Boss DD-200, Revival Drive Compact, Fender Bubbler, Spaceman Gemini IV - That Pedal Show
This is Pedal Jams, where we feature four guitar effects pedals that are new (to us anyway).
Our agenda is purely to plug them in, see what cool sounds and features we find, and combine them in whatever way inspires… and have a little jam at the end. That’s it!
Yes, I explained the Revival Drive Compact's switch slightly wrong - Mick here. Right functions, wrong positions - time for an eye test. actually have one booked on Thursday!
If you like this backing track, you can buy it at That Pedal Show Store… www.thatpedals...
Enjoy the episode!

I’ve never double commented before but fml that DD200 is incredible. In fact it’s almost the perfect four pedal board for the sounds you got in no time at all. Boss really got it right with this pedal.
I don't think I can get through a single episode of TPS without grabbing my guitar halfway through. You guys inspire me like crazy 🤘🤘

Hooray! That’s the idea. :0)
That RevivalDrive contains some of the best tones I've ever heard on this show. I want it.
Honestly, I think adding these backing tracks and jamming to them is one of your greatest ideas! Please continue this!
That jam was epic. Loved having you both being able to use all four pedals at will
I think you convinced me to buy a $400 pedal.......I never would have thought that possible. That Revival Drive is loaded with the sweet guitar tones of my subconscious dreams....
Micks EF-86 joke was spot on. Good thing I was between drinks of coffee, that would have been a mess.
The Revival Drive Compact is amazing! I've seen a few demos of it now, and it was SO smart of them to shrink it down. I think everyone knew that the original was brilliant, but very daunting to almost everyone. This compact version is next on my list!
Super fun show guys, great pedal choices.... that Gemini was amazing, especially with the Bubbler... what a cool sound. Love the solo jams, give you both a chance to play with the whole board. Great playing today Mick! You definitely seemed inspired.
Dang, I thought I didn't need another delay. Both of you just nailed your jams today. I especially enjoyed Dan's funk rhythms. I like it it when you riff off each other as well, so keep mixing it up!
Congrats on the added backing tracks section. This really adds tons of vibe to the episodes! Good stuff 👍🏼
The Boss DD-500 (ver. 2.01- firmware update) now has a Binson Echorec. I Love their Tape & Analog Delays. The DD-500 is a Beast.
Yall tore that jam at the end to shreds! Revival drive sounds amazing here. Gonna have to try one. Rock on !
4:33 ... that moment when all the gain is attained and sweet overloading fuzz is achieved. *faces melt*
Separate jamming was very, very cool, but I love hearing the two of you bounce off of each other more.
Oh, and to answer the question, I preferred the separate jamming here, because it gave a sense of what you’d each “taken” from each pedal by way of inspiration.
Best episode! The pedals all slay, and those jams at the end were absolutely killer. Sometimes I forget how great of guitar players you both are! Just wow.
Glad to see Mick connecting with the Gemini and Revival Drive.... I know the Zoia was a hard "meal" to get thru. Spot on!
Revival Drive sounds great, and you don't lose the character of the guitar.
You should do single jams or double jams depending on what you guys are feeling. Both are excellent!!
Don’t touch it, she’s goin’ Gotta be the best quote on TPS for ever 😂👍
If you guys liked the Gemini IV then snag a Voyager Trem. It's a top 5 pedal I have ever played and I sold mine in a moment of intense GAS and have regretted it since. Havent' been able to get another one for over a year now. The Titan II is also just incredible, cleans up well and is dead simple to dial in. Spaceman gets hype but the stuff delivers errrrtime.

Chris Wyatt check out the Drolo Twin Peaks v5 of you haven’t already- only Trem I’ve played or heard that beats the Voyager
You guys are extremely crackin' good guitar blokes! A video for the ages.
Some really tasty playing there, guys. I can see merit in both versions; solo and together. You work well together, trading licks and so on but it's good to see one sitting back and digging the other's playing. Mick's face when Dan was getting into the Gemini was a picture.
Backing tracks have been on freaking point! Love the one at a time jamming.
I love you guys! I have the Gemini and the Origin Revival drive. They are totally killer. I love your shows and both of your playing very much. Thank you so much!
Playing over tracks is excellent! Both of your playing just seems to come alive much more! Also like hearing you individually so we hear how different your approaches are
Amazing as always!! Thanks for the inspiration. Stay blessed guys.
That was awesome to watch. Very inspiring playing. I love when you guys jam together, but this was really fun to watch, and the jam was epic!!
Spaceman! Finally!
Totally sold on the Gemini. That thing sounds brutal.
Awesome tones!! Also, I really liked that you were able to use all the pedals at once for parts of the jamming. I don't know how intentional that was, but the idea of creating a new usable board-combination for each of these vids is great!
I have been waiting for a long time to see some Spaceman on this show! Finally!!
That add9 chord rule is real. Don’t mess with the Chorus authorities.
The new Boss delay has every thing you need for alive gig . Dead easy to use. But the most surprising is it's specs are better then Strymon, Eventide, and Empress! Yes the 'guys' into showing us quality sound not best value for money but this Boss is damn cheap for what you get! It is cheaper and much better then their high end offerings!

Which specs and better how? I have an Empress Tape Delay, TC Nova, and one "mega" delay, the Source Audio Nemesis. Looking at a DD200 to replace my old TC Nova Delay and, just maybe, the Nemesis.
Just sat down to watch the 'sode. However, I did want to thank you for all the efforts you have made over the years, Mick and Dan. While finishing my pedal board last night, I had a question on running a graphic EQ before or after my fuzz and I recalled an old episode and sure enough, you two gave the topic your thorough attention. I was also highly entertained by seeing how far the show has come! One of these days, you may get it right.
Interesting set of pedals, especially the Spaceman Gemini. Excellent jamming from both: you seemed quite fired up 😁
You guys were awesome!! Great little jam...loved both of your ditty’s!
This is actually a pretty sweet pedal board. Fuzz, OD, chorus and delay - everything I'd need.

@@dickybird6916 Thought I'd jump in on this as part of the RevivalDRIVE build process involves matching JFETs - we have to do this for the same reason that valve amps need matched output valves. It's labour-intensive and adds to the RRP but results in a better sounding distortion and less hum. We don't know of any other company who will go this far but we're proud to say that we will!
I really like the single! Mic and Dan free styling gives us many different flavors of what the pedals can do. However ,you need to jam together at the end to pull it all together!
Wow, that DD-200 is really winning me over! It also helps that the '80s NASA control room aesthetic is classic AF.
You just convinced me of two more pedals I did not know I needed! Talking about the Revival drive compact and the Boss DD200 of course.
Welcome back Gents... it’s been a while since you guys have made covet more pedals... everyone a banger here today & I want all of them 🤣 awesome jams too 👍
I see I'm finally starting to influence you, Mick. I picked up my AVRI '59 strat (in lovely Sherwood Green) a few months ago, and now you're following my lead. Very refreshing. I look forward to you getting progressively worse at playing guitar as your mission to be me continues...

Nice!
As someone who really, really, really dislikes fuzz, that pedal actually sounds amazing. 😲
Addendum to my fuzz comment: every time I watch your show I wind up jamming something new. It’s the craziest damn thing.
Both jams have their merits. Its good to hear just one at a time and its also good to hear you both go at once. You guys sounded really comfortable on this one independently.
Damn. Great playing guys...this is turning into more of a performance show for me than an informational show. No complaints...keep the jammage! #becausetoan
I've had the Bubbler for about a month and it is by far my favorite chorus pedal. Very Strymon type build. It has ramping when it changes flavors, so you get that Leslie majic happening. Kicked Lex off my board
Great fuzzy goodness!
The Gemini is insane!
How about a "Battle of the Jamage" approach, your guitars are plugged into an A-B-Y box then to the board, you each get 30 second intervals to pave the road for the handover in the jam.
Very cool and brilliant Jam Guys! With backing tracks -. If the horse-drawn carriage goes off completely!
That Boss pedal is really nice!! The looper function seems really good, too. The Gemini Fuzz reminds me of the Keeley Fuzz Bender - two sided, some frequency tuning functions, blending between Si and Ge. I need to look into these pedals. I really liked that Hive pedal from last week as well - I need a new fuzz. I like and am learning about fuzz, but am not really happy with this Wicker Big Muff Pi.
Dan your jam on the DD200 looper was instant Durutti Column. Lovely.
Absolutely great playing for both of you! I liked both single and separate jam sessions for what it's worth👍
Awesome work from Dan in the end jam. Wow!
Woooh Nelly! Dan chopping heads at the end jam!!!! Killed it! I'm also on the fence with the double Vs. single jam debate. I love seeing you guys trade off and the interesting ways you alternate from strutting your stuff to falling back into supporting the rhythm track but, you guys just gave a great display individually on this one that wouldn't have come off in the double jam. I say flip a coin before each jam and let 'er rip!
Another awesome video guys. I love the jam at the end from both of you, great playing. Thanks
Also this is the first DD200 demo that showcases the looper! Didn’t realize it did that. Immediately kills the EHX Grand Canyon... Would love to see those A/B’ed.
That Boss pedal looks very nice. Simple to use but with all the basic features you'd want.
While I'm not a huge fan of fuzz, that Gemini was quite good. As for the Revival Drive compact, ahhhhhh ...... warm butter!! So nice.
I reckon' they've distilled the essential Revival Drive features perfectly into the Compact edition. The right balance of versatility and complexity. With that in mind I actually think they should revise the dual channel.
F' in loved both of your JAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve had a DD-20 for over 10 years now. Have been wanting to get something more up to date but like Mick, didn’t want to get something overly complicated (including the DD-500). The DD-200 is practically identical to the DD-20 in layout with the up to date options I’m looking for. So glad to see it and hear it!
Mick's solo at the end was epic!!!
Hey guys, Nice pedals and playing on this episode! Really liked the Revival Drive and the new Boss Delay. To be able to focus on the sounds of the pedals (in the mix) I would say Single jams with the backing track or Double jams without backing track. Still hope the "old" VCQ format will be back. Cheers!
Play together!!!!!!!!!! We need more of that in the world these days!!!!
Great stuff, guys. I think I liked the solo jamage, but only because the last time there was as much twiddling as playing, it seemed. Cool that each of you could use all the pedals, too.
Great show -as usual! Single “jammage” makes it easier to hear the effects. But it’s fun to hear the double jam. Cheers!
Awesome! Love the taking turns jammage. You guys are amazing!
Wow, Boss has been crushing it. Yesterday I was drooling over the RC-10r but that DD-200, damn. Sounds great. I need to take a serious look at it. I've been paralyzed by delay choices and that one is ticking all the boxes.

Agreed I've been looking into having 2 or 3 delay/echos for my rig. The Boss might keep that down to 2.
Dan is channeling his inner John McLaughlin/Mahavishnu Orchestra 29:32. Fantastic TPS as always!
I say, solo jam, dual jam, get a guest in and jam. Just go with the flow and Jam!! Great playing with great sounding pedals!!!
Wow, I'm blown away... the best RevivalDRIVE Compact demo so far! Shit that Teleeeeee!
All 4 pedals had great sounds/features here. I thought the Gemini was going to be my fave, but the Revival is something else. GAS for the drives and delay here (I’m not a chorus guy)
The jams were really great gents. Great pedal picks and mix. 👍

Pretty epic solo jams at the end fellas! I was diggin' that Bubbler with the fuzz too. Really wide but not seasick detune. The 2 of you though have caused me major work and cash because after seeing the way wet/dry rigs really opens things up I have gone to a wet/stereo dry/wet rig.. Lotsa laughs wiring that baby up. I had to come up with a way to make a `3 channel snake to wire it. Ah but really .I guess it was really s labour of love inspired by yes, That Pedal Show.

Never saw you guys so speechless concerning the Revival Drive😉
that end jam was E.P.I.C!!!!!!!!!
DAAAAAAM Dan no words just wow and damn fine playing .
I think mix the jammage up as you feel like it. Both ways fun to watch / listen in their own ways. Enjoying the new format.

Single jam-nice to have each of you get a chance to sit back and enjoy the others playing. Fun also watching you mentally steal licks from one another.
