I needed some Dave Simpson does John Fruiscante today . I lost my mum this morning and been listening to your music to take my mind of things . Incredible playing as always Dave ❤
Just wanted to say that you are helping me in dark and lonely times by showing that someone must not be perfect, that its okay to be not perfectly adapted to todays society and to feel absolutely lost and not well in your twenties. I saw your video on andertons in which you talked about hard times in the past and walking around while nothing feels real. I can relate and its comforting that you are an example that no matter how hard and dark life gets, music is just always there and carries you through these times. Now thats a role model
Music has always got me through the darkest periods of my life . Even on days like today when I feel completely broken , listening to Dave today has calmed my soul . I hope you find peace ❤
Hello Dave, I’ve been watching your channel for many years now, you taught me how to play “Oh Well” and many others. Just wanted to tell you that your progress has really blossomed and you continue to be an inspiration!! Thanks DD
I don't really watch a lot of your videos to be honest, but I've been following you for years and I truly respect you as a musician and as a content creator. God bless ya man!
Started with Hiwatt 1980s. Fender twin.then TSL s.. In between had an MG 100W ...2005..2010 Sold it..Line 6 (close to perfect).roland . 2018 got another one... It's a beast... No pedals.. OD 2 red Delay built in. Super strat.... All other amps are history. Ain't no going back... my point is I found Dave years ago by seeing him demo an MG...on the tube.. Marshall MG we salute you. & DAVE......
I missed you again so I will watch tomorrow morning as your one of the few people I can trust on here these days without feeling like your selling me something. Although I guess you make me want some of your stuff but that’s just me. I feel the passion you have for this and that’s why you are a great watch and of course it’s great to hear that passion come out your equipment cheap or not you make it sound like it’s worth more no matter what you use.
Recently I've found on RHCP instagram a reel where they are practicing "Eddie" before a gig and John is using only the Silver Jubilee; so I'd say it's the backbone of his tone. Obviously he uses more on stage and in the studio, but I thought it's a nice little sidenote. Cheers as always!
I've been playing the boss gt1 through my mg100 half stack, and I almost don't even feel like I need a tube amp anymore. And the best part is getting all of these specific tones. Like there's basically a Jake e Lee tone, zakk Wylde tone, a few Hendrix tones, and everything is customizable. I love it. Still trying to figure out some parts of it, it can get complicated, but best bang for buck I think I've ever experienced in the guitar world
I’ve loved using my katana for a “John tone” then getting a gt1000 core I can now have a dual amp set up within one patch, brilliant!! All my patches are based off of some of your katana patches dave so thank you for those (tweaked cause I run a 2x8” cab with neodymium bass speakers)
You already did the John tone out of the mg video It was in the how to play like John Frusciante serie !! I think it was épisode 1, I Can remember about it, it really helped me at the time 👌 btw my mg still have the same setup as you told here (main differences are the bass are at 12 o'clock and I put a little bit of treble, but mids were at 3 too😂😊)
amazing John Frusciante guitar tone! as usual you drive me to heaven, the vibes are there, your heart is there and your aura shook my soul. I was wondering something because I saw you messing around with the built in effects, I was wondering is the chorus of the MG accurate to get a under the bridge, Soul to Squeeze chorus tone? I Hope you will make a short vidéo with it if it possible or even a vibrato Black Summer kind of ? You're amazing greetings from belgium
Hmm just saw your old fender reliced strat on a YT short channel @davyholden, he said he bought from you and said it plays great. Maybe a get your reliced signature Dave strat store would be an idea. Strats reliced and played and signed by Dave, I would look at them. And did you know Lee owns victory amps. Great video. Awesome tone. Outside and loud, reminds me of the old days.
Very well explained about tones and how it’s hard to sound the same as the likes of John F. Other videos just tell you “this is it and you will sound the same.
That's why I love Dave's vids. He explains it to you instead of here's the answer. Used what I've learned from Dave to make a sound im happy with, and I know why I like it!
@@korydeleon8236 yep, I am still just learning after 2 years of trying my best to get somewhere but I know who is just telling you what you want to hear and who is telling you the way it is. I want to find my own way of doing things and it’s people like Dave that I know are the real deal and I have Nothing but respect for him as I know it’s his passion and not just some kind of click bait video.
So what your saying, when you get right down to it, is the only 2 pedals you need for the tone is the only two I don't have? I could do that DS1 settings thing I talked about, but my ears are still ringing from the last Frusciante slap. That guy slaps harder than Will Smith on Oscars night.
I gigged with an MG30 for years. It was surprisingly loud enough for a full band and as long as I used a decent guitar sounded really good. I still prefer my Marshall Haze tube amps. I have 3 of them.
Amazing tone!!! I have seen in many videos that the output wire is in the headphone output. Is a modification or this output is able to move the speakers???
Good stuff Dave, you got me experimenting. Any way you can do a video like this but on a smaller practice amp? Maybe one finding a good base clean tone? That would be awesome!
I bet, one day, you will play on arena. I don’t care you don’t believe it😊 Sometimes music takes us where we don’t dare believe we can arrive and you, dear Master, will kick as🤘 Thank you for this music today!
And why not? The guitar world has polluted the electric guitar signal with transistorized front-end pedals since the early 1960's. The famous Marshall Jubilee had a built-in distortion box.; and sworn thermionic lovers had orgasms playing the Jubilee. I owned an '83 for years. Thank you Mr Simpson, for bringing the hypocrisy to light. You are a stream of sanity and intellect in this world of guitar. I love my Park G30r-CD.; and my 1973 HIWATT Custom 50 head... and my ...
Hello Mr.Simpson. again and again superb playing. By the way, i bought Squier bullet HSS strat. İ haven't amp yet. But it has loud and tasty acoustic sound. How do you think, if orange crush 12 suits with my strat?
@@Leo-vt5lm The same theory that Dave says in the video applies to tube amps as well. My DSL has pretty much the same settings as Dave has in this video and we get basically the same tone. Just make sure it's Marshall voiced and you'll be there.
the amount of content Dave has provided for us John Frusciante nerdies it's something I'll never be able to be thankful enough, seriously, the amount of respect and love that i have for this guy is just insane, without exaggerating i can even say that Dave has become one of my guitar heros fr. ily dave🫂
I needed some Dave Simpson does John Fruiscante today . I lost my mum this morning and been listening to your music to take my mind of things . Incredible playing as always Dave ❤
I’m heartbroken to hear that. I’m so sorry.
@@thedavesimpson thank you . That means the World to me ❤️
Feel you man. Mine just recently passed but at least Dave is awesome!
@@ronanhess965 I've always found music is a great comfort and soothes the soul mate . Thank you .
John using 3 marshall full stacks vs me trying to sound like John with my tiny practice amp 💀💀
But... in the great Rock 'n Roll tradition, they're not turned on.
He's playing through a 3" speaker practice amp.
It's not that hard......
Look up John's bedroom lick. He's using a tiny practice amp there and sounds great. His tone is in his fingers and his feel.

Just noticed the Vigo poster, dude we have the same cultural touchstones lol Great funky playing as always Dave!
I commented the same thing a few videos ago! VIGO ! The Carpathian! Vigo the MADMAN!
Love the tone you get outbof the Oswald John Strat, i am so glad to have been introduced to Oswalds through your channel, and couldnt be happier
God bless you man… you’re a sight for sore eyes with your Frusciante tips
Epic playing as always!
Aside from JF tones, what are your favorite tones to recreate with the MG100HDFX?
8:16 The Motto of Tone Recreation
All sorts. :)
Your playing is awesome, man. It made me totally forget that I actually started watching this video to see how good the amp was.
Nice job dave Sounds wicked! Screaming like a wild cat! 🤟😝

Please teach us that intro, Dave! 🤯
Just to confirm Dave, the amp you’re playing through is the MG100HDFX?
Yep
This is convientient, I'm getting a an mg 100 2x12 tomorrow
More MG100 videos please!
With the Les Paul!
Awesome!
Happily. :)
So the Marshall mg100fx takes pedals well?
Extremely. :)
Hello Mr.Simpson. again and again superb playing. By the way, i bought Squier bullet HSS strat. İ haven't amp yet. But it has loud and tasty acoustic sound. How do you think, if orange crush 12 suits with my strat?
The crush is good but a katana 50 would be my choice.
@@thedavesimpson thank you sir.❤️
At the end of the day, it's a Marshall after all, SS or not!
Hi Dave, what brand is this beautiful guitar?
Hi dave friday at last well worth waiting for 😮
You leave me speechless the way you make that strat sing is something else
Dave do you ever do much of the finger tapping playing like eddie van halen kind stuff.
Every now and again.
Is there any way to do it on katna without the pedals you suggested in the video? I can't access them , aby trick thorough tone studio or something
Yep. I have a video on that.
more cool videos from DAVE!
Hey Dave,
what year and model should I look for the MG100? and what year to avoid? I Know you covered this in one of your videos but I forgot.
2004 - 2007.
@thedavesimpson is there much difference between the dfx and hdfx?
I love my DSL40CR but I may have to try one of these 👍
Love mine too, that amp does it all. Especially with the 6 button Marshall foot switch. 👍
Spot on approximation IMO, nice playing Dave!
Did you put that mg chassis in an old marshall head box? Or is it a reproduction
A friend of mine mods them for me.
The STANK tone.
What are the exact speakers that john uses in his cab?
Celestion g12 75s.
I've yet to try a Marshall I didn't like.
Dave do you ever play Yamaha Pacificas?
I have. Great guitars.
What year are the G12T75s on your jcm 900 cab from?
No idea.
@@thedavesimpsonbtw, i forgot to mention, your tone sounds great and you're a fantastic player
Is it possible to approximate this kind of tone on a small 15W tube combo amp?
Oh yes.
@@thedavesimpsonHow? Please 😁

Zoom Q8.
What cab/speakers you run the MG with?
Marshall jcm900 cabs with celestion g12 75s.
