That Pedal Show | Dan Chooses A New Amp For His Wet-Dry Rig [JTM45 Vs Tweed Bassman Vs Sovtek MIG-50] @ThatPedalShow | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
He wants headroom and transients – which amp will Dan choose to pair with his Matchless?
Welcome to the show! This one came about because Dan is moving from a fully wet-dry-wet rig, back to a more ‘simple’ wet-dry situation. Albeit ‘TPS Wet-Dry’ we should say… but don’t get hung up on the definitions. It’s a two-amp rig where the fuzz, drive and distortion goes to both amps, and most of the ‘wet’ effects – reverb, delay, tremolo and so on – only go to one of the amps.
Dan’s Matchless C-30 / ESD212 cab has been his #1 amp choice for years now, but what to pair with it? Three contenders are lining up today; they have a closely shared genesis and evolution, so the comparison should be jolly interesting!
Argh! Bassman or Bass Breaker? I'm confused…
The amp we're using today is a Fender Custom Shop Bass Breaker from 2002. It has nothing to do with the current Bassbreaker series. Ours is a Fender ’59 Bassman amp, exactly as the reissues of the period, albeit in a 2x12 cabinet instead of a 4x10 configuration. We refer to it as a Bassman because that's what it is! Except it's called a Bass Breaker… argh!
Enjoy the show…

Powerful processing meets super-simple interface – but how does it sound?
Welcome to the show and welcome to Effector Du Jour. Short videos, and as to-the-point as That Pedal Show is ever likely to get.
There are LOADS of tape delay simulating pedals out there. Some do it in the analogue world, but far more common is to employ some digital signal processing where names such as the Strymon El Capistan, Catalinbread Belle Epoch and Boss RE-202 loom large.
This is hardly UAFX’s first dive into these waters, but there’s something we just love about the Orions simple form factor and relative lack of bells and whistles.
We have a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo for reference – now I KNOW its not exactly the ‘right’ thing as the Orion is aiming more at a kind of Echoplex EP-3 sound. Nevertheless, it’s some context of actual real tape in the far more common world of digital simulations. Erm, and tubes and analogue preamps.
Enjoy this quick blast - if you want more detail and discussion, watch our long shows. There are plenty of em!

Welcome to the show!
What a trip – we managed to catch up with Foo Fighter & solo artist Chris Shiflett on his recent UK & Ireland tour. Join us in Bristol’s Thekla venue for a listen to his current rig with some Foos chat for good measure.
Huge thanks to Chris and the Shifty crew for making the time, and for making us so welcome. There’s a new record out later this year, but in the meantime make sure you get up to date on the previous two solo records, West Coast Town (2017) and Hard Lessons (2019).

![Les Paul Vs SG [Four Awesome Guitars, Four Classic Amps]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WixK3bzMyS4/hqdefault.jpg "Les Paul Vs SG [Four Awesome Guitars, Four Classic Amps]
What’s your favourite – Les Paul or SG?
Welcome to the show! It’s with some surprise when we say that – despite an embarrassment of lovely electronical guitars – TPS has been devoid of a dual-humbucker Gibson SG to date.
Now then, Mick is in search of just such a beast and thanks to a bit of chance and the generosity of Gibson, we’ve been able to borrow a flippin’ unbelievable Murphy Lab ’64 SG Standard with Maestro Vibrola. Woop!
So let’s do this – two seriously lovely Les Pauls, one jaw-dropping SG and one genuine vintage 1961 Les Paul Junior… played through a genuine ’50s Fender Tweed, a ’60s AC30, reissue Plexi Marshall and a bit of ’80s Boogie gloriousness.
Questions…
• What does R8 and R7 mean?
It’s an unofficial short name for Gibson Custom [Shop] 1958 and 1957 Les Paul models respectively. Full guitar details and names below. R9 would be a 1959 reissue. R0 is a 1960.
• How are the amps set?
- The 1953 Fender Pro-Amp is fully cranked. It’s 18 watts, ish (not 12 like Mick said).
- The 1961 Vox AC30 is in the Brilliant channel, volume at 2 o’clock
- The reissue Marshall 1987x has the channels jumped. High treble at 6, Normal at 5. The Fulltone Tube Tape echo is in the effects loop. It was too kerrrayyzzee in the front.
- The Boogie power amp is set to volume 3 in both channels. High power mode.
Enjoy the show!
