Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2021 5:52 pmYes Roy you are right. When I first knew Dave, he was based in the Southampton area. He used a volume pedal initially, but then installed an adapted knee lever to replace his volume pedal. That freed up one foot to use on his pedals. Quite radical thinking, and it makes sense in a way. Dave has always built his own guitars, due to the shortage of decent and affordable left handed guitars. I think he is on Mk5 guitar these days.

Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2021 7:19 pmThanks guys...yes, that's really interesting...quite a guy, obviously!! And a nice player to boot, which helps. I can't imagine a volume knee lever pedal, but maybe it's my knees!

Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2021 8:48 amAnother interesting little mod that Dave put on his guitar was to put a window in the top of his guitar's cabinet, and mounted a Korg chromatic tuner in there (you can see it just behind his tuner head). He also put an early John Birch / Basil Henriques humbucker pickup in his guitars many years ago. He was one of the first UK players to do so.
As you can see from the YouTube clip, Dave is a pick blocker. He has always been a rapid player.

All things considered; 1)a self built, great sounding 12 string guitar, 2)the unique setup and pedal arrangement, 3)the clean, speedy chops.....fecking amazing.
Great Post, Mr Nash, thank you
