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.
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 ...
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
This has been absolutely brilliant. I was so much of a Jimi fan when I started playing and although after 43 years I'm now a jazzer, I still rate him as the best there's ever been. Great playing Dave! 😎🎸
i'm enjoying everything about this. Comparing pedals, some Jimi lore, looking for inexpensive ways to aim for the Jimi sound without getting OCD about, and Dave's playing. Also.... bonus for playing 1983 in the intro. My fave.
When it comes to a few like John, Rory, Jimi , none on this planet but Dave .. so many questions and he always takes time to explain .. Loads of love Dave, nothing but joy to you …
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.
Literally grinned all the way through!! Then had to stop the video to play some Hendrix myself before continuing..... Dave man, you're AWESOME!!..... Keep em comin' Capt'n!!!
My friend used to work for Roger Mayer and says he is a true gent and a genius!. Roger was a pioneer of foot pedals. His early prototypes were used by Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and obviously Jimi Hendrix. His effects were used on so many popular recordings over the years. Roger even co-built a pioneering early synth for Stevie Wonder!
Dave needs to be paid the big bucks. Or at least the medium bucks. He's immense. I love seeing/hearing him on these Andertons videos. Looking forward to many more Dave collabs!
I bought the TC Electronics Forcefield (compressor) & Thunderstorm (flanger) from Andertons and the other day decided to give them a go with a bass and they are incredible pedals!
Pretty impressed with how well the Katana takes overdrive pedals being digital and all. The glove is an amazing pedal! Very underrated. Also love my daily dose of Dave! Really dig Anderton's for bringing more people like Dave into the mix.
@@I.M.Guitar-Nerd Oh that makes a lot of sense then! I thought it was solid state but then I hear so many people call it a 'digital amp' so thought I was wrong. The more you know!
I saw the title of this video and before even watching it, I answered, “Of course he can!” Dave Simpson is one of the most brilliant and tasteful guitarists I’ve heard in some time. I wish I lived where I could go hear Dave play live.
This is the 2nd time I’ve seen Dave on this channel do a ‘Can he sound like…’ video. And like everyone else seems to say (and as a fellow Dave myself) it’s soo much fun watching him play like any famous guitarist. He’s hilarious & obviously shreds! 🤘🏻 keep more of these coming please!!!
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.
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!!??
Dave is my favorite guitar player and personality that Anderton has ever had on their channel...The fastest 42 minutes on RUclips, Love every second of it!!!!!!!
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
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.
Honestly, who else but Dave could do that outro with a Boss Katana, a Squire and a hodgepodge of "affordable" pedals thrown in front of him. Good Gravy!
Goodness...Dave is as close as I've ever heard to what Jimi wanted to sound like, very very good indeed, thanks Dave. Voodoo Chile...best music ever released on 45 RPM vinyl...imagine from sickly sweet Everly Brothers...to being inside a Supermassive Black hole...Jimi is without doubt, the God of all electric guitar...and only so very young when he passed. He defines Rock guitar...we just follow Jimi's path. All Hail Jimi.
Dave knocking it out the park as always! Love watching all these small changes and additions add to something spot on at the end! Wish there was a bit more love for Castles Made Of Sand and Catfish Blues though...
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...

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

Dave is an insanely talented guitar player, I hope he gets a big contract someday so he can get all the attention he deserves
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.
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 ...
I love this series with Dave- looking forward to the Rory Gallagher episode
They cannot deny us! :) Dave is, of course, a big Rory fan!
YES
@Mark Stevens yea but all Rory used was a Dallas Rangemaster treble booster and Dave hates treble 😂
Oh hell yes! Rory episode!!!!
Such talent, a brilliant player!
I hope at some point they have Dave and Pete jam for a bit.
Great idea, Dave and Danish!
yes, plus Rabea.
And he isn't a arrogant douchebag like Chapman either
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.

Great vid.
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!
Dave brilliantly filled in while Lee fiddled with pedals, well done!

I’ve been watching dave for years at this point and am so happy to see him on a bigger stage and is a great addition to the crew!

Dave plus Andertons is a big win. I always love watching him build a tone. Great stuff.
That outro shall become Legend! Kudos, Dave! This entire video was tons of fun!
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
Oh man, the outro was so worth waiting for - but of course, the whole show was great! Thanks guys!
Yeah, I wish that could've gone on for an entire second episode! First half - pick pedals. Second half - Dave jams. :D
I know more about Hendrix now, than ever. That Glove has won a couple times now, must have pedal. Dave did a great Job on this one. Thanks Captain
yup on the glove.. i got mine off the back of it winning the plexi shootout video a while back. great pedal
I totally geeked out on this video. Keep Dave on the channel!
The genius of Dave Simpson! Love that dude!!
Mr Simpson is a GREAT addition to the team, really brings in some wisdom, character and hype!
Plus he makes the videos sooo much more fun to watch!!!
You have to love Dave for his knowledge and ears and not being precious about brands, and what a versatile player!
Love Dave Simpson - so glad he's appearing here on Andertons. Hello from Los Angeles Dave!
I read that Jimi first heard Wah at a Frank Zappa gig. Dave your F**kin' amazing, rock on🤟🎸
This is legit a great video series. I am poor and this makes it seem affordable to dip the toe in the big ocean of pedals.
Dave killing it as always, but the ending... too good
Been watching Dave's channel for years. I'm delighted Andertons are giving him more exposure.
Loved it. Few people with Dave's talent are so humble. This is some good gravy at Andertons.

brilliant sound love these Andertons videos with dave its amazing how close he gets to the artist sound and his knowledge of amp tones and pedals 🙂
Usually i discover good musicans trough a real speaker. But dave knocked me off trough the smartphone alone, amazing player!
23:02 the highlight. Absolutely bang on Foxy Lady!
yeah, that was wicked. Wish he would've just kept going. Screw the pedals, let the man jam, lol
I really enjoyed this. Very entertaining and informative. Interesting how Dave is much more confident and less nervy than he used to be.
Well done Dave, smashed it again. Your showing how the sounds like without busting couldve been even better tones!
Wow! Dave deserves a bonus!!! Cap's a brilliant businessman for bringing Dave in. 👏
Brilliant. Dave's knowledge of Jimi's sound is indeed, as Lee said, encyclopedic. Great to see so many affordable pedals working so well.
Brilliant!! So glad to see that Dave has joined the team! This video put a huge smile on my face. Thank you!
18:49 "Where's the fun in playing lightly?" Indeed Dave 😆
The Mooer Vibe was set to the vibrato mode instead of the phaser mode, you didn't hear it because it wasn't on the right mode.
Dave needs to be paid the big bucks. Or at least the medium bucks. He's immense. I love seeing/hearing him on these Andertons videos. Looking forward to many more Dave collabs!
I bought the TC Electronics Forcefield (compressor) & Thunderstorm (flanger) from Andertons and the other day decided to give them a go with a bass and they are incredible pedals!
This is one of the best series introduced by Andertons in recent times. Great work guys. Dave knows his shizzle
Pretty impressed with how well the Katana takes overdrive pedals being digital and all. The glove is an amazing pedal! Very underrated. Also love my daily dose of Dave! Really dig Anderton's for bringing more people like Dave into the mix.
It's not digital.
Only the effects section is digital and nothing else; it's an analog preamp and a class A/B power amp making it a Solid State amp.
@@I.M.Guitar-Nerd Oh that makes a lot of sense then! I thought it was solid state but then I hear so many people call it a 'digital amp' so thought I was wrong. The more you know!
Absolutely love this. Please Andertons give us more Dave!!
That outro was just wild, and Lees face while listening lol it must have sounded even better in the studio, that’s good gravy Dave 👍
I am a jazz guitar player. Don´t own a single pedal. But man, still, I love Jimmy..and I loved this! So interesting!
I'm a jazz player too. Only own a tuner pedal.
If you love him, learn to spell his name: Jimi
Lee deserves a lot of credit for really getting the best out of Dave. Dave is at his best when he's relaxed and comfortable.
Captain, it’s incredible you can keep coming up with great concepts after all the years. This is GREAT content.
Dave's knowledge of legendary guitar players never fails to impress me. Great vid👍
Wow Dave, seriously some of the best Hendrix covering I have heard. You absolutely nail it ! Great work Dave! Serious Talent!
Really interesting would also to show/ know the Boss katana EQ settings. Great video's.

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!
This is the one I’ve been waiting for.
Great pick of pedals - but just one thing - Jimi used high octave pedal (Octavia) before a fuzz pedal and not after
Friggen Epic Dave... Love the play out.. I need more!..lol
I’m late to the party on this video but love seeing Dave on the team, and what insight he brought to this video!
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...
