Dan: Can design potentially the most complex footswitcher on the planet, making mere mortals cry at how overwhelming it is (reference: all the G3 vids from yesterday) Also Dan: Can't work out the RC10 and shouts stop at it 12:20
@Redemption Of The Dead Horses for courses mate. I loved A Rush Of Blood To The Head, but not much after that. Yellow is a great song from that album, and of course, The Scientist. I think I'll put it on. 😎
Mick (wearing "FUZZ is all you need" t-shirt): "I'll get rid of all these fuzzes. I don't want fuzz." Seconds later: "Maybe this one." A few more seconds later: "Mythos Golden Fleece - good fuzzy fun." ... A minute later: "OK, signal chain is fuzz-overdrive-fuzz"
An incredibly simple and even stupid premise is turned into an amazingly entertaining and informative demonstration of gear. Your talents and personalities just take it even further... Gentlemen you are both winners!!! What a truly spectacular show!!!
That poor Jem is gonna need a ton of personal therapy and counselling if it ever gets rescued and put in a caring environment (i:e my room next to my purple pete tele) It just needs some attention and to feel needed. Remember a Jem is for life not just for christmas! Seriously thinking of reporting you to The Steve Vai institute for the protection of Jems.
If hamburger is to humbucker as hotdog is to single coil never put ketchup on your Stratocaster. Hope this was helpful, no seriously though you made me lmfao
I once built an all red EVH style board: -EVH Phase 90 -EVH Flanger (35th anniversary red edition) -Wampler Pinnacle -Catalinbread Belle Epoch (red special edition) -TC HOF Mini It was fun and sounded great!
Dan “Doom Looper” Steinhart may have just created a genre of music. The original is always the best. Love you Mick but hard to pass up what Dan just did as a win.
indeed, Dan has definitely pulled some stellar sounds out of his red board. But for me Mick makes the extra point for maybe subconsciously choosing the JHS charlie BROWN which is named that way to honour the BROWN sound of Eddie Van Halen who just left us a few days ago as we all know !!!
TheCodeMonk the “throw me a freaking bone, all I’ve done is gone to the toilet” may be in my top 3 things Mick has ever said. I’m literally laughing right now just thinking about it.
The Looping Doom rig was putting out some truly brutal sounds and is more of a sound I'd go for. However, the Soundtrack Surfy was also a great sounding rig. The Fender amp is awesome.
Dan: "I'm going to need something big and open." Me: "There's a HI-WATT right in front of you!" Dan: "I think it's starting me in the face." Me: "Yes it is!" Dan: pats the HI-WATT Me: punches the air, both hands.
Hi, Malcolm here. Top show this week. I really like these “voyage of discovery “ shows. They’re a laugh, something different and the learning curve is pretty steep without being dry. Learning through play, love it. Nobody does toilet jokes like musicians. Keep up the good work 😎🎵🎶👍
@@joeroy9524 At least 50% of Les Pauls are chambered/weight relieved (aka chamber just without sonic intent.) And chambering is a far cry different than a semihollow in construction.
@@GitShiddy naaah!! We could debate the definitions of “weight relief” vs “chambering” till the cows come home. What is true is that a fair number of Les Pauls made by Gibson USA over the last decade and a half have been weight relieved (they introduced weight relief in 2006 by most accounts) but in the total production of Les Pauls (remembering it’s been in continuous production now for well over half a century) nowhere near 50% of them have been weight relieved. The Jet models by Gretsch, conversely, have always been chambered (true chambering, not just a few holes here and there for weight relief) from the beginning even though Gretsch chooses to call them solid body guitars.
I love how much fun you guys are obviously having with this one. Great show, gentlemen. Sorry to say, Mick, as soon as I saw the HI Gain/POG combo, I knew Dan had this one in the bag.
"Flush button" reminds me of a conversation with someone at Earthquaker Devices long ago where he said he was building a pedal to replicate the sound of his mother's front loading clothes washer. "It chugs along and when you hit the button it goes into spin cycle."
After Dan saying Red by King Crimson was the heaviest song in the world, I was really hoping we'd get a very conceptual board. The looper is red, there are loads of red Buzzarounds, PitchFactor, and any red delay and reverb. EOB strat has the sustainer, and white technically is all of the colours including red. Done!
So good to see you guys having fun making music/noise. Perhaps the limited rigs (and maybe the yellow tape), helped take things a little less seriously .
Yea you did my challenge' Dan & Mick that was so much fun ' you took it to another level. thank you both for all the great entertainment and knowledge of everything guitar
Diamond Compressor; set comp to lowest setting, EQ to 2 o'clock, volume to 1-2 o'clock - been an always on tone shaper for me for over 10 years. That tilt-EQ is a secret weapon for sure, and really handy for balancing pickup EQ on-the-fly between guitars.
I really enjoyed this one. Thanks, you guys. Also, if you haven't done it already, maybe you could do one where you use all the same brand, like all BOSS or all mxr or w\e, and maybe limit it to 4 or 5 pedals or something. My friend and I have been doing a 5 pedal challenge where we can only use 5 pedals to cover everything. Kinda fun. Anyway, thanks for making these videos.
I think this produced my favorite tones and playing from Dan, but that might just be my lifelong post-rock addiction talking. Only things I might have changed in his shoes would be cheating a little bit and using the JAM Delay Llama Supreme in place of the White Whale, and maybe taking a clean-only approach with the Dyna Comp instead of the Suhr (although the Suhr really impressed me).
The CONSTRAINTS of poetry (meter, rhyme scheme, etc) force people to explore further to come up with amazing results. Here, the arbitrary constraint of color forced Dan and Mick to come up with amazing results. One of the best videos ever. MORE arbitrary constraints please!
That. Was. AWESOME!!! Ok, I know I’ve already mentioned the need for a “it’s 2 o’clock somewhere” shirt, but the Charlie Brown just confirmed what we already knew. Love you guys and extra congrats to Dan on the win & G3. Also, I happen to have both the trucker hat AND the shirt Mick’s wearing (mine’s grey)...I can tell you they’re excellent quality. All Love, Aaron
Thanks for a fun show as always. But can I say thanks Dan for playing Black Hole Sun as I’ve never been able to figure it out! It’s so simple and complex at the same time. True majesty
Tons of Fun!!!! Love it that you two guys can laugh and you epitomize that music should be fun, emotional, rewarding, experimental and a joy in its many sonic forms!! Best Regards, James
This is so fun -and so cool. I am thinking that Josh had all of his employees join him in requesting this episode over and over! It is great and you did cool stuff. The Yellow Gaffmaster was nice - but I so thought you'd find a way to go for the Jem!
Great to see the Diamond Comp getting some much deserved love. Such an incredible compressor. Sounds great and doesn't stifle your dynamics like some other compressors I've played.
Thanks Nathan! The reason it’s fun is because it still isn’t a job that pays enough to make it a job. The day it is is the day it dies so we’re resisting that with everything we have!
Dan...you killed it. I always love it when you step out like you did here. You are a very talented girl musician. I love your aesthetic. You chose bravely and made lovely sounds. It was so fun watching you make Mick visibly sick. Tell him to potty first next time you bust out those low octaves. Cheers to both! Keep pushing yourselves, I’ll do the same.
Getting some serious stonehenge vibes from the POG2 at 27:18 ... "In ancient times ... hundreds of years before the dawn of history ... lived an ancient race of people ... the druids..."
Dan, you should have named your sound Dark Pink Floyd...really missed an opportunity there. Seriously though, I've watched every episode and this was one of your best, even though I'm colorblind.
Sorry Mick but not only did Dan put together the better board but he went WAY out of his comfort zone with the ambient/doom vibe and absolutely CRUSHED it. You can't deny him the win on this on.
I love the fact that you were able to get some of the best tones I've heard on this channel while doing this challenge. Sometimes I feel like limitations can really feed creativity in an amazing way. Cheers!
