Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone Guitar Rig Challenge: Dan vs Mick - That Pedal Show

[@spiltmilk615]

“I’m going to push you but still set you up to succeed.” We all need a friend like Dan.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Doing anything else is just dumb ass internet content. We think. :0)

[@spiltmilk615]

@@ThatPedalShow Also, because you really needed to read two comments from me today: As a huge Landau fan, I've always wanted to connect with the SD-9 but likewise have struggled. However, I recently picked up the XTS Tonic Distortion, which is a modded SD-9 with 3-band EQ on top. It's KILLER. Have you seen it?

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ah no, sounds way cool! Mike always sounds so much less fizzy than the SD9. Maybe it's his amazing touch and just being waaaaaaay loud that makes the fizz make sense. Hmmmmm

[@tonybrooks476]

This could just well be one of the best TPS eps ever. Cracking idea.

[@josephdubuc5482]

They could make this a series where they have to do something different each time and it would be really interesting.

[@mynameisAMRA]

Totally agree

[@janbornemisza934]

Indeed!!!

[@Superstacco]

Agreed, I think it's their best episode yet (and I don't think I've missed a single one since 2016!)

[@tonybrooks476]

Stacco Troncoso and that’s a lot of episodes.

[@jleerawkstar69]

I'm the person who never leaves comments on anything because I rarely see genuine humanity in action...people who care about each other and their success (especially on social media). Dan and Mick, you made choices based on your personal knowledge of each other and set each other up for success. Contrary to public tendencies, you made the show without competition. The results of your efforts and the effect of your show on me (and countless others) was profound. You didn't sell me on any products. You sold me on your character. Thank you.

[@terryeaster1]

Very well said!! I agree COMPLETELY!

[@Spreaders88]

'Octaves and Frequencies and Things' Definitely a t-shirt.

[@marcusthemonkey]

Apparently when Dan and Mick go outside their comfort zones they turn into Soundgarden? Well done!

[@RealEstateByLynch]

I think plenty of others thought the same thing haha sounded great though

[@marki7661]

My immediate thought as well when dan’s song starts playing

[@michael.wiegand]

Very Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc.

[@morphine0000]

That's so accurate it's not even funny. 90s grunge/metal ftw

[@Olliebear38]

Soundgarden are still cool lol

[@brianpara1407]

The homage to Slash and Dan’s analogy of getting spanked on a public beach - PRICELESS. Well done, Mick. Well done! 👍

[@DavidDyte1969]

Things I don't expect to hear on this channel: "The combine harvester just happened to be there."

[@BenFentem]

‘Yeah, I got a bit carried away.’ That’s the whole premise of TPS summed up in a short sentence right there! Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Bravo chaps

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you Ben!

[@MotoBennyPNW]

@@ThatPedalShow any way I could get the tabs for the lick Mick plays at 31:39? the that melody just speaks to me, but since I am still pretty new as a guitarist I haven't been able to find it by ear.

Mick’s video needs to be posted as a stand-alone so it doesn’t get lost and forgotten in a long but absolutely brilliant episode

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thanks Miguel. This will sound weird, but I just don’t want the Internet hate for something I put some work into. Out of context it would get a tremendous amount of hate. Sad days we live in. Thank you for the kind words!

[@davidjonpeckinpaugh9295]

[@chrisptessier]

Can you guys please post these two - as well as your other "stand alone" as separate playlists, so I can go right to them and listen in my car? Thanks!

[@diegoencina9966]

I totally agree with Miguel. I rewind the video many times only for see again the songs. Awesome!

[@NJSmithMusic]

Mick!! Post it! Put it on Spotify. Make a whole ep of funk bluesy doom and get Ariel or Joey to do trade vocals with you. Would be freaking epic!!!!

[@DanEtch]

Mick: “Yeah, I got a bit carried away...” We’ve all been there mate. Incredible.

[@mlusiak]

I love every bit of that video, but the most how respectful of each other you were. To challenge each other, but still "setting up each other for the win". Those music videos were pure gold. Reaction cam also added a lot of fun aspect. Hands down one of the best episodes ever.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you Michal.

[@bigJohnnybabyboy]

Dan: “I am going to take Mick out of his comfort zone.” Also Dan: gives Mick a Fender Strat and a deluxe reverb.

[@ThatPedalShow]

You are the first of doubtless very very many. :0)

[@edojacob7493]

Tnx for the spolier....

[@jer8525]

The EOB was a great choice for out of comfort zone in my opinion

[@whiskersb5296]

Deluxe reverb is much smaller and with lower headroom than mick usually plays.

[@jesseleite]

​@@whiskersb5296 Haha, I bought a Deluxe Reverb _FOR_ it's high headroom! Relative to my past amps of course 😂

[@ossiturunen9820]

In the world of amazing TPS shows, including all the mind blowing artists, this has to be one of the - if not THE - best shows. For the whole show I found myself sitting in front of my screen smiling like a child. I found this show to be so full of joy, happiness and good feeling (although I think something went into my eye during Mick’s video - only to later realise what the music video was about...). Thank you, Dan & Mick!

[@pmjosh]

Couldn't agree more and it's so needed given what's going on in the world. Thank you, Dan and Mick

[@stevem-h3562]

Looking back on this one a couple of years later. Bloody marvellous.

[@executioners_bong]

dan and mick this episode goes down as an instant classic. one of the greatest episodes you've ever done. not just because the results of the task/experiment were epic but because those of us who are regular viewers feel like we're your friends and you take us along for the ride, anticipating mick and the blooper, dan and the tweed amp, etc. thanks so much for your show, the invaluable tone lessons you've taught me and for the awesome fun along the way.

[@tonybrooks476]

Wow. Mick. Super profound. I mean that’s like a whole mental health journey in 3 minutes. Also classic Mick ‘I got a bit carried away’.

Thanks for everything guys

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you kindly Chris. That is a very humbling comment. Cheers!

[@forceuser9356]

Mick you are an astounding blues player, but your rock chops here are a revelation. I love your track and video. We are all rewarded when you “get a little carried away”.

@@ThatPedalShow It was pretty obvious, especially to those of us who have been there. Nonetheless it was also joyous, in a kind of 'was there but now I'm free' way.

TPS: I want to give him something out of his comfort zone, but not something he'll hate. Andertons: lol captain nine-string go djent

[@soundpropellerpatrick113]

Astounding! I have too many good things to say about this, but I'll try to keep this short. Insert all of the impressed, parentally inappropriate exclamations here... I am a longtime viewer and have been very impressed over the years, consistently inspired and, much like an essence of this video, creatively pushed by you guys, the show, the various approaches to subjects, etc... ...but THIS show - seriously epic and INCREDIBLY INSPIRING! I was blown AWAY by Dan's song, all of the things he did with the sound, the effects, amd the music. He was very self effacing, but that was excellent. Plus tge trippiness, the way the song moved along into its various parts - way, WAY better than the "spanking" he self described at the end (though if it were me, i would've said the exact same thing, so there's a huge grain of salt, lol). Now Mick (and Katherine for her cinematography), went so NEXT LEVEL... I am gobsmacked. Talk about inspiring. Like Dan said, I love seeing how Mick really rises to the occasion, and does something incredible. Seriously, the video aspect of that song was outstanding, especially with the minimal time spent - imagine the task of creating that exact video 25 years ago, amd what a huge production that would've been... I also really liked the visual images of Mick with his hands over his face. That, especially repeated as it is, with the falling on the ground, leaning/pounding against the corner/wall and the vibe, really creates an emotional reaction that seems (to me at least) to address sadness, depression, frustration, and struggle - now THAT to me, was what it took the song to an absolutely higher level, and prompted so many moments of feeling blown away. I have much more praise - the IDEA of the show was great - the RESULTS were outstanding! This going to be a great weekend, I have long been a fan of pushing my own music out of my comfort zone, and I think having some restrictions like the basic length of the song, making a video, etc, REALLY help nudge the process towards yeilding great reaults! I am so grateful for not just Dan and Mick, but every single one of you involved. Congratulations both of you on outstanding results!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Patrick, thanks man. Mick here. That the videos drew an emotional reaction from you is so great to hear. At the end of the day that’s what we’re here for - to try and convey that emotion in creativity is really central to music and guitar. We don’t always manage it, but it’s ultimately what drives this whole circus. ;0) And thank you for getting the depression thing. Obviously that is what it’s about and I’m glad that came across. Best to you sir!

[@soundpropellerpatrick113]

@@ThatPedalShow The more i watch these, the more I find I hope you guys release both just as the individual videos, maybe in a week, or as a Christmas gift, around the holidays. I would only repeat myself in how genuinely impressed I am. They're both outstanding in different ways. It would be cool to share the videos, and get my non pedal nerd friends to see/hear these By the way Mick, as someone who has been recording and mixing since the 80's, 2 audio engineering degrees, blah, blah, blah, I commend you on your MIX. With those elements, you could remix that until you're blue in the face, sure maybe make it sound "better" (by SOME standards), but the way you mixed it, again, the EMOTION came through, and any person mixing it should be pursuing that very thing you achieved to great effect, in my genuine opinion, subtracting my TPS fan-brain. Seriously, solid. Soundgarden, I think, is the part you were wondering about, BUT what they did with it, and what YOU did with it - so good, and their own thing in the respective songs. Also, the silliness and off-the-cuff manner in which it began, I think is important, too. If you set out to be epic, it may be a long hill to climb. Taking a song that maybe had more "humble beginnings", and finding the "epic nature" in even a "silly" song, can transform it, creating a bit of synergy.

[@KickyRent]

This community deserves .gifs of Mick running down a country road, stat.

Great episode. "I got carried away" is a great thing to say when you've done something spectacular. Both solid offerings. You guys should do this once a year. Maybe like a favorite new pedal(s) of the year feature. Then ten years from now you drop the TPS Greatest Hits album.

[@troyoswald5683]

"It starts of silly and then it becomes something else" That's it. Like a child at play. Great stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed both tracks.

[@orangenotviolet]

Mick: "All the sounds I heard from this I don't understand....."....I was literally lying under the table laughing

[@ErikFritz]

That was absolutely awesome! I also think there's a real lesson about the creative power that comes with not taking yourself, or what you're doing, too seriously. I know I suffer from that - this idea that what I'm doing is important/meaningful and that it has to be "good" - but again and again the best creative experiences seem to happen when I let that go and just give myself permission to be a little silly. Yet, somehow, I keep needing to relearn that lesson. We should all get "a bit carried away" more often. Thank you both for the refresher!

[@ThatPedalShow]

You speak the truth Erik! How do we bottle this and... give it to ourselves for free!?

[@justie1220]

The way you guys get lost in the sounds, no matter how outlandish they seem to be(phonkify, Rooms, and Blooper,) is just simply incredible! It’s an inspiration to me, who is just finding my feet in the world of six string noisemakers, as I’m sure it’s an inspiration to those who’ve been playing for a long time!

[@ianandrew1496]

Dan acknowledges Mick’s genius with a pants down spanking analogy. Gold - great work Mick.

[@TheShabick]

So a friend of mine linked this, never seen you before. I know almost nothing about this and I know this isn't really for me (yet). But I have to say, this was AWESOME. I love seeing people take that flying leap to play with something unfamiliar and let creativity drive draw outside the lines. Give yourself more credit Dan, that was great music, Mick just did a bit more post production, and seemed a bit more loose with the setup. But honestly I'm glad he did because he had a totally new concept to work with that Blooper and when you go that far... I know that rabbit hole. And best of all he worked with it from many angles since it was messing with him so much. When I end up working with a musician again I'm probably going to bring up that Rooms(and probably this video). Keep being awesome and thanks for an interesting and entertaining hour. And if the rest of your videos are like this, I can imagine it's a great service, cause I look at these boards with wonder, "How do you know what sound you'll get from this?" Well if someone has a video like this you can find out and makes it a lot more approachable. You guys rock.

[@t3r080]

This. Was. Pure. Gold. Another great example why this duo kicks and rules. Like I commented earlier... it's like watching Pedal world's "Mythbusters". Dan & Mick, Jamie & Adam. So entertaining while informative at the same time.

[@mgbasinski]

Except Dan and Mick don't hate each other...

[@BCEpedals]

It astounds me how much effort Mick will put into his projects. Even if he thinks all he is doing is polishing a turd he makes damn sure it’s the best he can do. (By no means am I saying this episode was bad, IT WAS EPIC!) truly astonishing how you two produce creative sounds under pressure and outside of your comfort zone!

This was an amazing adventure that I wouldn't have imagined coming out the way it did. In many ways, you took us (the viewer) out of our comfort zones. That Pedal Show is a familiar environment where the protagonists of the show allow us to vicariously experience gear without coming out of our pockets to do so. Today you transported us into the vivid imaginations of two wild men on a mission! Well done guys! I'm thoroughly impressed by what you've done here!

[@8466849]

Thank you both for all your efforts in putting out such great content!

[@jwn333]

I'd love to hear Mick expand on his comment about "finding all the creativity in the world for silly stuff". For me, it's almost like creativity for the sake of it, always leads to a dead end, but if there is some other purpose that lowers the stakes of what you're trying to do, especially if it starts out as a bit of a joke, you can really get carried away and end up with something great.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Let’s do this on Monday. So, so relevant’

[@thesullivanstreetproject]

That Pedal Show Absolutely! My favorite song that I’ve written to date started out as a joke title my friend gave me: Randall Found a Dollar. It ended up being a great song with a story about how things don’t always turn out achieving the things you want doesn’t always bring happiness. I would never have written that song without that joke of a title.

[@mxh5647]

Gentlemen: Thank you thank you. That was to quote you guys 'Epic!'. Both of you were way outside MY comfort zone with those pedal choices but you held my attention from beginning to end.

This has been one of, if not my favourite episode ever. I laughed so much, my wife kept laughing at how into it I was. But it was truly brilliant watching, such a creative episode. I love it! Cheers for brightening up my Friday. I am now off to put a filter on my board now.

Amazing, both the music and the show as a whole. Keep it up please, I can see this exploration of creative use of the gear in context becoming a regular theme with TPS.

Oh please please PLEASE do an episode like this again, it was absolutely wonderful! Both of your tracks sounded awesome, both of your vlogs were interesting, and both of your videos were AWESOME! What a great episode, and awesome pedal selections :)

You guys!!!!!! I think this is the best thing that has happened to you. Out of the box and letting YOU come out. They were great .

Really wonderful show. I love TPS, but this was a challenge that brought out the best in both of you. Kudos on keeping it real and fun. Thanks for how you care enough to set each other up for success

This video is an absolute gem. I enjoy the long videos, but I fear a lot of viewers probably didn't stick around for the song reveals. Absolutely brilliant! Thanks guys.
