Dave “I could plug into a Walkman from 1985 and make it sound good” Simpson. 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻

[@aksela5536]

The tune at the beginning was absolutely savage Dave!

[@jerryhorton5708]

Dave, you are not only a gifted guitarist, but you make me smile with delight when I am both watching and listening to you - a rare commodity! Well played, sir.

[@mrredritehand]

Proud Nextone stage owner right here, the future of guitar amplifiers is now...

[@ScottDonoHD]

DAAAVVEEEE! The intro jam is insane. Would love to see a tutorial of some of the techniques and licks. You're the go to source of frusciante goodness! Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@ellamozal494]

Agreed! 😊

Jesus Dave, that Les Paul tone through that amp just blew my fucking socks clean off 🔥

[@muzikjay]

I’ve watched this video maybe a dozen times. 1. Because the playing is epic and 2. It reminds me to continue learning this amp to really understand its capabilities and potential. Thank you for the great work Dave.

[@stevegroves]

Wish I found your fab channel a lot earlier, it would of saved me hours pondering on what and where I needed to go for inspiration, through your passion in YOUR own way you have not just mimicked and mastered some of the greatest guitar influences out there, you Dave have taken their great sounds far far further and created your own unique and totally awesome sound that is all you. I am blown away thank you Dave just keep doing these vids there are thousands out there like me who need real decent human beings like you who are willing to take this time to share and help us all

[@lennartwei2693]

Incredible how dynamically this amp reacts to your playing :O

[@lambyUK2007]

Bloody fantastic jam today Dave. Catchy as hell in fact. First in a while I could imagine a really cool vocal to it.

[@clydechildress4413]

Great Playing, Great Amp, 😊 Great Spirit !!! ❤❤❤

[@tarkett8529]

They should make that Nextone a head like they did with the Katana.

Absolutely Brilliant playing Dave , Cheers !!!

[@codylambert4348]

Dave, your intro jam has been stuck in my head for weeks now! Especially that bit around 0:13! Thank you so much!

[@ovidiucostescu7543]

I needed this happy jam today. Thank you 1000 times!

[@PetesGuitar2303]

Ooh my God, now it looks like this could be another amp to get, it sounded killer mate, great playing as always. Will have to check out for sure, when my Oswald comes in. Thanks for all you give us Dave, you are the best on the tube

[@finishin.my.coffee8780]

So many people panned this amp, but it sounds incredible! Well done, Dave! 🍻👏

[@RGMDG]

Love your channel Dave. Thanks for all the fabulous guitar playing and just you being you.. Love it.. Don't ever change what you're doing..

[@JanLaw84]

Such a lovely playing Dave, very cool amp as well. I’m hoping gen 3 katana will have option to switch between different tubes as well. Thanks again for what you do for us

[@blackmirror5559]

. Ah glad to see Mister Orange home safe & sound 👍 .

[@tomdameek]

Oh boy Dave !! You, that amp, that intro. Wow!!! Not just Good Gravy, that was Bisto level - brilliant!!!! 😀😀😀😀👍👍👍

Damn that intro, just riding the wah. So great to listen to!

[@TheEricsnet1]

Woohoo!!! Front panel knobs and buttons. Thanks for the review Dave.

Really like this channel the man Dave Simpson is on top form in he’s game on this one great playing very inspirational great amp but made even more better with Dave on the guitars keep the content flowing straight and honest reviews and straight to playing

loved the LP section, greenie moore and kossoff rolled into one, amazing Dave, as always..

I enjoy listening to you jam.

[@trevorburns7406]

That opening jam was awesome!!!

Please consider a side by side comparison with the Artist version. All my respect from Montreal. Martin

[@cchavez248]

@@djangle67 that sounds a bit freaky but, YES!!

[@QuoVadis88]

The Special blows away the Artist. I had a Blues Cube Artist with the Eric Johnson tone capsule, that was better than the Nextone Artist. Got stolen. Broke my heart. The Special came along that could do it all so went for it.

[@blackmirror5559]

No no no, please no! Only just invested in the Katana thanks to you, Dave, can't afford a Nextone as well 😥 .

[@QuoVadis88]

@@blackmirror5559 I came by the Nextone Special the hard way. My Blues Cube Artist with the Eric Jonson Tone Capsule was stolen. I cried. Then the insurance company said, here is some money to buy a new` amp. I saw the Special and a fresh start seemed the order of the day.

[@lukabanovic2937]

@@QuoVadis88 just wondering, how is the Nextone different than the Artist in tonality?

[@paultownsend6043]

Rumour has it, that Les Paul was left trembling, could't feel it's legs and had to smoke a ciggarette after that. Seriously, you play with some feeling Dave, you can learn all the notes, techniques in the world, but that feel comes from within, and boy you have it.

[@frankhemphill9904]

morning Dave,yes i'm late but well worth the wait m8,love the rocking head movement Dave and of course the playing and that amp is something else

[@ProbablyTooLoud]

Good jams....good times !

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Dave Nextone Special Simpson.. this says it all!☺

[@hughmcarthur6487]

Fantastic review mate, as usual. The 'Greenie' section (hope that's not presumptuous) with the Gibson was my fav but I'm biased in that way. All the guitars and your talent really showed the capabilities, Outstanding. Keep on rocking.

[@josemorales-jr4oh]

Just saw your yesterday´s video...and now this? YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@RockyFranklin]

Great demo Dave ,Maybe down the road Boss will come out with a tube simulator pedal for Katana owners . I think this amp and the Tonemaster would likely be a photo finish

[@tonycross4519]

The EL34s sound awesome on the clean channel

[@pdw1977]

Just ordered one...thanks mate 👍

[@MAP448]

I've wanted 1 of these amps ever since I 1st saw them.

[@chilidogswithcheese1424]

Someday you will gig in the States. And I’ll be there.

[@nwparker94]

and if not we're going to England

[@stephanematis]

This person of the tube enjoyed this. :) BTW Dave, the amp may be a beast, but you are for sure a monster. You seem to transfer energy to anything you touch. "Dave, is the best boost pedal..."

[@robertellis4868]

You sold me Dave I ran out and bought one it's sitting in my practice room I love it!!!

[@joaquincuervo6943]

Holy shite! Your beard grows incredibly fast!

[@jimmyjimmy951]

And at 43:10 you found the a sweet spot that broke my heart. Do you think we could get that tone out of the Katana Artsist? I have the GLP and some gear just don’t have the talent. 👍🇦🇺

[@dashahearne4540]

from 39.01 to 52.01 , you made me one very happy man , Thanks Dave , you done it again.

[@oliox8685]

This amp may not be 100% like tubes but it sounds beautiful in its own right.

[@IanLuckett]

Your joy is palpable Dave, and I now have a new object of desire (even though I use amp sims for economic reasons LOL). I think my neighbours would lynch me if I tried playing through a 100 watt amplifier, but from the sound of it, given the choice between playing safe, and playing through one of those Nextones, well I could do with the exercise (running from a bunch of irate neighbours is a good cardio-vascular workout).

[@tubetone74]

Yes, the soul, tension, release of Watchtower! Awesome Dave.

[@glh-zs7mf]

Sounds terrific- I’ve got the Boss Cube Artist Dave & it’s fabulous 👍🎸🎶🤘

[@vadwanuu7825]

Love that crispy, funky intro jam! Nice amp!

[@SWBest]

The hunter part was FANTASTIC Dave. I sat there grinning all throughout. :)

[@PendelSteven]

The way I see it: it's basicly a Fender Deluxe and a Marshall JTM45 - with bonus settings. But those two alone are two great amp (sounds) to build upon!

[@paulhiggins4051]

How does it compare with the tonemaster after the new firmware update that would make a good comp vid

[@Raff654]

Great it’s front panel too !

[@dontassumemyfender9866]

Do you know something, if someone was to ask me to describe you as a guitarist, I would say you are a master guitarist. Your playing is next level.

[@TonyLondonUk]

Pworrrrr mush feeling it very much so that guitar sounds amazing too

[@landon.cunningham]

I got a chance to try one in the store and the clean channel was beyond amazing. The drive channel was weird though - I'm not sure if there was something wrong with the floor unit but the volume was so much lower on the drive channel - I could never get it to sound right. I need to get back and spend a little more time with it.

[@caerphoto]

Strange, I get the same thing with my Blackstar Silverline Special on its Crunch channels.

[@Ray-Angel]

I wish I'd seen this last month, before I bought a Katana. t any rate, you're about the only guy talking about and demonstrating good tone with solid amps. So thanks for all you do. PS My 6 year old daughter thinks you look like a maniac ROFL.

[@jeffroq]

If you got the standard Katana MK2 Ray, think about putting a Waza speaker in it. It is a big improvement over the stock speaker.

[@Ray-Angel]

@@jeffroq Big Improvement in what way? More bottom? More mids? Breaks up sooner or later?

[@jeffroq]

@@Ray-Angel - it's a fuller and clearer sound. There is more definition and note separation. I did a recorded A/B into a DAW using a loop, a couple of set patches and an identical mic set up. Could hear the difference and see it in the wave form, the Waza waveform was busier if that makes sense.

[@Ray-Angel]

@@jeffroq thanks for the detailed reply. So often I ask a question like that and the answer is "it's just better." I'm not sure the speaker on my MKII 100 is fully broken in yet. Once it is I'll look into a speaker upgrade of I feel it's needed.

[@jeffroq]

@@Ray-Angel No probs. 👍

Best review I have ever seen on yt.

[@NicholasAmpazis]

What? No one talks about that divine blues part with the screaming Revelation?

[@LOFIGSD]

I can see why this could be useful, I have a Katana twin and a Marshall, both great Amps, but tbh, the Marshall is still my first choice, because it is just easier to adjust on stage, (yeah the Boss does more,) and I can see how this Boss does that.

[@TAPASOUND]

double thumbs up Dave! Great Job!!!

[@christophervincent8420]

Thanks on the vid. I am really anxious about the ToneMaster video. Can't wait on a full review. Because they do have the bright and reverb patch. Unless they fixed the issue.

[@gustavoradaovejas8378]

Long time ago waiting this video. :)

[@neilsnow7973]

Do you or have you ever used an EQ pedal to tame an amp or get more out of any lacking frequency? Also, not sure how I missed this when it came out, but I was so close to buying this when it came out. Now I wish I did...however...I can probably now find one used for a good price in nearly to almost new shape? I actually like used stuff just as much as new...sometimes more it really depends. BTW man you kill it on guitar. I've been playing for a long time but I didn't pay as much attention to lead stuff till just a few years ago and have since been developing carpel tunnel and arthritis and it's a total bummer. I can feel my hands and fingers stiffen up and lose feeling as I play. It's frustrating. I used to play a few AC/DC leads when I was a teenager back in the 90's that were note for note and I was really fast...I'm probably half speed now, but I can improvise over any scale which I wish I learned when I was young. BOSS playing my dude! Keep it up. I love your enthusiasm with new gear. I can see you at a 100 years old doing a KZbin video with some crazy futuristic gear still being badass Dave! Peace and love from across the pond in The States.

[@HammerFang]

That intro was sooo juicy

[@TheGAZGUN]

Boss/Roland have been very clever for a long time, I've still got my old Bolt 60 from the early 80's, synthetic front end with 2 EC83'S in the output stage, thru' a 1 x 12 combo. Great pedal platform,.... But far too loud for my house. It's of no use to me really,...... But I couldn't sell it. How could I do that ? Some stuff can't be sold.

[@henrymillsiii4961]

Dave I play a variety of styles Funk, Motpwn and classic Rock. I have played through the Katana Artist which is good but I like to use my own effects. Your Demo was great but which is your favorite and why .? Can this amp get the brown sound ?

[@MrSteney]

Sounds amazing!

[@REBELSCL]

If I understand correctly, you have the power setting at the full 80 watts during this review. (How did your ears survive?) I can’t imagine doing so in anything smaller than some sort of hall sized room. Regardless, I have ordered this amp with the intention of using the .5 watt setting in my home studio. I’d like to hear what it sounds like at that power setting…. Thanks for your thorough review.
