That Pedal Show - We Visit AnalogMan HQ In The USA

[@oansun]

Watching in 2020 for the 15th time. Greatest episode

[@RandyRugarMusic]

Haha me too!

[@johncruz9357]

Also guilty!!!

[@jakesdaddy08]

Me too in 2021

[@ScottsGuitar]

Just found it, first watch!

[@stanislavmigra]

2023 hello

[@Amish_Trivedi]

People who got on the list after seeing this episode have not yet made it to the top of the list for KoT :)

[@ritchpercival8847]

Can't spell AnalogMan without Anal. Talk about a well organized and well run business. It's refreshing to see someone that cares this much about what he does and takes so much pride in it.

[@skypekai]

Ritch Percival i love anal

[@ripplebear]

@@skypekai I'm sure you love taking it! 😂

[@Ferbocarbo]

Haw about Anal Log Man? Uuff

[@archiviloria]

It's so nice to see Dan wearing a Keeley shirt while Mike is wearing his Analogman shirt. I can't imagen someone visiting the Gibson factory wearing a Fender shirt.

[@aznsensation44]

pedal builders generally have mutual respect for each other. MXR even has a guest program where Jeorge Tripps (of Way Huge) invited Analog Mike to create the MXR Duke of Tone. pedal builders collaborate sometimes. You won't find this in the guitar world. Fender / Gretsch will never collaborate with Gibson on anything.

[@OriginEffectsUK]

I'm looking forward to watching this one - love checking out another pedal builders' offices!

[@capodastaro]

The Cali 76 Compact Deluxe, is the best compressor pedal I've ever owned #justsaying

[@manifestgtr]

You guys should give me a cali. I know there are a lot of starving kids out there, war, disease, political strife and they made 4 high school musicals but i think this takes precedent over all that.

[@ChinchillupaGuy]

+Origin Effects Funny story for ya. About a month ago, I bought a limited edition big box cali76 std for retail price. You guys probably know that your big box comps are reselling for an arm and a leg, but some store in california was moving inventory and noticed they had one on the shelf that wasn't posted on reverb! Serial number R6 lol I bought the pedal 8 minutes after it was posted, I believe. And side note, I literally sh*t myself when I saw the post, but it's okay because I was on my bathroom break at work... so crisis averted.

[@rudytrimarco5623]

There's something quite special about seeing dedicated focus paired with zero arrogance, resulting in a first class product in a very honest setting. Hats off to Mike and The AnalogMan Team.

[@avgjoegat8126]

Watched this back then, added myself to the KOT waitlist 6 years later I got the invite to place my order last night. I can’t wait!

[@npet6842]

The wait just kept stretching . At one time we were 9 months out ; then it was another 3 years . I got my email a couple of months back , but haven't acted yet as I have a KOT from back 2017 . I see there's a Mike's 911 colours available . That looks cool .

[@grahamkelly8299]

A beano and a prince of tone, and your ready to gig. Sounds awsome

[@mgscheue]

So fun! You should visit Earthquaker Devices, too.

[@arnyarny77]

ED is bad ass

[@skypekai]

mgscheue no

[@mgscheue]

William Bodie Well, I guess that’s definitive, then!

[@michaela9817]

At some point, Mike needs to open a museum! I also love how Mike closed his eyes while answering some of the questions. You could see his mind sorting through years of information and experiences. What a treasure of knowledge!

[@belo1971]

This man as a great tee-shirt !!! GILMOUR ACADEMY !!!

[@strings2wood]

What a lovely Pedal Show. How can you not love Mike when one of his first comments is about Chris Squire- 'Rest In Peace' with gentle warmth and sincerity. What a great story and what a fascinating person in his genuine humility for such incredible skill, vision and the joy and inspiration he has given while treating weekend warriors with the same respect as legends. I agree, his email replies have always been respectful, honest and as prompt as his precious time allows. Great show guys and long may Analogman's song go on.

[@Teleman76]

Mike Piera is a living legend. The man’s at the top of the game and rightfully so. I’ve played his pedals for about 20 years now and I have yet to play a bad one. Can’t say that for every company or builder. Long live the Analogone!

[@mikeplaysguitar36]

I love the work Mike does, and the pedals he built for Trey Anastasio have been such a huge part of his sound. I thank him for that!!

[@Fallowsun]

Analog Mike has such a great vibe. I have a bunch of their pedals and they are all excellent.

[@vadlasletta]

That envelope filter sounds amazing!

[@raelreal8598]

Mike is a great person, and he only makes the best.

[@sowhat5150]

I got on the KOT wait list after watching That Pedal Show. I can’t wait to get the pedal. Great to see behind the scenes and hear from the actual “Analog Man”.

[@gh991]

Well 3 years later, how is it? :D

[@JoshCMinecraft]

probably was still waiting at that point, I got on the list 7 days after this video came out, and just received my email for the order this past Monday. 4 years, 4 months, 10 days lol.

[@brandoncascio933]

This is absolutely epic. Thank you guys for allowing us mere mortals to get a first-hand look into stuff like this that we never would have a chance to otherwise. WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!!!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+B Cascio YES YOU ARE! That’s why we do this stuff. :0)

[@bigleemac]

Utterly brilliant, so great to see Mike in the flesh (So to speak!) please, please don't ever change Mr Analogman, seeing 1 guy make those KOT's and then seeing it on my board is worth every penny and every minute spent waiting.

[@andrebrito3816]

Amazing! I really could see exactly where/how my KOT is being made! You guys should win a medal of world guitar legacy !! It’s incredible to realize the effort you’re given to make all of us, anonymous guitar players all over the world, closer! Instructive, educative and the funniest guitar channel ever..not only sharing vital information but even more important sharing Inspiration! Thank you 🏅

[@thecomputergeeks3466]

Mike has been one of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure of emailing. I can't wait to see what magic box he builds for me.

[@cliftontorrence839]

Last summer I stopped in to visit the crew a while and was warmly received. Purchased the in store demo KOT (no long waiting period), and I've been thrilled with it ever since. Got a complimentary AM tie dye tee in blue just like Mike's, Dan's right, AM is a totally tripped out spot on our planet. Vortex of happiness. Everything's Hand Made, one at a time. Just the best. Thanks Guys !

[@GxBxN]

I’m re-watching this 4+ years after this was originally released, having just received my wonderful King of Tone after waiting 4 years on the waiting list, while also feeling a little nostalgic and sad with how much the world has changed since with COVID-19, masks, distancing, travel, etc.

[@pedalprescription]

King of Tone just arrived in the mail yesterday! Definitely worth the 1.5 year wait!

[@justingarcia7722]

Jake de Medeiros it’s the best isn’t it?

[@katherineseiss102]

Wow...really took 15 months to get it? Dang. I am sure its nice.

[@alexandregallant4241]

a HOW LONG wait?

[@justingarcia7722]

Alexandre Gallant do what I did. Throw your name up there, set and forget. You’ll still be playing guitar in a year or two, be surprised when your name pops up and there ya go!

[@randallmontgomery4147]

I was surprised when my name popped up this week. I can't wait for my KOT to arrive. Justin is right, throw it up there then forget it. :)

[@glencruciani]

I'm also fortunate to live within a few minutes of his shop. It was very cool to be able to make an appointment and go in to try out hos pedals in person. I think it is so cool that Dan and Mick made the long trek across the pond for this! Would have loved to have met them!

[@MrEhf111]

Agreed, I live nearby in RI ... a meet and greet would have been great.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Glen Cruciani We would love to do stuff like that, but this trip was super fast there and back. If we weren’t filming, we were driving, flying, sleeping or eating! :0) However, we’ve been overwhelmed at the general response to TPS in the USA, so we’re confident that North America is about to become a more frequent destination. Let’s organise some stuff! Thanks for watching.

[@chriskindler7625]

TOO PROUD to have at LEAST one of this man's great creations (King of Tone, in White/Gold with some options...love it!) GREAT VID and interview/tour/gear greatness!!!!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Chris Kindler cheers Chris :)

[@neuk01642]

And relax... all is well with the world once again... hey fellas, nice to see you!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+neuk01642 Hooray!

[@Tomsdrawings]

Morning: watching the first half of the show. Afternoon: finally getting on the train to the nearest KoT. Evening: playing playing playing. Finishing off with the last part of the show. All of this while waiting for my TPS t-shirts shipment, mostly for supporting your show and thus assuring your journalistic independence. Cheers guys! Love it. Thank you so much.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Tomsdrawings ah, what a great post. Cheers Tom, that’s awesome :)

[@elixir9659]

When I got my King of Tone, I stopped searching for overdrives. For a while that is. 5 years later, I still haven't tried an overdrive that is better to my ears. Like Queen, It's a kind of magic.

[@gregorystone768]

Hands, head, and heart. Truly a work of art.

[@wajobu]

Thanks guys! Always fun to run into Analogman at shows too--he's EVERYWHERE!

[@alexwong7]

Genuinely fascinated to see where my KOT and Bi-Comprosser came from. Brilliant. Thanks!

[@williamsmothers8830]

When I studied electronics many moon ago, what Mike and his crew are doing is what I envisioned. Alas, I am an industrial electrician. I will be watching this episode more than once.

[@ScottfromBaltimore]

Wish I played and had shows and stuff so that pedals would be tools, not merely the toys they are to me now. Nice to see chops I don't have played through pedals I don't have. I'm glad just knowing they're out there.

[@paraguitarmedic]

Sunlion, ARDX20, Phase 90 MOD, Beano Boost, KoT owner here NERDING out watching this! Cheers, boys! Another classic episode!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Joel Dugger That’s the good stuff right there Joel!

[@stevendobias2960]

So awesome getting to meet Analog Mike! Amazing episode - one to watch several times.

[@danielroberts9579]

Wow! Just Wow! I've been waiting 2 years on the list for my King Of Tone. Amazing to see them being built. The lore! Thanks!

[@QPRlg04]

Daniel Roberts you might want to check the waiting list, 2 years is longer then most people have had to wait. If there shipping pedals ordered after you just give them an email and they will make yours.

[@danielroberts9579]

I just checked my email history. My request was dated 5/2016 so really only 1.5 years. I wasn't complaining though. Base on their website I might be hearing from them in 2 months. :)

[@YVIL65]

Awesome guys, I just received my order confirmation for my KOT 2 days ago, and now, your video comes up !!! Perfect timing !!! But now I want a Beano Booster ... :)

[@andrebrito3816]

I had a chance to try it! Analogman is most probably the best pedal maker when it comes to drive however i’ve put an EP booster next to a beano booster and the EP won big time! Strat/paulie into DRREI and ac15

[@lloydland]

I agree. I own several of his pedals and I have spoken to him multiple times and he has always been great. Thanks Mike!

[@Snowy0123]

The sexiest man alive behind the camera? Hair like that deserves to be in front of the camera. ..on a side note I think you just blew up the waiting list for analogman pedals.

[@kierenmoore3236]

Mick ... how many YT accounts do you have?!!!

[@Snowy0123]

Kieren Moore a few. ..lol

[@proc007]

Awesome! Can't wait for part 2!

[@passionplayer7]

So glad you guys were able to show us the world of Analogman and how they operate. Amazing stuff! Very happy this is a two-parter as well!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Barry Provost Cheers Barry! It was a pleasure and an education being there. :0)

[@trushack]

Love Analogman's stuff. My SunFace is a treasure.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+trushack Dan here, mine is too

[@MajoPedal]

This is the great episode on TPS channl, couple of mysteries for builder or player have also been answered by the master Mike, I'm really enjoy it, thanks for the great job.

[@RequiemDead]

The pride of all gearheads (such as myself) here in CT! Awesome video once again, gents!

[@otaviofernandes692]

Great video!!! Great idea talk to masters... Mike Analog.man, Keeley ... and others ... who knows guys as M.Fuller, B.Wampler, ZvexMna...and many others... Congratulations! Pedal Show is one of the best of all time!!!

[@irad50]

this is the best TPS Episode ever!

[@pclindholm]

This video was tons of fun. Props to the DS1 as well, very cool that he is promoting such an old pedal -it sounds great with that mod.

[@jasonwilding6334]

DAN!!!! Those double stops are mental! I LOVE THEM!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jason Wilding ah, my stock country lick ;) cheers mate

[@jasonwilding6334]

Next time I come up, I'm going to get you to show me those!

[@SCOREWIZARDSMUSIC]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aghostofthenow7135]

An instant classic episode! Very enjoyable. Looking forward to the Sun Face feature. Have a BC109 version, that Mike suggested. Great fuzz! Cool guy Looking forward to my future King Of Tone, as well. Cheers Mates 🍻🍻

[@mudbone00000]

Man alive.... Mike's the coolest dude in CT, no question. Got a sunface coming soon and I could not be more excited. Gotta get that envelope filter next! Thanks again and again guys!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Marc Eaton yeah, Mike really is an amazing human

[@josephcotten4015]

This was such a joy to watch. Thank you guys for putting the time into this!

[@mariocontreras1911]

Amazing visit, thank you for that!

[@luckylicks3497]

Best episode of TPS, beautiful job!!!

[@garyhoffman1]

Add several years to Analogman’s wait list.... Thanks Dan and Mick.

[@vancecooper3541]

This video is magical. I've got an Analogman sunlion, and an old Analogman modded ts9 with the silver mod. Mike is doing something special over there! Top quality that you can hear.

[@marlonharvey278]

This an amazing experience with the anolog man . Really we need more of this .

[@SocksworthRiffs]

I'll admit, at first I was a little less excited than I should have been. After watching and listening, I've been enamored! Those 60fps moments were like butter for my eyes and ears. gorgeous and I can't wait for the next part!

[@destossel]

This is my favorite episode and I love D&M’s channel. I have bought many pedals from Analog Mike since 2003 and he has always been cool answering my many questions and getting me what I want. Getting to hear many of his pedals that I have not had the chance to buy is simply fantastic. That envelope filter and compressor.....wow.

[@MrKleaner]

Great show! I just got my KOT last month, after a year and a half wait! Mike is great answering emails and questions! It was so cool seeing his work shop and were my KOT was made! Thanks guys for the tour of Analogman's magic workshop. Mike is an amazing pedal maker and has great customer service!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Mike Klean cheers Mike, yep, he’s a legend

[@alphakittyofficial]

Fascinating from start to finish. Looking forward to Pt. 2. Thanks, guys!

[@h4ck.b0x75]

I’ve been waiting for this one. It seems like Mike is writing Thanks on the bottom of an invoice every couple weeks for me.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Scott West Lucky man! His stuff is soooo good.

[@h4ck.b0x75]

That Pedal Show It is AMAZING!! I wish luck was all it was, hard work is more like it. I was talking to him a couple months ago about getting a GigRig G2....he hasn’t gotten any in stock yet.

[@TheGoldenTuba]

Loving this!! Can't wait for part 2! And ohh...just bought the Boss DS-1 with mid range mod. Thanks That Pedal Show!!

[@RomainBigeardGuitar]

This is so cool. I have a few Analogman mods and they are generally my favorites. I bought my first piece of gear form Mike in 1995/1996 before Paypal and all this. I had to send a money transfer from France, it was all new and exciting.

[@thehound2161]

Nothing actually works, but don't let the dream die that one day i will get to all of them and fix them up. This is just what you tend to see with the tinkerer mentality. Such fun.

[@tweedguitar9103]

Thankyou Mike, Mick and Dan. cheers ( i'm speechless )

[@donnie422]

That pedal show was awesome. Thanks guys

[@samraymond3637]

“You can get very deep into the fuzz...”. Manna from heaven, this episode.

[@HamadaElMnsour]

Wow guys, thank you for bringing a face, that everybody should be familiar with, to the limelight!

[@AlbertoMartinezDelRio]

This keeps getting better and better ...

[@leohernandezcolonful]

One of my favorite builders! Thanks for the show.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Leonel Hernandez you’re very welcome :)

[@MudElite2000]

Wowww... and suddenly... i am just a child staring the Candy's Museum... AnalogMan is superMan...

[@mattier3030]

Mind officially blown, just by Mikes work ethic and the history of how he got to where he is, yes the collection is amazing as well, but the chips and values, the new old stock thinking…man…and the pedals all sound amaze balls! I feel like selling all my pedals just to buy a. Few AM pedals…ahahah

[@spotmfd9431]

This channel only keeps getting better. Love the visit to a top pedal maker

[@dannyinaus]

One of your best episodes. Great to hear from the makers. Time for you lads to pay a visit to Mr. Wampler

[@stagnatic]

Analog Mike: clearly, a gentleman and a scholar.

[@chrishepburn1503]

I have always loved AnalogMan, but now I love them even more. I'm going to order a Sun Bender right after I watch this video.

[@PMTluke]

Yeah that’s a nice filter man that pedal show always making my wish list longer !

[@ThatPedalShow]

+PMTluke yep, sure is :)

[@PedalScience]

QUALITY VIEWING! THANK YOU DAN AND MICK!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+7thString you’re welcome ;)

[@mariocaceresg]

Awesome show! Can't wait to see what the fuzz is all about!

[@PaisleyWilde]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! I have been waiting for this one. Super duper cool.

[@JayTheLane]

Analogue Man seems such a humble decent human being. Such great pedals.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jay Lane he’s the best

[@johncoleman4986]

This explains the recent slow down in KoT production - I'm in the next batch and it's taking an extra week!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+John Coleman Haha! Bless him, Mike is like many committed business owners that we know - simply always working. He was super gracious with his time even though we were totally slowing him down!

[@johncoleman4986]

I'm not sure which I'm looking forward to more...the KoT or the Fuzz video! Thanks, guys! (P.S. TPS is the reason I'm on the waiting list in the first place)

[@powdermnky007]

Maybe you'll see your pedal on this episode :)

[@PMTluke]

Yeah man thanks for taking us into analog man world can’t wait for part 2

[@robbieredball]

great episode, Mike is the nicest man you could ever hope to deal with. I bought a shinei companion fuzz when I was a youngster and didn't understand why it sounded terrible through my 100w laney transistor combo, I just thought fuzz was terrible Now I'm using decent valve amps I cant believe how good my Analogman Sunface and Beano Boost pedals sound. I've learnt so much about amps and pedals from your brilliant show, thank you again!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+robbieredball ah, cheers Rob, you’re very welcome :)

[@EzyoMusic]

I was experimenting with my King of Tone today and I can definitely tell a lot of thought and care was put into that pedal. It's sounds open, detailed and huge. I love it. :D

[@Drzingo]

Humble guy this Analogman. Nice work Pedalmaniac's 😃

[@MrEhf111]

Now that was a great video ... AnalogMan's shop looks exactly as I hoped it would ... the lair of the genius! I live in RI ... 15 minutes from the CT border. Wish I new you guys were coming over. Should do more of this type video, well done.

[@MrGotem-gw2pv]

He’s got the same shirt Dave Gilmour wore back live in the 70s. Way cool.

[@ericgiribaldi1531]

Very cool video! I think Mike is a great dude, and I feel this is the first time we've really seen him doing videos like this. I absolutely love my King of Tone and have had some great mods from him too. One of my favorite pedals is my Hartman flanger, and ever since Hartman has stopped I feel we are in need of a really great Mistress clone. AMan in the clutch!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Eric Giribaldi You can join Dan in the list of people requesting that flanger Eric!

[@JohnShalamskas]

I think the issue with that is parts availability - the old delay chips are impossible to source now. Maybe a digital system can emulate a mistress.

[@josephpickard3108]

I got worried when there wasn't a Friday video... *puts down panic paper bag*

[@abramtreadwell722]

I got my 1st king of tone last week. A truly inspirational pedal.

[@andrewlock3480]

haha just started todays show, I'm a big fan so I hope you guys see the funny side. You know it's that pedal show when the knobs emerge haha. I didn't mean the guys. The intro, white knobs on the orange pedal haha. Love the show guys

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Andrew Lock Wahey!

[@johnmarquez333]

Awesome show! I've been looking forward to this one for a while. I had no idea AnalogMan was such a sweet guy. And that envelope filter sounded spectacular!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+John Marquez He really is. It was fascinating to get an insight into his world. Explains so much, in an entirely good way. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@ptrisonic]

Mike’s a great guy - I met him and picked up a SunFace at the old New York Amp Show (in Piscataway, NJ, natch) back when the blessed Frankenstrat2 was still alive. This were the days alright............... Pete.

[@ptrisonic]

Change “This” to Those”, of course.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+ptrisonic Mike’s the best, really honoured to have him on the show

[@EmilioConesa]

I received my King of Tone last week. Amaaazzzzing!

[@ishancooper]

LOVED the show guys!!! Mike is a deadset legend!!! Looking forward to Part 2 next week. 🤘🏼

[@trikladyland8838]

The email saying I was at the top of the list for ordering a KoT came yesterday (Really!) I was all set to order but thought I would check first to see if TPS had posted.. An hour later I now feel compelled to order something to keep the KoT company. That BiChorus looks very interesting. Thanks gentlemen, uncannily timely.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Trik Ladyland Hahaha!!! Enjoy that KOT, and the BiChorus is ace! They’re all ace in fact. Such a lot of integrity and music in those tones (for me, personally anyway - Mick here). :0)

[@trikladyland8838]

That Pedal Show, Cheers Mick :). And the Beano boost for my little Marshall Class 5. I don’t live too far from Bethel. It’s my duty to support the local economy right.
