My Top 3 Pedals for the John Frusciante Cleanish Tone
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2018
- I have received a lot of questions about what pedals are best for the John Frusciante cleanish tone so here be the top 3 Pedals I recommend.
One of the most important things when picking a Pedal for the John tone is the it has to be compatible with the Ibanez WH10 wah and Boss DS2.
I hope this vid helps and thank you so much for watching. : )

I love how Dave wears his heart on his sleeve when plays. That intro seriously took me to another place. Fantastic on every level.
i feel so thankful for hearing this dave, you've been my favourite guitarist for a while now. I remember the mental health video is when i realized why your playing is so expressive and Im so happy to have discovered you roughly a year ago. Those other mean kids will never be able to reach the places you have. You have changed my playing and you're such a great person, thanks dave. :)
Thank you very much. : )
@@thedavesimpson a year has passed and we are all still so so so grateful for you. Thank you
Just watched that episode. Nothing but respect for this guy. Still trying to cope with my own mental health. When i am more stable, i want to help others too. Much respect, much love to everybody trying.
This is so impressive. This is the first guitar video I've ever seen where the presenter discusses pedals that go well together. I know that sounds crazy - shouldn't they ALL discuss that? - but it doesn't happen, in my experience. Thanks, Dave! By the way, I spent your entire talk about pedals wondering when that spider was going to jump on your head.
Wow, I learn so much from your videos everyday! I’m still pretty new to the guitar scene, so thanks you for teaching me about so much things about this beautiful instrument🖤
We are all so grateful for all of this. I find every time I watch one of your videos I get amazing info and get more inspired. It almost always leads to me buying some more gear hahahah. I've got the Orange CR120H with a 4x12 orange cab. Just bought the jackhammer, already have Edward the compressor, the WH10v2 and the ds2. All of it is perfect and amazing and I've got you to thank for it. I'll sound like myself when I fail to sound like you. What an inspiration you are, my absolute favourite guitarist online and you're definitely in my top 3 all time for my favourites. Anyway I'm rambling on, you're a God, cya
Dear Dave, thank you sooo much! I actually emailed you for the Q&A about best basic Johns pedal couple of days ago and I feel like this is the best answer I could hope for :) JH-1 is on its way to my home and I'm sure to squeeze every ounce of sound it has for me :) Thanks again!
I always log on for your sick intros on the guitar but I stay for the rest.
This was another great informative vid mate
Wow, Dave. So lovely, impassioned and insane. That was some music. Love you, brother!
Liking the vibes in the intro jam! Nice ambience :)
Thanks for making this Dave! Great video and good tones. Nice intro aswell!
Holy fucking shit man, you nailed that. Absolutely magnificent. You got John's live lead tone down absolutely flawlessly.
Wow thanks Dave, I just got a jackhammer pedal and those settings sound great. Never would've found this solution without your help.
thanks again dave for the incredible intro and tips on the glory tone of the frusc im jamming with my friend soon and plan ons trying to achieve the frusc tone from his boss katana greetings from south africa
nearly 40 minutes of dave playing john frusciante what could be better...but damn you dave it's almost 1 am and I can't stop watching :D
That intro gave me major goosebumps. Reminded me of the Empreyan opener, so much soul and emotion.
I love your passion man, I can feel it
Incredible intro. So powerful!
The tear fell in 3:47 mate, such a wonderful sound. Don't know if it's the case but could really hear the influence from maggot brain over there. Awesome job fella
Thank you very much. : )
Thanks Dave for this video, very well explained. I fell in love with a fender tonemaster twin reverb the other day, and the only thing stopping me from buying it then and there was not being able to do this due to the amount of headroom on the amp (which is kinda the point of it). After watching this video I'm pretty confident that I can get pretty close with the jackhammer (the EQ should help heaps), helped by the fact that you can actually change the powerstage of the tonemaster from 1, 5, 20 80 something watts to help it break up which is usually impossible with a classic tube twin. Also the twin actually has a mid EQ as opposed to most fender amps so that's should help smooth it out.
Thank for this review. This has been a really helpful video. I found an ex-display Jackhammer at a reasonable price on eBay and it arrived today. My Orange now sounds like a Marshall.
Thank you very much. :)
"I thought about doing a quick video"
*looks at the lenght of the video*
just thought uh, Dave?
hahaha just kidding, great stuff! Loved the intro.
wow, you are crazy man ;) amazing sound!!! ...and very interesting explanations too. thank you very much dave!
I have that same Strat! I love it. I put Seymour Duncan Antiquity 1's in it.
From 7:11 to 7:56 ... Waw. You are really able to play that Frusciante play-style. Hello from Paris, France ;)
Killer tone as usual Dave
Amazing intro dude.... that tone is superb
goddamn intro made me feel the vibe, awesome vid!
That intro was the most beautiful things ive ever heard on a guitar.
Great intro Dave !you are Mad and i love it and your right its in your hands the tone!Cheers love the new Amp but i would like a purple one that would be sweet!!Cheers Rock!Onn!
Dave you seriously have the best tone out of anybody, (my opinion) hopefully everybody else’s opinion as well!
I loved your intro in this video, it sounded amazing!!
I've tried getting the John tone out of the od channel of my amp, but it made my Clean sound dull and dry, although close to the John sound, and it made my DS-2 behave, but then I got my hands on the Jackhammer right after getting my Guv'nor (thanks to you I love these pedals now) and the John Clean sound was there, it sounded great!! I'm Just trying to get an Ibanez Wah now. I already have a silvertop Vox Wah, but it's not the same thing, close, but not the same
oh my word, what an amazing intro
Love the view you a cool set up also hey idea for a video do a set up video it’d be cool to see your room and where you play good vid!
The world deserves to hear dave
That intro was magnificent...
man i love you. great inspiration
Almost makes me wish i didn't get rid of my stomp pedals...do have the BOSS GT8 and GT6 ...older systems ..love them both..fantastic playing dave
You may be the greatest guitarist that I have known of or heard.
Thank you very much indeed. That means a lot to me. : )
Fantastic playing my Brother!!!👍👍👍🎸
Thank you very much. : )
I've only just recently come across your videos but I am really enjoying them. You're crazy good!!!! I'm very impressed. I love how when you give examples you draw a lot from John's live performances as well. Thanks for the advice regards the pedals. Now that I've actually got money a little extra money to spend for the first time in my adult life, I will slowly begin to invest in key Frusciante pedals. It's interesting to note that all three pedals here are in very similar in price and all highly affordable.
I'm looking to get the Ibanez Wah after recently investing in a Line 6 HX Effects (looking forward to putting the Obi Wah and the Ibanez Wah together to jam Throw Away Your Television).
Also, I've just subscribed!!! :D
Thank you very much. : )
Great demo and comparison on the pedals. I laughed out loud when you digressed to the white Plexi. Well done and Awesome. Are you going to tell us poor people of the tube how that beauty came about? Cheers :-)
Well that was some incredible playing.
Thank you very much. :)
I have setup my CR120 and Golden Plexi as follows and it gets me a pretty decent Frusciante tone:
CR120 dirty channel:
Volume Max
Treble 2
Mid 4
Bass 3
Gain 2
Golden Plexi:
Gain points to the 'O' of 'Out'
Volume between 8 and 9 o'clock (that there's no volume jump when I turn it on)
Tone 9 o'clock
Fantastic playing
Thank you very much. :)
Believe it or not, I use a Ibanez Tubescreamer (Ts9) with an MXR Dyna Comp compressor. That makes my DS-2 and DS-1 behave. It sounds awesome!
How do you setup your ts9?
Great video Dave, thanks!
Thank you. :)
Just got the Golden Plexi! Thanks Dave!
Really informative video. Nice.
Just randomly brought a Jack Hammer pedal! Im really glad now cos i absolutely love John Frusciante
Watched this and immediately bought the jackhammer xo thank you very much!
Thank you very much. :)
I have achieved my personal JF sound with an original 1987 50 watt silver jubilee with matching 2x12 vintage 30 cab on clean channel(no rhythm clip engaged) and a xotic Ep booster at the end of my pedals chain.
As you know the silver jubilee is the most clean souding Marshall amp but with the Ep booster in the front I really get closed to JF cleanish grit that you always mention in your videos!! Thanks again to share with us your passion...cheers from Italy ;-)
I have never tried to sound exactly like his tone, but I love that kind of distorted clean. I use the overdrive channel on the Orange cr35ldx with low gain to do it. Great video as always.
I have the same amp. What its you eq? Did you still have the amp?
Thank you a lot for this deep-dive! It is really cool to know all of that about the John’s “cleanish” unique sound! I have a little question though. Is the Dunlop MXR Micro-Amp also a good choice for boosting the signal when using the DS2 & Ibanez Wah (v3)? I am more attracted towards the Jackhammer cuz there is more EQ adjustability but I want to know if the MxR Microamp falls also in this section of boost-OD pedals. Thanks in advance & keep it up! 🤘🏻
I really want to thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Im using a Two rock amp. Its a great amp but does not have that marshall treble push.
After watching this I decided buying the Jackhammer.The pedal is so versatile. Treble and bass eq. Also a contour and freq knob. Its acting like a high end pre-amp pedal.
Are you from the Netherlands? If so, where did you buy the pedal?
@@TheEchelon Yes I'm from the Netherlands. I bought it from reverb.com
@@noelhoekstra6852 Bedankt! Ik zocht ook op Reverb, maar ze hebben momenteel niet eentje beschikbaar. Op ebay zag ik wel wat staan.
@@TheEchelon Als je in de buurt van Hilversum woont kan je komen testen. Geen probleem.
If it helps anyone at all, I've got the same MG as Dave and I use the Marshall Jackhammer as well but I had to alter Dave's jackhammer settings to work with mine. So mine is all the same as Dave's except my Frequency is at 12 o'clock and my contour is maxed out. I get a nice john tone with those settings!!
How many marshall amps do you need at home?
Dave: "Yes"
Haunting intro
It was so lovely! I agree!
You’re amazing
Hello Dave,congratulations on your work and your music, you can see that you do all this with passion and dedication. I've followed pretty much all of your videos on how to get the Frusciante sound and I'm almost there. in a video you said that you rely on your pedals to recreate the sound because obviously you can't always have your favorite amp available. In my case I have this amp: DV Mark Jazz 12 can you give me some advice on how to set it up? if I put the volume of the ds 2 to 10 there is a jump in volume too large but if I keep it more I lose the characteristic sound of the ds 2 (as you teach ^^). Thanks for your time and keep it up! 😊
Federico
I love the vandalism strat in the background, you should do some Nirvana videos :D
What's your take on tasking Mesa's, particularly a MKV for use with this set-up? Also are you at all familiar with the Crybaby 535Q? What's your take on that one vs the Ibanez? No worries if not familiar, your set-ups are so specifically nuanced I thought it may be worth asking since you seem to really understand the pedal and amp interactions.
Hi Dave, professional video as always, lots of infos(very important ones) :)) Just got one question. I have bought myself a Marshall Origin 50 C combo lately. I have all the important pedals that you mention in the video and wanted to ask you if you could help me get the sound that you are getting from your amp. I have seen also your videos on your amplifiers, but can't really get the tone right. Don't know if you are familiar with this particular series, there are few knobs that might make a difference, but I am not able to figure it out... (i am not quite there with the sound of the amp)
Hi Dave, Thanks for these videos. They are really helpful. One question though, what is it about the wh10 that is so important to use that wah vs say a standard Vox wah? I ask because I like playing rhcp tunes as a fairly serious hobbyist and I don't particularly care for the wh10 for anything other than rhcp but I have a Vox 847 wah that I like for other stuff I play as well like hendrix and jimmy page type stuff. I am just trying to get in the ballpark in tone and would like to just use one wah for everything I play. By not using the wh10 does it just mean that my wah tone is different but not my bypassed tone, i.e., the wah isn't crucial to the bypassed tone as well right? Thanks.
All smiles here!
20:55 HAHAHAHAHA love ya Dave!!
I have a an electroharmonix hot wax pedal and the hot tubes side gives me the john clean sound perfectly. Its kinda like he ce-1 crunch.
this comment is way late.... but.... I recently got a marshall Jackhammer. great pedal love it. My main amp is may Bugera V5 that I put through a 1x12. Have a Ds-2 and many other pedals .I find i get a pretty good Frusciante tone. I play mainly dirty blues/Clean weird etherical chorus stuff/ occasional metal.
I just want to say thanks for helping me dial in the pedal .. Love the channel BTW.
Thank you very much. :)
Dude WTF is that jaguar thing with four pickups?? The bottom selector plate looks like something you'd see on some good acid. LOVE your videos and dedication.
Its a revelation quad. Thank you for watching. : )
I think it is the Revelation RJT-60 .
Yes , just checked..Revelation RJT-60 Q4.
I'm about to get 62 reissue single coils and a stevie ray vaughan inspired body on my 62 mexico strat i'm sooo excited
And my jackhammer will also come
I bought a jh1 because of this video.
may the Goddess bless Dave Simpson awesome playing mate thank you
Not sure if you've done it to date but it would be great if you did a video of your pedal board set up as it currently is, what you always have there and what you change round etc
I have vid on my channel about it somewhere. : )
Great playing & video, would be great to jam with you bro, we have very simular styles, great job bro!!!!
"it has to be comatible with the WH10 and the DS-2"
*Yes, people, it's the Zoom G2.1u*
How does the zoom g2.1u make the WH10 and DS2 behave?
Luka Banovic to answer that question to bastianfrusciante... i really don’t have the perfect explanation but when i put the Zoom G2.1nu (because i cant find G2.1u) it does behave every pedal in your board mostly all the pedal that crank up every settings like Ds2 and Wh10
Excuse me for coming across as A bit of a newb.. I've been racking my brain and can't remember what song was being played before you stopped yourself at 20:52.. great video as always Dave 💪
It's a live by the way outro
Anxxufx1 thank you! Hyde Park.
Amazing intro. Wow dude
Increíble!
Hey Dave, love the videos and your passion! I was wondering if you could help me with something though, I’ve recently taken your advice and purchased the Marshall jackhammer And placed it after the DS2 And wh10 to get rid of the volume jump and I’m running those into a Marshall Origin 50 set to your origin 50 video specs for the frusciante sound and out an orange ppc112 and it all comes out a bit too muddy- my question is, should I augment the amp settings or my pedal order/settings to achieve a slightly cleaner clean tone? Sorry for being so long-winded, cheers!
I LOVE YOU.
Love your videos Dave! My favourite JF sound is the solo on 'Time Goes Back', would you have any advice on how to get a similar tone to that? Thank you!
I'd have to go listen and figure it out. I can't say off the top of my head. Sorry.
Thank you very much for watching. :)
@@thedavesimpson Thanks Dave, i guess it's not really a solo, more of a riff (instrumental chorus)
Hi Dave! As usual thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I have a few questions: I have a Marshall dfx30, an Ibanez wah, a ds2, a micro amp and a dynamic compressor. Would you recommend to achieve a more cleanish frusciante tone an overdrive? Also what's the best order for those pedals? Thanks for your response mate!
I would run them like this
Amp
Compressor
Micro Amp
Ibanez wah
Ds2
I would leave the compressor on all the time if your after that cleaner John tone. I would then just set the amp kind of cleanish on the overdrive channel of the amp. : )
@@thedavesimpson thanks so much will try this settings!!
Will Gullicio made a Triungular lab ensemble crunch pedal from the ce-1. He also made a Triungular lab Boss ce-1 chorus ensemble. You could get one of them from Triungular lab on Facebook it has the preamp in the pedal just like the original ce-1 or you can get the ensemble crunch which is just the ce-1 crunch preamp.
I had one and it didn't work for me.
I first seen you on your Boss Katana 50 demo and I've watched that at least 10 times!!! I love it! Nobody on RUclips has made the Katana sound like that video. I'm debating on buying a Katana just to be able to play on your John Fruciante setting!!! It's wonderful... Since then I haven't seen you use The Katana? Do you still recommend??? Thanks.
I do indeed still highly recommend the Katana. It my main gigging amp now it sits downstairs. Thank you so very much for watching. : )
Dave Simpson did you get the FS-6 two button footswitch for your Katana 50? Or do you leave it on clean and use a pedal for dirt??? Thanks.
I have an issue with my Marshall jackhammer. I'm obviously trying to replicate whats been shown here, but my DS2 sounds terrible when combined with my JH1. It does prevent the volume jump but makes the distortion signal inconsistent. Any ideas why this would be happening? Love the work you do on this chanel Dave.
Hey Dave, thanks for the great video! Would you turn the blues driver on the Katana 50 off and use the Golden Plexi/JH instead? Does this make sense?
Thank you very much for watching and I would indeed use the jackhammer instead of the blues driver. A little more control over the ds2 and wh10. :)
Hey Dave, I have a boss katana 100 and just bought a golden plexi. I can't get the sound quite right, using your katana acoustic sim clean sound. Any tips what settings to try and adjust and what to leave as is? Thanks
This is great dave!! Just found a barely used jackhammer on ebay!! So when you run it through your CR120s dirty channel are the settings the same as in the video? Also what are the settings on your dirty channel of the amp, and does that all stay the same at gig volumes? Thank you!!!
They are the same settings indeed but you will have tweak them. I set my CR120
Gain 2 1/2
Bass 0
Middle 6
Treble 4
Volume 10
Thanx for all your videos, I've been using that trick of the not so clean sound in eeeevery style of music and It works so well. I wonder if I could use a micro amp or a blues driver before the amp, have you tried any of that? Thanks a lot
I have tried both and sadly both don't play well with other pedals when run that way.
Yo intros make me wanna scream ☝😳😳🙏
awesome
Hello Dave, great video again. Next week i finally will get my Jackhammer. Very difficult to find these days. I have 3 amps: Blackstar HT5R valve amp, Blackstar Silverline Standard, digital amp but the cleans are fabulous. And i have a Marshall Silver Jubilee 3005 mini stack from 1987, which makes an unpleasant noise unfortunately. What amp would you choose for my JF setup? I have the Ibanez WH10 Black Purple wah, DS2 and PastFX Chorus Ensemble. Most of the time i play and record them with my computer and i don't gig. Thanks in advance Maestro!
Boss Katana.
@@thedavesimpson😆. I just sold my Katana because it sounded way too boxy, whatever i tried. My Blackstar Silverline sounds much better. Sounds like a tube amp
Hi Dave, would you have any advice on getting this tone from a fender blues junior amp? It seems to be quite hard to get the tone, I’ve got a jackhammer in the post I think that’ll help break up the cleanness of the amp but yeah, if you got any advice I would appreciate it!
Hey Dave, do you run the golden plexi first before the ds2 and wh10 or after those two and into the amp?
Thank you :) have a great day!
I run it
amp
plexi
wah
ds2
guitar
:)
And also what about a peavy musician series head early 80’s solid state I believe.. does that lie on the the more marshally sound.. I’m fairly certain it does to my ear at least but want to know before I start buying all the pedals I need for the sound
What are you doing for your give it away intro during the demo of the first pedal?
21:00 nice
Dave, I could have missed it, what is the order of drive/distortion/wah pedals?
@dave Simpson , is the new version of the jackhammer the same in tone? Or should I buy an older model ? Thanks
