My Top 3 Pedals for the John Frusciante Cleanish Tone

I have received a lot of questions about what pedals are best for the John Frusciante cleanish tone so here be the top 3 Pedals I recommend.
One of the most important things when picking a Pedal for the John tone is the it has to be compatible with the Ibanez WH10 wah and Boss DS2.
I hope this vid helps and thank you so much for watching. : )

i feel so thankful for hearing this dave, you've been my favourite guitarist for a while now. I remember the mental health video is when i realized why your playing is so expressive and Im so happy to have discovered you roughly a year ago. Those other mean kids will never be able to reach the places you have. You have changed my playing and you're such a great person, thanks dave. :)

This is so impressive. This is the first guitar video I've ever seen where the presenter discusses pedals that go well together. I know that sounds crazy - shouldn't they ALL discuss that? - but it doesn't happen, in my experience. Thanks, Dave! By the way, I spent your entire talk about pedals wondering when that spider was going to jump on your head.

That intro gave me major goosebumps. Reminded me of the Empreyan opener, so much soul and emotion.

[@TheSailsCall]

Dave you seriously have the best tone out of anybody, (my opinion) hopefully everybody else’s opinion as well!

[@IsItJack]

Thanks Dave for this video, very well explained. I fell in love with a fender tonemaster twin reverb the other day, and the only thing stopping me from buying it then and there was not being able to do this due to the amount of headroom on the amp (which is kinda the point of it). After watching this video I'm pretty confident that I can get pretty close with the jackhammer (the EQ should help heaps), helped by the fact that you can actually change the powerstage of the tonemaster from 1, 5, 20 80 something watts to help it break up which is usually impossible with a classic tube twin. Also the twin actually has a mid EQ as opposed to most fender amps so that's should help smooth it out.

[@thebossbianconero90]

I have achieved my personal JF sound with an original 1987 50 watt silver jubilee with matching 2x12 vintage 30 cab on clean channel(no rhythm clip engaged) and a xotic Ep booster at the end of my pedals chain. As you know the silver jubilee is the most clean souding Marshall amp but with the Ep booster in the front I really get closed to JF cleanish grit that you always mention in your videos!! Thanks again to share with us your passion...cheers from Italy ;-)

[@IgorBlackEyes]

I loved your intro in this video, it sounded amazing!! I've tried getting the John tone out of the od channel of my amp, but it made my Clean sound dull and dry, although close to the John sound, and it made my DS-2 behave, but then I got my hands on the Jackhammer right after getting my Guv'nor (thanks to you I love these pedals now) and the John Clean sound was there, it sounded great!! I'm Just trying to get an Ibanez Wah now. I already have a silvertop Vox Wah, but it's not the same thing, close, but not the same

Now that I've actually got money a little extra money to spend for the first time in my adult life, I will slowly begin to invest in key Frusciante pedals. It's interesting to note that all three pedals here are in very similar in price and all highly affordable. I'm looking to get the Ibanez Wah after recently investing in a Line 6 HX Effects (looking forward to putting the Obi Wah and the Ibanez Wah together to jam Throw Away Your Television).

[@MajorTom9108]

What's your take on tasking Mesa's, particularly a MKV for use with this set-up? Also are you at all familiar with the Crybaby 535Q? What's your take on that one vs the Ibanez? No worries if not familiar, your set-ups are so specifically nuanced I thought it may be worth asking since you seem to really understand the pedal and amp interactions.

[@tennesseejam9788]

Hi Dave, Thanks for these videos. They are really helpful. One question though, what is it about the wh10 that is so important to use that wah vs say a standard Vox wah? I ask because I like playing rhcp tunes as a fairly serious hobbyist and I don't particularly care for the wh10 for anything other than rhcp but I have a Vox 847 wah that I like for other stuff I play as well like hendrix and jimmy page type stuff. I am just trying to get in the ballpark in tone and would like to just use one wah for everything I play. By not using the wh10 does it just mean that my wah tone is different but not my bypassed tone, i.e., the wah isn't crucial to the bypassed tone as well right? Thanks.

[@jeffreyhall76]

Killer tone as usual Dave

[@FilipFellner]

Thank you a lot for this deep-dive! It is really cool to know all of that about the John’s “cleanish” unique sound! I have a little question though. Is the Dunlop MXR Micro-Amp also a good choice for boosting the signal when using the DS2 & Ibanez Wah (v3)? I am more attracted towards the Jackhammer cuz there is more EQ adjustability but I want to know if the MxR Microamp falls also in this section of boost-OD pedals. Thanks in advance & keep it up! 🤘🏻

When I isolate each pedal, it's not nearly as bad, so that tells me the two pedals aren't getting along well lol.

My CR60 is set the same as your CR120, Jackhammer JH-1 with your settings and DS2 with your settings / Joshs settings. There is not a lot of difference at low master volume (1) but a significant volume jump at master volume 2 or higher. I have lowered my pickups as far as possible too. Do you have any ideas left?

Hello Dave,congratulations on your work and your music, you can see that you do all this with passion and dedication. I've followed pretty much all of your videos on how to get the Frusciante sound and I'm almost there. in a video you said that you rely on your pedals to recreate the sound because obviously you can't always have your favorite amp available. In my case I have this amp: DV Mark Jazz 12 can you give me some advice on how to set it up? if I put the volume of the ds 2 to 10 there is a jump in volume too large but if I keep it more I lose the characteristic sound of the ds 2 (as you teach ^^). Thanks for your time and keep it up! 😊 Federico
