This really makes you question and think about which effects you "need." Sometimes you want a particular sound, but other times you just want some kind of movement/adding of depth, and you see from this episode that a lot of them can work for that.

That part in Won't Get Fooled Again is actually a pre-recorded synthesized track, similar to what they did in Baba O'Riley. Fun fact: In the early 70's footage Pete Townshend can still be seen manually cranking the volume on his amp for solos, then rolling it back off.
The intro of Greenday's - Boulevard of Broken Dreams is a good example of a square wave tremolo.

As I understand it’s that’s an effect in Pro Tools rather than played on the guitar - I believe the band don’t play it live either and rely on a backing tape (my acronym) - so it’s square wave tremolo but not using a tremolo pedal.

That was the first song that came into my mind when they played with that effect.
That movement Dan's talking about with vibrato is something I love to do with tremolo, especially on my acoustic shows. Very subtle, fairly slow. Just makes it sound more alive. First time I ever tried a wet dry rig I used tremolo and a ping pong delay. I sat between both amps while my brother in law played big open chords, and cried. So incredible sounding.

John Squire...a master at using all these effects in the manner you guys explain them individually to fill out a sound in a mix.
I feel the bridge pickup on a strat really comes into its own with modulation
The flanger as a chorus thing is why I love the Deco so much. It can get very chorus like, and even vibey, while also being flangy. I think I just made up a lot of words, but it's just an amazing pedal. Thanks as always for the show.

There was a lot to cover on this subject. I had to watch five times.
I'm going to have to go to a 12 - step program, but this time for Dimension C: - "My Always - On Pedal". It's the sound of my youth. I love what mod effects do to the EQ, & not just the churning & bubbling they're known for.
I use a vibrato in mono, but I run it before a short, subtle delay, and it kinda creates a natural chorus sound that feels less wobbly and structured than a normal chorus pedal. It's hard to shut off once I've started!
To: Dan and Mick Message: Can I make a humble suggestion? Take a look at the Anderton's tone room. They've got warm lamps on and strings of lights. There are warm and bright accents all around their room. The new pedal shed is still looking cold, dark, blue and a bit depressing. That black curtain feels like a dark void encroaching from your left and right and it takes up 1/3 of the total screen. I love your show. Your knowledge and experience have been so helpful to me. I continue to watch because the two of you are great players and I'm always learning. So thanks for that. The room could just be a bit easier on the eyes.

Zinger - Actually I couldn't care less about that. It's more about the psychology of color. Think about how many hours you spend watching TPS. It would be nice if the color scheme wasn't depressing, which it is.
Another thing I really love about Strymon Timeline is it's Dual mode in Parallel mode. On stage I usually go stereo using one main amp with quarter notes + modulations like Tremolo, Filter, Phaser etc. and the other amp with dotted eight notes with a higher mix and more repeats but without any modulation, with kill dry. So basically on the left amp you hear your main delay with modulations and the right amp with ONLY dotted eight notes without the modulation effects. It's literally amazing.
1. The ADA flanger sounded great. Best I've heard of it in a demo. Got to try this out. 2. The big knob on the fuzz with all the little value lines is amusing. My knowledge of geometry tells me it gives no more fine control than any other pot knob, but it is definitely gives an illusion of more control. It is a maths placebo. 3. Another technique is "subliminal tremolo." Set time of tremolo to be on the ones of the measure. You can't really hear it, but it adds movement.
The timing of this was funny because I just discovered the vibrato trick this week with my HX Stomp!
My favorite Chorus was my old Memory Man. Just really thick and dirty. Added a ton of depth to 9th and 13th chords.
The tremolo on "Crimson and Clover" is classic.

John Kelley Brown, oh yeah! Especially on the long version with it added to the vocal as well, just stunning! :-)
The amazing singer/guitarist Taylor Goldsmith from the band Dawes talked about leaving his original VB-2 on during entire gigs on his Rig Rundown.
Johnny Marr just used a regular Fender amp with tremolo, on How Soon is Now, rather than square wave, and played the famous Bo Diddley chug over the top at the same speed as the tremolo effect. There’s a video where he explains and demonstrates it.
I have my vibrato on all the time as well to colour the signal. Then when I go to fuzz tone, I crank up the rate on a low depth and it cuts better than ever. Great stuff Dan.
Mick, I always had trouble with Phaser vs Flanger as well. I think the way I delineate between the two is Flange happens "around" the notes and Phase happens "to" the note. Similarly, I think tremolo and harmonic tremolo act the same. Harmonic tremolo seems to happen "around" the notes and tremolo happens "to" the notes. PS. THAT FLANGER ON THE DELAY REPEATS! glorious glorious glorious. Thanks, guys and cheers!
Went straight to the board after watching this and got a heap of new sounds! A lite Chorus and a bit more modulation on the boss RV-5 and overdrive sounded huge! Even managed to sniff out a new song. Just for the halibut, the octave with the delay time right up on the EHX canyon is not a bad organ! Thanks for the tips guys! Keep up the “ace” work.
Coming from the early 1990s shoegaze crowd, my sound back then was absolutely swamped with VB-2 vibrato, PN-2 tremolo, and CE-3 chorus, all feeding into a PS-2 delay and RV-2 reverb, which then hit my Ampeg VH-140C's reverb and chorus, but on my current pedalboard, the only modulation effect is a tc electronic Shaker vibrato, unless you count my tc electronic Mimiq as a modulation effect. The Boss CE-3 can be used like a VB-2 Vibrato. Just plug into Output A only, and use the Mode II setting, which outputs Wet on A/Dry on B. If I'm not mistaken, the CE-3 and VB-2 use the same Panasonic BBD chipset. That was how I used to simulate that thing Kevin Shields does with the vibrato arm on his guitar whilst strumming, which I could not do, since I played a Rickenbacker 330.
When I found out how close Chorus n flangers are schematically my mind seriously was blown. Science 😄🎸🎛🔊🎼🤟❤️
"Go forth and modulate." Your descriptions are killer! 😂
@ThatPedalShow

Ha! Thank you!
I use chorus to simulate organ sounds too, but also add tremolo. The two together can come very close. The old DOD FX-60 does this well.
The tap-a-whirl is the best tremolo ever. Its the only tremolo that can keep sync by redefining the 1-count by just hitting the tap tempo once. I just wish it had a harmonic mode
Something I figured out the other day: using a tremolo with flanger to create a through-zero-Flanger effect.
I recorded an original song combining a reissue large box deluxe memory man with the vibrato setting of my Redwitch empress chorus and ended up with the most organic chorusing effect I have heard.
The "Jet plane" modulation was done back in the day in one box. Ibanez had the Jetlyzer, which was a drive - fuzz perhaps - and a phaser in the same box. I'm sure there was also a box called the Jetphase which may have been from Roland. Both boxes came out in the late 70's from memory.
I can't tell you how many problems I get when I "bend down to sort my knob out" As always an awesome show gentlemen. B
You guys help me understand how to listen to what the pedals do. Thank you
Great show! The Empress Tremolo2 is also killer - variable waveforms, tap tempo, 8 memory presets, gorgeous sounding analogue signal path, and rhythmic patterns (with different strong/weak beat patterns....something I've never seen on any other term pedal) - highly recommended!

Diamond Trem also great. Only pedal that's never left the board for 10 years! Tap, variable waveforms, momentary switch and boost to compensate for perceived volume loss. Works as gorgeous clean boost too when depth turned down.
I love what you said about the vibrato effect. The Caverns by Keeley does something very similar (the reverb side) and it adds SO MUCH to the sound 🙂🎸
Dan, your playing was so fun to listen to. Thanks.
Great show! I actually have used a phase 90 before the drives for all modulation for years. 1 knob, 1 o'clock for Hendrix and Floyd, turn it way down for Van Halen. It works. I have added tremolo now

Great episode. I struggled with modulation for a while because I always thought it was just doing too much. When you figure out that just a hint can be used in a lot of ways, it’s a great tool
Dan says, "I am rethinking my approach to my organ now!" That's ace. It always needs proper attention says a 50 year old or it can have as many problems as an old an old tape delay. LOL. But seriously, this is another fantastic show. I have a Subdecay Vagabond term/harmonic trem that has an Env Shift knob that allows increases or decreases the speed based on amount of pick attack. Subdecay has some very interesting things, btw.
@51:26 This is how Adrian Belew got the “percussion” sound on “Genius Of Love” by Tom Tom Club.
The Ibanez Airplane Flanger is a copy of Gilbert's vintage ADA Flanger big box. He manually moved the enhance knob for the effect on the original, but the Take Off Mode on the Ibanez simulates it.
This show is so good for all guitar players, but god damn does it hella hook up more advanced players looking to improve the small things ! Thank you so much for the videos!

Yet another brilliant episode guys! I do a similar thing to number 5 with my bass. I put my CE-2W in the CE-1 mode and put the depth to max and rate at minimum. It instantly makes anything sound bigger and better!
My favourite example of awesome tremolo is After Dark by Tito and Tarantula, check out that solo!
Lovely sounds on this one
For #2 organ sound, try using CS1 maxed out into a light over drive and I use the sub n up but most octavers would work ... Then throw on a phaser or flashback and you're in organ y heaven!

If you want to hear some really cool choppy tremolo, check out the intro to Zeus "Are You Gonna Waste My Time". You can hear the rate of the tremolo slowing down until the tremolo disappears when it goes into the second half of the first verse. VERY cool
Great episode! I have my Deja Vibe as the first pedal in my chain. Also, moving modulation pedals around makes for many fun discoveries.
My first amp was an Ampeg VH-140C 2x12 stereo chorus combo, which does its chorus by applying a vibrato to one channel, and I always used it with deep depth and slow rate.
CCR - Born on the bayou was my intro to tremolo. Cuban Slide by The Pretenders is another great trem song.
I had my old Ibanez Flanger up for sale. I ended the sale after watching this! I can't believe I hadn't messed with it more after playing for 35 years now. I was stuck in the Van Halen mode. Now I'm using it more like a chorus pedal. It's like a new toy!

I love this video, it inspired me to think differently about the gear I currently have and set it up in an entirely new way. I'm looking forward to really pushing my creativity with this. I've recently come into possession of an amp with built in tremolo. Using my pedals and such I'll be able to run a wet/dry amp setup. Opening new (to me) tones to create with.
My Happiness by Powderfinger! Great, great song. That riff sounds particularly brilliant when done on an old Maestro phaser!
I loved this show all cool sounds and textures, all done very musical. this I got unlike that show 2 weeks back. As a side note I went and listened to almost all of Radioheads Discograpy and well just not a fan I stopped listening to commercial radio in the 80's. so the only time I hear anything after the 70's is when my wife forces me to listen to it in the car. So maybe I have missed a lot of good music. When you guys play it is very inspiring!!!!
2,3,4 "Won't get fooled again!!"..... clean tone. LMAO!!
You missed one thing, boys! Tremolo with a polyphonic pitch shifter in front! I set my with an octave up and octave down with 50 % blend and with tremolo it sounds kind of like an organ and reminds me a little of the Leslie speaker. It's like the Black Hole Sun verse guitar, only bigger.
That robotic flanger around 51 minutes is amazing! I'm stealing that.

The timestamps are important to someone like me who gets reminded of an interesting sound, then forgets which video it was from. Now i can search on youtube and youtube digs up the descriptions too! Cheers!🍻
my big problem with of 90% modulation/reverb is the loss of attack/transient- I absolutely hate that washed out "messy" flavor to my playing. I always stayed away from reverb pedals until i found the concept of PRE DELAY. that little aspect changed my entire relationship with reverb and now i can pour a bunch on without loss of the note.
I wonder if an aspect of our love for those slightly phased/modulated textures on drive sounds has to do with our expectation of that type of sound from various famous recordings; it seems to me that often time to track guitar and make them sound big you usually intentionally introduce some skewed phase relationship either through double tracking or the physical phenomena of mic placement. Modern recordings that seem to remove all of this sound sterile imo by comparison. Phase never ceases to amaze me as this unique phenomena that sits somewhere in between our relative perception of a thing or sound artifact and the thing itself, I think that’s why it’s so captivating when it’s slightly manipulated, brings this human quality to the sound, that “movement”

I always thought the “my happiness” sound was a chorus on full rate & full depth. I was always able to get a really good approximation of that sound on my old Marshall valvestate that had onboard chorus
My first pedal as a teenager was an early 80s Yamaha flanger, weird pick perhaps but had such a dramatic sound and could go from light chorus to jet plane madness. They had this amazing master chassis that you could screw every pedal in the Yamaha range into (with no need for patch cables) it probably cost a million bucks at the time :)

Completely unrelated to todays video but I thought I'd let you guys know that I just finished a telecaster build inspired by Red. A Cady Apple red warmoth telecaster with a broadcaster bridge pu and a twisted tele neck. Maple neck instead of rosewood. Looks great sounds great and makes me smile!
Great show again lads. I’m a tremolo nut and I love Phaser/Filter effects... when are JHS or Keeley or Boss going to make you a D&M modulation pedal? Harmonic Trem on one side for Mick and Electric Mistress style Flanger on the other for Dan - The “Mod You Later” maybe?
Greatest flänger song of all time by Mr Blackmore "Man on the silver mountain", which often played live by Mr Gilbert...
Haven't watched it yet and I already know that this is RIGHT up my street. 😊
Guys, thank you for everything you do! You’ve been instrumental in my electric guitar journey (and acoustic too actually). I have a cellist friend who has just discovered electric cello, specifically 2cellos and I’m planning to direct him to you, and a video like this will hopefully help him understand some of the basics. Along those lines, I also work with some young guitarists starting out, what would you guys think of a quick overview video of all of the basic effect sounds so the young folks can direct their rabbit trails?
