That Pedal Show - Jeorge Tripps From Way Huge, MXR & Dunlop Visits TPS

Welcome to That Pedal Show! Please subscribe to our channel and visit our store www.thatpedalshowstore.com
Life too short for long KZbin videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
In this episode we welcome Mr Jeorge Tripps - founder of Way Huge, and director of product development for electronics across the Dunlop family of brands (that’s Dunlop, CryBaby, MXR and Way Huge). In addition to all the cool stuff that’s surfaced under those names (including the MXR Carbon Copy, Way Huge Aqua Puss and a whole bunch of other modern classics), Jeorge also did a stint at Line 6 where he was the product manager for the series of pedals that included the genre-changing DL4. Yes, the guy has some serious form!
In this video, we talk about all of the above and also get a look at a handful of new products for 2018 among the anecdotes and general TPS banter. It was an honour and pleasure to have Jeorge on the show - we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Please enjoy the video…

[@passionplayer7]

I think I could safely say every guest episode could be twice as long and it would still not seem long enough, thank you so much guys for having such a pedal design genius on the show!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Barry Provost ah, cheers mate, hope you’re great :)

[@fivewattworld]

An interview with one of the original "man behind the curtain" wizards from the pedal world. It's no surprise that I now realize that my pedal buying has often, unknowingly followed his career path. Thanks for this guys!

[@fivewattworld]

Oh and I hope you plan to spend some more time with the Sugar Drive in the future. Would love to see Mick take it for a spin next to a couple of other klones (him being so attached that big silver box of his.)

[@timchalmers1700]

I am soooo glad these episodes are still available! Incredible show !!! Many thanks to Jeorge Tripps for sharing his tinkering with the world of guitar pickers!

[@cliffmerrill8525]

Very sad.. I was actually watching this video when the news about Jim Dunlop passing away showed up in my Facebook feed. So long Jim Dunlop. You were truly a legend and a pioneer.

[@patrickcarroll1754]

This man is a legend.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Patrick Carroll total legend :)

[@ThePacifist1733]

Jeorge just seems like a really solid bloke

[@MarceloDurham]

Just like his pedals! ;)

[@marshallzane5351]

Instablaster.

[@andyreynolds5575]

Need to tell you guys this - I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years, I love 80’s Rock and SRV style blues, bigger than life guitarist are my hero’s, I’ve always had guitars with high output humbuckers and amps with plenty of gain although I don’t crank them, I still look for that tone. Anyway I’ve been watching you guys for about 18 months and you’ve taught me I’ve been doing it all wrongs lol this time 😉, so I’ve bought a telecaster because everytime I hear a sexy gorgeous guitar tone it’s a tele, and that red tele of Dan’s is the digs danglies! And I absolutely love it! So thanks guys for steering me in the right direction. I love your show, please just carry on doing it as it is, it’s perfect 🤘😎🤘

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Andy Reynolds ah, that’s amazing Andy, great to hear you’ve got so much out of the shows. Thanks so much :)

[@ginoames]

I think this is my favorite guest you've had on the show. Watching it again for the fourth or fifth time.

[@brianrodman1033]

Amazing to see Jeorge Tripps on here. Love all of his work. Just got to the bit about the Line 6 DL-4. Such a killer pedal and my choice for a looping device. Very intuitive as well as fun and creative to work with.

[@leftheavy.]

Been a HUGE fan of the Way Huge pedals for as long as I’ve been a pedal nerd, and was honestly a little hesitant to watch this (a “don’t meet your hero’s” kinda deal) but Jeorge seems like such a nice guy! Great gear, playing, questions, everything. Keep up the brilliant work! Excited to see the new digs!

[@benediktschlereth6070]

I love the Echo Puss. Best all around delay ever made! I don't know what it is but there's just something to the repeats thats just magic.

[@nonahyobusiness8063]

Mick - you have a beautiful connection with your Strat BUT that 335 is you, sir. You sound f'ing amazing on that guitar, man. It suits you very well.

[@jazzmasternovo]

Great stuff, thank you. The DL-4 was the pedal that brought me back to guitar after a 10 year hiatus. The sounds it made (mostly by others), also had/have a massive significance. A Carbon Copy remains on my board too! Liking the variety content of TPS recently!

[@MrDeaweber]

What an incredible education! Everytime I get to know a pedal builder through their videos I think "this guys so cool there can be no one else like him" and then I come across a different builder who's just as cool. All kinds of amazing personalities on KZbin under the category of guitar centric music = Brian Wampler, Josh Smith, George Tripps, Dan and Mick, Lee Anderton, Rick Beato and others have a hand in co-creating this new form of personalized entertainment on KZbin . Im spoiled and loving it. Many thank you's to all you guys = great show Dan and Mick!

[@mikeadams4605]

That was really good. I've been a fan of Way Huge for awhile and always enjoy hearing Jeorge talk about his pedals.

[@thunderrosa2258]

Dunlop should absolutely start selling Bag O' Fuzzfaces!

[@MJMac83]

I was wondering why he was so hesitant to play. Had never knew of him, I thought maybe he wasn’t a good guitar player or something. But no. He’s awesome. A pedal maker that’s a great player is inspiring. Thank you.

[@frenchfry1342]

Love seeing, this video came out 8 minutes ago! Great way to start the morning

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Way Cool Guy and a great conversation. I love these episodes with the designer/engineer people.

[@alexmoore7755]

I'm not a "delay guy" or big delay user, but the Carbon Copy is the greatest guitar stomp box in production. Amazing effect, can't say enough good things about it. Always on my board and always turned on, mainly set subtly. Perfect mod, perfect repeats, perfect amount the delay time, functions flawlessly, compact, takes a battery if you need it to... Sounds great for slapbacks, chicken pickin', big room sound... Nice, bright LEDs... Old faithful. I adore that echo box.

[@raytorvalds3699]

No need to be so shy about your playing, Jeorge. You sounded great !

[@RobFlaxMusic]

No kidding... "Just my stupid noodling" sounds better than 80% of guitarists out there.

[@michaelhorrocks8784]

My “Schwang” shirt arrived yesterday and it’s awesome. The sizing chart worked perfectly. Thanks guys. You’re the best!

[@jsalmons84]

So great to see Jorge making the rounds on KZbin. You guys did a great job. I can't wait to see you build a Fuzz Face. That should be a Tuesday show. Also, I was thinking running pedals at higher voltages might be a good theme for a show... Cheers!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+justin salmons yes, let’s build a fuzz face!

[@garystackhouse5787]

...aaaaand once again, teased just as I have to head off to work (9am in Eastern Canada, so I'll have to get a little taste at lunch, then finish after work!) Can't wait... always loved Jeorge's stuff!!

[@garystackhouse5787]

....it was, as always, TOTALLY worth the wait! Cheers guys... a brilliant show as always!!

[@jordandedomusic]

Jeorge is just the man, great episode! I loved when he describe his playing as "expensive chords"! I wish you would've gotten a bit deeper into the CC Deluxe though. I was surprised to hear that there are no presets, could've sworn Bryan Kehoe said it had em in one of the NAMM demos. I'll probably still pick one up since the original is still my favorite delay.

[@AlexTsaler]

This man pushes MXR forward! So many cool products last years!)

[@Albertgutierrez]

You guys did it!!!!! Jeorge Tripps YES!!!!! Congrat's!!!!!

[@satchomatic]

What a cool and humble guy, what a legend. Thanks for sharing.

[@zbqb84a]

Was great to hear Jeorge play... he was clearly reluctant but I really enjoyed listening to him. Thanks for giving hime the little nudge.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+zbqb84a he’s a fine player

[@TheHowardSinclair]

Yay, that moment around 58:35 where Dan lets his inner prog-fan free and cracks open the King Crimson riffage! Awesome :)

[@toddlogan9023]

Wow very cool. Very interesting! Love how genuine most of these guest are

[@memygtar]

Nice to get a backstory on George. So much I didn’t know! I got into buying boutique boxes mid 90s with the help of Total guitar pedal roundups and shootouts! Didn’t realise George was at the forefront !

[@randallmontgomery4147]

Ahhhhh, nothing like a hot cup of coffee and TPS on a Friday morning. Life is good.

[@erniesfo2022]

Jeorge Tripps is a sonic genius. On top of his work for Line6, he has had a hand in the development of some of my favorite all-time pedals: The Way Huge Aqua Puss (of course); Dunlop's Echoplex Delay (my favorite delay, and I have tried them all - the best EP3 pedal out these), and the MXR M300 Reverb - the best reverb pedal, period. Other's have more features etc, more advanced electronics, but others don't match it's sounds. Perhaps that's because Tripp's and MXR created it's sounds for the M300 from the ground up. The pedals sound beautiful. They just work.

[@palfrensis]

Another great show. Nice augmented chord at the beginning, Mick. I have a Swollen Pickle.

[@TheFlorent40]

So cool, so good!!! Thanks a lot for what you do, I just bought a tumnus deluxe because of you!!! Thanks you so much!!!

[@jesseyasaitis9036]

I have been waiting for this video for ages! Thanks you guys!

[@MrLoddebolten]

I love fridays! Thanks again for a great show. I feel educated and entertained!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Geirmund Sjødin you’re very welcome

[@nicklovering2749]

It’s Friday, it’s 12 o’clock, it’s That Pedal Show! Yeah 😀

[@MatoMisik]

Big fan of this guy! After watch this video I was realize I have to buy his Drive pedal. I own the original Maxon Sonic Distortion but this sounds much better. Always nice to listen his storyes behind the pedals etc. So, thank you for this video!

[@williamsmothers8830]

TGIF and TGITPS!! Great show, great sounds, great guys, great interview. As Dan would say, "Awesome!" Mr. Tripps is a cool dude.

[@JamesDavis551]

Really enjoyed watching this one! Always been a fan of Dunlop and Way Huge products but it’s really cool to see that they’re designed by such a cool guy as well. Definitely looking forward to seeing the results of the ‘Bag O Fuzz Face’! Great work as always guys, this really is the most informative and entertaining guitar nerd show around 🤓😎

[@Zuhlsmann1]

I was hoping you guys would do this video! Love Way Huge pedals!!!

[@imgonnagetbanned]

He seems like such a laid back guy to hang out with! That was great!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+imgonnagetbanned was such a fun day

[@Oris37]

Great show guys and Jeorge was a very interesting and funny fella. The hour and ten minutes just flew by... :-)

[@vodkamagic9966]

all Way Huge stuff is very very good, from the tight switch to the actual thick sound

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Mick Taylor, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Jeff Beck walk into a graduation photo...EPIC PHOTO!

[@ChiefMiddleFinger]

Something was very cool about this video. Maybe it was a slice of history or something. Very enjoyable !

[@jawzunful]

OMG this is Waaaaay Huge!! Thank you TPS and Jeorge!!!!!!!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+JasonS you’re most welcome

[@robertprice5039]

I rediscover the Red Llama. I have both the Reissue and the Anniversary Versions (The tone knob is nice for Fender Style Amps). It does what you wish a Range Master will do, except without the noise and the RI. My Havalina Fuzz is also another go to pedal, even though I have many other fuzzes. It's plays well with other pedals, which can be an issue with a lot of Fuzzs. and the controls actually work well.

[@davecarpenter2517]

I believe the Aqua Puss is what Gallagher uses to make the psychedelic sounds at the end of I Am The Walrus

[@Tcflohr]

I'm such a huge way huge (ha) and mxr fan. Awesome episode this week, great questions and really good honest down to earth discussions with Jeorge Tripps. Awesome.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Tim Flohr you’re most welcome Tim :)

[@AS__77]

Great seeing Jeorge talk about the great pedals he makes. Also, I know Rich Robinson also uses a couple different WH pedals. It's amazing how many well respected musicians use them. The Red Llama is my personal favorite.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Alex Shelton Dan here, I’ve got a RL clone I used for years, it’s amazing!

[@AS__77]

The Mythos Chupacabra is a fantastic RL style clone if you haven't played one yet. I actually live just a couple hours from Nashville where Zach makes them.

[@bigJohnnybabyboy]

Thanks for the great show! Awesome how Jeorge is there selling his pedals and is like "I'm not a big pedal guy", "I don't really use delay", "I don't like Klons" (while selling a klone!) etc. Classic. It's a shame he doesn't like to play on camera because he's a cool player. Way huge is my favorite pedal brand. For whatever reason they always fit my taste and style.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+bigJohnnybabyboy yeah, that’s hilarious. His gear works SO well for so many people. Really honoured to have Jeorge on the show

[@justinbouchard]

I sat through a Dior Sauvage ad with Johnny Depp. These tones better bet worth it..... Love from Canada ;)

[@braddietzmusic2429]

Tripps seems like a cool guy. Thanks for the insights, guys. Great episode.

[@paullee3660]

Love the sound of the Aquapuss delay. It's lovely and clear. Not muddy and blurry like some analog ones. (And not characterless digital sound either).

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Paul Lee yep, it’s lush

[@alexwalker5645]

While far from the most versatile, the aqua Puss is still to me the best at what it does and overall is the most pleasing delay I have ever played. Sounds SO good!!!

[@Robstafarian]

Mick, the bit about Henry Juszkiewicz had me screaming with laughter!

[@mrredritehand]

Very cool episode and his stuff sounds amazing

[@Neuri]

Nice one thanks guys 👊

[@hadin101]

That gibson zinger at the end... so good

[@kyle_brenn]

As an aside, according to the Carbon Copy Deluxe manual, you can have A & B presets and toggle them with an expression pedal, expression switch, or tap tempo switch. I just got one in the mail today, but haven't had a chance to test that out yet. So there kind of is a preset similar to how the Strymon delay pedals work.

[@GitShiddy]

Mick "I wanna talk about the Sugar Drive!" "Later." Later happens, Mick "I wanna talk about the Sugar Drive!" "Later." even more later happens, Mick "I wanna talk about the Sugar Drive!!!!!" "After my question." after the question, Dan "Alright guys hope you enjoyed that see you next week bye!" Mick grabs his Linus blanket with the Sugar Drive printed on it and walks out of the Pedal Shed as sad Charlie Brown music plays. ;-)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Sam Anderson hahahaha

[@jonathandaley9632]

That was the main pedal on the board I wanted to hear!! Haha! Poor Mick! I felt his pain

[@Pstaines439]

But not JHS angry Charlie music😜

[@MrDeaweber]

Yes, what you says. I wanted to hear about that pedal!

[@jordandangelo180]

I really wanted to hear about it too because it’s one of my favorite, if not my favorite, drive pedal. It really works for me because it can cover so many genres which a lot of really great overdrives cannot. I sold my Klon KTR, which was great, and kept the Sugar Drive. Per Rig Rundown, the blues phenom Christone “ Kingfish “ Ingram uses the Sugar Drive as his main and only drive pedal. It also stacks incredibly well with the KOT and other transparent style drive pedals.

[@guitarfreak585]

I coincidentally know the guy that does a lot of the artwork for Way Huge! He's got an incredible pedal collection!

[@DavidDyte1969]

Thank you so much for this one. Pedal hero! Now, if I could just persuade my wife that a Way Huge Drive is just what the house needs...

[@ThatPedalShow]

+David Dyte every house needs one David

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

I have the Way Huge Green Rhino and it’s my main drive pedal. I love it.

[@passionplayer7]

The Gospel of Mark Such magick from the Rhino, ive had mine for about 3-4 months and I cant get away from it! Can use it so many different ways, great design!

[@PatFlanigan]

Definitely getting my hands on a Carbon Copy Deluxe after seeing this!

[@dustincole3152]

Omg! The Jeff Beck graduation photo🙌🏼 I need the whole story Mick😂🤣

[@noisesoundtonevibe]

Every time I kick on my Echo-Puss, my bandmates look at me with wonder and lust... It is a really special delay, and I intend to buy another one. I get lost in it, every time. I tried to find Jeorge's contact to thank him for this wonderful design, but he is not a very public man, which I respect. It also makes this interview so much more valuable to me. THANK YOU for this! To be honest, I'm not done buying Way Huge pedals. I pretty much want them all.

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Great show guys. Very informative. Thanks heaps for what you do :)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Ruiseart Alcorn you’re most welcome :)

[@benspinks342]

Poor Mick, he looked desperate to look at the Sugar Drive at the end :-)

[@WhatsUpWhitey]

Such a cool guy! Can’t wait to see the video of your homemade Fuzzface!

[@Nicko30able]

I am glad to see pedal builders going to top loading cases. Fitting more on the board is a win for builder and buyer!

[@jonoftheford]

49:25 - There is a Mister Box strategically placed between Jeorge and Dan on the wall behind them!!! I can’t be the only one that noticed (didn’t bother to look through all the comments).

[@madisonbush1188]

I picked up a Carbon Copy Deluxe a month or so ago. I couldn't be happier. Such a great pedal! I've had an original Carbon Copy since around when they came out, and the Deluxe is an improvement on it in every way.

[@Pstaines439]

Love the Geisha. I had wrongly assumed they only make squeaky noises when played with.

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

Re-watching this episode for the umpteenth time and completely forgot you guys got the "Bag O' Fuzz Face" and now I'm jealous

[@lucianodebenedictis6014]

335 Mick best Mick! I think that guitar changed him in a good way

[@wgb01001]

Awesome little snippet of “Red” Dan!

[@garypoland5288]

WOW ... great show !!!!!!

[@oliver.cerezo]

Bet Jeorge is glad to be doing a video in a studio with some heating this time

[@ronnieo.6647]

Jeorge Tripps is awesome! Great episode!

[@overdrivemejimmy6847]

I just purchased a aqua puss and Im looking forward to taking it for a spin with my saucy box hcxD

[@HROD137]

There are times that I think, no need to get more pedals, then after seeing this, I want all the pedals on this episode.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+HROD137 us too :)

[@BV_Beve]

Another super cool show !! Jeorge is as awesome guy, loving the branch off to 'small huge' :) Great photo Mick wouldn't have been surprised if Arthur Dent had been stood at the other end.

[@MK-ig3ng]

Great guitar player, great pedal builder. It's safe to say Jeorge Tripps is a damn genius.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+R A he sure is

[@Adamhauk22]

Joerge Tripps is so important in the development of tone in the last 30 years.. so excited when I saw he was the guest today.. great show guys.. I’m assuming you’re using the Marshall n Fender but I don’t think you ever mentioned the amps today.. maybe I just didn’t catch it.. totally get it I would be bouncing off the walls if I got the chance to pick Joerge Tripp’s brain

[@ThatPedalShow]

Indeed Adam - info in the description, but yes, Super Reverb and the 1987x. Cheers!

[@mattd6725]

Mick you should think about putting some ox4's in that 335 like the ones Dan has in the Les Paul. Also Tyson Tone Lab makes some excellent paf style pickups as well I own some they sound amazing.

[@joserdiazalmodovar1898]

I tip my hat for those special gifted human beings that make the electric guitar effects pedals circuits people who actually were born to Rock and figure out all those circuits with all their electronic parts and made the electric guitar sounds and textures like Chorus, Time Effects, Overdrives, Phasers , Wah,s u name it ¡ God Bless em All for all those different textures .

[@musicmann1967]

I haven't really used chorus since the 80's, but this one really sounds great! Hmmm....

[@gcvrsa]

I was really hoping to hear some of the newer MXR overdrive pedals, like the Shinjuku, the Il Diavolo, etc.

[@geoffhensher7100]

Love the mxr pedals have about 5 of them .. the carbon copy deluxe on the list next.

[@bpdarragh]

Bang on time boys!!

[@christianvegh1138]

I'm surprised they didn't bring out the pork loin, that is imo the best Way Huge pedal.

[@Whodidthis12345]

Guys!! I love the show. Consider filming the ‘thanks to our preferred retailer and patreons’ bit once (thematically) and just inserting it in after a normal goodbye in the interview. I think it’s more tasteful when you have a guest.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Andrew Siegel yes but even our sign offs have tangents now. Don’t know, we’ll see

[@TheAdammoss]

Great video, as always, guys. I have a question. An MXR question. Also a fuzz question. It’s just one question. I have an MXR Sub Machine fuzz/octave pedal on my board. I love it. The only complaint is that when I engage it, the volume drops substantially. Clearly, this makes it difficult for gigging with unless I’m just using fuzz in the track and not using any of the other drive options on my board. The Sub Machine sits in my chain after my TC Electronic Spark boost deal and three overdrive pedals - Fulltone Plimsoul, TC Electronic MojoMojo (a criminally under-rated overdrive - ask Paul Gilbert) and the ToneCity Bad Horse (Klon clone). I’m guessing the placement in the chain might be responsible for the volume drop. Any light you can shed on this would be much appreciated, however. Cheers. Oh...I’m using an American Special Strat HSS

[@davidcrossen2383]

Slightly off topic request. Please guys do a rig rundown with Alex Hutchings when the Steven Wilson Band play at the Royal Albert Hall this week, just like you did with Steven and Dave Kilminster. Saw them in Glasgow on Saturday night - it was wonderful.

[@aaroncurtis4476]

Haha. I watched the whole thing in anticipation of the Sugar Drive.

[@vasostach666]

Red Llama is the best Way Huge pedal, it's simple, powerful, responsive and has a lot of character.
