy!

[@RedRose4711]

Love the show, love the people, love the guitars, love the pedals, love the amps....don't ever stop!!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Tarotecana Thank you!

[@rectangularcuboid]

I put more stock into this band "making it" simply because you don't have all the problems that come with having a drummer. Revolutionary stuff you've got going on here. When can we expect the Chalk & Cheese reverb and delay pedal?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+LeTTaRS Soon, soon.... :0)

[@angbernardo]

Cool vid guys. My wife knows that every Friday morning, I sit down with my 10 month old boy and we watch That Pedal Show. Thanks for having the vision to put a show like this together and continue to sustain it. I really hope you continue to grow and earn a living from doing TPS.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Angelo Bernardo Thank you Angelo. All best to you and your family. The tones will go in with Bernardo Jr. :0)

[@theHlessOne]

Great job guys. I'm thinking of doing a podcast so seeing lighting, camera, and mic setups gives me some ideas. While watching the footage of your live event I realized you should consider filming one or two That Bass Pedal Show episodes. Show some love to the rhythm section.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+theHlessOne We are absolutely going to do that! Hope the lighting stuff was helpful. We included it for this very reason. :0)

[@MatthewJohnson97]

That Pedal Show yeah man I've watched every single episode and I'm a bass player! Theme idea: How to glue bass & guitar together

[@mikeroadblock]

Matthew Johnson me too!!!

[@timothyberg7615]

I think I would watch you two talk about anything. Yes, it's the pedals and all the learning, which I value greatly and have learned so much from, but your personalities are the real draw. You are genuinely having fun sharing what you know, and that comes across so well. Thanks for all the hard work. Keep it up!

[@vincentbull]

Congratulations guys well deserved.

[@Edd030427]

You know, the best thing about TPS isn't hearing the gear, it's learning how to manipulate any gear to do what you need it to do! My sound has improved immeasurably since you started (even as a one amp and 1-3 pedals big band player), thank you!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Edward Maughan Superb! That's what we want to hear! Thanks Edward.

[@ebeep]

That '63 000-18 sounds fantastic!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+ebeep Such a wonderful guitar

[@ebeep]

Mick's ability to just pick it up and play it perfectly also helped a bit :)

[@nicolasdelcastillo6497]

Just wanted to say your episode on the GE-7 graphic equalizer is basically a textbook on gain staging, frequency boosting, headroom and related concepts to me. I give the link to everybody I talk to. I believe I can say the show helped me step up my tone game live and in the studio. You're a wonderful contribution to players and hope you stick around! I want to heart this but I'm stuck with the thumbs up button.

[@PureRiff]

Congrats guys, well deserved! My favorite youtube show, always enjoy watching and listening to you both. One thing missing from the behind the scenes is, how does Mick defy gravity with his hair before the show... it always looks awesome! (I don't mean to sound creepy, more so jealous). Cheers :)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jason Pawlan Best. Comment. Ever. (Mick here). I spend a fortune on little tubs of goop. :0)

[@PureRiff]

haha!

[@15MinuteGuitar]

He's had a "natural uplift" since he was a lad.

[@samuelwnovak]

I discovered this show 2 days ago; in that time, I've found more timbral possibilities in my modest set up than I had in probably the last 4 years. The spirit of exploration and experimentation that permeates this channel is hugely inspiring!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+sam novak ah, that's awesome, cheers Sam :)

[@hammyjammies]

Can I start a campaign for a T-Shirt saying "Can you put a bit of dignity in there?" with a Boss Metal Zone on it?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Vince McMahon likes big Texan bullies Hahaha!!!!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Vince McMahon yes!!!

[@wildeye71]

This is the sort of thing I really don't say very often. Brilliant. I'd watch TPS for what I learn. But I could simply watch you for the interaction between you, the enthusiasm and the way it is simply enjoyable and inspiring. You're out there doing something creative and wonderful - so positive.

[@kevinjohnbetts]

17:22 Hello to Mick's lovely wife! :)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Kevin Betts Katherine says Hello back!

[@musicmann1967]

That was funny! "Oooh!!"

[@HermelJaworski]

with That Pedal Show shirt!

[@nsrfreak]

You could have introduced her!

[@good_king_guitarman1334]

My wife is also a Kathryn - just went to a different school!

[@jdaa79]

Just fantastic! Love that you guys have found something that you love and that makes you happy. This show is a Saturday morning tradition for me. Some coffee, a house full of sleeping family, and TPS. Hope you keep the ship running for years and years! Well done

[@Kevin-the-Just]

Hi guys, congrats on getting 100k subs. Do you get a card from The Queen?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Kevin She's on next week...

[@Kevin-the-Just]

That Pedal Show. Should be a text from Brian May at least!

[@hugorivera9738]

[@raze1012]

Best gear show on KZbin, hands down!!!!! I rush home every Friday just for this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ForViewingOnly]

"Do you want sugar in your decaf soya latte?" "No thanks.. if you could put a bit of dignity in there that would be good." :-)

[@FLCTampa]

Thank you guys for expanding not only my knowledge of pedals and amps, but how they could/should sound. I'm a worship pastor in Tampa, FL USA who uses the tones I've learned from you guys to get better sounds out of my POD HD500X. Keep up the good work.

[@harryvincent]

Where has today's episode gone? On pedal power amps? I saw it in my sub box earlier but when I came back it was gone. Was excited to have a double episode this week haha

[@richardhuckle5715]

HarryPlaysGuitar Think they had an issue with it, so had to take it down for editing.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+HarryPlaysGuitar On its way back. We made a massive gaffe (about the power of the Mv50AC) so that's being fixed!

[@harryvincent]

Haha ok great :) congrats on 100k aswell, you definitely deserve it!

[@geoffnightingale9290]

Congrats. As many have said, I've learnt tons, spent a blinking fortune, become a tone junky and loved ever frikkin minute of it.... you guys made the phrase " I'll do it one day".. become a reality.. and I'm 48. Thank you.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

I have noticed that every night I watch a video, or two, or ten of yours, I am in a far better mood the next day. Good humor and great tones is medicine for the soul. Thanks.

[@russharnish]

Dan and Mick, I'm a proud patron of the show and the owner of 3 TPS shirts and a TPS mug. I support you guys any way I can because I've been playing guitar for 40+ years and have learned more about gear from TPS than I have in all the years prior. Here's to many more episodes, subscribers, signature pedals, and guitar players influenced! Would love to see you guys live in the U.S. one of these days. Maybe put that on the roadmap! Cheers from Albany, New York, USA!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Russell Harnish Russel, we're so grateful to you, thanks mate, means the world :)

[@davidkronzek6305]

Almost cried watching this, seeing how much love you put into it. Greatest KZbin channel ever!

[@michaelpucci9962]

Great show ! I am a studio guitarist in Montréal ,Québec, Canada touring with various artists and yes I have learned so much from this show ! 40 years in the business and yes I wished you guy's would have been there years ago !! Thank's so much and keep the video's comming ,so much respect for both of you and your team...

[@jsentilles]

I'm sure many others will say it but, I've been playing for 20+ years and I wish you guys were around during all of that time. I play my guitar more because of this show. :) Even from the beginning when I started watching I've always been impressed with the quality production of the show. Obviously you can tell it has improved but it has always been very good. There is so much valuable information presented on the show...pedals, loop switchers, amps, guitars, how to set things up correctly, and some killer playing. I look forward to this show all week and it's the first thing I do on Friday morning, a cup of coffee and That Pedal Show. Thank you!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+John Sentilles Thank you so much John. It means the world to me and Dan that people find it genuinely useful and inspiring. Happy days! Thank you for watching - we will continue to improve! :0)

[@edtweed5e4-a]

Having played guitar for over 20years and gigging generally twice a week, it's great to still be able to learn something new every week and find other equally tone obsessed folk having as much fun with it all as I do. We are all so lucky you guys are producing TPS, congrats on the 100K and long long may it continue. Thanks Dan, Mick and Simon for all your hard work

[@treorross99]

I've been playing guitar for 25 years and i was never a big fan of pedals because i could never get a good sound until i started watching your show now im a pedal junkie. Love the show.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Trevor Ross YES!!! That's amazing! Thanks so much :)

[@nojyeloot]

Absolutely love these two guys. Literally the coolest show on gear on youtube. Period.

[@michaelreis8266]

I've said it before, but they aren't just words, I love what you guys are doing. The admiration you have for your guests is palpable and familiar. There is nothing quite like being moved to tears by epic talent, the world needs more admiration now than ever. Thanks for all the good feelings from Redfern Syd Aus!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Michael Reis Thank you Michael - so glad you enjoy the show! Thanks for watching. :0)

[@thelightmonkey1970]

Even Mrs Taylor wears a TPS T-Shirt. You guys are committed!

[@josequibaoneto4586]

Please, guys, keep doing this show. That is by far my favourite channel, ever! Besides the fact that I learn tons of things with the videos, I really appreciate how you talk about the pedals and how easy it has been to catch up the language. Cheers from Brazil! Long life for the TPS!

[@YtheMathGuy]

You guys are the definition of ingenuity and creativity, mixed with an awesome love of the guitar. We all feel that, congrats.

[@thomasraven]

You guys are the reason why I have pedals at all. I was always a fan of the sound of amps by themselves before I started watching and understanding how I could actually use pedals to achieve the sounds that I could imagine without feeling like the pedals were dominating everything. Cheers on 100K and here's to 100K more!

[@AncientMarinerYT]

Well guys, I've been playing 40 years, and love the show. Thanks fellers.

[@ludvigchristiansson798]

+that pedal show I just have to say that one big ingredient in why this show is so good and popular and why it helps so many guitarists, is that the show is genuine. It's not too complicated, but you still answer quite complicated questions, and you do so exeptionally well. You have such a clear structure in all the shows (and if it gets too messy, Mick always wraps it up and makes it all clear again. Haha, love your work Dan!). You also are so relaxed and down to earth when you film the show (joke with each other and when something goes wrong you just lough about it) which also contributes to the feeling of that the show is genuine. To sum it up, it's very easy to understand the subjects and follow the show. I have not played guitar for 20 years, but maybe around 7 years and I have definetely learned more these years when I've been watching TPS than the 5 years before TPS. I am so thankful for that you guys are doing this. It's been such a help when developing my guitar playing, musicianship and of course understanding how to use my pedals properly! Cheers and good luck in the future, doing shows! One last thing: I would love to see Greg Koch on the show, that episode would be so HILARIOUS!

[@codieplaysguitar5585]

You guys have genuinely taught me so much, I love the show! I cannot even begin to explain how you've changed my view on the importance of a TREMOLO pedal. Changed my life.

[@robytjoseph]

Count me in as one of the 50,000 people that won't stop watching your gigs from week to week, from across the pond! Great video, so cool to appreciate the work that goes into these, and please don't stop! Sidenote: I didn't think I'd like the artist shows as much as just watching you blokes and pedals, but these have been tremendous--more, more!! Bring back Joey and Ariel together and talk about how they work together (tonally, pedal-wise, and artistically).

[@kaycamargo3478]

I can't measure on how much you guys have an influence on me. since I started watching the show, I've learned so much about gear and setup, thanks for sharing your love with all of us!

[@paulunderdown627]

I have a king of tone now thanks to you.lt is my go to drive.l play strat kot and prs sonzera .best sound I ever had . Played for 25 years and you make every day a school day. Thank you. That Pedal Show

[@ThatPedalShow]

YES!

[@niloayer]

seriously, though, I used to be a drummer and I ended up quitting music for about 10 years. However, as a "turning 30" milestone or what have you, I decided to learn to play guitar properly at the absolute worst time of my life. We all know how frustrating that can be, especially at an older age... having you guys here with the show and everything else, from the banter to the guests, it's truly awesome and helpful to me - and I'm sure to all the other 100k+ here as well.. I've learned a lot so far by watching you fellas and the show has kept my musical mind sane and eager. Had blast peeking behind the curtains on this one. So... thank you, mates. Whenever we cross our paths, first round's on me. Live forever. Abraço

[@ZachRice]

I recently branched out from my entire life of playing multi-fx and modeling amps to the world of valve amps and pedals, and you guys were one of my big inspirations to do so. It continues to be a great learning experience and I'm spending more time on my guitar than I have in years. Thanks for producing such an awesome show!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Zach Rice Awesome, cheers Zach - happy noises to you!

[@aixpert291]

That Pedal Show if you guys could do some kind of referrer links to pedals that would get you a commission, I would use it. I end up buying a pedal almost every episode!!

[@paulalanputnam4592]

Best Guitar Show Ever.

[@steveomahoney1053]

I think the most important thing you do, is inspire us lot to play. Ive bought 3 strymon pedals because of the show. More importantly, I am playing more. I want to play more. Good job chaps!

[@mattwilliamsonmusic]

It's a great show - I've been playing guitar for 40 years and I learn something every time! I loved when your wife walked into the back of the shot - like the toddler that interrupted the interview on the BBC news! Surely there could be 'that amp show', 'that guitar show' spin offs!

[@douglaswhite1624]

Out of everything on KZbin, this is my favorite channel. And this is really one of my favorite videos that you've done. The openness and honesty is so great. So thankful you two (+ Katherine + Simon) have made this happen. I think I'm going to be in England (from Seattle) for work in October, and I would love to stop by and shake your hands.

[@Tony-tx3vm]

The first comment Ive EVER added on any KZbin channel. I’m your typical been playing 20 years and have never been so inspired to play, I sound and play better than ever ‘hand on heart’ a massive part of this is due to the knowledge I have gained from TPS. So much more I could add but you have heard it all before. THANK YOU BOTH

[@jefftopping8377]

One of the best ever episodes! I've learned more about guitars and effects over the last 2 years than I had in 40 plus years of playing, so thanks much!

[@budmcnelson]

Thanks for the peek behind the scenes! It was like a well crafted "special feature" on a Blu-Ray! I learn something new every show. Yes, I DO wish you were around and doing this 20+ years ago when I was a more active musician. However, you are here now, and that is fantastic. Thank You!

My wife has been saying I need to find something on the internet that doesn't make me sad (like reading the News :( ). You are it! I have had a great time watching your shows after I found them a couple months ago. I even ended up getting the Keeley D & M to use with my Blues Jr. It is the first pedal I have ever owned in 40 years of owning guitars. Great job!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Steve Bailey Your wife is wise, Steve, much like mine (Mick here). Thank goodness for them. So glad you're enjoying the show - we appreciate your time. Thanks for watching and buying a D&M - should be doing the business very nicely with that Blues Jr. :0)

Love Love Love you guys. The show is awesome, and I tune in to 1. learn something 2. hear some amazing tones and players 3. feel like I'm getting to hang out with you guys and geek out. You ALL do an amazing job, and there is a special magic in the dynamic there. It's obvious that you love what you do, because it genuinely shows every time I tune in. Thank you for all of your efforts.

[@markholmes2665]

Great show. Please don't stop! Ever since I started to watch you two, I'd be sitting there having fun with what goes on, and then BAM....I think "ohhhh....that's why that's doing it.....and when the show is over, I plug in and mess about with my pedals.....thanks for what you two are doing! Great fun!

[@jarsful22]

I have never commented on any KZbin video in all the years I've been watching, But what you guys do is truly invaluable to guitar players. I have been playing for more than half my life and I have learned more in the past 2 years than I had the prior 16. Thanks for what you do and as you can tell from all of the other comments, what you do is helping guitar players all over the world. Keep up the great work guys!!!

[@johnsjarboe]

Congrats dudes. Keep doing what you're doing. Long formats, not afraid to go super in-depth with explanations of things, and not afraid to actually learn something on camera, great qualities for this show.

[@thenarrowgate1645]

Brilliant! Watching TPS we learn about pedals, guitars, technique, video editing, and much more.... It's always an education, in numerous ways. Thanks guys for all you do :)

[@shadowz8926]

I've been playing on and off for 19 years. In Malaysia, we don't always have access to the best gear available and many people like me are simply too timid to go to a regular brick and mortar store and play in front of people only too eager to judge. Thank you for helping me focus on my own "sound". I am sure I'm not the only one to say that I've learnt more (and to a higher level of fidelity than most) within a few weeks watching your show than I have throughout many years of noodling and trying stuff. You guys are ace. Thanks again and congratulations on hitting 100k subscribers. This will be one of many milestones you will achieve, I'm sure.

[@victorgreen2758]

This is the best show on You Tube by far. Have learned so much about the ins and out about pedals, guitars, and amps. I have been playing since I was 8 years old, I'm 54 now, and still learning. I look forward to Fridays and your show. Keep up the great work. My next gear purchase is going to be some of those T-shirts.

[@pekkarantanen2993]

TPS is my bedtime story almost every night you put a video on KZbin. You guys are amazing guitar players and like the sounds you get out from all the gear you test. So inspiring!!! Greetings from Finland (the land where real Santa lives) and hope you continue doing these videos for long time :)

[@ZigbertD]

I've been pl;aying 40+ years and I've learned so much from this show. Terrific resource and a lot of fun as well.

[@drewmello6462]

Thank you guys soooo much for EVERYTHING!!! I found you 3 yrs ago and have been delighted ever since!! I look forward to every Friday when I can put those headphones on and escape from the State's east coast off to Pedal Land! You guys are the best, and here's to the next 100K+!! 🎸🎸🎸

[@chrisdrake447]

Just back from two weeks hols, missing Eddy the Dog and TPS in almost equal measure, only to find the Joey AND the Behind-the-Scenes episodes waiting for me. Such a blast - almost didn't make it into work. Brilliant & infectious stuff, and my thanks and admiration goes out to everyone involved in TPS. Roll on the next several dozen episodes and the next 100k viewers and TPS on tour!

[@mikeroadblock]

It's so nice to see all of you! Thank you! Please keep up the great work everyone! Your show is SUCH a helpful tool to me and I'm sure a lot of nice people here.

[@marksieber8140]

Thanks so much, gents. I took a 25+ year hiatus from playing, and started up again three or so years ago to find a better focus on my playing, and then a whole new world of equipment. As an adult, I can afford some music toys, but spent the first couple of years in trial and (mostly) error. I found TPS about a year ago. Your body of work given me a completely new understanding of what is available--Mick, I have had more "oh my god I wish I'd found you sooner" moments than I can count. One of it's key values: it has helped me understand how to evaluate comments on the boards! For example, if I start reading about a pedal and the author doesn't mention what amp is being used--skip on. While there's a lot to watch, your curiosity, personal differences, interpersonal chemistry and enthusiasm are matched by your thoughtfulness. It keeps me wanting more. Now that I'm caught up, the new videos are the highlight of my week. Thank you!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Mark Sieber That's awesome Mark, thank you for sharing all of that. We appreciate that watching TPS can be quite the time-suck, but for anyone suitable interested and curious, hopefully the benefits are obvious. Thanks for your time and for the kind words! (Mick here)

[@thevernon48]

Congrats guys, it was always going to happen - best guitar show by a mile. Long live TPS!

[@CMGAGE]

Have said this already but watch the show every week, bought the D&M Drive which is beyond amazing and what you would expect from such a great collaboration. Your genuine love of the instrument, your vibe is obvious and there for all to see and enjoy...well done and thanks for everything I have learnt from you.

[@robbieredball]

Thank you so much for TPS, I've learnt so much and love listening to you talking and playing. I used to play in bands, but havent for years and I really missed all the chat/banter about gear. TPS is the perfect substitute thank you.

[@Swich_OFF]

Great show! It will be 4th year since I've started playing guitar, and I'm glad that I dont need to spend 20 years to learn something that I can learn watching few shows of TPS! Cheers from Russia!

[@Joaomota87]

That pedal show completes my day, i'm an audio engineer/guitar player and i actually couldn't say how much i've learned so far with you guys. Thank you!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+João Mota Awesome, thanks João!

[@willmcphaul6658]

The only KZbin show I watch. Always very well produced, entertaining, and informative.

[@jonathanbishop3391]

You inspired me to buy my first ever guitar pedal. I had always been a guitar straight in to the amp kind of player, stuck in a rut, going nowhere fast. You opened up a whole new world of possibilities, of new sounds and new ways to shape my playing. Because of your show I fell in love with making music. Thank you for all of your hard work. You have an amazing thing here and I wish you all the best for the future. Onwards and upwards. Cheers, Jon

[@jakeerbst4073]

I just want to thank you guys for taking the time to do all this work. I have learned so much from you and am really appreciative of your show.
