That Pedal Show | Because Everyone Needs A Ring Modulator For Guitar [Robot Sounds - With Band Jams & Everything!] @ThatPedalShow | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
The most universally hated guitar effect of all time for guitar?
Welcome to the show! Mick here. I have been binge-listening to Wayne Krantz these past weeks. And every now again, up pops this crazy robot sound in his music… which I know is a ring modulator, but that neither Dan nor I have really explored. And then there’s Joey Landreth who, as usual, did things that defy explanation and understanding is this show here: youtu.be/KB5akEKrIRE
Like two Labrador puppies following some ripping Rottweilers, we have acquired three Modulators Of The Ring Kind and we’re going to attempt to: a) understand them, and; B) see if there’s anything remotely musical to be achieved here today. To whit, we’ve asked our old mucker and long-suffering TPS Drummist, Dougie Mussard, to join us for the afternoon and whack out some beats. Let’s see what happens…
Erm, Exterminate!
Enjoy the show…

A much overdue catch up with Chris and a listen to his latest rig
Welcome to the show. It’s our great pleasure to welcome back our good mate Chris Buck to the show. When we first met many years back, Chris was cutting his pro-guitar-life teeth on the way up through the obligatory mix of originals and cover gigs to make ends meet. With sustained effort via YouTube and of course his fantastic band, Cardinal Black, Mr Buck is now enjoying a much bigger profile in the guitar world as CB album #2 is poised for release in Autumn 2024.
In this video we catch up on the realities of band life, check out Chris’s new-old amps and, of course, have a whip through his latest pedalboard… complete with new signature valve overdrive from Thorpy FX, the Electric Lightning.
Enjoy the episode!

Four Uni-Vibe-style pedals that are new to us, alongside one of our current faves
Welcome to the show! Today we’re embarking on a rip-roaring romp through a bunch of the ‘latest’ Uni-Vibe-style pedals to arrive with us. Yes, we knowthat banging through Hendrixisms is old hat… and that there are endless digital versions of this sound that do a decent job. But to hell and damnation with all of that. This is That Pedal Show, so it’s loud, analogue and rooted deeply in the kind of bone-shaking rock’n’roll that’s going to get you into trouble. Erm, even sat on stools… on YouTube. Ahem. Born to be mild?
Enjoy the show!

Doing the unthinkable, or a sensible upgrade? Mick is in no doubt…
Welcome to the show. Something slightly different this week to see us over the British summer.
This lovely vintage guitar has a tonal Achilles heel and I’m determined to repair it.
I’ve taken the opportunity of some time off to really get into this project – stuff like this is time consuming mentally and physically and I don’t want to rush it. So yes, it’s a loooong and drawn-out video, the absolute opposite of the fast-and-simple delivery that this medium typically demands. No apologies.
If you do want to skip to get the the action however – I totally get it – I’ve made the chapter sections nice and detailed.
Enjoy if you dare!

Everyone should have at least one boost. Here’s why…
Welcome to the show! We’ve done a number of shows on boosts in the past, but here’s an update using some recent additions to the market that have a range of super useful features and sounds.
Why choose a boost? Well, at its simplest, a booster will give you ‘more’, but perhaps a better question is, ‘What do I want to boost, and why?’. These eight pedals offer different answers to that, whether you want to achieve more tonal range from the guitar, send your overdrive pedals into the next level or indeed push your amp into more overdrive.
We hope you enjoy the sounds and feel inspired to try some of these applications for a boost pedal.
JAM RATTLER CORRECTION. Mick here - apols, I said the up position on the switch boosts treble, but it actually attenuates high end a little bit. Sorry all!
Enjoy the show…
