Been watching Daves channel for a long time and I'm genuinely really happy to see how much more confident he seems. Such a great addition to the team. And I think it's been very beneficial to both parties.
@@BigBoiNick The Crayon is EHX's take on the BB preamp circuit- the potent eq makes it very versatile and it offers more gain than the original BB circuit so it's good for more than blues and classic rock- you can push it into some heavy territory with a good amp. EHX is awesome- I just wish they would upgrade their footswitch. They're very clunky and several of my EHX pedals have an issue where they make this "pop" sound when engaged- sounds like a shotgun blast if you're running through a stack or a good PA system or something. They sound great once on, but I can't engage them mid song because I have to mute my amp to cut them on- otherwise I could damage my speakers.
Omg I’ve never seen Dave before but he just made my day. His enthusiasm is infectious and every time the pedals made a crazy sound his reaction is priceless thank you so much. 😊
Self taught on budget gear, Dave is the real deal, reminiscent of Clapton and those 60s guys who managed to get a great sound out of largely troublesome gear and with minimal effects, you know, the days no Gibson SG would stay in tune for one song and they cut speaker cones in amps to get a ragged tone. He is that kind of guy who can find GOLD out of a dog's dinner.
@@mrredritehand He is one of the best players, but you can't expect everyone to have heard of him. His band is great but they can't get any gigs outside of the same 5 or so venues around Lincolnshire. His youtube channel is what most people know him for but unfortunately he hasn't made it big as a musician outside youtube. Like many of his fans, I discovered him when Lee did a Captain Meets with him a year or 2 ago. Great that more people will discover him now he's back at Andertons.
Excellent as always with Dave and I love this series because the reality is... we don't all have £5000 for a set up and you wouldn't use a high end guitar live anyway (damage, theft), a decent amp yes, but the guitar is generally a well set up mid-range £800 or so in my experience, one you can afford to get knocks and dings. My son uses a Mex maple neck HSS Strat with a Laney LC30 - 112 (v2), 2008 vintage - the amp out of the box is Class A, with 8 high quality valves and a 'real' accutronics spring reverb tank, can provide Fender 60's style on the clean, a more Marshall tone on the drive channel. And fits easily in a boot (Eric). A Jimi Hendrix anecdote for you, from the autobiography of the late, great Bobby Womack. They were both touring on the same bus when Jimi was a side man in Isley Brothers - Bobby was Sam Cooke's lead guitarist and at the time at least, his senior in capability. Both unorthodox and left handed which gave them a playing edge they shared and would discuss together on the long nights between towns. One difference between them is that Bobby didn't mod his guitar which was a stock right hand, upside down without a string change so the bass wound was at the bottom (and no neck change). As stated here, Jimi liked to mod his guitar which made it unplayable for Bob (or anyone else). However, one night he lost his pride and joy following a card session in which a fellow band mate accused Jimi of stealing his cash - Jimi wasn't averse to lifting things on their travels although Bobby thought this was unlikely between the crew. Jimi went to sleep and when he woke up his guitar was gone - the offended guy had thrown it out of the bus door and that guitar was never seen again.
well the funny thing is, the way Jimi got his iconic sound can't quite be replicated regardless of how much you spend. you can get pretty close, there's some tribute bands out there have done some of his songs, but they still sound slightly different. it's copyrighted after all, once an artist or band has established there sound they take whatever they used off the market. the closet modern artist i can think that some people compare to Jimi is Lenny Kravist, but i disagree with that.
Great to see the Andertons team working with youtubers like Dave. He's got a great attitude towards affordable gear, and he can play like an absolute demon. I'm sure when he records his 'intros', he's tuned into somewhere else. I've seen him play Medieval sounding Folk stuff, to Arabic sounding ScreamCore., ..... On a "Shaffordable" plank and some little tin boxes. And on top of all that, .,...... He is one of the nicest people to ever be seen on the Internet.
Dave is a legend. That outro was insane, especially considering the gear. Key lesson, learn to play. You can have a boatload of boutique gear, but a guy with Dave's talent will put you in your place with a Squier, Katana, and inexpensive pedals.
Freaking awesome stuff. Subbed Dave's channel many moons ago and Andertons is one of my fav gear channels. Watching them work together is very cool indeed!
Love these videos with Dave and also now subscribe to his channel. His comment that Jimi would be in hog heaven with todays range of effects got me thinking - I'd love to have heard what Jimi might have done with a looper pedal...
Loving this series of videos! Few thoughts that might be useful to people. When using your octave fuzz, switch to the the neck pickup and turn your tone control all the way down to cut high end. Then roll back your volume on the guitar slightly. This will generally give you more of a Hendrix tone and it gives the octave fuzz greater dynamic and touch sensitivity. Jimi was introduced to the Wah pedal by Frank Zappa when they played in NYC together. This was right before Jimi went to London and became famous. Zappa and Jimi were good friends and Hendrix appears on the cover of Zappa's 1968 album "We're Only in it for the Money."
Anyone else confused by the chain being described from amp back to guitar? or just me? lol great video though! well done! I like this Dave Simpson and his Jimi knowledge!
I remember Eddie in a magazine interview saying that Robby Krieger had done some tapping on a couple solos. (Primitive tapping, When the music's over) and that was the first he remembered giving him the tools to practice with.
Just a note: traditional FF-type fuzz pedals should always be placed at the front of a chain of pedals, i.e. driven directly by the guitar. Otherwise, it's unlikely they will work anywhere near properly. (So they would need to be "true bypass", naturally.)
Hendrix was in Dallas in 69 Jimmy Vahaun's band opened, stayed to watch and loaned Hendrix his Wah when Hendrix's broke and got Hendrix's in trade. J. Vahaun has told that a bunch over the years.
The Captain is absolutely 💯 👌 on this.... he actually works very well with David.. gosh I totally wish I can actually meet up n jam with... You know like Bucket list 😅 may the good lord bless you my good friend 😂
Just puzzled ... Is there anyone else on this planet who does know as much of me idols ... nails the tone ... and can explain to us mortals what they did and how they did achieve their tone? Is it possible that Dave just integrated/summed up over every great guitarist of my youth like: (Steve Vai) integral Guitarist dKnowledge =!= everything you need to know about modern Guitarists (Buddy Guy) If so i do tend to be just a Dave fan now -> ... (i.e. superposition is sufficient)
One thing that would be fun is to go through it like this... and also to do the same with a modeler - like the MX5/PodGo/Ampero etc. I'm tipping my hand that if we're going to spend hundreds on sounding like Jimi, do I spend another hundred to sound like Stevie, and another hundred to sound Pete? Me: No. Captain: YES? :-)
Hello the captain and Dave ! i'm happy to see this episode ! i'm waiting it ! the sound it's very cool ,but i don't like the sound of the fuxx fuzz ,i prefer the octavix for me it's more like Jimi ... anyway it's a great video ! thanks for this good moment ! take care and be safe !
Now Dave can finally play Jimi on RUclips without getting copyright striked by his dad's deadbeat stepdaughter! (I prefer my stepdaughters to be stuck in the washer/dryer)
Indeed. The man eats, sleeps and breathes guitar. He's about as genuine as they come, and still takes the time to put a heart on every single comment on his channel despite now having 100k subscribers. That's dedication to his viewers. :)
This just puts a bigggggg smile on me face 😆 from start to ... - Dave just knows how to in so many ways - he's very quick and result oriented ... - resuls are always a pleasure imho. 👍 Just keep it coming ...
The only choice I’d disagree with was the octave fuzz. The octave was too high in the registry. I think the other finalist was a better choice. Beyond that small detail it was awesome. Especially when Dave busted out Foxy Lady, I’d never seen anyone pull that intro off so perfectly like that. It’s as if that fuzz pedal was built for that one bit. Great job Dave and Lee!
The entire point of an octave fuzz is that it produces a note exactly an octave higher of the note you’re playing. It can’t be too high in the registry because if it was a higher pitch than that it would create dissonance. Maybe you thought there was too much off the effect and not enough dry signal. I disagreed with the Vibrato section. Jim I used a Uni-vibe, not a Vibrato pedal. Two separate effects. He should have pulled an MXR Uni-vibe.
Brilliant to see Dave. What a player, a tone meister, a teacher, an encyclopaedia and all round top guy. Love these videos. Once again, Lee was smart to procure the best talent.
Not only do we learn about pedals but we get some very cool info on the artist. Great series and kudos to Andertons for going down this road and working with Dave. Love Pete, but Dave is a nice addition to your videos!
Wow great video, nice tones! Why does "That Pedal Show," need so much over priced gear? Dave sounds wonderful without wet/dry Two-Rock, midi programmed Klons. And with a Squier strat.
That was brilliant guys absolutely loved that. Dave is the Encyclopaedia Brittanica of guitarist knowledge, hes defo been down a rabbit hole or seven figuring these things out.
Dave always does a great job with these videos, he's a great candidate to help out with the Sounds Like series if you guys ever bring it back but as for more players in this series I'd love to see a video on these for David Gilmour, Alex Lifeson, The Edge, Daron Malakian, George Harrison, Kevin Parker or Joe Perry
Now there's something here at 9:02 where Dave talks about Roger Mayer designing "more of a fuzz overdrive". I've been waiting to hear this for years. To me, the greatest Hendrix guitar sounds by far are on Band of Gypsies; Live at Fillmore East. I agree with Dave. The earlier sounds were perhaps great as a one off say as on Purple Haze. But that's not a sound you'd use on every solo on every song on all night. Where as, the BoG album sounds more like the amps are driven reasonably hard with whatever pedals Hendrix was using, just pushing things over the edge. I have watched tons of fuzz demos on YT. NOBODY, that I've yet to see, goes anywhere NEAR addressing this whole lower gain side of fuzz boxes!. In fact you'd be flat-out finding 10% of these demoers that even ever try winding the gain back LOWER than 12 o'clock!. And unfortunately, even though Dave addresses this at this point in this YT clip, that's the end of it. The rest of the demo then only explores that massive over the top style of fuzz. Exactly the fuzz so many people think fuzz HAS to be!. They seem to think they have to go more when it's clearly about going less! Possibly driving your amp nearer break-up and using a touch of whatever pedal to push it over the edge. Less CAN be more!! The wholly grail is whatever Hendrix did to get how he sounded on the afore mentioned album. Surely to god it's out there some where!!??
Wow that final solo was .. it really captured so much of Jimi... only someone who has studied his playing and has a passion for it can really do that.. and on top of that Dave masterfully pulled in all the pedals.. and illustrated how they truly capture Henrdix.. wow.. really enjoyed that. Thanks
Been watching Daves channel for a long time and I'm genuinely really happy to see how much more confident he seems. Such a great addition to the team. And I think it's been very beneficial to both parties.
Yeah this is great
Dave has clearly settled as an Andertons content creator, as a result we are seeing the true Dave and it is real pleasure to see.
where can I find his channel?
@@ghostdog_ninja do a search for Dave Simpson guitar and you’ll find it

I learned two things from this series, 1. Dave is a great addition to the team 2. electro harmonics pedals are a amazing for the price
Electro-Harmonix has always been amazing.
I love the crayon overdrive was my first pedal and I still use it every time

They cannot deny us! :) Dave is, of course, a big Rory fan!
YES

Dave's ability to get great tones out of (relatively) cheap kit is truly inspiring.
Wonderful Dave! Thanks for casually sharing a whole bunch of less known facts about Jimi and his gear while playing like a champ!
Love the bit of knowledge Dave had about how Jimi would play the intro strum to voodoo child
Its in the first part of a two part lesson on voodoo Chile, on his channel!
Way more complex than people realise.
@@DiggingFrance I'll check that out
Loved it. Few people with Dave's talent are so humble. This is some good gravy at Andertons.
You have to love Dave for his knowledge and ears and not being precious about brands, and what a versatile player!
Usually i discover good musicans trough a real speaker. But dave knocked me off trough the smartphone alone, amazing player!
Captain, it’s incredible you can keep coming up with great concepts after all the years. This is GREAT content.
Awesome video. They have all been a lot of fun, and Dave fits right in at Anderton's.
Dave is bloomin' excellent, leaves you grinning from ear to ear.

To be fair, though, Dave could sound like Jimi with an Aldi bag, a bath plug and a packet of Pringles.
lol, this is one of the better ones I've read ;)
More Dave please. Happy to see him at home at Anderson’s.

DAVE!!!!! This just became my favorite video of Andertons Music Co now, that ending was pure awesome
Him plugging into the first pedal was amazing.
Nice to see some focus on low end products..lots to 👍 for home guitarists..
Best one yet! really great guys thank you :)
I remember Eddie in a magazine interview saying that Robby Krieger had done some tapping on a couple solos. (Primitive tapping, When the music's over) and that was the first he remembered giving him the tools to practice with.
I reckon you can get pretty close to a Jimmy tone just with the katana tone studio
Jimi tone: Mission Accomplished. Dave can really play.
The Vox Wah pedal can be seen at the Isle of Wight concert footage Jimi used it and so should you.
Just a note: traditional FF-type fuzz pedals should always be placed at the front of a chain of pedals, i.e. driven directly by the guitar. Otherwise, it's unlikely they will work anywhere near properly. (So they would need to be "true bypass", naturally.)

Obviously, Dave Simpson's talent is also a big part of it, but I was pretty amazed at how good an Affinity Strat and Katana sound.
Dave is an insanely talented guitar player, I hope he gets a big contract someday so he can get all the attention he deserves
Can Dave Simpson become David Gilmour with affordable pedals?
