April 22, 2018 The Story Of Mick’s Two-Rock Classic Reverb Signature
Mick talks about – and plays – his Two-Rock Classic Reverb Signature. He got the amp part way through 2017 following a very long journey, much soul searching and a little bit of luck here and there!

April 21, 2018 Matt Schofield: Tone, Technique, Amps & Pedals
We’re honoured to get a visit from our good friend, Matt Schofield. Matt is an astonishingly good blues-based player from the UK who we’ve known for many years.
This first aired as a video on our YouTube Channel, July 14 2017. https://youtu.be/shAtnDUXGlQ
These days Matt spends most of his time in the US, never ceasing to astound fans and audiences with his incredible touch, tone and sophisticated approach to blues guitar.During this pedcast we ask Matt about his approach to guitar tone, his technique and all that other fun stuff that goes hand-in-hand with it. Matt brought along his pedalboard, his SVL 61 guitar and of course his signature Two-Rock amplifier, leaving us somewhat stunned – there’s some killer playing, but also some really good general advice on tone and approach in this video. Enjoy the episode!
FOR MORE ON MATT PLEASE VISIT http://www.mattschofield.com/
A NOTE ON NOISE AND HUM…For this episode, Matt had his Two-Rock at proper gig levels. It is a phenomenal sonic and physical experience (which bizarrely never sounded painful or unpleasant) that’s all part and parcel of his tone. As a result, there is more hum and extraneous noise than normal (Dan is currently building Matt a new board to help with that, but that’s another story). The important thing to say is that we use NO hum reduction software or anything of the kind. What you’re hearing is the vocal mic (gained very high to pick up the voices, plus plenty of compression) get faded up and down as Matt speaks. It gives an accentuated impression of the hum, even though it was pretty loud in our little room. When the amp mics are on, we use NO hum reduction, it’s just that the mic on the cab is gained so much lower than our voice mic, so the hum doesn’t seem anywhere near as loud. Hope that makes sense.

April 21, 2018 Joey Landreth & Harmonic Tremolo
We take a fun journey through vintage harmonic tremolo with our great friend Joey Landreth.
This episode first aired on our YouTube channel 11 August 2017. https://youtu.be/FDRHDy9GI-M
Along the way we take in a couple of cool new OD/fuzz pedals on Joey's new board too. If you don’t know who he is, head to iTunes/Spotify/wherever right now! Or www.joeylandreth.com
The harmonic tremolo effect featured in a handful of Fender amps from the early/mid sixties. It differs from ‘normal’ amplitude-varying tremolo in that different frequencies of signal are modulated in slightly different ways. It gives a slightly more modulated, almost swirling sound that you can hear put to incredible effect in this episode.
To whit, we compare the in-built harmonic trem from a genuine 1960 Fender Super with a Walrus Audio Monument pedal version as an intro to the whole deal.Also in this episode is a lovely 1966 Fender Twin, but we swap that out for a Victory V40 Deluxe and get some crazy dual-tremolo action going (we couldn’t turn the Twin’s tremolo on properly – arrrghhh!).
MASSIVE thanks to Jack at Origin Effects for bringing the old amps along. MASSIVE thanks to Joey Landreth for being Joey Landreth. We also would like to send some MASSIVE thanks to Tom Waterman from Universal Audio, for help with our continuing experiments to sound better, here courtesy of an Apollo 8p interface running some Neve and SSL channel amplifier/strip plug ins. Mmmmmm.

April 21, 2018 Graham Coxon On Life, Music, Gear & Inspiration
In this episode we welcome the wonderful, enigmatic and popular-music-changing Graham Coxon to the show.
This first aired March 9 2018. https://youtu.be/_ijyk89uOCI
Graham is a founding member of legendary British band, Blur who reigned alongside Oasis at the top of the 1990s Britpop scene. They’ve sold millions of records and go down as one of the most famous and successful British bands ever. Graham also has a successful solo career and he does soundtracks too. Coxon’s unorthodox, visceral approach to guitar and music is influenced by – and continues to influence – a long line of alternative players who eschew a traditional scales-and-‘correct’-technique approach in favour simply whatever works best in the context of the music. Quite a bit of this video centres around that whole discussion as it unfolds into a fascinating and inspiring insight into what's going on inside his head. Recollections of a few classic Blur guitar moments are the icing on the cake. Please note that there’s not a huge amount of playing in this video. That Pedal Shed is entirely out of context with Graham’s usual worlds of all-encompassing live performance, immersive songwriting and in-the-moment recording.He is a true artist and we thank him warmly for his insight and candour… and of course his colossal contribution to British music.
We asked Graham if he’d like to plug any current activity. He’s way too modest for all of that, so please check out www.grahamcoxon.co.uk and sign up to his newsletter to find out what’s going on in his world.
Meantime, enjoy the podcast…

April 21, 2018 Introduction To MIDI For Guitar Pedals
We delve into the near-limitless possibilities that MIDI brings to the guitar pedal world.
This episode was first published on YouTube 20 April 2018. https://youtu.be/LfTwFIiEUUc This is simply the audio from the show - we've been asked a lot for a podcast version!
It’s a big subject with a tremendous number of potential applications, so we start from the beginning and explain the three basic functionality benefits that MIDI offers to pedal users. They are PCM (patch/program change messages), CC (continuous control) and MIDI Clock.The upshot is that if you have MIDI-enabled pedals and some form of MIDI controller you can access a vast number of patch and parameter changes across multiple devices with one single footswitch press.Please note that this video is focussed on the kind of pedals we use – high quality stompboxes, preferably with as much analogue signal path as possible. Regular viewers will know that we’re not into digital multi FX, rack gear or digital modelling amps/processors. They can all benefit from MIDI control as well of course, but we don't deal with them here.
