TPS Pick'N'Mix - Hamstead Odyssey, Mythos Golden Fleece, Subdecay Proteus, ZVEX, Lo-Fi Loop Junky

[@mattjohnson3925]

Finally got my hands on an Odyssey - WOW! I’m blown away by the range and dynamics. Top notch!

[@bottleneck1100]

big thumbs up for these ''4 pedals in half an hour'' shows. . for those of us with kids and minimal time.

[@stefankarlssonice]

Both the Odyssey and Golden Fleece go straight onto my acquisition list - you guys should do a show featuring a pedalboard with just single-dial pedals!

[@adamlonghorn9341]

and also the always on pedals.

[@francisgori5631]

Hampstead Odyssey.... just WOW! What a stellar little box of joy! Thanks guys- now wakey, wakey Mick- and get back to fixing those washing machines!

[@mikeroadblock]

You guys are a joy! Take all the time you’d like. Keep on rocking!!! Thank you.

[@lecroixband]

Really appreciate you guys keep it mostly clean,my grandkids like to watch you guys with me,raising 4 of em,and they love when I play,they love Pedal Show,Raiseing them right!

[@ipo79]

Just bought an Odissey and it is absolutely the best overdrive/distortion pedal I ever owned. Sounds amazing.

[@evetsiksatu]

I purchased an Odyssey. Promptly sold three ODs from my collection. Could not be happier or more impressed

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Evets Iksatu such a great pedal

[@Robstafarian]

Thanks for the smiles, fellas.

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

25:18 I Don’t Trust Myself (John Mayer) is the song you’re referring to, Mick.

[@kieransweeden]

The Odyssey sounds wonderful! You can really tell by the sound of course but the way they're so impressed/excited about it!

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Covered my screen in coffee at "help with the impending load"!

[@FRETW1ZARD]

Some beautiful playing this week, guys. Really enjoyed listening (even the out there stuff)

[@kembooo000]

Aziz here hello. Thumbs up if you think every that pedal show video should be at least 1 hour long.

[@alexlewis8468]

Wow, the Odyssey pedal may be the 1st pedal that has turned me on to Fuzz type tones! Never thought I'd see the day! Its great because it seems so tweakable! Good show lads!

[@DavidGlendinning]

"The Hamstead Odyssey. You won't even need to drop a mic after making your musical statement with it." #justwow

[@joshscott3271]

I love that juicy and chewy tones you get out of that P90 and the Golden Fleece Mick, that is an inspirational sound, and nice playing to bring it out. You had a similar tone when playing around with you p90's in your PRS Gold top style guitar, I am not normally a fan of the PRS double cuts, but that video you did with it made it hard not to like that guitar, you made it come to life.

[@amallettjr]

Immediately in love with the Hamstead!

[@Les537]

It was all down hill after that awesome opening loop, boys. I could have listened to that for 30 minutes or so. Keep them coming.

[@Davepotnoodle]

That golden fleece is INCREDIBLE. And the zvex sounds like a ton of fun

[@omiska]

Wow, the Odyssey solves the mystery of what I want for Christmas... Great job, as always! Cheers from Croatia!!!

[@TechMetalRules]

I absolutely LOVE the Loop Junky! It's good to see some ZVex stuff on here!

[@GitShiddy]

So happy to see the Golden Fleece finally get a play on here, I've been obsessed with it since I first heard it. Similarly have the same feeling with the Broadcast & hearing you guys say they're similar is encouraging and has made me question whether I need both (definitely want both). Odd though that the Fleece was overshadowed a bit by a 'normal' overdrive in the Hamstead what a glorious racket that thing makes. The list just keeps getting longer!

[@bassgodmike]

Ive been watching your show for quite some time now, and every time I hear your Tele, I'm completely blown away! I want my tele to be as huge sounding as that!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Make it light, get old hardware, nitro finish, alder body, maple neck with rosewood cap board, vintage correct pickups. It won’t be far off!

[@RobFlaxMusic]

11:40 Dan is "that guy" (plays this pattern effortlessly, like "oh that old thing...") I chuckled.

[@mattheweastel129]

That Hampstead is outstanding, such an amazing range of tones. The Golden Fleece is superb too, for a one knob pedal. I've just bought the Thorpy Muffroom Cloud to be able to shape my tone with the fuzz, but it sounds like Mythos have just nailed it with their one!

[@ElPedro212]

I keep meaning to ask you guys, but I wanted to throw out one episode idea. Maybe there's not enough there, but hey, maybe there is... What about an episode on pedals that straddle the line between overdrive and fuzz? I've been keeping a list, and mine as of now is: JHS Kilt, Analog Man Astro Tone, T-Rex Mudhoney, Keeley Germanium Super Phat Mod, Small Sound Big Sound F*ck Overdrive, Small Sound Big Sound Pretty Years, Hudson Broadcast, Foxrox Zim, Wampler Velvet Fuzz, JHS Color Box, Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh Fuzz. And then after today I added the Hamstead and the Mythos. Basic context for me personally is that I don't like most amps' overdrives (I'll see myself out), I don't like what I feel like are most overdrives that try to sound like those amps, and kind of the way you guys talk about the Broadcast, to me this a class that might work well for people (like me) who don't like traditional overdrives.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Moose212 Yeah this is a great area for a topic Moose... and very relevant to the both of us at the moment. Let’s do this! Thanks for watching.

[@ElPedro212]

Awesome. If you guys are looking for a short list of stuff you haven't featured, I'd vote Analog Man Astro Tone and Small Sound Big Sound F*ck Overdrive. Thanks!

[@GitShiddy]

They do touch on this topic, though with less pedals, in the Alternative to Normal Overdrives video. I'm of a similar mindset it seems and that's a video I constantly go back to for the tones.

[@ElPedro212]

Totally. Watching that and the T-Rex I was thinking I really just wanted to see more of the fuzzy OD's

[@michaelkay611]

Excellent suggestion. Other than trying to keep this a family channel, I cannot agree more with checking out the smallsound/bigsound F*ck Overdrive, which is one of the most original pedals out there. I have one on my board and it serves beautifully as an always-on low gain drive that can be stacked, as a fuzz-like lead tone generator, and as a tool for creating weird broken soundscapes with the envelope controlled voltage modification. In a band situation, I've found the blown-out amp crackle sound can sometimes be hard to hear in the mix when used heavily. Most recently, though, I've been using this pedal at pretty high gain for fuzz/distortion lead tones, with the crackle on just a little bit, and it's just a fantastic sound. The little bit of crackle is something felt more than heard, kind of compression-like, and it's glorious. It's an ingenious design in my opinion. Brian Hamilton, the builder, has other very cool stuff and also plays keyboards in Cymbals Eat Guitars, a most excellent band.

[@StealthParrot]

I LOVE that Hamstead Odyssey!

[@ForeverChillMan]

Great episode, now I want all 4! Lo-Fi Loop Junky looks and sounds like something that Mac Demarco would enjoy using :D

[@RobFlaxMusic]

Side note about the Lo Fi Loop Junky: I lost my mind when I learned there's an "Instant Lo-Fi Junky" which has the modulation circuit and a super squashy compressor, instead of the looper! Works marvelously as a weird lo-fi chorus/compressor pedal when you blend half and half "clean" and modulated tone (learned that watching your show!). Seriously, check it out if you haven't. It's incredible (though, again, that hiss is a prominent sound... it's in no way clean).

[@the_swoletariat1621]

I love how much fun you guys have been having lately!

[@justingarcia7722]

Ordering a hamstead :) I have a pettyjohn chime at the moment I’m using for this purpose, after my king of tone. It’s set as an eq/boost pedal so I can boost all frequencies, when that’s required, the pettyjohn (wonderful pedal, you guys should check out their products) sounds killer but I think this is exactly what I want in the chain

[@Athraminaurian]

Sweet baby Jesus on a pogo stick! That Hamstead pedal is the god damned truth! That is like the coolest OD I've heard.

[@HamsteadSoundworks]

Haaaaaaaah! That comment has made my day.

[@jchang7524]

hamstead sounds rad. i completely lost it when you did the washing machine bit.

[@GemmaSeymour]

I had guessed correctly that the teased new Hamstead pedal was going to be an overdrive, but I couldn't have imagined something as awesome as what they came up with. Baxandall tone stack that you can place pre or post gain, three different types of overdrive, and three different gain ranges, plus it sounds amazing, as one would expect from Hamstead.

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Great video as always. The Odyssey just sounded like a fuzz pedal to me when you turned the gain up, but I know that KZbin changes the sound, and I wasn’t hearing what you were hearing in the room.

[@peterjessop1878]

The Odyssey is incredible.

[@tstu1701]

So cool, interesting, and useful. Love the random tap and hold function on the Subdecay Proteus. Now I’ve got to get the tools out and see if I can get the Mobius to do that. 😆

[@williamdavis7274]

Zvex and experimental pedals! Just as you promised... You are men of your word! Thank you! I love traditional blues and rock guitar but I would love to see more of this type of experimental sonic alchemy featured along side the more conventional stuff! Thank you again, I love the channel! You know in a day and age where real instruments are being swapped out for sample library's and synth, guitars (and analog effect pedals) ability to generate crazy texture like a synth, but still sound organic and alive, has kept guitar relevant in modern production. They might not be front and center like they used to be, but they are still there! I come from the world of film composition, where speed and budget factor into just about every decision... And I use guitar textures on just about everything... Even orchestral stuff. In fact there is a great video with a film composer that goes by the name "Junkie XL" (a "disciple" of Hanz Zimmer... Himself no stranger to guitar and pedals) where he, a heavily electronic musician with walls and walls of 50k $ vintage Moogs and other Analog synths, will still bust out 30 analog effects pedals and the guitar to add textures to his film scores!!! For those who scoff at ring modulators and the like as gimmicky, they might be the reason electric guitar survives as a vital and important force as modern music production become more and electronic. Hear that Dan and Mick? The humble guitar pedal will save the guitar from becoming a relic of a bygone era! That make You guys like the European monks who copied and translated ancient Latin scrolls, so the works of Pythagorus and Plato survived the dark ages! You are the guitar equivalent of torchbearers of Civilization is all I'm saying 😉😎

[@williamdavis7274]

Here the Junky XL guitar pedal vid mentioned above: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5uxXpispcujgc0

[@ThatPedalShow]

Let’s do it!

[@williamdavis7274]

reply made my day

[@PatFlanigan]

115K guys, congrats! Growing faster and faster!

[@vova.isaev.guitar]

Perfect p'n'm. 4 of 4. Now I know what I'll by for Christmas

[@josephpickard3108]

That Subdecay has a lovely John Mayer Q-Tron vibe about it

[@Aleph_Null_Audio]

5:05 Maybe "Pick N Mix" should become "Gear and Beer". What overdrive pairs with my favorite Pilsner? Does a Tone bender go better with a stout or an IPA?

[@dumpeeplarfunny]

I'd say a tone bender goes better with a stout, because IPAs are trash.

[@koski666]

I ordered a Golden Fleece because of you guys! :D

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hope you love it!

[@mikesavvas1794]

The Odyssey, the Golden Fleece and the Proteus. It's an Ancient Greek mythology extravaganza out there.

[@sidest3818]

Whoa that odyssey is the sunset/brothers killer!! Loved the zvex and the intro too hahaha

[@jaybirdgoody]

That Golden Fleece, it sounds phenomenal and sparks my interest because it's just one knob

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jason Goodwin Yeah baby!

[@jaybirdgoody]

That Pedal Show I wanna have a pedalboard that's just one knob pedals. I think this would be amazing

[@sonic7184]

Mick is on freaking fire in this episode!

[@MarcBeringen]

When is the Keeley 'Darren & Stewart' coming out?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Marc Beringen Wooooo. You are totally on to something!

[@justingarcia7722]

Marc Beringen what’ll that be? A dual analog octave up/down pedal with built in germanium fuzz?

[@MikeTaffet]

I was expecting Mick to play some John Mayer with that opening Jam

[@jessievasser6293]

I immediately went and bought the Mythos Golden Fleece from Riff City's Reverb.com shop... last one ;-p

[@harryvincent]

Loving that there's more ZVex stuff being shown!

[@simonsmith9363]

Really impressive sounds from the Collings and the Mythos Mick, loved those tones!!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you! That guitar does wonderful things. :0)

[@stevengarvey5782]

Nicely done, gentlemen. Heads Up: Ariel Posen will be in your neck of the woods in February. Perhaps a visit is in order? His board has undergone large changes since he was last featured on TPS.

[@freq9939]

That Golden Fleece has got some midrange to it. Digging it

[@marcmenickella4014]

That Hamstead Oddysey is pretty awesome. You guys should realllly do a video on the Truetone (previously Visual Sound) VS-XO dual overdrive! Another really cool pedal that I've heard a ton about that is similar to that Hamstead where you can use it as boost or drive and switch the order of the two as well as the clipping and level of bass. But you can ALSO dial in the level of clean or overdriven signal you'd like to hear. Would love it if you guys could include this in one of your videos!

[@ElPedro212]

Hey guys, one observation in case it raises a consideration for you. For whatever reason, I've found that the Mythos Golden Fleece and Earthquaker Cloven Hoof both have more clarity when I play them live that I heard when you had each of them on. I'm only mentioning because they have some similarities, and I know you guys are often looking for any ideas on how to tweak your setup to better get the sound you guys hear in the room into the youtuber's headphones. Thanks again for everything you guys do!

[@DanGlidz]

The description is absolutely brilliant!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Dan Gliddon ;0)

[@acousticguy1]

I ordered an Odyssey today. Can't wait to get it. I've been looking for a higher gain pedal to use with my Suhr that has low output pups. (PAF style buckers) I own the Riverside, but it seems I have to really crank the gain to get it to sing with low output pups.

[@hugosarabia9863]

God! The odyssey it's just awesome!!!

[@ernieandbert190202]

Great channel Thanx for your action

[@josephpickard3108]

addendum: the Zvex Ooh Wah used to do the random filter thing really well. Wonder if the Subdecay is more affordable?

[@kevinjohnbetts]

Mjolnir is Master Chief's armour! (Halo game reference there) ...... as well as Thor's hammer and several other things. I read the details section - Dan, you cheeky so-and-so!! :D

[@GitShiddy]

By the way Mythos Pedals use numerous mythologies as there nomenclature. The Mjolnir is Norse, Thor's Hammer (Yes even in those movies) Golden Fleece, Herculean the upcoming Titan all Greek, Chupacabra is Mexican Bigfoot basically and there other pedals are something I don't know. It's really good brand identity. Don't know why the Joey Landreth Mjolnir didn't get a Canadian myth name though, like Wendigo, Yeti, Maple Syrup Margaret, Anne of Green Gables or Dudley Do-Right. ;-)

[@krautcomputing891]

I love it how Mick goes full teenager over a filter sound literally moments after rambling on about „adult“ pedals... X-D

[@BigMikeGuitar]

The beginning of this video was like two guys sucking Helium and playing Helium guitar :) Pretty freakin' cool!

[@scampthelazycat9891]

Dan/Mick do you reckon you will be able to get the plate reverb show featuring the catalinbread talisman pedal up and running ? You guys have great chemistry between you and the show is pure gold.

[@MattVoyageOfSound]

You should check out the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Procession Reverb it has a killer hold function plus all the combinations of reverb with flange,tremolo or filter with a mix control.

[@bwbailey90]

I love your content and enjoy seeing you branch out into new territory! I often wish for "tuition tidbits" on some of your go-to licks. In particular, I'm curious about that crazy blues run that Mick deploys. Is the moment when we see him stop to count "1-2-3-4-5" that we witness briefly in this vid the key to unlocking it?

[@benbutterworth7584]

I have an Odyssey arriving today. I hadn’t heard it before I ordered it. It transpires it wasn’t a risk. And relax...

[@mootsym]

best part of this video was the washing machine bit. Dan losing it for like 30 seconds lol

[@iananderson12796]

Love that Mu-Tron sound!

[@stevenbailey77]

You can imagine where it goes from there! (pause) He fixes the cable? 26:30 Very funny !!!

[@aa12ron]

Best pick n mix yet...in my opinion :) Do you two fellas think that En. Filter would work on bass? I love the tone of it but obviously some pedals liposuction the bottom out of sexy pedals ... glad to see you guys increasing the success of your show. I've certainly learned a lot and have applied it to my own wife hating pedalboard :)

[@Odecca]

Agh! You guys are killing me.. LoFi junky.... Need. Now.

[@confusedscreaming9727]

Been saving for a RYRA Klone for ages and now i have to save for a Hamstead Osyssey too?! God damn it guys!

[@vincet68]

“That’s right, Stuart...” should be a t-shirt 😄

[@rayh7046]

I absolutely love these videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@adalbertoschuckjr.1509]

Just a modest suggestion: Show also the adjustments of the amplifiers used. I think this is a crucial information as well..

[@bwakeman]

That Odyssey is beautiful in every dirty overdriving way ever. Also, can you do a comparison between the Odyssey and the Jackson Audio Prism? Preamp pedals maybe?

[@AZFunk]

gotta love that Micksplaining ;)

[@toddhess4258]

The washing machine joke.............thanks for that! I was crying! then....the impending load

[@MikeTaffet]

Would like to see a Pedal A vs B featuring Golden Fleece and Earthquaker Acapulco Gold battle of the one knob rock boxes

[@MythosPedals]

YES!!!!

[@rcoveyduc]

Beginning is almost like jazz/funk through the Miku lol.

[@alanredversangel]

That OD reminds me of the zinky true grit. I never could tame it.

[@harrysouter2304]

please take as much time as you want .

[@vandal_dk]

Mjölnir is Thor’s hammer, not a God. At least you got the Norse part right this time;-)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+The Lion's Roar Ah bloody hell. I soooo knew that! Mick here. Doh. Norse mythology is what I meant!

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

Apparently Dan and Mick are quite worthy... 😉

[@aaronlsuton]

Love the show guys! There are many imitators but you guys set the bar! Can you guys bump the second analogman vid to the top of the list of vids to put out?!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Aaron Sutton It’ll be up within the week Aaron. At the moment we wish we could bump anything anywhere. :0)

[@darrenofdrivers]

Can we hear the Hamstead into the Hamstead soon pleeeeeeaaase? That sounds rad though. I was hoping you’d feature the Hamstead pedal soon, I’m hanging my nose over the artist 20 rt at the moment and if you’re gonna drop 2099 on an amp, you may as well get the pedal too!

[@Jonathan_Bradford]

i want a video of nothing but the sound between 4:22-4:45. All Day. Good God Mick that tone.

[@DomSchu]

Yes, they could do a whole episode on dialing in a good clean tone. Which could then go into a good pedal platform, or a crunchy amp tone that could be rolled off on the guitar for cleans.

[@Jonathan_Bradford]

they've done two videos detailing those two things already haven't they? Either way i agree. But if they put out an album of just that tone aforementioned, id buy 2.

[@chipsnblip6449]

hey guys, greetings from california. really enjoying the show

[@ThatPedalShow]

Greetings to California. We love California!

[@MikeTaffet]

24:50 Ah there’s the John Mayer I was waiting for lol

[@Only1Feckitt]

That's a nice Butch pedal guys! (tears:)

[@matthewcooper7105]

that envelope filter bit had me dying.

[@Stratollac]

That Hamstead is absolutely amazing! All that versatility. It’s strikes me as a great practice and studio piece, but maybe too fiddly for live unless you only want one sound out of it. Thoughts?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Randy Thomas you could say that about lots of pedals though. Finding one great tone for live use is all I ever really ask from an od pedal

[@munchycrunchypancake]

odyssey sounds so good

[@bozwellification]

That is a strong overdrive... one might say it’s strong like a man.

[@onixtheone]

Dude the frikin video description section!! LOL

[@tomcordellmusic]

y'all take however much time you want for these videos dammit

[@aflorey49]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on auto swells. I saw TC just released the Crescendo and I'm interested in what you guys have to say about it!
