Tuomas Raatikainen none of their shows are long anyway. At least not if you listen to tone talk, who regularly have 3.5hr shows. 🙂

I seldom comment online but I do have to say this: I tend to stay away from your pick'n'mix as I cannot afford any more G.A.S. I came for the piano pedal and stayed for the entire episode as the next pedal was more inspiring than the previous one as we all could tell from your playing. Having said that, and because I seldom comment online I would just like to give my huge thanks to Dan and Mick for what you've been doing these last few years. I started watching the show before this channel existed (back on Dan's channel) and even though I'm a guitar player for now 20 years I have never learned so much about sound (and everything related to it) as in the last few years(thanks KZread!), and you two are right there on the top. Thank you so much for the ride you've taken us on.

PLUS PEDAL!!!! Was wondering when one of these would pop up. Thanks guys!

Love it! Great sounds! Also a very proper and necessary reading of the instruction manual👍

I absolutely love it when Dan gets properly excited about a pedal! 😁

The great thing about the Gamechanger is you can also use it to send oversized telegrams during a gig.

I've been waiting for you guys to cover the dark side! It's the only pedal that I use every time I play, the fuzz is incredible and you could make an entire show about the mod side alone. Hoping you guys will cover it in more detail once you've had more time with it!

walrus are making some unbelievable pedals. Good show guys.

Excellent show. I think the 30 minute/4 Pedal format is a good quick dive into what's happening with new pedals - an introduction. From this reader feedback may guide later, more in-depth examinations of a particular pedal or type of pedal.

Short or Long doesn't matter! Thanks for all the laughs and info, you guys are the best!

One word comes to mind when I heard that dark side pedal- SOLD that playing of the American anthem was sick, well done.

Came here to check out what you guys dialed in with the Keeley Dark Side as I received it in the mail this afternoon. Pretty sure you summoned a Tone Monster at 19:37, GAWD I love a tasty vibe tone.

Got my D&M drive a few days ago, and whether or not it wins "Pedal of the Year," it's officially the "Pedal of My Life."

Great show as usual! So glad you finally got round to covering the Dark Side. I bought one on Anderton's black Friday deal. It's amazing. The Rotary is superb. I wish you guys had learnt how to use it before showing it though. It's not the most obvious pedal, because the coloured indicators for the delay have a specific meaning, and takes a bit of figuring out which setting you like. Anyways, it's a fantastic pedal. Would love you guys to try it against a collection of the equivalent separate pedals. Same for the monterey pedal which is almost the same pedal.

Yes he is!

I have an EHX Superego and it seems to do almost exactly what the plus pedal does. It had the effects loop and all as well as latch momentary and Auto modes with control over glissando, mix, attack and decay speed etc... The Superego+ just came out that has even more functionality with a whole host of built in effects that can effect your dry or sustained signal. I don’t own a + yet but I imagine it’s great. The plus pedal looks amazing though. I really like how the pedal is built like an actual organ sustain pedal.

Way to go on bringing the Seafoam Lowtide into the mix! Hopefully you'll do a quick AB someday of it with the Hudson Broadcast! Both of them are incredible! It would be cool to hear them through your capable hands and ears!

Keeley Dark Side sounds amazing easily the best pedal of the bunch! Now if only it was $100 less expensive I'd be all over it.

Would love to see a show on wah pedals and germanium fuzzes, as was mentioned many moons ago when you did “the wonderful world of wah-wah” episode. Thanks Dan & Mick!!

Gamechanger plus pedal is awesome i have one...

So the "Plus" is the perfect pedal to use when reproducing all of your favorite Pink Floyd "long intros". Especially "Shine on You Crazy Diamond". You can play Richard Wright's parts and hold them while doing Gilmour's bits in answer. Very freaking cool, might have to have one! Btw, really wish Mr. Keeley would do a dedicated four-function pedal encompassing separated versions of all the modulations contained in the "Darkside" and a dedicated delay pedal of the same type! I don't want much do I lol?!

I know I know, it's not the D&M but it's fun to see the review of the Dark Side - one thing that makes this pedal really fly is the expression pedal option for the mod rate, which is especially good with the order switching on the back - maybe a D&M meets D&R video? call it a Keely special, get the Monterey and the cavern too or simply "the making of a prog record" special

Loved the Walrus ARP-87... should combine it with a Mercury7 Reverb by Meris... sounds amazing!

I have a Plus Pedal and was waiting all year for it, but when it evetually came I was bit disappointed. It's quite hard to use. But, after a few days and sessions getting to grips with it, I can make some 'awesome' wooshy ambient music. The moment It clicked with me was when I added trem or chorus into its loop, they make it so musical. It should be a built in feature. It's a grower that pedal :) Love the show guys. Keep it up.

Definitely more of an extension to the instrument or an instrument in itself rather than a simple pedal... Demands time and practice to get comfortable and capable of consistent and musical results... But once that time is put in it opens a whole world of possibilities!

The look on Mick’s face when saying “interesting” 😂

The fuzz in the Dark Side is an op-amp fuzz (!!) tuned to be able to sound like a silicon Fuzz Face (definitely), or Big Muff (I think). I don't think it's available on its own. There was briefly the Echoes delay, which is a slightly warmer version of the delay in the Dark Side.

Hey boys, the ARP-87 actually also has a hidden mode. If you move the mode switch all the way to the left (digital), hold down the tap and move the mode all the way to the right (slapback) and then release the tap switch, the slapback mode will be replaced by a tremolo-type modulated delay until the process is done backwards to bring back the slapback.

I do not need any more drive pedals in my life. Er... except the Seafoam Lowtide. Damn!

Great video. I have a suggestion for a long show...Build a pedal board for the working coverband guitarist and explain how to use it. I think 4 main sounds are needed. Clean /Crunch/ scooped crunch/lead.

The flanger/rotary section of the Dark Side reminded me: is there a modern take on the Maestro Phase pedal? Love the lush tones Alex Lifeson got on '2112'.

I’d like to hear the plus pedal with a slo or astronomer on the FX loop. The dark side is one of my favorite pedals ever. I wish it could do a few things to use it how I want to use it. But it can nail that Floyd tone, that old school dark side of the moon tone. It’s a great pedal.

How come the Seafoam LowTide hasn't made a comeback during a few episodes! WOWZA!

How about reviewing the Meris Polymoon? Truly a strymon slayer (by one of the original strymon guys).

Would love to see the Cerverus from Anasounds in here!

I think Mick just did a magic trick at 12:57 ;p

Awesome to see the Seafoam Low Tide make it on here. The guy behind it is from my hometown.

Really interesting to hear the Audio Plus pedal. I've seen another NAMM video and it seemed awesome, I could definitely think of some cool uses for it. Hearing it in this video, it's a bit more 'loopy' sounding that I'd realised - as in you can hear that it's repeating a very short sample over and over, rather than being as smooth as I'd maybe like, so I'm a bit more hesitant about dropping £300 on it. The loop function is really cool, I'd love to try something like playing on a clean tone but sticking an overdrive pedal in the loop. Would have been nice to hear you try it on Wet Mode.

You guys really need to get Gilad Hekselman on the show when he's in the UK. He used to use the Freeze (He uses the Super Ego now, I think) and he plays guitar much more like a piano player than a guitar player. Some really interesting concepts to explore!

Great quality single pedals cost more, but they’re totally modular and will potentially last a lifetime. Apols, but multis just aren’t our thing... however useful, affordable and convenient they probably seem (and indeed are to a lot of people.) Cheers!

Awesome episode today, as is usual. Man, I would love to hear the Gamechanger Plus with a reverb and delay in its loop - seems like that would be an ambient dream machine. The sampling seems to be smoother than the EHX freeze/super-ego, though those 2 pedals win on size considerations. It was impressive how close it got to sounding like natural sustain when Mick played without vibrato.

@IamtheWV17

Phillip Lindholm the EHX offerings synthesize their signals rather than sample them while the plus grabs a minute sample and loops it... this is why the PLUS can latch onto the transience/ attack of a signal quite aggressively if it's sampled too early

WaywardVerve I was wondering what the difference was between the Superego and the Plus Pedal. That’s good to know. These sustain pedals for guitar are a blast to play with and really inspire creativity.

Looks like maybe the Rotten Apple is the standalone version of the Dark Side fuzz. The info page for it says "Did you know we took all we learned from our Dark Side fuzz and made this one even less noisy while increasing the gain dramatically!"

The Dark Side V1 is better imo because it has an effects loop and exp insert. I love putting a phaser or Chorus to give the Delay an even more spacy sound. And one can still change the order of the two channels with a trs insert that Keeley supplies. The Tape Delay though has hours of just tweaking to get many different styles of sound, and sounds as good as other pedals that are only tape delay emulators. The uni-vibe and Rotary are my favorites of the other four mods.

What's that little Ibanez Chorus doing there? Would love to see you guys go through Ibanez's mini Delay and Chorus offerings.

It's interesting that the coolest thing about the Plus is also the thing that makes it impractical, the aesthetics. Like functionally it could seemingly be in a standard box and just be a nicer version of the Freeze, but if it was it would be kind of lame. Sort of a rock and a hard place situation for that pedal. The ARP-87 is very intriguing especially with you guys mentioning it have a tape-esque quality, plus I liked the lo-fi mode. But everytime I hear a new delay I constantly think is it really worth ditching my trusty old Carbon Copy? Not sure if that's a familiarity thing or what, but every new delay I hear it's like "That's a great sounding delay, I already have a great delay oh well, maybe I'll change it one day" It's a weird headspace like I'm constantly in a 'Schrodingers Delay' purgatory like situation.
