Dave ... i've been telling people that come to the guitar shop to check out your channel especially if they are in to the RHCP or they buy an orange amp. I believe the small pedal board sounds as good or better than your first one

Thank you very much indeed. :)

hi Dave love the Ibanez VH10 i've had one since about 1985 although i use a Vox V847 since 1988. great sweeps from both but i think the Vox can be played with a heavier boot.

How did it go? Really well i hope. :)

[@aleron27]

Dave after watching this i am begging for u to do Skype lessons. Your frusciante series has truly helped me as a player. And i know if i or anyone has a chance to have u as a one on one teacher they will truly benefit. Your playing is literally UNREAL! I also wish u were on the chili peppers, you are literally at frusciantes lvl of playing, and possibly have surpassed it rn. That outro was absolutely INSANE. Just absolutely ridiculous my goodness.

Awesome mate! Really refreshing to see someone getting fantastic tones out of ‘normal’ kit. I love watching expensive gear reviews but this reminds me that there’s nothing wrong with the kit I have. My wife and bank balance salute you sir! Now I’m just peeved that I got shot of my original Ibanez wah year’s ago because the light weight plastic build annoyed me.... Idiot! Brilliant playing and really enjoyable style hitting that sub button.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. JUST WATCH OUT FOR THOSE BASTARDS THAT WILL COPY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE HAVE DONE, MUSICALLY, IN THIS VIDEO, AND THEN CLAIM IT TO BE THEIR OWN. SO PEOPLE. REMEMBER THIS. THIS IS DAVES WORK. HANDS OFF. GO AND CREATE YOUR OWN, MUSICAL PIECE AND BE PROUD WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED. DAVE IS AN EXTREMELY TALENTED GUITARIST but doesn’t like being treated like shit. JUST APPRECIATE WHAT HE DOES FOR YOU VIEWERS AND LIKE IT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK KID. Footnote, for anyone that might be interested in copying other musicians work and claiming to be their own work, CHECK OUT, PAUL DAVIDS..Craziest COPYRIGHT STRIKE from You Tube, ever.... Once seen, form an opinion on what you have seen and CRY.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@MrWilly64]

Thanks for all your tips.
I'm having trouble to avoid volume jump when using a telecaster with WH10 and BOSS DS2 (whith golden plexi), eventhough it sounds perfect when I use a strat with the same setup.
Do you have any suggestion on how to make it sound as good with a tele ?

[@looneyinkproductions-eduard]

Hi Dave, interesting to see how and what pedals you love and use (it's always interesting to see which and how people use their pedals). Though I'm using my Zoom G2.1U in the loop (but I've mentioned that before), the rest is quite similar: I'm using the Zoom for reverb, delay and chorus and yes, I've set the expression pedal on reverb, like you, (though I've got some patches where it's set on volume).
There's one big difference, however: I'm using the Zoom's compression for a volume jump. You've set two patches (B1 and B2) for volume jump. Why is that? Your Zoom is coming after your distortion pedals, so why not using the compression from the Zoom for a volume jump? Do you have a specific reason for that?
Greeting from Holland, Eduard

[@SeekTranscendence]

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you. :)

[@fourkray4825]

Loved the outro Dave, I love the board itself you've built, is it just general purpose wood panel? Also what kind of carpet is it?

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed.
It is just general purpose. It was originally a shelf.
The carpet is just ordinary square carpet tile. :)

Somehow we have got to find a way to get Dave a gig in the Albert Hall ( if it was good enough for Hendrix and Cream then definitely the right place for Dave). Might be able to swing it if we donate £10 each x 41K subscribers ? Probably have an enormous queue for tickets if it's box office only !
