Origin Halcyon, Wampler Moxie, Kernom Ridge & Tone City Kaffir Lime take on Mick’s favourite 808…
Welcome to the show! Mick here, hello. Regular viewers will know that the not-so-humble Ibanez Tube Screamer is my favourite overdrive ever, erm, probably. And it’s a long-standing joke in the Pedalverse that the world really does not need any more TS-derived pedals. Nevertheless, companies keep releasing them, not least Wampler and Origin Effects with whom we’re chiefly concerned today. Chuck in the bonkers-value Tone City Kaffir Lime and the boundary-breaking Kernom Ridge and we’re ready to launch the Good Ship TPS onto the stormy Yet-Another-Tubescreamer-Video seas.
Setting our bearing for tone, we shall navigate using Mick’s Keeley modded TS808 and see if we can avoid a Dan-overboard situation, given that he really doesn’t like classic TS pedals… and bring this badly listing analogy to dry dock. What?!
Both amps are running all the time, just for the record.
Enjoy the show!

Dan + Gretsch + Halcyon was a really great sound. When Mick switched it off briefly, it sounded almost dead, then magic when he turned it back on. Great job Dan!

@davidevans3175 Год назад

Tube Screamers are not the right tool to help Dan build the Dan universe. You can analyze the frequencies to figure out why but the bottom line is they do not create Danville. It's as simple as that.

@Burnt_Gerbil Год назад

Danville?! I grew up near there in California. Interesting. 🤔

@cortmiller Год назад

I really really love the halcyon with my tele. I don’t play strats as often but do use my tele a lot. And switch between the halcyon and an nordland odr-c (odr1 )and just got a Kingsley harlot. . I actually notice the dry blend more useful when you have the drive set pretty high and less at lower gain settings. I keep finding new ways to tweak the halcyon all the time. Great show as always guys

@agriff4795 Год назад

I can definitely see(hear?) why you love Tube Screamers so much Mick! That sounded so awesome just using that pedal (with all knobs at 2 O'clock, of course) into those 2 amps. Great show as always, Cheers Guys!

Mick, you actually are the reason I have a Keeley Red Dirt. When Dan was fiddling with the knobs and switching back and forth you actually said something along the lines of "Where you switching? I couldn't hear the difference." I said, if it sounds good to him, must be a winner. True or not, it's a great drive.

I know that there seems to be a consensus that maybe we don't need another TS style pedal. However, between the playing you do, the guitars, amps and gear you have, what a great opportunity this is to hear these little differences and nuances in such a high fidelity experience! I love it and I learned so many great things. I have a tele and hb guitar (uh, it's a Hello Kitty strat from kids years ago - but is ace), but am a strat guy. My TS is a Soul Driver (I know, "economy" kind of clon-ish thing) and a SD1w. As much as I loved all of this, I am happy to find out I am happy with my own version - but I love yours!!! Did I mention the playing? LOVE IT!!!!!

@RichardReneeRachel Год назад

Love your show. Always exciting on Friday mornings to see what you’re gonna cover this week! I’ve been meaning to add this comment for months - How cool would it be if you gave us a shot of the amp dials to see how the amps are set up? Very few folks on YT do this; it would differentiate you and massively help us watchers to see how you get these glorious tones out of the amps you use! When you mention the amps, give a shot of the settings. Simple! Thanks for considering.

@vincet68 Год назад

I love that, whenever it gets painfully loud in the room, Dan always ends up playing licks that will make the pain the worst it can be (often the double stops up around the 13th fret) - his signature song should be “Hurts So Good”!

@adrianjewell5995 Год назад

Made do with a Mooer Green Mile for a long time, then bit the bullet & bought an Ibanez Tubescreamer Mini. Tried it for a week & gave up & sold it. Luckily the Mooer hadn’t sold, so went back to it & love it. Just shows that the cheap ones aren’t necessarily crap. Tubescreamers to my ears don’t suit Telecaster bridge pickups, but are glorious with Tele neck pickups. For the bridge pickup I prefer the Nobels ( as do most of Nashville , apparently) Love the show & appreciate what you do

@houseofshred3725 Год назад

It is, indeed, still the king. Honestly though, in my experience, once the amp's cooking, the little differences between examples of any category of pedal matter a lot less. A lower noise floor, a quieter footswitch, more sturdy jacks and pots, better looks might be worth paying more for, but $300 (more than the Kernom Ridge) for the Halcyon is cramming-spaghetti-in-your-eye-sockets crazy considering how well the budget option fared in this comparison. YMM inevitably V. EDIT: Excellent work per your usual, guys! Thanks for all your hard work!

My favorite tube screamers (and I've owned many): TRADITIONAL - Retro-sonic, like an 808 a bit more presence, but still very faithful. MY FAVORITE - TS-9B - bass tube screamer, has mix control and bass/treble controls - really great for guitar. Maybe That Pedal Show could do a show on bass pedals for guitar?

Totally agree with Mick...I bought the Hudson Broadcast and then the Sidecar as an afterthought. Wow. Love the Broadcast but the Sidecar blew me away. It is by far my favourite overdrive.

@johnsawyer6145 Год назад

I recently sent my TS-808 off to Analogman for the “Silver” upgrade. It came back with a certain special “something” that makes it less eardrum-breakingly-nasal-sounding. Those mids can be so potent! Great work, once again, Gentlemen! Peace!

Thats why, people like Dan "connect-more" with the Moxie or Halcyon - some of those nasal-mids are capable of being tweaked. So perhaps we do need more TS pedals ??? (it never ends)

@Sailor_Man_Music Год назад

See I don’t understand in using the TS as a boost. Especially going into the MG. I’ve done it doesn’t change anything. Flipping the switch on the MG makes more of a difference. The one on the side too. How big of a venue are you playing that you have to boost an MG. I’m just asking cause I hook mine up to to an old JTM45 Marshal that a buddy of mine has, and it rocks. The Marshal amp looks to be 100 years old lol. But it still sounds pretty good.

Yes tube screamers have their respective place, however it becomes like shuffling the deck a bit too much and a captive audience has already antied up.

@goodknight37 Год назад

I used to have multiple “tubescreamers”. I had a definite favorite with my rig. I then went a different direction, and switched main amps. I now only have one tubescreamer and rarely use it. Every piece of gear is entirely dependent on the rest of your setup, from strings, to speaker.

My overdrive world opend up with Bluebreaker and Klon style ODs. And my biggest surprise came when i got a TC MojoMojo, the first time i was totally pleased with my sound. Even i own two Ibanez TSA 30 tube amps, i never use the built in TubeScreamers, but they are a great clean platforms with a clean built in incredible Boost function. So no more TS experiments for me.

That strat/TS tone at start of the video was absolutely fantastic! Who wouldn't want that sound?? Having said that, I'm not sure if this is where Dan is coming from, but there are times when the TS doesn't quite do it, and I don't have the vocab to explain why. Just to give one example of many, say you're going after the Thin Lizzy sound from the Live and Dangerous era, I don't think the TS does it (but happy to be proven incorrect on that one).

I am apparently allergic to fuzz. Sincerely. I don't get it, don't like it, will never use it.

@darwinsaye Год назад

@@maxpeck4154 Fuzz is more accurate to the sound if you crank an old tube amp to its breaking point. Listen to to someone demoing a Fender Tweed Deluxe and then someone demoing a fuzz like a Fuzz Face. Almost identical. That’s it’s appeal for me and probably for others. Tube Screamer type pedals attempt to create a “corrected” driven amp sound, where the bass is cut so it’s not flubbing out, and the treble is cut, and everything is “tight” and mids focused. To me TS pedals sound nothing like the real sound of a cranked amp; it’s flat and 2 dimensional sounding. Each appeals to different people.

@maxpeck4154 Год назад

@@darwinsaye Exactly. You're probably right about fuzz. It's all subjective. I played black Fenders for years with a TS and thought it was the best thing on earth until I heard and actual overdriven amp in person. Bought a low wattage combo with power scaling/voltage regulator (NOT an attenuator) and haven't used a single pedal since except for reverb. I'll never go back to getting my tone from pedals. Don't need 'em.

@cowieson Год назад

@@maxpeck4154 For what it's worth, IMO fuzz face style fuzzes into already overdriving amps is pretty much the fuzz happy place, so given your current setup it might be worth trying a fuzz face style fuzz in front (especially if you roll your volume knob on your guitar to clean it up) - truly glorious tones await!

@stevesalazar9658 Год назад

@That Pedal Show , Here's a Q for you Mick. If your 808 went down & you needed that TS sound for the gig, do you go Mini TS or The Moxie?

@chrisegg7936 Год назад

if anyone's interested in a pretty heavily modified and not too expensive "boutique" tube screamer, hungry robot's "mosfet screamer" is usually floating around on reverb for less than $200.

@DrKevGuitar Год назад

The Xotic BB preamp is a tube screamer and massively underrated as such. I know most people think it's a blues breaker-style pedal, but the circuit is an almost perfect copy of the TS circuit with a Baxendall tonestack tagged on after a fixed value tone resistor and bigger value gain pot for more drive. Dan can keep his tele top end, and dial the mud out of the low end.

@darwinsaye Год назад

All it takes to make a Tube Screamer style pedal decent in my opinion is a proper EQ stack. I find it absolutely ridiculous in this day and age that companies will still put out drive pedals with just a tone knob, and the public goes mad for them.

@thedadbodproject1436 Год назад

Some of us are simple minded and like the directness of a tone knob. I admire those who want more granularity but personally I want as few things to tweak as possible 😊

@DrKevGuitar Год назад

@@thedadbodproject1436 I agree. Not every pedal will suit everyone, some people will like more control but again, the designer builds what they like for that pedal, which is of course informed by precedent too. A lot of varying tones can come from one knob, (which on pedals are not usually the basic passive high cut like in guitars) and can be quite complex.

@StevenHadfield Год назад

Presumably very similar to the Digitech Bad Monkey then.

Fender should be doing a reissue of that 1970 gold strat!! What a gem. Great playing Mick.

Thanks Mark! Please ignore that other comment - it was spam!

😆Hence my very Australian comment back to the spam!! Merry Christmas to all of you at TPS and thanks for all you do.

DAN! That Gretsch is magnificent! I love Red and Butters, but damn dude you gotta play it a bit more! P90's are they the most underrated pickup design?? Chris Buck's Yamaha with the P90's is pretty special. Anyway, thanks for the great content fellas! :D

Mick and Dan are legit guitar influences on me and many of my comrades. Mick's blues rock chops are extraordinary and Dan's Jazz-by-way-of-XTC chordal vocab and fretboard meanderings are impressive and have pushed me out of my "pentatonic and a couple of modes" comfort zone. I still suck (and am now partially blind in one eye which does not help) but I suck in a more interesting way. It's not easy being green, but I do like the Moxie. However, my TS choices are pretty set in stone : Way Huge Green Rhino Mk. IV and Xotic AC Booster (inspired by a TS but heavily modified). Into a Vox I like Keeley's Red Dirt Germanium.

I thought a TS was the last thing I would need, playing a les paul into a tweed-deluxe-ish amp... plenty of mids already right?? then I tried the vemuram 808(clone) and now I love it.

@ryansecrist9526 Год назад

I struggle with the TS pedals as well. The Keeley Aria (Comp and Red Dirt) helped me get over it with the compressor in front.

Great videos as always, i use 2 types of tubescreamers my original ts808 from 1980 , and an original st9 from 1983 (super tube screamer) has 2 op amps and a mid control , was just wondering why you guys have never had one on the show ? I dont use any other gain pedals other than these 2 tubescreamers going through my original fender deluxe and princeton reverb ,and my 63 / 67 strat,

@simondixon6761 Год назад

I agree with Dan that the tele doesn't always sound good with a regular tube screamer.

@pauldeatherage6112 Год назад

Love that green strat

@jottieman Год назад

Yes.. yes you do !

@FatBoyJimnr1 Год назад

I thought the moxie was based on the mostortion not the tubescreamer! Am I wrong about that?? By the way, fantastic show guys, great job, fantastic tones and merry christmas my dear pedaloholic friends!! BEST REGARDS FROM SWEDEN // Jimmy

@elijahwheatcraft869 Год назад

Yeah I'm pretty sure the Moxie is a modded TS10.

@tonebender69 Год назад

Classic tone is Strat, Fender, tube screamer (SRV). Strat, fuzz face, Marshall (Hendrix). Most guitar players love and respect these. I own both of the tones and it is just really special to play behind in all it's glory.

@ThatPedalShow Год назад

Us too! Those are the tones!

@S.K.166 Год назад

Awesome show as usual!!! Maybe in the same vein as black panel, a rebrand to "makrut lime" or "lime leaf" instead of "kaffir"?

I recently(three days ago) found a Redbox Timmy, which I thought was cool because I rarely see it in red. I think I’ve found my *perfect* OD. I love the setting with the toggle on the “up” position. Bass cut off, treble cut at like 9 o’clock, gain around 10 o’clock volume at 2. I follow it up with the new Duke of Tone set on the boost setting, gain all the way down tone at moon volume at around 3 closer to 4 o’clock. All going into the front of my blues jr set to just before the start of breaking up for my “dry” side. My other amp is a vibrolux with reverb and space echo delay, a Julia, and a Uni-Vibe because I like when it’s doing it’s thing. Though I tend to use the amps vibrolo much more often….. again, sorry about the bad news, didn’t mean to be a Debbie Downer.

@kylebollendorf4856 Год назад

Is yours the red sparkle version? I have one…they were a special run for Mass Street Music. Best OD I’ve ever owned, I’ll try your settings. I tend to use it with toggle in the middle and all knobs around 10 o’clock

@smelltheglove2038 Год назад

@@kylebollendorf4856 no, mines just like a candy apple red V2. Got it for a steal from my local shop. Apparently a guy came in with around 50 pedals and they called me up and let me know to get first dibs and gave me a fantastic deal on a few of them. I love having that relationship with a local retailer. It helps that I’ve bought both a Gibson CS 335 and a CS strat in the past six months from them and that vintage drip edge vibrolux. A quick note, I was playing my strat with those settings. I’m more where you are at while playing anything with humbuckers. Though I still like the volume at around two. It’s just over parity with the amp volume.

@christianwoo8082 Год назад

I need more of that jet. It's my favorite guitar on the show.

@ThatPedalShow Год назад

Such a cool guitar innit. Mick here. :0)

@Javier-qk7ms Год назад

Thanks to pedals now I have synesthesia. Green for overdrive, blue for modulation, etc.

@larsfocken3456 Год назад

I like the TS-9 more than the TS-808 and my favourite version is the Maxon OD-9. It sounds exactly like my old TS-9 from 1983 and has the same housing.
