@@BigBoiNick The Crayon is EHX's take on the BB preamp circuit- the potent eq makes it very versatile and it offers more gain than the original BB circuit so it's good for more than blues and classic rock- you can push it into some heavy territory with a good amp. EHX is awesome- I just wish they would upgrade their footswitch. They're very clunky and several of my EHX pedals have an issue where they make this "pop" sound when engaged- sounds like a shotgun blast if you're running through a stack or a good PA system or something. They sound great once on, but I can't engage them mid song because I have to mute my amp to cut them on- otherwise I could damage my speakers.

Omg I’ve never seen Dave before but he just made my day. His enthusiasm is infectious and every time the pedals made a crazy sound his reaction is priceless thank you so much. 😊

Self taught on budget gear, Dave is the real deal, reminiscent of Clapton and those 60s guys who managed to get a great sound out of largely troublesome gear and with minimal effects, you know, the days no Gibson SG would stay in tune for one song and they cut speaker cones in amps to get a ragged tone. He is that kind of guy who can find GOLD out of a dog's dinner.

This just puts a bigggggg smile on me face 😆 from start to ... - Dave just knows how to in so many ways - he's very quick and result oriented ... - resuls are always a pleasure imho. 👍 Just keep it coming ...

Great to see the Andertons team working with youtubers like Dave. He's got a great attitude towards affordable gear, and he can play like an absolute demon. I'm sure when he records his 'intros', he's tuned into somewhere else. I've seen him play Medieval sounding Folk stuff, to Arabic sounding ScreamCore., ..... On a "Shaffordable" plank and some little tin boxes. And on top of all that, .,...... He is one of the nicest people to ever be seen on the Internet.

Brilliant to see Dave. What a player, a tone meister, a teacher, an encyclopaedia and all round top guy. Love these videos. Once again, Lee was smart to procure the best talent.

The only choice I’d disagree with was the octave fuzz. The octave was too high in the registry. I think the other finalist was a better choice. Beyond that small detail it was awesome. Especially when Dave busted out Foxy Lady, I’d never seen anyone pull that intro off so perfectly like that. It’s as if that fuzz pedal was built for that one bit. Great job Dave and Lee!

@bangamullet

2 жыл бұрын

The entire point of an octave fuzz is that it produces a note exactly an octave higher of the note you’re playing. It can’t be too high in the registry because if it was a higher pitch than that it would create dissonance. Maybe you thought there was too much off the effect and not enough dry signal. I disagreed with the Vibrato section. Jim I used a Uni-vibe, not a Vibrato pedal. Two separate effects. He should have pulled an MXR Uni-vibe.

Excellent as always with Dave and I love this series because the reality is... we don't all have £5000 for a set up and you wouldn't use a high end guitar live anyway (damage, theft), a decent amp yes, but the guitar is generally a well set up mid-range £800 or so in my experience, one you can afford to get knocks and dings. My son uses a Mex maple neck HSS Strat with a Laney LC30 - 112 (v2), 2008 vintage - the amp out of the box is Class A, with 8 high quality valves and a 'real' accutronics spring reverb tank, can provide Fender 60's style on the clean, a more Marshall tone on the drive channel. And fits easily in a boot (Eric). A Jimi Hendrix anecdote for you, from the autobiography of the late, great Bobby Womack. They were both touring on the same bus when Jimi was a side man in Isley Brothers - Bobby was Sam Cooke's lead guitarist and at the time at least, his senior in capability. Both unorthodox and left handed which gave them a playing edge they shared and would discuss together on the long nights between towns. One difference between them is that Bobby didn't mod his guitar which was a stock right hand, upside down without a string change so the bass wound was at the bottom (and no neck change). As stated here, Jimi liked to mod his guitar which made it unplayable for Bob (or anyone else). However, one night he lost his pride and joy following a card session in which a fellow band mate accused Jimi of stealing his cash - Jimi wasn't averse to lifting things on their travels although Bobby thought this was unlikely between the crew. Jimi went to sleep and when he woke up his guitar was gone - the offended guy had thrown it out of the bus door and that guitar was never seen again.

well the funny thing is, the way Jimi got his iconic sound can't quite be replicated regardless of how much you spend. you can get pretty close, there's some tribute bands out there have done some of his songs, but they still sound slightly different. it's copyrighted after all, once an artist or band has established there sound they take whatever they used off the market. the closet modern artist i can think that some people compare to Jimi is Lenny Kravist, but i disagree with that.

Hadn’t smiled today until I watched this. More Dave and Lee please. Thanks for a properly enjoyable video.

Dave is a legend - you should make him a regular. Very entertaining!

This has to be the best episode yet. Dave is a phenomenal guitar player and brings great insight and depth into the guitarist he emulates.

18:49 "Where's the fun in playing lightly?" Indeed Dave 😆

Not only do we learn about pedals but we get some very cool info on the artist. Great series and kudos to Andertons for going down this road and working with Dave. Love Pete, but Dave is a nice addition to your videos!

Awesome Dave! Thank you Lee and Dave! Jimi would love it. I sure did. Great job!

I've been out of the tube for a year and it's so good to see Dave on this channel. Thank you Anderton's for bringing him along!

That outro shall become Legend! Kudos, Dave! This entire video was tons of fun!

Dave plus Andertons is a big win. I always love watching him build a tone. Great stuff.

When it comes to a few like John, Rory, Jimi , none on this planet but Dave .. so many questions and he always takes time to explain .. Loads of love Dave, nothing but joy to you …

Captain, it’s incredible you can keep coming up with great concepts after all the years. This is GREAT content.

That was awesome!! Great pedal choices and playing Dave!!

Nice to see you in the Anderton's rotation my brother...and with your own place in the mix w these sounds like videos...DAVES UP FOR THE TASK🤘😜🎸🎶☮️🏵️

This was an absolutely fantastic idea for a video. The Captain and Dave work really well together. I can’t wait to watch the others in this series.

brilliant sound love these Andertons videos with dave its amazing how close he gets to the artist sound and his knowledge of amp tones and pedals 🙂

Dave killing it as always, but the ending... too good

Awesome video. They have all been a lot of fun, and Dave fits right in at Anderton's.

This is legit a great video series. I am poor and this makes it seem affordable to dip the toe in the big ocean of pedals.

That was brilliant guys absolutely loved that. Dave is the Encyclopaedia Brittanica of guitarist knowledge, hes defo been down a rabbit hole or seven figuring these things out.

Well done Dave, smashed it again. Your showing how the sounds like without busting couldve been even better tones!
