The world’s favourite pitch shifter gets Dan and Mick’d. Oh dear…
Welcome to the show! Get ready for 45 minutes of Dan being genuinely enthusiastic and me wanting the end to come with vengeance and burning hellfire.
The mental states of two middle-aged men notwithstanding, The Digitech Whammy is without question among the all-time classic guitar pedals, put to immense effect via artists as diverse as Tom Morello, John Scofield and Jack White. Its genre-defining pitch shifting initially delivered a glitchy, badly-tracking mess and while the ensuing years have brought a quantum leap in processing power, it is that idiosyncratically unnatural sound of the Whammy that has won it such a vast legion of devoted users.
With that in mind, we we start with a basic introduction to the Whammy before discussing some other ways to introduce real-time pitch shifting to your tones.
Enjoy the show…

A re-evaluation of UA’s amp pedals for Dan & Mick?
Welcome to the show. We are delighted to welcome our good friend Tore Mogensen back to Schwangri-La. We first met Tore many, many, many years ago when he was with TC Electronic. Then a few years back he moved to Universal Audio and set about bringing the recording giant’s guitar pedals to the fore.
While we’ve loved using many of the effects – particularly reverbs and delays – in our studio and on our pedalboards, it’s fair to say that Dan and I don’t really engage with digital amp simulation for two key reasons. First, we both avoid playing quietly at all costs and, second, we are indeed wedded to our beloved tube amps.
So, different day, more volume and somebody who knows them inside out… is this the way to enjoy UA’s digital amp sims?
Oh yeah, and why no MIDI? Let’s find out…
WHY NO DIRECT SOUNDS? Maayyyybe well do it another day. Maybe. Were addicted to speakers and cabinets at appreciable volume. No volume, no happy is the truth.
Enjoy the episode!

The Gov’t Mule & Allman Brothers Band guitarist & singer joins us at Schwangri-La
Welcome to the show. We are thrilled to be joined by Warren Haynes, former Allman Brother and very much current Gov’t Mule! Warren has a stellar reputation as a guitarist, singer and songwriter, not to mention as a tonesmith and appreciator of all things good when it comes to six strings.
He was en route back to the US following some tour dates in Europe, so he stopped in to TPS to hang out and get some tones going.
Warren didn’t have any gear with him – it was all in transit – so he picked up Dan’s Les Paul as his fave of the TPS bunch, and we put a rig together that somewhat resembles the kind of stuff he would typically use. As you’ll hear, fun was had… Enjoy the show!
Big thanks to Jim Walsh for making this happen - cheers buddy!

![How To Use Two Guitar Amps Together [Connections, Phase, Polarity & Why Analog Dry-Through Matters]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LH9FO1EMIPQ/hqdefault.jpg "How To Use Two Guitar Amps Together [Connections, Phase, Polarity & Why Analog Dry-Through Matters]
Using two amps together sounds great, but how do you actually do it?
Welcome to the show. Dan and I pretty much always use two amps on the show, and very often when playing live too. It’s something that countless artists have done down the years… but how do you actually connect them?
In this video we run through the most common and easiest ways to connect two amps together. There are other ways – for example using effects loops, slave/direct outputs and so on – but that’s getting ahead of the scope of this video.
A big part of this video is to do with polarity and phase, which is the most important topic related to using multiple amps. So start by getting your head around that, and move on from there!
Finally, it really doesnt matter what two amps you use! (Erm, just make sure theyre both analogue to avoid phase problems, or indeed two of the same or very similar digital amps. Mixing one analogue and one digital will give you phase problems.)
Enjoy the episode!
If you want a specialist device to connect two amps, it MUST have these two features…
-One of the outputs is ground isolated
-One of the outputs has a polarity flip option
Examples of devices we would recommend:
• TheGigRig Humdinger (and AB Baby, G3, G3S)
https://shop.thegigrig.com/collections/essentials/products/humdinger
• Radial Engineering BigShot ABY
https://www.radialeng.com/product/bigshot-aby
• Bright Onion Active Splitter
https://brightonion.co.uk/products/isolated-active-splitter
There are others, just make sure it has an isolated second out AND a polarity flip switch. Good luck!
