TPS Pick'N'Mix - JHS Moonshine V2, JAM Retro Vibe, GFI Specular Tempus, Schock Rock Green Fuzz

[@neuk01642]

Ah Man I'm LOVING this mid week interludes! I feel like a kid who was offered a biscuit and reached in and grabbed a handful... although much older... and a lot more tired... and a lot more skint...

[@ThatPedalShow]

+neuk01642 Tasty biscuits all the same though. :9)

[@phatman1478]

Mid-week videos are a great idea! I love the "summarized" version of the show, with some lesser-known pedals!

[@jonathandiaz2435]

30 minutes? More like 29 minutes and 37 seconds pfft. Lol this is awesome! I absolutely love the videos!!!

[@danieljdtaylor]

jonathan diaz you’re right! When will these lies stop :(

[@paulhawksworth1586]

Having been a proud owner of the GFI Specular Reverb and the Wavelogic II for a couple of years, I am delighted that they are now, at long last, getting the exposure that they deserve. The most underrated pedals in the marketplace in my opinion. I hope Dan/Mick have the time to dip into what the Tempus is truly capable of. Try the reverb algorithms without the delay. Inspiring.

[@AlexFlannagan]

I love you guys trying something new. I do prefer long form, sprawling anecdotes; and each of your personalities shining through. It’s fun watching things continue to evolve. Please keep on making that pedal show! I’m saving up for a G2 👍

[@patrickcarroll1754]

The day that Andy from PGS is on TPS is the day the internet will explode.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Patrick Carroll YES!!!!!! We need to make this happen

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

Bring it on boys! -Andy

[@FrostyTF]

ProGuitarShopDemos yeeeah the boys!

[@ElisandroDeLeon]

Its happening

[@christophorhill2320]

I have to assume someone's mentioned this before, but a Klon (*gasp*) is, at its heart, a highly refined 808 circuit. One of the key differences has to do with the dual gang potentiometer that was used as the gain control....it's a true concentric mixing control. When the gain is all the way down, the clean signal is all the way up. As you increase one you automatically decrease the other, and vice versa. My contention is that even though the JHS Moonshine is meant to emulate that sacred green pedal, it actually affords you the possibility of imitating the other sacred pedal, with astonishing accuracy. You just do the mixing manually, with two knobs instead of one. Great sounding pedal! I do realize this is an old video but it's something worth mentioning, I think. Love the show, boys!

[@urbanesoul8400]

Glad you guys are doing 2 vids per week now. I hope you continue to follow the main substance of your original videos; looking at old effects, when they first came out, how they work, & comparing them to newer pedals.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Zenn's Life Yeah. That’s the plan - Fridays will be theme/discovery/explanation based. Tuesdays is just about new pedals. :0)

[@JohnPriceJNPMusic]

You really should spend more time going over the GFI Specular Tempus! This pedal is worthy of your attention and can't be truly appreciated in a 5 minute segment.... Hope to see more of it from you.....

[@heycalamity22]

John Price fully agree

[@gezasereny6126]

Fully agree!

[@sweetswing1]

I agree. Do you have one yourself? I'm on a wait list to buy one. It is the best sounding pedal I've ever heard. Period. And I haven't even heard it in person.

[@JohnPriceJNPMusic]

I do have one and have to say that it's one incredible sounding pedal. So far the best review has been this one Alberto Barrero.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5W2qoqnq56ar9E

[@sweetswing1]

John Price cheers

[@mikeplaysguitar36]

Dan playing with the tempus, and Dan with the vibe and fuzz simultaneously was ridiculous!! I started laughing at how incredible it sounded.

[@MrBingping]

I totally understand you wanting to make shorter vids for those who don't like the long ones, what I don't understand is the people complaining about the long vids. They know that they can skip to anywhere in the vid right? Especially with the time stamps you put in the descriptions. Lol still awesome episode as always and I have a feeling that this new series is gonna end up hitting me in the wallet 😂

[@sw4712]

i love your long form videos. i dont think you should worry about time. i put them on like its a podcast

[@ThatPedalShow]

+s w A lot of people love the long vids. A lot of people really don’t, so we’re trying to offer both alternatives. :0)

[@sw4712]

got it

[@the_swoletariat1621]

I work 84 hours three weeks in a row, so keep the awesome videos coming guys, I’ll need them!

[@jthescruff]

Fantastic as always gents, that Fuzz was righteous! Why the half hour limit just out of curiosity? (Feel free to make them an hour and a half. ;) )

[@xJaGG3d]

djents*

[@tomcordellmusic]

that tone and playing at 4:07 is murderous. love the pedal exploding in between notes

[@tomcordellmusic]

and damn mick 5:33

[@guitarmoderne]

Great bunch of pedals guys. One thing I would like to know when doing future fuzz pedals, is how they clean up when you turn down the guitar volume knob. Not a better or worse, just point of info

[@scampthelazycat9891]

I have tried hard, god how I have tried to like fuzz but I just cannot do it. That spittiness and feeling as though notes are asphyxiated is something I can't live with. Brill show and I really enjoyed it.

[@professorpedalz7215]

Scamp Thelazycat I always felt that way about fuzz untill I started watching Dan and Mick I've been working on this pedal circut for about 2 years now and now am starting to really get into fuzz.

[@wadeadkins4927]

All of these sounded great, another fun Pick'N'Mix!

[@pd4165]

Hello the real Mick - GuitCon seems to have woken you up. No more hiding in the shadows - there's intent in your playing of late. Bravo - no more underachieving sidekick, get stuck in!

[@pedalprescription]

Yes, my morning train commute just got better!

[@FlyingBeerman]

Loved these sounds. I didn't realize before that I needed a vibe pedal. And that GFI Specular Tempus is brilliant.

[@BaronsDuju]

FlyingBeerman - you need a vibe pedal. :) And then after it’s plugged in you need to play Machine Gun by Hendrix and Bridge Of Sighs by Trower. It’s such a great effect and hardly ever used on professional recordings.

[@23dvs]

Loving these new Tuesday segments! Please keep ‘em coming 😎

[@WatchesnguitarsDK]

It was Tuesday and the video is just shy of half an hour. Mission accomplished! Love your channel!

[@dikkeskieven484]

That fuzz! Holy CRAP. Righteous facemelting

[@davidr1620]

That Green Fuzz is LUSSSHH

[@professorpedalz7215]

David R thanks it's nice to hear good things about stuff I build

[@heycalamity22]

just picked up a specular tempus...absolutely amazing pedal..Will take me a while to fully realise its potential but is beautiful straight out of the box

[@empathysgone96]

Hey Calamity do you still feel the same about it a year later?

[@pd4165]

That purple vibe with the child's painting of a daisy - so right. Must. Put. Wallet. Away.

[@intrsoul]

I really like the Tempus - very inspiring sounds.

[@stevemacneil4819]

As usual, you guys rock, would love to see a feature artist board series, where you highlight pedal combinations used by different bands to harness signature tones. You definitely covered Jimi there, minus the wah!!! Keep up the good work.

[@playmoreguitar5393]

LoL Dan just sees something that has got a hint of digital and you can see the mental block cover his eyes. That Specular Tempus sounds incredible!

[@fernandocastro6279]

I really love Retro vibe, awesome sounds. I think it's one of Simon McBride's favourite pedals. Simon is an incredible irish guitar player. I saw one of his shows in A Coruña several weeks ago. Awesome show and band!!

[@fishypaw]

Nice pedals. I like the voltage control on the fuzz, reminds me of Jimi and his half dead batteries.

[@professorpedalz7215]

fishy paw that's what the voltage control is for a battery voltage sag effect

[@northernaccent369]

Sounds like a cool band name. Jimi & his half dead batteries...

[@swafranr]

I thought you were going to say "Voltage Sag Effect"... that's a band name waiting to happen too

[@middle_pickup]

GFI Specular Tempus

[@xthexadvantagex]

I happen to like when they talk at the same time as the playing. Always gives a different, usually still very enjoyable, time.

[@peterjessop1878]

Absolutely killer sounds today Gents

[@Aaronr1110]

Should change the name to "Dan's Pick 'n' Micks" that would be great

[@DavidDyte1969]

Mick reproducing the middle section of Echoes there at the end. Love it!

[@Webgkil]

TPS talking about malaka!!!! YAAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!! Love you malakes!!!!!(can be used as a friendly -very informal- namecalling between friends)

[@Mycall1983]

I love that Strat every time I hear it especially after today’s episode!

[@boatsorguitars]

Dan with the funk chops!

[@NathanLemmon]

Glad that Mic and Dan noticed the Specular Tempus was a great pedal even though they barely scratched the surface of what it can do. Dan knew that the presets on it are great sounding and convenient. Mic was a bit bumfuzzeled with how great the sounds were. (Trained ears) Thanks guys.

[@DavidDyte1969]

Love that Retro Vibe but... my Earthquaker The Depths is already sooooo good.

[@staftsekouras7900]

Retro vibe by jam pedals 👍 best vibe around ...

[@eichgon]

don't mind the longer episodes fellas. either way great show as always!!

[@christopherpowers3543]

Great stuff...costing me more money, btw. Dan’s first attempt at the string bend made me do a literal spit take!

[@WhatsUpWhitey]

Great show as always! Love that fuzz! Did have a question for Dan... Do you have a particular drive pedal that you like to pair with your BD2?

[@Jonathan_Bradford]

Good Lord the Tempus is incredible!

[@chrishepburn1503]

I agree with you Mick, the Moonshine had a little bit of a fuzz vibe to it. I wasn't expecting that considering it is based off the tube screamer.

[@TiagoFrancomusic]

yeah, Jam Retro Vibe before overdrives is how I do it. Sounds so good :)

[@IvoTrausch]

We need a TPS shirt which just says in big letters "YEAH!" on it

[@mherrley]

Not related to this video per say... Great video btw. I love the pick'n mixes. But i saw your Tom Quayle interview on his channel. I have to say, the genuine nature you guys brought to his interview was humbling. You guys are as good of interviewees as you are interviewers. Have to give Mr. Quayle props on his questions too though. Thank you for bringing yourselves and not a commitment to your shows/interviews I feel like a student more than just a viewer with your videos. Thanks guys!

[@cyrusfontaine2598]

That vibrato sound is actually killer! I like vibrato anyways, but that one is particularly good!

[@WilliamGM3rd]

I just love the info you guys give out, makes life easy. my respect for the both of you went up by a factor of twelve after Guitar con WOW. you should look at any thing from Manlay sound.dan will love them.

[@drmachismo]

Dan and Mick killing it twice a week now! Such a great idea to do separate shows for pedal reviews vs. gear tutorials. These shows inspire us to play just as much as a Big Muff into a Univibe!

[@nickfit3]

Dan Rhodes haha!! I was doing that just this morning! Someone needs to make a muff-univibe combo pedal!

[@drmachismo]

And make the order reversible like the D&M Drive! I'm in! Dan/Mick can you put in a good word with Mr. Keeley?!

[@Rouss334]

Mick I didn't know you could sing the blues that well! I know you so much better now since GuitCon ;-)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Roussis Nakos Oops. I try not to let that stuff on the internet. People get the wrong idea, but it is what it is. Thank you!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Always love & appreciate, everything you guys do. When you do your Univibe Episode - please include the Drybell, Electric Orange Moon Vibe MarkI, DLS Vibe, Jam Pedals, Prescription Electronics, Latest Fulltone & Original Univibe. ( not the fake ones without the Authentic Lamp & photocells ) for a True Comparison please. Also that GFI Specular Tempus Sounds Unique and different. Really peaked my curiosity !!!

[@juanmartinreborati7928]

Malaka? Haha... that wasn't Nice... Great pedals! That vibe sounds awesome! And you’re legends! Cheers!

[@GitShiddy]

Two weeks in a row of Fuzzes that don't remind the guys of old circuits hmm, I sense a new topic for a show emerging. Damn was that fuzz super tweakable.

[@WiresAndChords]

Pfft, I do tone-and-a-half bends at 0th fret with my pinkie on a SE Mushok... up hill, both ways. In the rain.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Mike Geiger Ggnnngghhhhh!!!

[@philipellis7039]

I thought at 4:56 Mick was going to give us a fuzzed up Trolley Song. Clang, clang, clang went the trolley, ding, ding, ding went the bell...

[@reginaldlaville8094]

Great show again guys. Learning so much from you both. Would be nice one day, if you can do a show on one brand of pedals

[@quintinpace2627]

Just Googled the fuzz, couldn't find it, then looked and saw the description haha

[@BryanSavage]

I love the vid but don't like the rush. I love the tangents you both go off on. Learn more from the tangents sometimes.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Bryan Savage We like the long vids too Bryan - that’s what Friday is for. Cheers!

[@williamsmothers8830]

Spent my quarterly pedal allowance on EA SIS cables and jacks. Gonna put together a pedal board! Totally unrelated to this episode, but I hold TPS directly responsible for this never ending hunt for tone.

[@kariabspoel2483]

Never got interested in the vibrato mode of any pedal until I tried Foxrox aquavibe... insanely lush and co-operative vibe on both settings. I often use it as a mock leslie or cold shot-esque pulse generator on the vibrato setting. If you have never tried it, give it a spin if you come across it.

[@JanFerwerda]

Loving the weekly mix! Time to investigate Anasounds pedals? Haven't seen them on your board.

[@6riffmaster]

If at all possible, I'd love to see an episode of TPS with Andrew Groves or Russell Marsden. Keep up the great work guys!

[@bryangray4178]

We need a more in depth overview of the GFI without a time limit! 😧

[@bryangray4178]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJuzlYVsjbaCntU never mind just realized andertons did one 👍

[@DavidFeilyMusic]

Another great video! It would be cool to see a comparison of pedals that have a clean blend option. I have the J Rockett Dude and love it

[@ThatPedalShow]

+David Feily Music I have a Dude too (Mick here) but I never knew it had s clean blend. Is that what the ratio knob is?!

[@DavidFeilyMusic]

That Pedal Show yes!!!

[@CentaurusRelax314]

I nominate those two guitars for induction into the Internet Hall of Fame. Epic.

[@MarcRauchbach]

If you ask me, don't skip the talking/explaining for shorter videos, it's great listening to you and learn something! :)

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

You guys should check out the delay and reverb pedals by GFI. Probably my favorite sounds of that type yet. That Moonshine 2 was really sweet as well though I don't really know how usable that blend function is though.

[@EDKguy]

I've had the Specular Tempus for about 7 months now and it is amazing! It has kicked Eventide Space and Pigtronix Echolution 2 off my board with no regrets. It does everything well. I never use the presets. I always create my own with the software. So, if you like it simple this is not for you😔 I paired this with a MIDI switcher (MIDI Commander) and I am in heaven. It actually will keep 32 presets and it has at least 32 algorithms. They also are still giving support updates too. From mild to wild this is the stuff.

[@brandoncascio933]

All I could find on that fuzz is that Schock Rock green fuzz GF2standard. Some other marketplaces that start with an R had them for preorder at one point. Can’t find it anywhere else. Sounds damn good!

[@professorpedalz7215]

B Cascio I build them to order for $179 US plus shipping. They are all built one at a time in Portland Oregon by me by hand. If anyone has any questions privet message me on instagram at instagram.com/schockrock

[@brandoncascio933]

Will do. Saw they didn't have anything in the description so was trying to figure out some info so that whoever made them (you) could get credit/some potential business. Awesome work man!

[@professorpedalz7215]

B Cascio thank you I have messaged them the info, but I think it may take time to update.

[@tassajohn]

I feel like it's friday already. actually at 19:39 the correct spelling of Henry's name is Henry Wijaya. cheers

[@MEKnd]

Would love to see Superego+ here next time. Also, Mike Matthews on the show?

[@whiskersb5296]

I've never fully understood how a clean blend knob on an overdrive differs from just using less gain on the gain knob.

[@Keigan884]

Could you guys do a video talking about the differences in using several boosts in a row versus an actual overdrive pedal to push your amp into overdrive heaven? Basically, is there any difference in running two boosters vs an overdrive pedal? Are there any benefits to either way?

[@alanredversangel]

That last pedal is awesome. I could probably get my Zoom MS 70 CDR to make those sounds if I wasn't so lazy.

[@eoghanbradley3509]

Hi guys, just wondering if you ever thought about doing a guitar setup video? setting the action, bridge and nut etc....

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Eoghan Bradley have thought about it, maybe on a Tuesday vid

The Schock Rock Green Fuzz sounds awesome 😱🎸

[@jaceksikora5920]

Hi Guys, What a great idea with Tue's Pick'N'Mix. It really makes my Tues better. However some word of criticism... Please don't rush. It creates impression that you must do something. I really like when you doing your things without any stress and rush. I really like when Dan start talking about pedals. Mick please do not stop him. This is part of this channel. And I do not know why you stressing this 30 min. The best episodes were when you guys talked and very often make digressions about everything. If you want keep it short edit it and cut it out the not necessary rush talking. I hope you understand my point and I still love TPS.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jacek Sikora We can’t run these videos too long Jacek. We know that some people like em long, but a whole swathe of other people don’t. We also can’t afford the edit and production time for endless long shows. Sorry but that’s the way it is. If we ever start making any decent money, maybe that can change. Cheers.

[@jaceksikora5920]

I understand you want make short videos... This show was the best of all Pick'n'Mix. You getting better and better. But constant looking at watch create a little bad impression. You could put big timer which close to camera visible for everybody... Or phone with Interval timer app. Try that app, very useful... This would show you guys time you spent on each pedal and total video time. Best

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jacek Sikora Point taken. I’ll get Dan some glasses with a clock on the inside. :0)

[@jaceksikora5920]

[@theCoffinSeller]

Don't know if you already mentioned that but I'm in love with the green fuzz and would like to know how to get my hands on that. Google also doesn't show anything for me as stated in the video description. My Gear Acquiring Syndrome is triggered :D

[@DrJohnfromnorwich]

Dan's bend at 18.08 almost got 'Iron Man' out of Telecaster!

[@Rustocaps]

Love the show. Have you guys considered doing an episode on comparing the very inexpensive pedals such as Joyo to their original counterparts? Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Rustocaps Hello! We do it from time to time in context. So for example if we’re doing flangers we’ll throw in the Mooer Elec Lady alongside an original Electric Mistress and so on. What we don’t do is the ‘cheap vs expensive’ approach for two main reasons. First, that’s kinda what most other channels do because they think that’s what’s important. And relatedly, second, Dan and my only questions are about what inspires you the most. If you’re asking ‘is this nearly as good as that for half the money’ then the answer is almost always yes. The first 75 per cent is easy to cover and the vast majority of other gear demos on KZbin deal with that. The last 25 (5?!) per cent is what TPS is all about. Thanks for watching!

[@OL-Electric]

When are you guys having the Gamechanger Audio's plus pedal in the show, the one you saw briefly at SNAMM17? It looked really interesting but not a lot insights on that to be found

[@wheelsdetroit8608]

Great playing as always. Just a request, when you do not switch guitars during an entire demo could one of you play a humbucker equipped guitar? Would give us a broader spectrum of sounds as opposed to just the two single coil Fenders.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Wheels Detroit Yeah, apologies for that. We try to remember to include singles and humbuckers... but succeeded in forgetting this time!

[@wheelsdetroit8608]

Thanks for the response. By the way I do own a D&M Drive. The Dan side I use as a Blues tone and the Mick side is always turned on. Double entendre intended. I took a LabelMaker and renamed them from Drive and Boost to Dan and Mick.

[@harrystultiens6633]

Dan what abt moonphaser and the moondriver, excellent pedals i bought after your video.

[@danielellisporter]

Love this channel! You guys introduced me to the archer icon(bought it, love it). I know youbhave done vids on the angry c and the moonshine. Have you messed with the sweet tea v3 at all?

i wish mick talked more about the moonshine in comparison to a TS, and dan talked more about what he thought of the clean knob.

[@anthonycamera4724]

Reverb.com has the Schock Rock Green Fuzz listed as taking pre-orders. That is a wicked sounding fuzz... $179.00 USD. Was thinking about a different fuzz, but I may need to change my mind. There are lots of different sounds available out of that pedal.
