In this video Daniel and Mick explore some basic concepts around getting a better solo tone.
What is a better solo tone? Obviously it’s an extremely subjective topic once you bring personal likes/dislikes into play, but the one thing on which we can all surely agree is that as a very basic start point, a good solo tone begins with ‘one that can be heard’.
By contrast a ‘bad’ solo tone is one that can’t be heard, and there are many of us who have been in that situation where you step on the next pedal to make your tone soar… only to find that it just crashes! That is where we begin.
Throughout the video we touch on the areas of gain, EQ and relative wetness of your effects in the context of being heard for that all important solo.
Interesting points of go-to bits

• Angry Charlie after Carpe Diem: 19:27
• Zen Drive and mid frequencies: 23:00

• Reverb basics and solo tones: 38:08
• Compression and clean tones: 40:42

[@t-boog2173]

I had trouble being heard in my band. So, I fired my rhythm guitarist & keyboard player and now I shine like the sun. Hell Yeah!

[@ThatPedalShow]

This is the way to do it.

[@t-boog2173]

@@ThatPedalShow Cheers guys 🍻 & Thanks for all the hard work y'all do to make these videos. It's very appreciated. 👏

[@Hawthorneeffect1]

My wife ordered that pedal show t-shirt this week for me for my birthday because I watch your videos every week. I've learned so much from them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with everyone. The best KZbin channel by far

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Keith Williams ah, cheers Keith. Happy birthday from Mick and me :)

[@xaj1543]

davegetsspam You tried to be funny and failed miserably. Before he said he had learned a lot from them, he referred to the videos, so your, “joke” is not only not funny but completely out of place and irrelevant.

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

I'm totally addicted to this show. I find myself watching your episodes multiple times. Seriously, you guys rule. Amazing knowledge and playing. Y'all have inspired me to re-tool my board and upgrade some effects as well as dropped all sorts of stomp box goodness into my brain.

[@ThatPedalShow]

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Daniel Bertola thanks Daniel :)

[@chefcraigorrell9057]

I am absolutely addicted to watching your videos. The best and most informative gear videos on KZbin hands down, not to mention incredibly entertaining. Keep up the good work guys.

[@41DegreesSouth]

Loved hearing you guys jamming together a bit more in this one! The pleasure you get from playing shines through, and makes it a joy to watch :) The dream is real boys.

[@MrBingping]

I do have one very big problem with you show though...the effect it has on my wallet. I've gone from 5 pedals to 10 pedals and a roland tape echo since I've started watching. I've just fallen victim once again after re-watching your strymon deco review and ordered one. Damn you! Lol

[@iammurphy]

How you gettin on with the deco?

[@MrBingping]

+Iam Murphy well I'm still learning how to use it, but it's awesome so far

[@toddhess4258]

I agree 100%

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

You sir, got a Roland Tape Echo AND a Deco ? AND you're complaining? Please share your misery with me, I'll pay the postage.

[@brianbuchna9375]

Best Show on KZbin. Ever.

[@ianamsden3106]

You guys have too much fun jamming together. It is completely infectious and this was one of the most enlightening and rich in learning episodes I have seen as a play at home guy. Thank-you

[@jowelmoisesubana7572]

keep the videos coming guys! your passion for guitar really shows through this show.

[@timothyengel3446]

You guys need to try to get Pete Thorn on your show.He is so much like Dan in the way he understands the technical side of how pedals work .... it would be so interesting to listen to the both of them talk about pedals and how they work.

[@DoomedDawn]

That would be great. A fan of Pete here also.

[@danielzechim5552]

Up

[@thebasinker]

I have recently being playing an EP booster into the Tumnus into the Tube Screamer mini and it sounds awesome!

[@pogchamp7983]

I work completely in the box but you guys have taught me so much, like how rhythm and lead prefer different frequencies and levels of gain. Amazing channel and highly under rated!

[@NickMass35]

Thank you so much for the reply and might I add that I really enjoy your show. I get very joyful when I see a new episode. Thanks guys.

[@robmlisanti]

I have to say I really dont have many pedals anymore, I own a few ( Strymon DIG and Blue Sky ) I do own Pod Go now and a few Wah Wahs, I use alot of amp sims and plugins since i dont have alot of room but I love your show and the chemistry you guys have!

[@davidkolb6807]

yall should do a a show making the ultimate pedal board that can do good ambient stuff and good drive stuff but with as small of a budget as possible.

[@dwrdyts]

You guys are my favorite KZbin channel right now! I really enjoy the content and you're playing as well!

[@MetalTerrorist]

You guys are awesome. Incredibly entertaining and educational. Thank you for sharing the wisdom.

[@ZDALI14]

Really hope you can do a video on micing techniques using sm57s or more regular people mics

[@setra23]

I'd say the SM57 is a "regular people" mic. It's £85, that's not a lot of money for an industry standard microphone. Check out Spectre Sound Studios on micing techniques. Glenn can be a bit blunt but he knows what he's talking about.

[@ZDALI14]

+setra23 spectre sounds is great. He's from around my town

[@KristofferG]

Dan O'Moore sm58s are directional like the 57s, only difference is the pop shield, which makes it a bit more suitable for vocals.

[@claytonmurrayguitar]

@@KristofferG And you can take the pop shield off to make it way closer to a 57. So people say it's essentially a 57 when you take it off.

[@traceycarpenter385]

Nice show fellas all great recommendations. I was shocked about not including clean boosts or compressors as a tool for overdrive solos. I was really hoping to hear the Cali76 as a boost after the carpe diam or angry charlie. Just a suggestion I think it would sound awesome as a lead tone. I use my Barber Tone Press for this purpose after my Small Fry I have a suspicion that the 76 after the Carpe or Charlie would be fantastic. So curious.

[@JASP1010]

Enjoying hearing you guys playing together more, You help tons.!! Thanks

[@PyreFriend]

the jam around 43 minutes is just absolutely beautiful. I had to fight back tears, it was that emotional!

[@DanielSchim]

I would love a "Better rhythm tones for everyone"

[@lamonet]

Leave it to your amp and playing style.

[@lilsponge777]

Andy Timmons on That Pedal Show Please :). Some great tips and tricks in here lads. Thanks heaps.

[@Penryhigginbottom]

Cheers guys, I really enjoyed this video. Keep 'em coming!

[@stephen9944]

TC Spark is such a great pedal for kicking up solo time. Even the mini does something more than just add volume. Great video as always lads

[@fiipedc]

34:19, best "Woot" in the history of KZbin

[@raytorvalds3699]

That was a : What ?!? . But I agree.

Your videos are just fantastic. Thanks to you both my tone improved dramatically!

[@SurfingAli3n]

one of the best episode ever... thank you guys, such a huge inspiration and help!

[@TonyoPet]

GREAT episode... thanks boys! Show idea: "Magic out of Junk" You're always playing VERY nice stuff with VERY expensive guitars... could you do a show where you're only allowed to use equipment totaling $1000 and make it sound the best you can? It would be great also if in this show you walked us thru your process of getting it to sound great - starting from guitar knobs dimed, and amp and pedal knobs at noon.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Tony Peterson another challenge :)

[@lars4738]

Best solo tone tip: play rythm with the guitars volume control on 8 and solo on 10

[@mariussauer892]

Lars Sig i always run a Fuzz face (germanium) on with my Guitar Volume turned to bout 4-5 for my slightly crunched dynamic clean Tone and Controll my overdrive/Fuzz leval thru the Guitar volume... if i need it at certain Toneleval louder i Hit a cleanboost pedal so the Fuzz level doesnt change

[@Caged63Man]

Maybe that'll work on your own but that never works in a full band jam...ever!

[@lamonet]

Not enough vol to cut through drums, bass, keyboards and another guitarrist.

[@lamonet]

@@Caged63Man exactly.

[@BlakeHallMusic]

What a great comprehensive overview of how to approach lead sounds. I have been playing for over 20 years and it was nice to be reintroduced to some of these concepts. Cheers guys!

[@AlexFlannagan]

Having the little jams, so awesome. Definitely more of both of you playing together at the same time 👍

[@joequintana5546]

Interesting observation I've made over the last 34 years of playing in bands. The mid boosting, in my opinion, is more effective in bigger bands with a rhythm guitar player and a keyboard. However, in a trio setup, (bass, drums, and guitar), the mid boosting didn't give me such favorable results. It made the whole band sound weak and thin during the solos. I always found it necessary to slightly boost the mids, but I also had to boost the lows too. Otherwise I would get lost in the mix. Am I alone with this opinion? What do you guys think? The difference between playing in a trio as opposed to being in a bigger band.

[@joequintana5546]

By the way, most of the time I play without effects. On very special occasions I'll add a wah and an analog delay which I'll only activate for solos. And I set it to where you barely hear it.

[@Slears]

I need more gain for my solos...I really do...cause Distortion hides mistakes..lol

[@JohnnoDorber]

I love watching your show guys. You have fun, I have fun, and I get to learn a few things along the way. Great tips.

[@Bmcarroll1]

I learned a lot as I often do! Thanks a bunch! I look forward to starting my weekends with a new episode!

[@marcusmartin-human]

Is the Zendrive and the Tube Screamer to alike to pair them together?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+marcus martin Not at all - they can be very very different. Cheers!

[@marcusmartin-human]

Cool, thanks for the reply.

[@GavinMcLeod]

My fulltone fulldrive 3 solved all of my soloing issues.

[@pjlenny22]

What settings do you use? I have a Fulldrive 3 too and thought it would make a great solo boost. Do you use the main over drive and kick the boost in for solos? Or set up both to use as 2 different sounding boosts for solos?

[@zaqintosh]

I've got one too and can get some decent sounds out of it. Can I ask how you set it and use it for rhythm versus lead? Do you use the 90s mode toggle or the asym wide mode?

[@GavinMcLeod]

+pjlenny22 for solos I'll kick in the boost side set to about 9 o'clock. It's got a ton of headroom and I find if you use it with another od pedal you can get some great tones. The left side I use in the wide mode for some squishy rhythm tones and I'll use comp cut for a more crunchy boost. Hopefully this helps!

[@GavinMcLeod]

+zaqintosh I stick to the wide mode for rhythm and light lead and I'll kick in the boost side if I need a volume bump for a solo.

[@zaqintosh]

+Gavin McLeod makes sense! Are you using the boost in front of the gain stage or after on the fulldrive? (Cool that it even lets you toggle that!)

[@stevenpricehereford]

This is one of the most important videos you've done. Seen so many guitarists who are the same volume during their solos as the rhythm player 😩

[@m.lecompte9099]

How great was this episode! A-maziing! I can watch it again and again. Cheers guys!

[@Steveisnothereanymore]

what do you guys think about the modern modeling or profiling equipment, like kemper or positive grid? I would like to see you demo this stuff and comment it in your unique, funny and informative way

[@adamlombardo7550]

Thank guys so much for helping me understand how to use this stuff! I've been playing for a while and wish I had advice like this 20 years ago. I may not have the exact same set up you guys, but I try my best to apply what you show to my rig with what I have and I have noticed a considerable improvement...even my band mates have noticed. It may have taken me me a while but like Dan said "it's the one moment where you can stand up and be counted and be heard" and all the little things you talked about have worked for me! I really enjoy your show I always look forward to a new one every week. if you get the chance please check out my band on Facebook at thembonesli PS....P-90s rule!

+Adam Lombardo That's great to hear Adam, nice one! That's what we're here for at the end of the day, just to help us all move in the direction we want to go. We're stoked that the show is useful for you. Great to have you on board!

[@adamlombardo7550]

That Pedal Show During a NAMM video with the Andertons channel Dan mentioned with the Captain that you would be doing a show on how the "old" amps and pedals worked with each other...kind of a total vintage recreation if you will. I always wondered how Hendrix and Gilmore had live rigs that actually worked and we're somewhat reliable...is that show coming down the pike?

[@777Yoni]

That was much more informative than I thought it would be. Apologies and thank you! Love this channel.

[@keithm8650]

20:55 - the greatest lesson I have ever learned on TPS. The fact that you can have a glorious sound in a vacuum of a single instrument / rig. But when in the presence of the dynamic of a band that sound is lost. That was an amazing revelation. When the instrument /rig is using nearly the entire audio spectrum in a bedroom sound, you can't cut through the mix of those other frequencies in a live band setting. ( search - Interactive Frequency Chart). Thank you TPS. This is a Master Class!

[@ralvknights]

Last week episode was fun and great, This one was a learning/fun/great experience. Thanks for showing the differences in sound and being honest in giving your insights about each pedal and perception on the use for each, that is what sets apart That Pedal Show in my opinion. This show is a dream come true about tone and learning more about great gear. I need to go into hyper space hibernation and wake up only for next Friday.

[@dewinchy]

Very good video, thanks for the explanations... made it much clearer to me.

[@JoaoGomesYYZ]

After watching once again, the tip from Daniel regarding the tone is amazing. Therefore in order to properly boost for solos I may be searching for a compressor that I may change the tone, just as Daniel said, reducing the low end and focusing on mids and a little treble for solos. Amazing how the beautiful rhythm tone sounded muddy and obscure when only boosted on volume. But after changing the tone it really combined and pronounced better the lead guitar without a need to increase the volume too much. I liked that. Great tips guys. GREAT tips. Keep it up!! Cheers from Brazil

[@cyrusfontaine2598]

Super practical info in this one. Thanks guys!

[@jeffw82]

One of the best videos you guys have done, congrats. I always find myself opening up a vid, intending to watch for just a short period, skipping around, but often get sucked in and watch the whole video. If it isn't beating a dead horse yet, and you guys are wanting to do more gain staging focused, I'd love to see ones about compressor/od/boost placement (comp pre or post od?, how boost interact with comps, doubling up comps, etc.), or good use for speaker attenuators and comparison of popular/quality models (even though they are not really pedals). Thanks for the time, energy, and compassion you guys put into this, it's much appreciated.

[@jeffw82]

Doh, just came across the "Clean Boost, Compressor, Treble Boost and Overdrive: What Order?" on the old YT channel, exactly what I was looking for! Though, you mentioned in another show about using a boost in the loop to drive the power amp, pairing that up with attenuators could make for an interesting show. Thanks again.
