Pedal Preamps, Valve Overdrive, Effects Loops & More With Simon Jarrett Of Kingsley Amps & Pedals

Time to get schooled in awesome tone – Simon is here again!

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the show! Regular viewers will know Simon Jarrett by now. He’s a regular visitor to TPS, bringing incredible guitar playing alongside exceptional tones and knowledge. He also happens to make some of the finest amps and pedals on the planet, so he’s the perfect companion on our never ending sonic quest.
In this episode we get into the nitty-gritty of ‘proper’ valve preamps and the subsequent considerations for the rest of your rig including what you need to think about in effects loops, your amp’s phase inverter/power amp and so on. Insodoing, Simon shows us a couple of his latest creations that are the culmination of many things we’ve discussed over the years.
Thanks as always to Simon and his better half Chrissy for dropping in on their periodic visit to the UK from Canada!
Enjoy the show!
