What About Gretsch Guitars? That Pedal Show

[@tylerrose2891]

So many people sleep on Gretsch. A big hollow body Gretsch with Filtertrons can get literally nearly any sound on the planet all the while having a sound 100% all it’s own that no other guitar can really do. Just heavenly.

[@garyssimo]

you nailed it! Im shooting for James Wilsey tone. Chris Isaak Wicked Game or Cant stop me. tone. it was a Strat though. Hard to sound total Strat with Gretsch.....

[@VidarLund-k5q]

Plus, every Gretsch will need a Bigsby vibrato unit.

[@sumyupee]

A high-end Gretsch guitar into a thick fuzz pedal is something special for sure. Gretsch guitars will always be my favorite.

That Gretsch BT Jet and Broad’Tron BT65 pickups just really blew that Gibson Les Paul away... That sound is insanely great.

Seriously. I’m so close to getting a G6228FM. Love those Jets!

[@kempire4623]

Played the 50s series LP and a players series jet. Walked out with the jet and never looked back. That guitar is so good.

[@noisesoundtonevibe]

Chet Atkins was hired at a fairly young age at a radio station. He had to learn, figure out parts for and arrange songs on a daily basis, which pushed him to develop an extraordinary musical ability. He mixed in his admiration for Merle Travis, and the result was a very distinctive style and sound. He was also a frustrated singer. Unlike his brother, he did not have a powerful, Sinatra-like singing voice, so he tried to make his guitar sing for him. And if my memory serves me well, he produced Elvis' "Heartbreak Hotel" among other gems.

[@VidarLund-k5q]

Chet was also quite the guitar tech. He tweeked all his guitars into perfection, just like he wished for.

[@vocalion9519]

For those interested in Chet Atkins, there is a delightful remembrance of him called “A Tribute to Chet Atkins” on the Gretsch Guitars channel. Through that video I also discovered a few other guitar players who have since become personal favorites. I found myself watching it over and over. Very highly recommended.

[@Lalairu]

Thank you, I will check it out for sure :))

[@alexleech4490]

Definitely a good watch - and some EPIC playing!!

[@Yourweakminds]

My first ever Gretsch arrived yesterday - G5420T. £750 - made in china. Astonishing. Full of wonder. MUST buy a Gretsch professional asap. Utterly hooked.

[@Sabbz22]

As a lifelong The Living End fan I've always seen Gretsch as a rocking punk guitar. Chris Cheney is seriously underrated!

[@ThatPedalShow]

I interviewed him once. 6120 through a Wizard 200 watt wasn’t it? Or something insane like that! Mick here

[@Benny_Howie]

I am all for hearing you play power chords on that thing!

[@PaulJohnson-jq9xw]

I met Chet when I was about 18 or 19. He was the nicest person. He was truly a gentleman.

[@marksatterwhite316]

Growing up in the 50s and 60s, I watched Chet on many tv shows. I finally got to experience him playing live with an orchestra in the mid 80s. He's why I own a Gretsch. You guys summed up the versatility of Gretsch. Thanks!

[@tommytehcat]

I feel like this episode was made just for me. Big Gretsch fan and I love what mine does with an AC 30.

[@riheg]

Tom Sloan yeah thats a great sounding amp!

[@TR4Ajim]

What about Neil Young rocking out with his White Falcon all those years?!

[@fposmith]

And still does !

[@vocalion9519]

To my ears, Gretsch are the most analog-sounding of electric guitars. There’s a very full, organic, heft about them with an almost see-through quality to the sound without the congestion that I typically hear from most humbucker-equipped guitars.

[@smokesgtp]

The hollow or semi-hollow body aspect is definitely part of it

[@jamesrasmussen7036]

The one Gretsch pickup they didn’t cover was the HiLo’tron. Those are my favorite single Gretsch coils: top end chime like a DeArmond with that shimmering, see-through midrange, but they wail when you crank up the gain. Amazing sound.

[@compucorder64]

A good Epiphone Casino is another one that has that kind of quality. Bark and heft, but also this bell-like acoustic quality, with a bit of dirt / hair from the P90s.

[@VidarLund-k5q]

Gretsches started their lives as acoustic jazz guitars in the 1930s.

[@jt3483]

This is still one of my fave episodes ever. Not only because of the great stories and history, but also the amazing sounds and great jokes.

[@Danazawa]

I think the best pure guitar sound I have heard in the show. More people should play Gretsch!

[@garysmith2983]

Crikey. In the dog house. Watched this Friday. Saturday popped into PMT and bought a Gretch ! Have to say, for a £ 700 Korean made guitar it’s great. In fact the frets are far better dressed than the Leslie. Lovely tone. And despite reservations stays in tune. Going through some songs with my mate this pm, wacked the capo on third fret and still in tune. Wow. It definitely has a vibe about it, so very pleased.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

I paid even less for mine ($428 CDN) and I got the only one on the planet with horrible frets, but the store fixed it. Mine was made in Indonesia.

That Duane Eddy Signature 6120 sound was INCREDIBLE. My life goal has this guitar now

[@yestoES355]

You simply can’t go wrong with any of the gretsch guitars in the range. Streamliner, electromatic, players. All of them are extremely amazingly built. I always use my electromatic next to my custom shop 355, and les Paul custom. They sound about 99% there. Can not argue with the price for the gretsch, better built and sound than any epiphones, squire, MIM fender I’ve owned and played.

[@bobilly]

Maybe the fastest I've clicked on an episode. Gotta love that great Gretsch sound! There may be no prettier instrument than a White Falcon.

[@tysonrinker5958]

For real it is so beautifully crafted and the white color and gold is perfect representation of class

[@bluzzjazz]

I agree, I caught onto Gretsch guitars later after playing all the usual suspects for years. I have an LTV White Falcon, which has the antigue white lacquer finish and TV Jones pups. It is an unbelievably well built guitar and sounds like nothing else I have. I have a couple sparkle Jets as well, one with Filters and one with the Dynas. Different beasts entirely.

Another unique and underappreciated make Fourthly: Great show as always

[@ThatPedalShow]

We did a show on some Ricks with Dave Gregory a while back. Cheers!

[@fossilmatic]

That Pedal Show We could do with a show on Rickenbacker that goes well beyond the twelve string sound covered by Mr Gregory. A show that doesn’t simply define Rickys against Les Paul’s and Strats. From John Fogarty to Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, there is something about Rickys that, like Danelectro and Gretsch, interacts with effects and amplification in a new world of tonal possibilities. But perhaps it would require stretching beyond the comfortable and familiar?

The Gretsch Gods have been answered! I have been a Gretsch plater since the mid 1980's and have owned over 20 since that time. I currently own 8 and am thrilled you’re doing this episode! Gretsches are SO much more than Country or Rockabilly guitars. They can cover any material and sound amazing. Thank you, Dan and Mick!

[@PMUP2016]

Ray Butts was a consultant for Gretsch not an employee and he lived in Nashville. Ray Butts was asked by Chet to build a pickup that had no hum!

That resulted in the Filtertrons for Chet's 6120.

After playing Fenders for 40 yrs I had absolutely no interest in Gretsch guitars... until recently. Played one.. and a month later I’d bought 3. Love them. Took me a while to really appreciate them. Not much sustain, and almost woody character. But incomparable. Key is to appreciate them as something unique. I’m in love now- and need a 4th.

@@officialWWM I agree. Gretsch guitars have a particular shime in the tone that you cant find in gibson, fender and PRS style guitars (that I do love too) and works great with vox, fender, supro and some marshall style amps. Is not coincidence that became a classic💛. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5-zaoOgh6-posU

Chet followed in the footsteps of Merle Travis. Django, Les Paul and George Barnes were also influences. But Merle Travis was his greatest influence. That style of picking is called Travis Picking.

Played my first Gretsch (that orange one) at the London Guitar Show last year, when I came to see TPS! I played over 30 guitars that day, & it just "felt" & sounded right. Strats & SG's will always be great for me, but in an effort to sound different; I'm saving for a Gretsch.

[@uniqdzign2]

As a Strat player for many years, (favourite) and many other brands too, this video not only had me subscribe, but change my mind totally about the Gretsch brand. I guess because when I was growing up, it was everything from the Shadows to Jimi, and the American country scene was like another world, which then caused more derision than respect. Not so with my now 73 years. Extremely enjoyable video gentlemen! I shall now look forward to the coming vids!

[@57ebartley]

I have an Aspen green Electromatic that I’ve had for a few years. Never really made friends with it till resonantly after I had my guitar tech pin the bridge and set it up properly. Just used it a couple weeks ago at a gig. 4 hour time slot and I ended up using it all night. Think I’m gonna get a treble bleed installed and possibly a roller bridge. Thank You for that episode. Really enjoyed it.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Oh blinkers, we didn’t even talk about pinned bridges. We so need to do more of this!

[@JohnShalamskas]

I added treble bleed to my 5420T for under $10, just a 1nF capacitor in parallel with a 150k resistor across the input and output of the main volume pot. WORTH IT! Made the guitar much more usable. Hint: You will need to remove the 3-way switch to get the pots out of the F hole. Use string (on the 3-way switch) and aquarium tubing (on pot shafts) before unscrewing them. Makes the reinstallation a snap.

This was really a mind-blowing experience for me.

I think I just got a better musical ear thanks to you

[@chrisegg7936]

It isn’t said enough in my opinion that Mick is a phenomenal player. I always find myself really enjoying how he’s able to take what i dare say is a narrower range of influence than Dan’s (i’m sorry if that’s presumptuous or off-base!), and make it fresh and interesting in many different contexts. One of my favorite things about this show is how it’s opened my eyes to how blues can be applicable to all sorts of situations and genres, when i used to write it off without much thought.

[@WayneStLouis-cy4ln]

I will start by saying I'm almost 69 years old, born in 1954. Rock & Roll was booming, watched The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show, loved the intricate guitar work of Roy Clark on Hee Haw, and the talent of Glenn Campbell. Was a huge fan of Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson... all of them. Yes, first and foremost a Country fan. My buddies said 'No country!', until folks requested it, and then I had to play it 'on the fly'. Those were the days. Thank god I have full finger movement and 'stretch'. I started guitar lessons at about 10 years old, and of course, had a small band with my best friends in later teens.... small easy wedding banquets, and one gig at a bar/restaurant with a long local history. We weren't even 'of age' yet, but no one really cared then. I had a non-descript hollow body electric and cheap amps which did the job, barely, but then again, no one cared. We did the best we could lol. Then in my 20's, I sold it all. Damn, that was stupid. I've used a now 40 year old Vantage acoustic ever since. Nice guitar.... but something has been seriously lacking in my enthusiasm the last several years, and I knew what it was. Just recently I purchased a BOSS Katana MkII 50 watt amp (did a lot of research for my personal needs and taste), and now saving for the guitar I really want. I have pretty much always been a Gretsch fan... nothing else will do. I'm pretty sure this will be the last guitar I will ever buy, and as far as I'm concerned, vintage all the way. Being retired, I will stick to my attainable means, but this is it. G5427TFM Electromatic Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby, Tiger Flame Maple, Laurel Fingerboard - Orange Stain. I guess my point is.. after all these years... my new guitar will be a Gretsch.

[@rugbynut]

Been a Grestch player for some time now, with plenty of gain stacking, and the liveliness and interaction of the guitar & amp is next to none! Howling for days!

[@aaronwinton7067]

I applaud you for not following what everyone else does... by copying everyone’s else gear to try to get the same result... I’m 48 and for years I just played what ever my favorite artist was playing to try to get the tone they did.. not realizing that the main part of the chain is the player... and equipment sounds different depending on who is playing it.... if I had a time machine I would have followed your approach... bravo, bravo.

[@JammyGit]

Gabrielle - I'm with you about the guitarists although as a scooterist Pete Townshend edges it for me. I also made my own "El Cabron" guitar which plays and sounds fantastic. When I made it I put a set of TV Jones Classic pickups in it but since then I've discovered Roswell FLT Filtertron style pickups that cost a fraction of the price of TV Joneses, around £25 each compared to £125 each, and are every bit as good, if not better than the TV Jones so I've decided to sell the expensive ones and keep the Roswells.....check them out on the dv247 website 👍

[@YellowSnowGR]

Big fan of the show here. Been a Gretsch player for 3 years now and one of the first things I noticed is that it is a truly unique guitar. One of the first questions that popped into my mind when I got my Gretsch was "what pedals could I use". More in terms of overdrive/fuzz/distortion. I've been experimenting a lot, but always an opinion from people like you is gold. So I was happy to hear Mick say in the beggining of the video, that questions like "what overdrive should I use" will be answered. I have been searching the internet for opinions, and finally I would get an answer from my favourite presenters! Instead, all I got was a history retrospective and two people jamming in a long 50 minuite video. I would love to have seen you guys analysing what pedals/amps/settings would work for what occasion, like you have done in previous (especially your first) videos. I will try to watch it again in case i missed something. Anyway, I still love you!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hello! You’re right - this would warrant a follow up. It dawned on me that we took some things for granted here, mainly that we just knew the Broadcast would work, especially being able to really shape the bottom end - where a thicker, less tonally neutral drive, or something that rolls off too much high, would work less maybe. Definitely worth exploring. Again, we know the Tumnus is a great boost for pretty much anything and the D&M Drive can be tweaked for pretty much anything. So we made some decisions without really explaining it. There are 20 more shows here.... :9)

[@nohandle54]

I used to be very into a rockabilly group called Reverend Horton Heat from Texas, and their lead singer/guitarist had his own signature 6120 that was absolutely beautiful. I pined after a bright orange Chet Atkins model after that for a long time, but the Fender/Gibson bug caught me quicker!

The Rev rocks 🤘🏼

[@radiodiffusionfrancaise1591]

yes!

There are two types of guitar players: Those who respect Gretsch, and those who fear Gretsch.

@@evhguitarfancollectbuildan3478 that's a good wife! I sold an almost new Fender that I wasn't playing much and bought a G2622 without the Bigsby and so far, I love mine too. Congrats!🎸

[@joebryant8500]

@@MIKE-ej6ud So you sold a Fender and bought a Fender? ;o)

[@MIKE-ej6ud]

@@joebryant8500 lol, I sold a Fender Mustang that was a great little guitar but was collecting dust compared to my Tele and Strat. I don't know why I got the Mustang anyway. But I haven't picked up either Fender since I got the Gretsch......which technically, is owned / marketed by Fender. 🎸🎵

Started on an old streamliner in the 90's, bought a 6120 in the early 00's and am now a proud white falcon owner. Magical guitars. I won't have anything else as my main guitar.

[@ThatPedalShow]

I so want a White Falcon. Mick here.

John Squire's Gretsch tone on Waterfall makes me weep at its beauty.
