Sorry for my mood everyone and I hope you enjoy this video. : ) Website - goodgravy.co.uk Music - davesimpson.ba... Facebook - / thedavesimpson Instagram - www.instagram....
To be honest bro… for the life of me. I don’t know why they haven’t put you in Guitar One magazine? I enjoy making and listening to good quality music and recognize it when I see it. And there you are… as real and genuine as they come. A person could learn a lot from you. Not just your playing but from your soulfulness. I for one understand. Play on brother… play on!❤
perfect solid state pedal platform.. when all 3 of my valve amps were being serviced, and my hybrid (koch jupiter) started acting up, i had no new pre-amp tubes on hand (my bad).. jumped onto reverb (and other retailers) to grab a few 12ax7 (about a year ago).. holy sh!t !!! $30 dollars for a pre-amp tube !! i was used to buying them for $10 (and stupidly did not build a stash at those prices).. so, screw that nonsense, i will wait for prices to come back down, and in the meantime, went out and bought 2 of the champion 100s (one new.. one used).. i only use the clean channel and my pedals, at low volume.. takes pedals beautifully, and also responds very well to speaker swaps.. jump in.. the solid state water is fine indeed.. rock on dave.. one of the truly great spirits wandering on the "tube"..
Not just playing guitar (although doing that with awesomeness) but producing a soundscape that , like a picture, evokes mood and feeling way beyond what simple notes can achieve. With every shade of touch and feel colour this is virtuoso musicianship of the highest order.
Hey Dave, sorry to hear that you are not feeling great at the moment. If you ever want to talk, get in touch and reach out. You are an amazing guy, a fantastic guitar player, and an all round nice bloke. Keep your chin up buddy. You are much loved by a hell of a lot of people.
Being 65 I’ve listened to some great guitarists over 5 decades of music and I still play guitar myself. Put them all together and we have Dave!! Talent on every level with a touch and feel of all the greats strummers who are still with us and those that have passed on. Thank you Dave!!
Found this years later! I have this amo and am trying to get the most out of it! Love it so far. Some day I’ll get a Princeton reverb but for now this thing is awesome! Hope things are going well. Looking through the comments it sounds like things weren’t great a few years back
Hello Dave, I know this video is 4 years old but that doesn't matter. You and your playing truly bring out the best of this amplifier. Thank you for this demonstration and all the time you put into it.
Dave might be one of the very Few men alive on Earth that can make you feel ECSTATIC while he himself is seriously "Dejected" and down in the dumps. Even in Dave's pain he faithfully transforms it to our Gain. Thank You so very much Sir David! You are in fact doing here what Musicians like you were Born and gifted by God to do: to cheer the world up back to its senses and make others' Lives FAR more bearable. You have absolutely done that for me and regularly too and with the Super CONVENIENCE OF You Tube also, besides all of the extremely useful and very practical things I've learned from your AWESOME channel; and really Awesome it is.
Once again Mr.Simpson I'm blown away by your improvised playing. You've taken amp demos to a new level! I would like to think this is what it would have been like to have Rory Gallagher come round to visit and try out some guitars and amps! Keep smiling Dave, we're here for you!
Dear Dave, Your honesty is very much appreciated. I stop by your channel often to listen to the amazing opening jams, and in today's your "mood" shone through in the most sincere, beautiful way. I hope you recover from this nose dive swiftly, so you can blast off into the guitar god stratosphere once again! Much love, Albert
A Dave Simpson upload has become an integral part of life . Nice review and , as ever , your playing is a pleasure to hear. Keep it going , man , and hoping tomorrow is a better day .
I come back every once in awhile to this demo. I think cause of the emotional place you were in at that time it just came through your playing so beautifully. Still love this jam it’s one of my favorites you’ve ever done. I’m so excited you got the new tonemaster deluxe, Cause it’s great to get to hear you play through a Fender amp like that all the time now. That amp is absolutely brilliant, and I’m thinking about getting the Twin or the Deluxe myself now. I haven’t wanted a new amp in along time, but those are the Fender amps I’ve always wanted. All the tone without the fuss of tubes. Anyhow, take care. Can’t wait to hear more of that new amp.
Dave, you are one of my favorite guitar players. I've gotten away from playing guitar before and you were the only guitar channel I kept. You always inspire me bro. Much love!
This video got me to buy the amp. I could not find another video with a good enough capture of its sound in a room. Everything else was close miked, which doesn't do this amp justice. Fender amps, when done right, absolutely fill the room with tone and sound. I can't wait until next Friday to play mine!
Reporting back! The Champ exceeded my expectations with the clean and edge of breakup sounds, and it takes pedals like a.. Champ! The reverb is very close to that of its analog counterparts, and it fills the room with big sound. All boxes checked. The effects are decent but not great. Good enough for practice but pedals are the way to go.
thanks for such a great amp review Dave, I have this amp. I'm surprised other youtubers like ola, andertins, or Spector sound studios haven't made a review of this amp yet as its a very affordable gem of an amp, so thank you Dave . it is a beast, I'm a metal/industrial/blues player, and this amp can do it all. it has great metal tones you can dial in and with the pedals of your choice your sounds only limits depend on what you can do, it is a fender after all, lol. for a 2x12 amp it was biggest bang for the buck I could afford. (here in Canada it's $499.00 and change) most 2x12 amps here start in the $600.00 range. you can gig with it live and studio, but she is VERY loud so if your in an apartment like I am, its a good idea to get a good set of headphones. the aux input is perfect for jamming along with demos or any mp3 player/phone, etc. Dave your an amazing guitarist are you gonna release any music ? please do sir ! in closing I'll say its not the hardships that pass through our lives that define us, its how we overcome and persevere the hardships that defines us. keep rocking Dave, we love ya dude !
Thanks for the detailed demo on the clean channel. What I’ve really been looking for is a Fender-voiced, analog, solid state amp with two 12”inch speakers, and there doesn’t seem to be any more options like that anymore now that the Frontman’s and such have been discontinued. So I’m looking at this amp, not for the digital amp section, but for its analog power amp and 2-12 format. I think the preamp might even be analog, but at the very least, it has an input for the power amp so I could just use that with an external preamp.
These solid state amps have come a long way in 20 years. Way better than the old fender frontman amps. I played a champ 100 one day and it was just as clean and clear as my Twin Reverb. I was very impressed
I just ordered this amp, excellent tones. I have several tube amps but still I want this amp, too, for it's simplicity and multitude of beautiful tones. Dave, I wish you get all you wish for in life. You are a genuine person and a superb, soulful guitarist.
I just bought a Mexican Player Strat (Sunburst) and a Champion 100. I'm excited .😀 Your playing is relaxing. I just watched the review on the amp. I hope I got a good one. Awesome! Thank You.🙂
Thanks to your amazing demo video of this amp I went out and bought one yesterday....I can't believe how great it sounds and how versatile it is at such a great price...as always thank you for being my favorite you tube guitar player
Hope you’re feeling more cheered up by now my man. cool story about this amp. i walk into guitar center with my buddy and i was immediately drawn to it. i always loved fender amps, and it looked like a twin at first to me. so my buddy and i walked over to it and looked at the price tag. $89! in the used section. the only “problem” was that someone put really high quality wheels on the bottom of it! so we asked an employee and they said it was mislabeled but we could have it for the price that was listed... now we always run it alongside my $800 blues deluxe for gigs and that beast of a $89 amp sure keeps up... sounds great. love it
Dave aside from your gift of music, you are an inspiring soul. Your friendship with me on FB had me telling people for weeks we were friends. Your videos have helped me so much. I am thankful to have found you. You telling us about your life gives me courage to face my demons and hard times. Prayers for you daily Dave, God gave you the gift you have and God gave you to all of us! Good Gravy we love you Davey!!
Dave, I know nothing can be said to take away the pain. All I can tell you is that you give me great joy and that your genuine personality and your humility encourages me to do the same. I love hiding how I feel from everyone. But thank you for helping me remember it’s okay to not be alright and be broken inside. You’re a good man sir.
Dave, Hang in there man. You have a lot of people on your side. I have one of these amps and now you have given the BEST review on how to make it sound the way it should! Thank you!
Hey Dave I am not at your your playing ability but I tell you in all honesty, the guitar for me is an outlet when I have those days and even now when I look for that light at the end of the tunnel, the guitar is my light, each note each sound lets me escape , but dude you playing is sublime full of passion, which is rare today in musicians
You are the light the guitat is the expansion of your own light... coming to the end of tunnel which there also light is like forgetting you also has light.... 😊😊😊
Sorry to hear your under the weather Dave , praying for your fast recovery!!!! I use to own the Frontman 100watt amp and holy moly I love it very much , the volume knob if I just move it a smudge to level 1 vol it was loudness from hell and I didn’t care for it so early in volume - besides my neighbors cussing 🤬 was really inspiring at 3am...lol. With Fromtman 100watt , ppl would use it loudly for long playing times then amp would break down eventually & sometimes during gigs. Hoping Champion models fix those issues. Your review brought back many memories of my frontman 👍 I may cave in 1 day and get this champion 100watt model because I swear both amp faces are identical setting knobs ... Does anyone out there know how to lower loud volumes maybe adding a device? , btw I like loud but not out of gate , like to make it to level 2 b4 -BAM!!! Let’s Rock .. lol
They say you can't please all of people all of the time,Dave,you must have come close with that excellent.Something for everyone I just loved it,so many different styles,you're such a good player. Les Wynn
47 k subscribers. Your legend is growing. The dips will only make the highs for you even more special. Look forward to seeing these peaks in your life and how it comes through in you music. You are the man. Hang in there.
Absolutely love your playing sir your soul, with all its warbling of emotion, shines through the haze of your illness. Beautiful playing sir that just stirs the soul inside me.
Damn man I wish I could lift your spirits as you do for us. Things can only get better brother. Good vibes and cyber hugs comin your way. Hope your day turns around Dave.
In searching for info on the Champion 100 I came upon this video, like another viewer I saw the length of the video and almost moved on to another, but the guitar playing hooked me, fantastic! Great sound and playing, mesmerizing. Has inspired me to keep trying to play. So now I am subscribing.
WOW! I’ve just discovered your channel and all I can say is, simply amazingly awesome playing! The emotion and feeling portrayed is mind blowing! Love it! The changes in between some of the bends, with the deep, distorted power coming through, holy Shit! You’ve inspired me! Guess what I’m practicing tomorrow!
Hey Dave, you sound great, love you're review of that Champion amp, you're guitar playing is great, you play with a lot of feeling, love it, and that Jet guitar sounds incredible, thank you 👍👍
I actually went with a different amp but wanted to stop and tell you that your playing was beautiful, man! I see a million shredders and they almost all lack FEELING. And your playing was ALL feeling. Thanks for sharing it.
The BEST video on this amp. I saw other playing and didnt like the sound at all. But i loved EVERY tone you got here. Im planning on getting one just because of this. Awesome playing, bro
I have it and i consider it one of the best deal ever! 100% fender tones, infinite volume and and it's not heavy. Obviously it has some limitations but it swallow pedals like no other and with a weird fuzz pedal it is very impressive.
You are the reason why I bought the amp 3 days ago I’m freaking out how great a 409 dollars Canadian amp sound amazing amp and your an incredible soulfoul guitarist keep playing 💎👍🏻
I stumbled on this by accident, looking for amps. They are some seriously beautiful bends. What a tone. Flawless 👏 like Gilmour, Frusciante and Hendrix teamed up to create a guitar player in their image.
Bit late for the party …. but I’ve just recently got hold of an extremely tidy Fender Champion 100 for the princely sum of £100. I’d agree with everything you say about this amp, including the “something missing” part. I’ve just swapped the speakers out for a pair of speakers I removed from a 1973 Hiwatt 4x12 cab many years ago, and the results are very positive. Much better mids, Chrystal clear top, and nice tight lows. I’d now be happy to gig this amp anywhere. Overnight, I’ve quadrupled the value of the amp …. and doubled it’s weight! Totally worth it though 😊
Beautiful playing man. I saw the length of this video and almost passed up clicking on it bcuz of that...so glad I did...even just for that amazing intro. Stunning.
Oh and thanks for being one of the most genuine and decent people on the Tube... My 11 and 9 year old Tele playing mini me's think you're bloody awesome and totally human. And the unboxing of that Gear4Music relic in the van they thought was awesome. I hope your parents are hugely proud of you. You make a difference.
This is the amp I have , I’m still a rookie and I just started playing again this year at 40 years old. Hadn’t played since I was prob 14-15. Love my fender champ and love following you on the tube Dave! I think you’re prob around my age maybe you’re a little younger ? 36-40 would be my guess. Love your Frusciante tone videos and everything else you do. Thanks for all the inspiration my dude !! Hopefully one day I can come see the UK and hang out w ya! Much ❤from Minot, North Dakota USA 😎🤙🏼
Good honest talking again Dave, don't worry, there's plenty of us folks that feel shitty, down and don't feel the need to put a front on. You're an inspiration. I can't play for shit but you keep me at it 🙂
You just started to pop up in my recommended videos. I then searched YT for a review of this amp yours popped up! Wow, what a review! What a player 🙂 thank you!
Hi guys, i own a fender champ 100 as well, and i use the BF 3 with gain at about 5-6-7 (depends on how you like it, play with that) treble on 5-6, mids at 7-8 and lows at 2-3 (maybe more for the bridge pickup) That setting i found it to be very close and good for anyone interested, maybe try dial the tone you are looking for with that estimate settings...
Been down on this amp for a while. Sounding too waspish during gigs. This will help a lot to get more out of it. Thank you. I also need to practise more....a lot more ! Awesome vibe Dave . Take care.
Dave you're the single most genuine and authentic youtube personality. I wish you all the best.
Thank you very much. : )
Totally agree!
Awesome. Playing. I like copying your style. Why are you not on TV every night ??
I agree nice review
You know, sometimes I miss John Frusciante new solos and new guitar stuff....but then I realize that we have Dave Simpson and his intro solos
Thank you very much. : )
On one hand, thats very true, on the other hand, now we may have both sooner or later and quiet honestly thats incredible to me.
Meh. Frusciante is so overrated, IMHO.
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 Wholeheartedly agree.
@@richietownsend6737 cant play it cant copy it..can only try to sound like it and that is as far as it goes and thats cool

It's notes ...
I know it’s 4 years old but the groove you broke into just past the hour mark was simply nasty
Hey Dave, sorry to hear that you are not feeling great at the moment. If you ever want to talk, get in touch and reach out.
You are an amazing guy, a fantastic guitar player, and an all round nice bloke.
Keep your chin up buddy. You are much loved by a hell of a lot of people.
Thank you very much. That means so much to me. : )
One can predict what mood Dave is in from his intros.
Being 65 I’ve listened to some great guitarists over 5 decades of music and I still play guitar myself.
Put them all together and we have Dave!!
Talent on every level with a touch and feel of all the greats strummers who are still with us and those that have passed on.
Thank you Dave!!
Found this years later! I have this amo and am trying to get the most out of it! Love it so far. Some day I’ll get a Princeton reverb but for now this thing is awesome! Hope things are going well. Looking through the comments it sounds like things weren’t great a few years back
Had one of these for 3 years. Was hesitant about it at first but I love it and it’s still my main amp.
Hello Dave, I know this video is 4 years old but that doesn't matter. You and your playing truly bring out the best of this amplifier. Thank you for this demonstration and all the time you put into it.
Flat out the best demo of this amp out there Fender should be paying you to sell this amp because I’m sold !!!thank you very much for the demo👍🏾🎸
You make every amp and guitar sound great, THANKS for remind us that the player is the most important piece of the equation.
Keep strong Dave! I hope all turns out well for you!
Thank you very much. : )
Dave might be one of the very Few men alive on Earth that can make you feel ECSTATIC while he himself is seriously "Dejected" and down in the dumps. Even in Dave's pain he faithfully transforms it to our Gain. Thank You so very much Sir David!

What is the power output of this amp ? What is the price?
Dear Dave,
Your honesty is very much appreciated. I stop by your channel often to listen to the amazing opening jams, and in today's your "mood" shone through in the most sincere, beautiful way. I hope you recover from this nose dive swiftly, so you can blast off into the guitar god stratosphere once again!
Much love,

Just beautiful man, 4years ago! Wow the time it does fly. 👍👍👍
Morning Dave which would you prefer Orange cr60 , fender champ 100 or 40. Or something else just for home 👍
These solid state amps have come a long way in 20 years. Way better than the old fender frontman amps. I played a champ 100 one day and it was just as clean and clear as my Twin Reverb. I was very impressed

Just tears it up..... I can't play country!😂 Priceless!!
I loved that bit of country picking! Like Chet Atkins no problemo!

Dave, you can make any guitar and any amp sing. Hats off to you, mate. And may you find a safe and serene path through your troubles.
Thank you very much. : )
Sorry to hear your under the weather Dave , praying for your fast recovery!!!!
I use to own the Frontman 100watt amp and holy moly I love it very much , the volume knob if I just move it a smudge to level 1 vol
it was loudness from hell and I didn’t care for it so early in volume - besides my neighbors cussing 🤬 was really inspiring at 3am...lol.
With Fromtman 100watt , ppl would use it loudly for long playing times then amp would break down eventually & sometimes during gigs.
Hoping Champion models fix those issues.
Your review brought back many memories of my frontman 👍
I may cave in 1 day and get this champion 100watt model because I swear both amp faces are identical setting knobs ...
Does anyone out there know how to lower loud volumes maybe adding a device? , btw I like loud but not out of gate , like to make it to level 2 b4 -BAM!!! Let’s Rock .. lol
Thank you very much. : )
You can use an effects pedal as a volume control.
They say you can't please all of people all of the time,Dave,you must have come close with that excellent.Something for everyone I just loved it,so many different styles,you're such a good player.

Thank you very much. : )
I own a champion 100 they are fantastic amps I love the the super champ tweed model it sounds great with my Tele and my Gibson 50s gold top les Paul!
Thanks, those are the questions I wanted answered. I have a tele and a 50s LP. Time to upgrade my amp

You Are A Fantastic Person And A Awesome Player.
NEVER Forget That.
Thank you very much. : )
Thanks Dave I have one and it’s good when low cost amps get reviewd
Thank you very much for watching. : )
Thank you for being such a good guitar player Dave.
Hey Dave, you sound great, love you're review of that Champion amp, you're guitar playing is great, you play with a lot of feeling, love it, and that Jet guitar sounds incredible, thank you 👍👍
Dave your honesty is so refreshing. I relate to what you said regarding how you were feeling. I get ya
I just got a Champion 100 yesterday. Great solid -state amp.
YOUR MOOD IS FINE, YOUR PLAYING REFLECTS HOW YOU FEEL. I AM THE SAME.
Amazing amp, the best Fender amp. It's powerful, versatile, love it.
I actually went with a different amp but wanted to stop and tell you that your playing was beautiful, man! I see a million shredders and they almost all lack FEELING. And your playing was ALL feeling. Thanks for sharing it.
Which one?
The BEST video on this amp. I saw other playing and didnt like the sound at all. But i loved EVERY tone you got here. Im planning on getting one just because of this. Awesome playing, bro
The first two thoughts when I saw this video were "have I upvoted this yet?" and "how do I upvote this again?".
I have it and i consider it one of the best deal ever! 100% fender tones, infinite volume and and it's not heavy. Obviously it has some limitations but it swallow pedals like no other and with a weird fuzz pedal it is very impressive.
You are the reason why I bought the amp 3 days ago I’m freaking out how great a 409 dollars Canadian amp sound amazing amp and your an incredible soulfoul guitarist keep playing 💎👍🏻
WOW!!! Hope you're feeling better Dave. Man, you just made my day!! You have a gift my friend, I can't stop smiling.. Stay strong brother.
Thank you very much. : )
Dave I feel for you
I’m in that situation at mo
But I come home from work have a cup of tea and watch videos like this
Cheers mate
Thank you very much and i am sorry things are not great for you. Things will get better. : )
I stumbled on this by accident, looking for amps. They are some seriously beautiful bends. What a tone. Flawless 👏 like Gilmour, Frusciante and Hendrix teamed up to create a guitar player in their image.
Absolutely brilliant review - and guitar skills..!
Days change. Always stay with a diamond in your mind. Nose dives are gateways to the next best things.....stay brilliant.
Thank you very much. : )
you play really amazing dave, love your videos
Bit late for the party …. but I’ve just recently got hold of an extremely tidy Fender Champion 100 for the princely sum of £100. I’d agree with everything you say about this amp, including the “something missing” part. I’ve just swapped the speakers out for a pair of speakers I removed from a 1973 Hiwatt 4x12 cab many years ago, and the results are very positive. Much better mids, Chrystal clear top, and nice tight lows. I’d now be happy to gig this amp anywhere.
Overnight, I’ve quadrupled the value of the amp …. and doubled it’s weight!
Totally worth it though 😊
Beautiful playing man. I saw the length of this video and almost passed up clicking on it bcuz of that...so glad I did...even just for that amazing intro. Stunning.
Dave. That intro is my goal. Thank you for all your effort! Here with you brother 💪
Thank you very much. : )
Never stop putting out these kind of vids mate! Fuckin enjoy listening to you play while I chill
Thank you very much. : )
Oh and thanks for being one of the most genuine and decent people on the Tube...
My 11 and 9 year old Tele playing mini me's think you're bloody awesome and totally human. And the unboxing of that Gear4Music relic in the van they thought was awesome. I hope your parents are hugely proud of you. You make a difference.
The first guy to show what the combo sounds like. I'm going to buy it. Thanks man
That was beautiful Dave🎉

This is the amp I have , I’m still a rookie and I just started playing again this year at 40 years old. Hadn’t played since I was prob 14-15. Love my fender champ and love following you on the tube Dave! I think you’re prob around my age maybe you’re a little younger ? 36-40 would be my guess. Love your Frusciante tone videos and everything else you do. Thanks for all the inspiration my dude !! Hopefully one day I can come see the UK and hang out w ya! Much ❤from Minot, North Dakota USA 😎🤙🏼
Heck,man. No matter what amp you play through it is going to sound good because you are that good!.
I really do hope you're feeling better soon, Dave. Big hugs x
Thank you very much. Me too. I hope your ok. : )
Man, you are a guitar god. I wish you a mansion and all the guitars you could ever want!
Good honest talking again Dave, don't worry, there's plenty of us folks that feel shitty, down and don't feel the need to put a front on. You're an inspiration. I can't play for shit but you keep me at it 🙂
Thank you very much and i bet your a great player. : )
Fender champion 100 watt Amp simply fantastic!
I would not be surprised if Keith Richards and or David Gilmour have watched this video.
For sure is that I am, stay awesome Dave 🤠
You’re not alone brother I’m having a hard time to. There is light at the end of the tunnel Brother! You’re the best guitarist I look up to!
Thank you very much and i hope things get better for you. : )
You just started to pop up in my recommended videos. I then searched YT for a review of this amp yours popped up! Wow, what a review! What a player 🙂 thank you!
Excellent video. Congratulations. Thank you very much!
Hi guys, i own a fender champ 100 as well, and i use the BF 3 with gain at about 5-6-7 (depends on how you like it, play with that) treble on 5-6, mids at 7-8 and lows at 2-3 (maybe more for the bridge pickup)
That setting i found it to be very close and good for anyone interested, maybe try dial the tone you are looking for with that estimate settings...
Been down on this amp for a while. Sounding too waspish during gigs.
This will help a lot to get more out of it. Thank you.
I also need to practise more....a lot more !
Awesome vibe Dave . Take care.
Thank you. :)
Hello , take care Dave and I hope everything gets better soon🤟
Thank you very much. : )
