Been aware of and have enjoyed Dave's playing for quite awhile. However, beginning to realize what a fantastic player he really is. I enjoy Dave's playing far more than many of the "celebrated" current crop of modern blues masters. The current issue of Guitar World has a list of blues greats. Dave should be on it. Certainly not a competition, just my own realization of Dave's brilliance!
Been listening to Dave’s videos for years now, and you’re absolutely right! There’s a lot of great blues players out there today, but Dave is severely under-appreciated. Why someone hasn’t scooped him up from a label, or even to do session work on some prominent projects is beyond me. If he didn’t live halfway around the world I’d get my producer to take him on. There’s no doubt in my mind he would want to work with him. I get to hear some pretty special guitarists all the time, and Dave really is up there with some of the greatest players I’ve ever heard. I don’t think he even realizes just how incredible his talent is, and I just hope that with time as he carves out his legacy that the right person comes across him.
Awesome! and so real... unlike todays overly edited world. I have one of these pedals coming in the mail, I'm really hoping it comes with some of those skills you were showing us. 🤞😉👍
You really made this thing sound nice. Fine playing, sir. I know you have said before that you favor a constantly flowing style rather than the short phrasing with spaces common to blues style, but the sections where you played in that way were particularly nice.
Your friend Charlie would be so proud of you :) Awesome blues playing......could ask you 20 questions on so many little things you did in that 26 minutes of fire! As for the pedal....I want one :)
The Fender Pugilist is, forgive the pun, one hard hitting pedal. It knocked out my MXR Distortion+. The dual gains in series is ultra saturated distortion beauty. My Telecasters love it, especially my Squier Classic Vibe 50's model with the Fender Custom Shop '51 Nocaster' pickups. Great playing, btw. Lots of soul. Really lovely around the 18:58 point. Not a million notes per measure wanking, but real melodic yumminess.
Awesome jam as always Dave, very inspiring! I was just practicing with my week old (counting from when I got it) Harley Benton SC-Custom VB but using virtual amps and effects on my computer. Totally new to this but as I learn my scales I am also playing with diffrent tones and I'm loving a virtual Fuzz Face (free VST) in front of the Amplitube version of what I guess must be a take on a Marshall. Very Hendrixy overdrive/distortion with that. That Fender pedal sounded sweet, but for me it's all VST for the time being. I watched more to hear you play than out of interest for the gear to be honest!
First time I’d seen this one, but I’d just bought one. When I saw you reviewed it, it made it must watch. Man I love when you go full blues it’s just an awesome sonic adventure from start to finish. I think you come about the closest to that Gary Moore, as well as Peter Green thing. You just absolutely nail both them, and honestly think they’d both find you to be one hell of a player. Your blues stuff is just scary levels of good! I think your good friend Charlie would be very, very proud of you my friend.
I was on the fence on this one. Just price wise I was like “I can get something for half the price.” But I think Brother Dave has shown me sometimes it’s okay to spend a little more to sound killer 🎸😊 And that pedal sounds so killer with the Les Paul.
BRAVO! i like what Fender did with those pedals, that one sounds great, they made 1st class high quality pedals that sounds damn good and they cost normal, now that is great. What you did to LP? you took of finish Dave or...? What to say about playing ☺ as usually brutally GOOD!
@@thedavesimpson thx for the info, it looks great that wood is awesome on that LP..when i remember the price tag it is mindblowing..Will try to order one..Rock on and thx once more.
Dave, serious question. Can i swiich a rose wood fret board with a maple fretboard withot any fret problems ? It my white strat mim and love it. But at 53 it is difficult to see it
So, my friends coworker’s band just opened for Bret Michaels and w/e his band is, and he told me he wanted to buy a distortion pedal, I sent him this video.
@@thedavesimpson awesome.. Dave you always get great tones.I picked up a Koch Jupiter 45 and it's got a celestion g12h 70 in it that I put in. It's an awesome hybrid amp. I don't think I gave my boss katana 100 enough time. Thanks for the reply Dave!

My gosh. Incredible playing. The one hour or so went flying listening to your playing. Mesmerising stuff, Dave.
Thank you. :)

That opening song was crazy good 👍

Everything sounded incredible Dave. IMMENSE!!!
Thank you. :)
Glad you like the pedal. It certainly sounds better in your house than it did in mine. The acoustics must better over there.😄
I do indeed and i cannot thank you enough for it. It is awesome. : )

Some beautiful Greeny sounds and licks in the blues for Charlie on the Revelation.
Thank you very much. : )

Dave I've fallen in love with your Tokai Stratocaster, please demo it more!
Shall do. : )
Love the way you play 👏🏼👌🏼👍🏻✌🏻
I was on the fence on this one. Just price wise I was like “I can get something for half the price.” But I think Brother Dave has shown me sometimes it’s okay to spend a little more to sound killer 🎸😊
And that pedal sounds so killer with the Les Paul.
Thank you for watching. :)
Medicine for the hurting soul , get it out man!! Superb playing as always, thanks for sharing , you the man !!
Thank you very much. : )
all of your playing on this AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Thank you. :)
@@thedavesimpson THANK YOU DAVE!! you are just so awesome!!!!!!
another great intro Dave! Cheers from Pgh Pa!
Thank you very much. : )
Thats like the perfect pedal for my Les Paul and tele!
BRAVO! i like what Fender did with those pedals, that one sounds great, they made 1st class high quality pedals that sounds damn good and they cost normal, now that is great. What you did to LP? you took of finish Dave or...? What to say about playing ☺ as usually brutally GOOD!
Thank you very much and i did strip the les paul yeps. : )
@@thedavesimpson thx for the info, it looks great that wood is awesome on that LP..when i remember the price tag it is mindblowing..Will try to order one..Rock on and thx once more.
I never knew you needed tooth ache for such sounds. Now I think I understand it all better. Not sure I want to learn, though ;-(
Dave see if you can Demo the new Fender Tone Master Twin!
4 when you wanna punch your amp square (wave) in the input! try using a bumper boxer LOL
BRILLIANT AS USUAL
Dave what do think of tone capacitors ie orange drop ect
Thank you and to be fair i've never really looked into it to be honest. I'm normally happy with what evers in the guitar. :)
Dave, serious question. Can i swiich a rose wood fret board with a maple fretboard withot any fret problems ? It my white strat mim and love it. But at 53 it is difficult to see it
You can indeed switch necks but be aware of the neck screw holes. Makes sure they line up. Also make sure the string alignment is right. :)
So, my friends coworker’s band just opened for Bret Michaels and w/e his band is, and he told me he wanted to buy a distortion pedal, I sent him this video.
:)
Good job 👍
Always kick ass.
Thank you. :)
Hey Dave that was a pretty damn good jam! Would you please give us more info for the backing track? Cheers!
The backing tracks are just something i make up on my looper before or during the video. : )
Thank you very much for watching. : )
I noticed that the lights on the knobs can be on or off. How is this possible?
There's a switch. Off at home, on on stage.
I found an issue on its power, with a ussual 9v power supply it doesnt work as it should, what power supply should i use for this pedal?
Hey Dave just wondering I don't see much use of the boss katana 100 anymore have you fallen out of love with it a bit ?
Nope. Its my main gigging amp and its setup in a different room. I play through it everyday. : )
@@thedavesimpson awesome.. Dave you always get great tones.I picked up a Koch Jupiter 45 and it's got a celestion g12h 70 in it that I put in. It's an awesome hybrid amp. I don't think I gave my boss katana 100 enough time. Thanks for the reply Dave!
souns amazing good videos
Thank you. :)
Are you planning on teaching the by the way outro from slane anytime soon?
If i don't get copyright flagged i will. : )
hello dave can u say me if the pugilist is great to play frusciante?
thanks nice job
I wouldn't recommend it for a John tone no.
Thank you very much for watching. : )
Hi Dave,just ordered one of these to run through my cr120h . Good match?
Indeedy. :)
@@thedavesimpson cheers dave.its being delivered today.i have already apologised to the neighbours in advance!
Awesome channel. Keep up the good work!
