The woodshedder extraordinaire wows us with playing, tone and insight!
Welcome to the show! We are delighted to welcome our dear chum Andy Wood to Schwangri-La. Andy is a Tennessee-based artist and session/tour guitarist/mandolin player who, in addition to his own solo career, has played with Locash, Scott Stapp and Rascal Flatts among others. He also has a Suhr signature model guitar and a couple of pedals to boot.
His mesmerising playing style is a constantly shifting amalgam of traditional Americana, country and full-bore technique rock: it’s quite the experience as we can attest!
We chat about all kinds of topics today - tone, technique, influences and all the good stuff you’d expect from an extended TPS show.
Please subscribe on YouTube - it’s free and it helps us. And of course…
Please enjoy the show!

Andy’s amp setup today…
Andy runs a stereo rig from his pedals and the G3 switcher. All the pedals go into the front of amps, no effects loops.
Today, one side is a Two-Rock Classic Reverb Signature into a Mesa 212 cab with EVM12L speakers (bottom/closed speaker only).
The other side is a Two-Rock TS-1 combo with a TR1265B speaker.
We set the amps up to sound as similar as possible with plenty of headroom for all of Andy’s pedals to go straight into the front end.

Fancy some vacuum tubes in your overdrive pedal? Step this way…
Welcome to the show. There has been a resurgence in valve-equipped overdrive pedals in recent years. And we don’t mean dedicated preamps – we mean actual, pedalboard-friendly, into-the-front-of-the-amp overdrive pedals.
Regular viewers will know that Dan and I currently have such beasts on our own personal boards, and that a recent guest and dear friend – Mr Chris Buck - has one on his too. What better excuse then to fire up the heaters and start dissipating some voltage? Tube-y or not tube-y… erm, we’ve made that gag before.
Enjoy the show!

![Not A Notaklön [Dans DIY Approach To The Klon Centaur]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kSMwVYOJqKg/hqdefault.jpg "Not A Notaklön [Dans DIY Approach To The Klon Centaur]
Josh JHS Made A Modular Klon Centaur-alike… Can Dan Do The Same?
Welcome to the show! And very possibly the last Klon show we do. For a while anyway. Because the very, very, very clever people at JHS Pedals recently launched the Notaklön, a Centaur-type OD pedal in kit form. Genius idea, genius marketing.
The easy thing would have been to buy one and compare it to Mick’s Klon. But. But but but but but… this is That Pedal Show and we like to be a little more, erm, enquiring. Thusly, Dan has attempted to deconstruct a Klon circuit, using other pedals to try to explain what’s going on.
Can we do it? Why would we do it? Welcome to That Pedal Show.
Enjoy the episode!

Solo sounds, construction and inspiration with a modern British leg-end!
Welcome to the show! Its our great pleasure to welcome back musician, composer, producer and all-round leg-end, Steven Wilson. Dan’s been doing Steven’s touring pedalboard for, ooh, ages, and so he’s dropped in with guitarist Niko Tsonev to tell us about new release, The Harmony Codex, alongside a chat around life, music and everything that goes with it.
Steven and Niko also play through five guitar solo sections from the new record to help us understand a little bit about the process that informs their creativity. Loads of great stuff here, including some fab advice around being a pro player. Enjoy the show!
56:13 The new record is called The Harmony Codex, not Economies Of Scale. Sorry!
