The mighty Boss re-enters the boost market in a big way
Welcome to the show and welcome to Effector Du Jour. These are Short videos that are as to-the-point as That Pedal Show is ever likely to get.
The Boss BP-1w Booster Preamp was launched not so long ago (I’m typing this in February 2024) and seems to have gone down really well for its ability to offer three distinct flavours of boosty goodness.
Today I’ve got it hitting a fairly cooking Fender ’65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue - volume set between 4.5 and 7 - to see what we can learn. I’ve also included the ever popular and much loved Exotic EP Booster (in standard dip switch settings) for a little bit of context.
Clearly it’s going to sound very different into different amps, so please take this for what it is, rather than what it isn’t!
Enjoy!

Loads of fantastic tones and advice from one of the best in the business
Welcome to the show. We are delighted to welcome our dear chum Ariel Posen back to Schwangri-La. Canadian singer-songwriter and of course monster guitar player, Ariel has carved out a stellar reputation over the last decade or so for his unique approach to the instrument and writing.
He joins us during a UK Tour in October 2024, as we go over his current pedalboard and rig, take in a new Fender Custom Shop guitar and get plenty of insight into what it takes to play at this level.
As this video goes live, there’s still chance to see Ariel on the current tour.

We know, one minute isnt enough for a pedal demo. But lets try anyway…
Hello friends, welcome to That Pedal Show.
Dear Daniel is away in Australia, but at this time of year we like to give away a bevvy of effectors to our Active Patrons On Patreon. I thought Id plug in and give em a whirl before we give em away!
And, ahem, borrow some of Dans lovely guitars too!
If youre an active paying Patron, youll get an email on how take part. If youre not, sit back and enjoy the tones anyway. Maybe theres a kernel of an idea of how to do new pedals here… albeit one minute is probably pushing it a bit!
A MASSIVE thank you to all the companies involved for allowing us to give their pedals away. Not least Mikey Demus for his awesome cameo (show coming early January 2024). THANK YOU!

![Tame The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe! [Or Any Loud Clean Guitar Amp With An FX Loop]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mF3qR2xPLII/hqdefault.jpg "Tame The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe! [Or Any Loud Clean Guitar Amp With An FX Loop]
Welcome to the show! Today’s video is about offering some solutions to a real-world issue faced by many people - taming volume in a loud clean amp, but retaining a little bit of feel and dynamics. We’re using the specific example of the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III - an extremely popular and great sounding amp… but a goodly number of people have struggled with the somewhat all-or-nothing volume control.
It should also be said, however, that these approaches will work with any loud clean amp that has an effects loop.
I just want to make it clear - Mick here - that nobody is saying the Hot Rod deluxe sounds ‘bad’ or that this is a universal ‘problem’. It is simply to offer some approaches to a different tone and feel if you’re either: a) struggling with that, or b) just fancy trying something a little different.
We also know that the HRD IV (latest version as of July 2023) addresses this issue somewhat. Nevertheless, it’s still bloomin’ loud and attacking for a lot of people.
Would we rather crank it? Yes. Do we think it sounds better much louder? Yes. But this is for the times when that isn’t possible…
Can you mod it? Yes. Are there other ways to do it? Yes. These are just some relatively easy ideas to try.
Finally, you might be confused about the volume you’re hearing in your headphones / monitors, because the quiet sounds are relatively loud too. Ie, you won’t perceive the GIANT volume differences that Dan and I are experiencing in the room. That’s because if we’d kept the recorded levels the same, the quiet sounds would just sound rubbish and relatively inaudible. So in the recording, I make the quiet bits louder so you can hear the tone clearly. If you want to understand the relative volume differences, look at the DB meter when it’s in shot. Hope that explains it!
Enjoy the show!

Dan undertakes an epic board build from scratch for our good friend Jack
Welcome to the show! There are times in life when you just need to start from scratch. This is one such time for our good friend Jack Griffiths, who has recently quit the day job - you may know him from Peach Guitars - to go all-in as a professional musician.
Jack approached Dan for a TBB - Total Board Build - to give him everything he might need in terms of compression, gain stages, modulation, delay and reverb… into either regular guitar amps or direct to DAW/desk. It’s a big job, but somebody’s gotta do it!
Sit back, grab a beverage of your choosing and enjoy watching Jack’s dream board come into being.
Enjoy the episode!

![Are Two Amps Better Than One? [TPS Wheel Of Challenge For Challenges!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nAVLfJ6PRSg/hqdefault.jpg "Are Two Amps Better Than One? [TPS Wheel Of Challenge For Challenges!]
Four awesome & unusual amp pairings
Welcome to the show. We often get asked which guitar amps pair well together, given that we usually use two. Now it would be easy to pick some old faves and get busy with the noise… but today we wanted to mess about with some stuff that we don’t normally use.
You’ll get the drift as we get going. So are two amps better than one?
Let’s find out…
Todays amps
Electro-Harmonix MIG-50
A modern reissue of the classic Sovtek MIG-50. People say they’re like a Tweed Bassman. We wouldn’t completely disagree. It uses two 5881 power valves.
Hello Sailor Shipwreck
A one-off build inspired by the famous Trainwreck amps, using four EL84s in the power section. Joe built it as a bit of fun and kindly gifted it to us. We’re loving how harmonically rich it is, especially under overdrive! Thank you Joe.
Hagerman Half Watt
We were introduced to Jim Hagerman via our good friend Gordon Rankin. Jim makes really lovely tube things. The Half Watt actually reaches the giddy heights of 1.5 watts when it’s flat out – a complete valve guitar amp that also has a useful headphone out. You might think it’s a toy… we can see this in any studio.
Victory V4 The Copper Guitar Amp
Slight potential for confusion here as Victory also makes a V4 The Copper tube preamp only… but this guitar amp version adds a class D power section to make it a complete guitar amp. There are four little tubes up front, plus on-board Two-Notes cab sim technology if you want to do the direct thing.
Laney Supergroup Mk I 50-watt
This 1969 beauty belongs to our good friend Paul Stacey. He’s a massive fan of these old Laneys, which he tends to use in combination with a Marshall Plexi. He brought it here for us to listen to… and has yet to take it back. Two EL34s, totally old school. Crank it and be rocked.
Philmosound
We met Phil Harris at a TPS Band show in Leicester. Phil has done a bunch of projector amp conversions – this one is currently on loan to us – and he’s keen to point out this is less ‘conversion’ and more ‘complete rebuild!’. It uses a pair of 6V6GTs in the power section with a 5Z4GT rectifier, alongside some rare/out of production valves… some of which were used in the Colossus computer at Bletchley Park! Thank you Phil, it is a wonderful thing to play!
Two-Rock Joey Landreth Signature
A true colossus of a guitar amp, Joey’s signature tone-machine uses a quartet of 6L6 power tubes for 100 watts, with both tube-driven harmonic AND bias tremolo on board. Oh, and a stunning spring reverb. This is Joey’s actual amp that he uses when touring in the UK and Europe. We are extremely lucky that it lives at TPS. Big love mate!
Wallace AC 5075 XT/FV MkIII
This was gifted to us by John Box before he died in 2021. Ted Wallace was a British electronics engineer whose amp building dates back as the late 1930s! By the mid-60s his amps were in a bunch of serious studios, used by a glittering array of artists.
After doing some reading, we think this one is probably from the 1970s. The ‘XT’ amps were later in Ted’s career, especially the ones with built in fuzz like this. Sadly, as you can hear in the video, the amp needs some serious TLC.
Erm, also nothing to do with the Wallace amp brand in the US.
