I just made a head outve a combo and saved the reverb tank from the garbage because of you sir !!! Killer as usual...an inspiration for a guy that was stuck in a music rut !!!!!!
I recently got the Zoom MS70 CDR pedal because of your use of the particle reverb. It has knocked off a Strymon Flint is my main reverb! I like how the MS70 gives the option to cycle between presets. I cycle between regular delay reverb and something more ambient for swells.
That's an impressive control panel you've got dialed in...amazing collection of sonic delight! I'd go mad trying to navigate it myself but I'm glad you can do magic with it Dave! Great video!
Awesome as always, But I am sure "Where The Sun Shines" is now my favorite piece of guitar music. Thankyou so much for all you do. And thanks for the Pedal Board tuition. My favorite Pedal is The GV-2 Guv'nor plus. So Amazing. Cheers from Australia.
Funny thing is: I had a Zoom g2.1nu as my first "Pedal" ever going into a Fender Frontman 25r as my beginning electric guitar rig and now - as a more experienced guitarist with equipment as worth as a car it is funny to see that this Pedal was really great! Maybe I will get a used one for nostalgic reasons.
MY GOD DAVE, MY FIANCEE AND MYSELF LISTENING TO YOUR SONG "WHERE THE SUN SHINES" ME FIRST THEN HER BOTH STARTED CRYING LITTERALLY.. AND THATS WHAT MUSIC SHOULD DO. HIT THE FEELINGS OF THE LISTENERS AND THIS PIECE/SONG ABSOLUTELY HIT STRAIGHT TO THE HEART BROTHER. EXCELENT.
If TH-cam still allowed freedom of speech, I'd tell you what I think. Unfortunately you get to live in a bubble and annoy people for free until one snaps in person, in today's world.
Great to see this Dave, I don’t have any pedals at all so this is fantastic to see how you get your sounds. I think I’m going to start building a pedal board after seeing this. 👍🙌
I picked up the DL4 mk2 the other week - haven't made a film on it yet as im learning my way round it. But id love to get it in your hands the secret reverbs its has a bunch of are bloody fantastic. You would love it being a HX effects fan
Nice intro. I like that plexi. It's a great sound. I've been thinking about saving up for that Fender power station too. I like more than 5 pedals. Lol
Hi Dave, I'm coming across from Blacktoothfox channel, he did a video a month back, and it was very good and he had nothing but good vibes about you sir, love the peddle board and look forward to watching you're channel. ✌
Notes flowing out like tumbling mountain stream, cool and refreshing I’m this heat. And still gotta love the G5… been using that one for about 15 years!
BTW if you have a dead DL4 there are two possible ways to fix it I know of. 1) take the back off and you see a chip in the middle, lever it out and put it back in 2) hold down the left and right switches simultaneous and power it on, two LEDs should flash and you are back! search for something like "Line 6 DL4 wont switch on" in youtube for more instructions.
Dave, I have the RC10. It is a piece of cake to add a dedicated stop button. Put a footswitch into the control socket. I use a Boss fs7 giving me two dedicated buttons. Press menu. Turn value knob until you see control. Press the value knob. Turn it until you see CTL1 function. Press it again. Turn it until you see the thing you want the switch to do, ie looper stop. Then exit and you're done. It will stay as you set it until you do a system restore. Repeat with CTL2 if you use a double switch. Give it a go. Contact me if you want me to run through it with you.
Just wanted to say I’ve picked up the guitar again after ten years of not playing and these intro jams on the start of your videos are a massive inspiration for that - absolutely stunning. Keep up the sensational work!
I've just bought a slash octave fuzz. and I absolutely love it. It's so deep and dark. Messing about with my evh wah and My tone city auto wah with it is insane. I also use phase 90 and the glove by ehx. Some very naughty tones.
Enjoyed the show Dave! I have an RC 5 looper and keep it off my board to the left like you do. It has long power and patch cables so if I am sat down the looper can be right by me. I find it so much more easy to time those on and offs with it closer. I have the same Zoom G2.1u and a NUX Plexi Crunch. That Golden Plexi sounds really good though. The Mel 9 is on my radar for sure! Cheers Dave 🍻🎸
Hi Dave, the golden plexi sounds awesome!! I have a "always-on" pedal too: it's a very fast, one repeat delay (dan-echo) that i use as a doubler (inspired by the tc "mimiq" or the Keeley "30ms"), i rarely play without it.

Dave, power supplies, the Fender Engine Room is £199, have you seen the Harley Benton ISO-12? £85, it has ten 9V, a 12V and an 18V. All isolated, dead quiet, very happy with mine. And the newer ISO-1AC and ISO-2AC modular units look good too, as reviewed by Henning Pauli.
please dave i will pay good money if u make all ur intros in 1 BIG album or something I love ur content i am ur biggest fan u inspire me more than frusciante, and he is my favorite artist , much love
DAVE😎 Was avoiding putting the Mel9 anywhere than being the 1st after guitar...because that's what the user manual said...😊 But after observing a previous video of yours...well HAD to go for it😁 BITCHIN 😎👍 Thanks Dave😉😎👍 BRILLIANT 😎👍❤🖖
Dave, I’m also running out of options on my power supply. I’m led to believe from Dan at TPS that a gigrig isolator £60) could help turn one 9v port on your power supply into 4 supplies if you get the current draw right. Could be a cheaper option
Hi Dave excellent playing & the rig sounds awesome,can u tell me if flamma are good pedals? thinking of getting a FS02 reverb pedal just wondering if u have used them at all or any of there other pedals cheers?
Awesome Dave, thank you so much for going into such detail on your board! Which pedals do you use for your DM tone / vids? Golden plexi plus guvnor? (Into the MG100??) many thanks! 😎
Nice video... so, I have tube screamer ts9 and ds2. Which order would you use with clean amp? Amp > ts9 > ds2 > guitar or vice versa (amp > ds2 > ts9 > gtr) thanks!!
Very cool approach to pedals. I, like you, do not want to be too tied down because I improvise a lot. The primary difference is, for most of my stuff I'm going into an ART Extreme pedal (gnarliest distortion like _ever!_ ) and straight into my Line 6 Helix. All the tones and pedals I need (except for the Xtreme) are in the Helix. The Xtreme, though, I just slam the front end of the Helix with it because distortion pedals sound like dog poo through an effects loop lol😱😂🤟
@@paulyC i didn't make a video no. I can't stand behind it as what it is. So I said no to doing a video. I feel you could just buy a boss katana, ds2 and wh10 v3 and be away.
So if you were using a Katana Artist which you reviewed a while ago, would you still use 3rd party pedals or stick to the onboard effects and the GA-FC switch and an expression pedal?
Hey Dave! Nice vid, I picked up a golden plexi a few weeks ago after your comparison, i noticed that if i turn everything to full there is a very high pitched sound, is this something that all golden plexis do? Or is it just a defective? Thanks for your help keep up the good work :) enjoy the vids
The Line 6 DL4 that I've had for ages is on my Metal/Rock/Blues board now. Part of me wants a version 2. But, after reading some comments about it, I'm going to hold off on it. I have the Boss RC10R in my sights (hopefully in the next couple of weeks). So, it will be a wait and see thing anyway.
Dave, what kind of camera are you using? it is a very clear picture. Also, do you use some kind of software to synch you audio or is that the camera microphone?
Dave, so if I´m understanding this correctly you´re running drives after the wet effects? If that´s so, is there a reason? Just curious because "common practice" is to run them after dirt
He runs the pedals the "classic way" (a part from the drive before the wah)..he said in other videos that he always tends to explain his signal chain from the amp to the guitar (sorry for my poor english)
See the looper, you said you don't know which you like, on the board or off to the side. Another way to think about it is does it matter? I've an actual question, you don't have a tuner pedal on the board?
Hey Dave the just updated the firmware for boss katana 50/100 mark 2 eques pre and post irs boost and other’s should check it out if you still have it lol Amazing playing Dave iam so realaxed just what I needed 🫡

Wow Dave, this intro jam was so pretty, I had to close my eyes about a fourth of the way through and it just made me feel like I was in another world
Love that the golden plexi hasn’t moved !!!

I'd tell you what I think.

Wow! I am so happy that you are gonna release your backing tracks Dave! Can't wait!!!
Great to see this Dave, I don’t have any pedals at all so this is fantastic to see how you get your sounds. I think I’m going to start building a pedal board after seeing this. 👍🙌
Double muff is 🔥
Hope you are keeping cool and out of the heat. Hydrate!
Ahhh, the miasma of musical madness that is Dave's pedalboard. I've always enjoyed hearing about your board and pedals in general.👍
I picked up the DL4 mk2 the other week - haven't made a film on it yet as im learning my way round it. But id love to get it in your hands the secret reverbs its has a bunch of are bloody fantastic. You would love it being a HX effects fan
Cool! Even though I still have my DL4 that I bought around 10 or 12 years ago (I don't remember), I want a version 2 to run with it.
I love phasers , you can get a faux "rotovibe" with the knob at 1-2.30 o'clock with the phase 90
Totally. I love using the Phase 90. Can use it both for Van Halen and Hendrix/Trower.
Nice intro. I like that plexi. It's a great sound. I've been thinking about saving up for that Fender power station too. I like more than 5 pedals. Lol

Thanks man, that was extremely informative and useful for me as a total clueless person re pedals. Nice one!
Notes flowing out like tumbling mountain stream, cool and refreshing I’m this heat. And still gotta love the G5… been using that one for about 15 years!
Correction, G2… I’ve had a G5 for a couple of years, but it’s just too unwieldy
We have a very similar approach man. I just finished a board build that I'm pretty happy with. Got that Mel 9 as well. You got a great sound man.
I've heard you going on about your Zoom pedal for ages now so I gave in and bought one on ebay. Looking forward to hear what it sounds like!
BTW if you have a dead DL4 there are two possible ways to fix it I know of. 1) take the back off and you see a chip in the middle, lever it out and put it back in 2) hold down the left and right switches simultaneous and power it on, two LEDs should flash and you are back! search for something like "Line 6 DL4 wont switch on" in youtube for more instructions.
That backing track album is such a good idea!
Can't unsee the Mesa Boogie guitar stand..
loved the intro jam bro ,,,love and upmost respect to you man love ya bro ,,,,,
I'm on board with ambient effects!nice tune again. Great show. Sounds a little like a Dead jam section. You must be in A like Jerry liked..
Last minut when you played was amazinggg! I like to listen to your play. Great respect!🙂
You are amazing. Thank you Dave :)

I have an "AffordABoard" and my favorite cheap pedal so far is a Behringer TM300 Tube Amp Modeler.

42:29 woweeeeeeeeeeeee. Do you have to play on a set scale when doing that?
DAVE😎
Was avoiding putting the Mel9 anywhere than being the 1st after guitar...because that's what the user manual said...😊
But after observing a previous video of yours...well HAD to go for it😁
BITCHIN 😎👍
Thanks Dave😉😎👍
BRILLIANT
😎👍❤🖖
Awesome video Dave, sounds so cool 😎🤙🎸
Hey Dave. You needs some good gravy socks to wear in your Videos. Lol. Keep on rocking!
Is there is some sort of EQ and compression inside the Zoom? It sounds to me like it does! Great board sir! Greetings from the Philippines! :)
A tiny bit of eq but no compression.
Dave, I’m also running out of options on my power supply. I’m led to believe from Dan at TPS that a gigrig isolator £60) could help turn one 9v port on your power supply into 4 supplies if you get the current draw right. Could be a cheaper option
Dave, it would be super great if u could release your backing tracks. Thanks for the vid✌
I’m sold on that plexi
I get too much if a volume jump on the ds2 when it's maxed, I need the level turned down to play with clean tones
Hi Dave excellent playing & the rig sounds awesome,can u tell me if flamma are good pedals? thinking of getting a FS02 reverb pedal just wondering if u have used them at all or any of there other pedals cheers?
Have you tried variac fuzz with the ds2 together? Maaan, they sound amazing. IMHO better than ds2 and muff, which John used to use
Awesome Dave, thank you so much for going into such detail on your board! Which pedals do you use for your DM tone / vids? Golden plexi plus guvnor? (Into the MG100??) many thanks! 😎
Thats the two yeps. :)

Awesome selection for you. May I suggest getting the new line 6 for some space for you. Also why not the vox wah currently ?

Its totally up to you. Find what you want and go from there.
@@thedavesimpson thank you dave
Mel 9 by EH is my favourite pedal on your board.. when you get a catalyst amp please play your board through it!🙂
Nice Dave ...thx
Hi there. You should get a look to the Jfx empyrean. Costy but for frusciante style a must have
Tried it, didn't like it and would not recommend it.

Ok Dave. CE-1 Pre-amp clone is pretty nice. For the rest I'm by far, not a super expert. Thks for sharing your opinion. Always interesting to hear.
Dave...when are you getting the new Strymon Cloudburst pedal!!???
Hopefully soon. :)
dave any experince with any newer power supply bricks like zuma or mxr?
Afraid not. Sorry.
So if you were using a Katana Artist which you reviewed a while ago, would you still use 3rd party pedals or stick to the onboard effects and the GA-FC switch and an expression pedal?
Depends on how I feel.
Heya,
I don’t believe you’ve ever mentioned your settings when you use the Katana as a pedal platform on the acoustic mode.
Can you share???

Can do it'll be a bit until i can get to it.

Its used for other stuff.
