That Pedal Show | Best Ever Analogue Delay? [Boss DM-101, Carbon Copy, Suhr Discovery plus DD-200 & TimeLine] @ThatPedalShow | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Boss's analogue mega machine has changed the game. But do you want to play?
Welcome to the show! “Harumph!”, we hear you cry. “Another mega delay, really?!” Well, this one is genuinely different, using eight BBD chips to create a true stereo, programmable, MIDI-enabled ANALOGUE delay. This hasn’t been done before with this feature set, in this format.
Now, there are plenty of demos of the DM-101 already out there on the ‘Toob, but we’re hoping to add some more useful questions to the mix. Hopefully those questions will, ahem, echo the main questions that you may have…
Please enjoy the show.

We explore the bite, grit and rasp of 10 ferocious fuzzes!
Welcome to the show. Every now and again Dan and I like to check out a bunch of new-ish guitar fuzz pedals. Now we understand that fuzz isn’t for everyone. The gritty, raspy nature of the sound can feel like a desecration of the instrument we know and love.
For many others however, the savage sonic assault of a well-aimed square-wave is just about as rock’n’roll as it gets: a spitting, belching, slamming wall of noise.
Wherever you stand on the subject, behold these 10 effectors designed to verily knock you right over again!
Enjoy the episode!

![Mick’s Gibson ES-335 Gets New Pickups & Loom [Hardest Pickup Swap Ever?]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Out2LP6Tafc/hqdefault.jpg "Mick’s Gibson ES-335 Gets New Pickups & Loom [Hardest Pickup Swap Ever?]
Definitely a job for an expert… taken on by Mick. Oh dear…
Welcome to the show! Mick here, hello. Grab a beverage of your choosing and get ready to witness THE most frustrating bit of guitar maintenance that I’ve undertaken to date. I mean, why get a professional to do it quickly, cost-effectively and to extremely high quality when I can do it myself, nearly have a breakdown in the process, AND run a huge risk of it not working properly?!
Anyway, yes, I’ve been saying for ages that I’d like to hear some different pickups in the ol’ three-thirty-five, the reasons for which I explain in the beginning of the vid. Then comes the hilariously painful process of actually doing the refit, along with all the ‘doh’ moments and forehead slaps you’d expect… before hearing the old and new electronics back to back.
Was it worth it? I’m still not entirely sure. Hmmmm.
Questions arising…
What about pickup heights?
I set the Lollars to the same height as the Gibson pickups. It might be that their optimum position is elsewhere and that will have a significant impact on the tone. I’ll experiment with that over coming months.
- Is the old loom ’50s wired?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it is. It looks different because instead of doing it in a ‘rigid’ parallelogram, it’s made as one big string to make insertion / retrieval easier (I presume).
- Are we hearing a difference in strings?
I put fresh strings on before recording with the old pickups/loom, and then another fresh set before recording with the new pickups/loom. I recorded each section in the same order, so the string newness should be very similar in the A/B comparisons. My strings are Curt Mangan 10.5-50 that you can find here https://www.thatpedalshowstore.com/collections/guitar-strings
- Why are you wearing headphones in some of it?
So I can hear the backing track.
- Are both amps on?
Yes, both amps are running all the time.
- Have you tried [insert pickup brand and type here]?
Maybe, maybe not. I’m not trying any more pickups. Groan.
Enjoy the show!

Think you know the Big Muff? Try some of these ideas…
Welcome to the show. The classics are classic for good reason, so before we get lost in the world of mods and clones… how about we just listen to the OG?
Today’s pedal is the majestically entendreful EHX Big Muff, a stalwart in a surprisingly diverse range of musical genres for decades now.
We present some things you might know about how to use it, and hopefully a couple that you hadn’t thought of yet.
Yes, I know theres a typo in one of the screens. Welcome to Thta Pdeal Swoh.

![The Perfect Stratocaster Trem / Vibrato Setup [Floating, Flat Or Blocked?]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PjVXWyUGpwc/hqdefault.jpg "The Perfect Stratocaster Trem / Vibrato Setup [Floating, Flat Or Blocked?]
Six-saddle and two-post Fender Stratocaster vibratos - here are three ways to get them working as you want
Welcome to the show! Something a bit different this week as Dan and I ease into a little bit of summer vacation time. A different headspace, if you will.
Now then, I know this has been done to death online but we still get asked for it a lot: just how do you get your traditional Fender Stratocaster vibrato to work (or not work) and stay in tune?
Thusly, this is a personal take on how to approach it, gleaned from years of learning from professional players and techs. It’s highly unlikely there’s any new information here, but I’m taking it slow and doing it in real time so you can see exactly what happens with every adjustment of spring, screw and post.
These methods work for me, I hope they help you and your guitar!
The sounds today are various combinations of the Dan Drive Secret Machine, Kingsley Juggler Mk3, Free The Tone Future Factory Delay, Chase Bliss Audio CXM1973 Reverb and my Two-Rock Classic Reverb Signature head and 212 cab.
I mention Trev Wilkinson a lot - find the company’s wares here: https://wilkinsondirect.com/
