One Colour Pedalboard Challenge - That Pedal Show

Can we choose four pedals of a single colour to produce some themed tones?
Life too short for long KZbin videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Welcome to the show! Yes, we know other channels have done this exact format, but hey, lots of people were asking us for it and after the buffers bore-athon last week we really needed some levity around here.
So here it is: we both choose a colour at random and have to assemble a pedalboard containing four pedals of that colour. We then need to come up with a stylistic / musical genre theme and see what happens next. Comfort Zone smashed once again. Some great tones today…
Enjoy the episode!

Dan: Can design potentially the most complex footswitcher on the planet, making mere mortals cry at how overwhelming it is (reference: all the G3 vids from yesterday) Also Dan: Can't work out the RC10 and shouts stop at it 12:20

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hahaha. I thought that too. Mick here. It is confounding that thing though.

[@hammyjammies]

[@aaaargl]

[@VikCain]

Black, 4 boss metal zones. Done.

with a RAT for clean tones.

[@samringwald]

@@Fidtz Gotta love the spanky cleans of the RAT. Also, the G2 is technically black, so those Metal Zones can be in series, etc. Lots of tonal choice.

[@SomeJustice19k]

The MXR EVH pedal should also be added. That thing is fucking awesome.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

Mike Justice nope, just boss metal zones

[@samringwald]

@@Paul-dw2cl Mike doesn't understand that anything not a Metal Zone adds to the impurity of your tone and makes you less metal.

That poor Jem is gonna need a ton of personal therapy and counselling if it ever gets rescued and put in a caring environment (i:e my room next to my purple pete tele) It just needs some attention and to feel needed.

Today on That Pedal Show: Ketchup vs Mustard. Which tone is best for your hamburger?

If hamburger is to humbucker as hotdog is to single coil never put ketchup on your Stratocaster. Hope this was helpful, no seriously though you made me lmfao

[@mikeroberts817]

Absolutely. Incredible tones from Dan here. Also much respect to his musicianship - really enjoyed lots of his playing today.

[@djay6651]

The Looping Doom rig was putting out some truly brutal sounds and is more of a sound I'd go for. However, the Soundtrack Surfy was also a great sounding rig. The Fender amp is awesome.

[@ericcarpenter3263]

Dan “Doom Looper” Steinhart may have just created a genre of music. The original is always the best. Love you Mick but hard to pass up what Dan just did as a win.

[@ThatPedalShow]

But of course! Mick here. :0)

[@67er_matze97]

indeed, Dan has definitely pulled some stellar sounds out of his red board. But for me Mick makes the extra point for maybe subconsciously choosing the JHS charlie BROWN which is named that way to honour the BROWN sound of Eddie Van Halen who just left us a few days ago as we all know !!!

[@TheCodeMonk]

@@67er_matze97 To be fair, the toilet inducing comment @29:05 may be technically more "brown sound" than the charlie brown haha!

[@ericcarpenter3263]

TheCodeMonk the “throw me a freaking bone, all I’ve done is gone to the toilet” may be in my top 3 things Mick has ever said. I’m literally laughing right now just thinking about it.

[@mkcclub]

Hi, Malcolm here. Top show this week. I really like these “voyage of discovery “ shows. They’re a laugh, something different and the learning curve is pretty steep without being dry. Learning through play, love it. Nobody does toilet jokes like musicians. Keep up the good work 😎🎵🎶👍

After Dan saying Red by King Crimson was the heaviest song in the world, I was really hoping we'd get a very conceptual board. The looper is red, there are loads of red Buzzarounds, PitchFactor, and any red delay and reverb. EOB strat has the sustainer, and white technically is all of the colours including red. Done!

So good to see you guys having fun making music/noise. Perhaps the limited rigs (and maybe the yellow tape), helped take things a little less seriously .

[@GitShiddy]

Can't believe it but, that Gretsch is the best solidbody singlecut this side of a Telecaster. What a huge sounding thing. Through BOTH rigs.

[@hadscmb]

I love that Gretsch but I was hoping for the Dan’s Nik Huber Kraut. It’s been a long time since it has been on the show.

[@joeroy9524]

i thought it is a semihollow chambered body

[@GitShiddy]

@@joeroy9524 At least 50% of Les Pauls are chambered/weight relieved (aka chamber just without sonic intent.) And chambering is a far cry different than a semihollow in construction.

[@davidburke2132]

@@GitShiddy naaah!! We could debate the definitions of “weight relief” vs “chambering” till the cows come home. What is true is that a fair number of Les Pauls made by Gibson USA over the last decade and a half have been weight relieved (they introduced weight relief in 2006 by most accounts) but in the total production of Les Pauls (remembering it’s been in continuous production now for well over half a century) nowhere near 50% of them have been weight relieved. The Jet models by Gretsch, conversely, have always been chambered (true chambering, not just a few holes here and there for weight relief) from the beginning even though Gretsch chooses to call them solid body guitars.

[@caught.in.throes]

Doom and Sunno))) references on TPS! Love it! It'd be great to get some more heavy artists on!

[@subrosablues]

Diamond Compressor; set comp to lowest setting, EQ to 2 o'clock, volume to 1-2 o'clock - been an always on tone shaper for me for over 10 years. That tilt-EQ is a secret weapon for sure, and really handy for balancing pickup EQ on-the-fly between guitars.

[@stevengarvey5782]

"Flush button" reminds me of a conversation with someone at Earthquaker Devices long ago where he said he was building a pedal to replicate the sound of his mother's front loading clothes washer. "It chugs along and when you hit the button it goes into spin cycle."

[@EzzRidesBikes]

These challenge shows are always so much fun. Great stuff guys. A solo artist doom metal track must appear on any upcoming TPS album.

[@banjobones4190]

Two things jumped out at me from watching this episode. The first is that with the insanely vast array of options there is out there, using color (or any other arbitrary filter, like, pedals with just two knobs)) as a means to make the field of options more manageable is not as insane an idea as I would have thought. The other thing that jumped out at me is that you guys are not just music and equipment gurus, but in the process you have managed to become great entertainers. It is downright fun and funny to watch the show, while the whole time being educated and informed about technical topics. Brilliant! truly brilliant...

[@tomfairbairn1202]

Solo Artist Looping Doom is the theme of 2020 i think

[@jonathanbishop6996]

"Gaffmaster" made my day :-)

[@noyd4172]

I think this produced my favorite tones and playing from Dan, but that might just be my lifelong post-rock addiction talking. Only things I might have changed in his shoes would be cheating a little bit and using the JAM Delay Llama Supreme in place of the White Whale, and maybe taking a clean-only approach with the Dyna Comp instead of the Suhr (although the Suhr really impressed me).
