Can Dave Simpson Become John Mayer Using Affordable Pedals?

[@ericwilliamson9869]

I love that you are giving Dave his own segment. He’s the best!

He sure is , 👍

Love the guy. So nice to see him getting new opportunities like this!

[@benjaminsealey6811]

It would be great if Dave, (and one other such as Rabea or Pete,) could take over the Sounds Like series properly. Would love to see him going round the shop, choosing the gear etc. Dave would be really good at closing out the best bits of cheaper gear.

[@ChrisBlackTV]

Double that, I'd love to watch it ❤️

Love Dave. Just seems the sort of bloke you could grab a coffee with and talk crap about guitars for hours. Loving these segments, we need more Dave on Andertons. Great player, PLEASE get him in a jam with Danish Pete before too long.

I'd love to see Dave sound like Dave Gilmore on a budget. Just an iconic tone that is very unique and achievable.

Half an hour of pure joy. Not a fan of Mayer overall, but I do admire his guitar skills and "sound". Well done Dave, and thanks to Andertons for this video format.

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Same here-not sure why i seem to watch so many 'Mayer tone' videos when i don't really like his music. I do like his tone, though. And the exuberance with which his fans pursue it.

[@jeffhershberger]

Dave is one of my favorite people in the world and it is so great to see him out and about and happy as well! Good show Dave!

[@raceface_m2579]

Love how you guys have videos for everyone- whether affordable or or not, you guys give credit where it’s due. Love Continuum for guitar stuff from Mayer. Lyrics wise, it’s The Search for Everything.

[@GraemeCampbellMusic]

That was fantastic. I’d love to see Dave do a Gary Moore or Rory Gallagher pedal test

[@evelbasturd5692]

Dave is such a jewel. TA for doing this guys. Excellent way to demonstrate you don't always have to buy a name. Really good view and killer tones/playing.

[@jameskesler1930]

I agree, it's great you gave Dave the opportunity to be on your channel. He's well deserved!

[@melwynz]

Loved the "Sounds like" Series, but this new version is a lot more satisfying because it shows the entire process of how the pedals are picked i order to sound like the intended guitarist. Also, Dave is very good, loved the Frusciante video.

[@tornadofire1454]

True and definitely agree with, but I did like when they went through the shop and looked at all the different gear as well

[@davidjameschamberlain]

I say, why not have both

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

As fun as these videos are I still really miss “Sound Like”.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

hopefully it'll return in march

[@sourav2328]

I think if they include that picking up items section...like what made them choose those from the shop it would be even more entertaining. Although I must say this is very accurate, and David is such a good guitarist. This is just a suggestion to spice it up 😅

[@TheDanification]

Yeah, why did they stop?

[@KeeperOfPoops]

@@TheDanification in 2020 is was obviously the pandemic, then in 2021 idk but I do know Bea hurt his leg at somepoint which probably put it off for a while, hopefully it'll be back this year! if not then i'm gonna cry

Mayer geek here! He mostly used the Bluesbreaker to boost into the tubescreamer, like how he used the blues driver and usually uses a Klon. I was looking forward to seeing the Bluesman in action for this purpose. Enjoyable video nonetheless!

[@michaellubatti2202]

Haven’t clicked on a video so fast in a while. I’m absolutely LOVING these videos with Dave! A couple cool ideas I think would be Mick Mars, Gary Moore and SRV

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Continuum is a masterpiece. It’s up there easily as the greatest album of all time. In that top 100ish list.

[@ZL1LoVeR]

Agreed, and no other Mayer album compares

[@FloridaManRacer]

A follow up with the PRS SE Silver Sky and affordable pedals doing the Sob Rock album with Dave would be EPIC!

[@florianscheding5371]

Sounding like John Mayer is difficult. He has a pretty generic Strat tone. The sparkle is all in his actual playing, rather than the sound itself, I think. Having said that, Dave does a fantastic job!

[@stevegroves]

Love this series! this is the stuff that really helps folks in choosing and trying gear, and of course the fab Dave Simpson is the man for the job! Someone stated earlier lets see Danish Pete and Dave have a jamming session man that would be awesome! Let them choose the gear from the shop go on you know that would make a great vid!

Since this series is geared towards cheap pedals, I think it would be great to add up the total at the end for the chosen pedals.

I would like to see a lot more vids with the psychosomatic drive, it by far makes the most difference for every tone. Too bad its such a hard pedal to find, more rare than the Centaur even, but if the opportunity ever came up again i would definitely donate to the cause , and send you my money for one. Love you guys, keep up the great charitable work

Dave’s playing progressed equally with him feeling more comfortable with himself. 👌

for anyone who wants that Dumbely roundness, i cant recommend Vertex Steel String pedals enough. not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either, and you get that pesudo-compression sustain and fatness.

[@paulcatarino2209]

In a perfect world we would still have the Sound like..... series as well as this new great addition (Dave Simpson). But my suggestion/challenge for you Dave and Lee, is not a specific artist but try to capture the sound of a decade on a budget, ie. The 80's (hair metal), 90's (grunge) etc. If that's not possible then my artist suggestion would be either Mike McCready, Billy Howerdel or Mark Tremonti.

[@Wieterkebobo]

Cool episode :-) Thoughts: loose the first 3 pedals and go: gtr -> zeus -> BD -> TS -> TC SPARK! -> analog delay for slapback-> TC Flashback for longer time. I think this would even be cheaper ;-) For this amount of pedals there’s no need for a buffer. It’s also in my opinion impossible to get a budget friendly Mayer board if u want use the filter effects and get everything into detail. You would have to go get filter, octave, compressor, vibrato,…
