DRYBELL UNIT 67 - VITALIZE YOUR GUITAR TONE, demo by Pete Thorn

[@bloodyvikings1261]

I bought this pedal because of this video. DryBell shipped it to me from Croatia in less than a week. I immediately put it on my pedalboard and everything sounded better. From clean to dirty, humbucker to single coil it was the missing element to my live tone. I am completely blown away. And, it's super easy to use.

[@christopherrusch]

wait. is the manufacturer Croatian?

[@Dolphinstreets]

Some tasty tones and playing there! One thing that really stands out are your skills in producing and composing your demo tracks. Have you done a video on your "producing process"?

[@Aceandbob23]

Great idea! Take notes Pete ;))

[@TheCjbowman]

Great idea.

[@JulesFox]

Agreed!

[@martinsutcliffe5824]

Robert: Pete does a clinic for Suhr on how to produce a track. So far he hasn’t made a video or online course. Hopefully he does, as there plenty of places in the world where there aren’t Suhr dealers.

[@cali3168]

I really hope Pete realizes there's a market and an interest for him to do something like this. Whether on his own, partnering with Suhr or even using sites like macprovideo or Groove3, it's something I would gladly pay for.

[@kasnitch]

that jam intro made my eyes shine Pete . quite seriously, you are one of the finest players out there . your 'voice' of music is unique and compelling .

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you!!

[@Silas-lc9op]

I use the BBE Sonic Maximizer, through my effect loop, which I leave on all the time. It gives a little harmonic sparkle and a little umph too.. Its subtle.. but very cool. . This pedal seems like that, but with more options

[@2VetsBBQ]

Pete, I believe this is the best demo song yet!!! Excellent job!!!

[@dandube5987]

no kidding! so emotive! and were those some mateus-like bends mixed in there?

[@PeteThorn]

Still tryin to learn new tricks! ha

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@gabrielperrymusic]

Don't fool yourself, Pete makes this pedal sound great, it's not the other way around. :)

[@Distinguished_Djentlemen]

Gabriel Perry right lol

[@gtrsuite]

True, but I saw a vid Pete did on treble boosters. I, of course, went out and bought two different ones (Candlebread MagaViper and an Earthquaker Bows-2-slightly different sounds, both great units) and these types of pedals do exactly what Pete described. It makes your amp come alive. This pedal is basically what I bought, a treble booster (really, a mid freq booster) except it has the compressor and tone stack. Check out the treble booster demo Pete does and then make your decision. BTW, I did not buy any of the ones Pete demoed. I simply did some research and ended up with what I thought best for my set-up.

[@RalphB1109]

Sounds great Pete. Although honestly, I think you can make any pedal sounds great. The VibeMachine is on my wish list and now this is right behind it. Thanks for the demo.

[@jackbutler2732]

Wow, great demo Pete. The compressor sounds very natural and low-noise; the range master and EQ are a great combination of features. I'm very interested in this unit now. Thanks Pete for the great feel of your playing and showing what this baby can do. Very impressed.

[@tylerjaax4917]

I feel like you could release a new album every month just using content created and inspired from your pedal demos. Simply amazing and so creative! I still get excited each time you post a new video!

[@streetwiseguitar5113]

I've heard MANY of your tracks .... this one + your playing on it really stands out/come together as a statement! Really nice work, Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

Streetwise Guitar thanks!

[@johnpalmer1005]

This really is a great pedal. I have had one for about a month now and I love it. It just makes everything sound better. So much fun.

[@laudirjunior8922]

Pete Thorn's voice sounds like thunder and he plays like the storm in his right hand and a tsunami in his left hand! It touches a lot !!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@justingarcia7722]

This is really a perfectly designed and envisioned pedal. Can’t wait to get mine! Going to solve so many solution on the fly situations in the studio and live

[@ronraducanu9633]

Dude...my wife is going to find you...two awesome pedal demos in just a few days. How much money do you think I have!!?? Sheesh. All joking aside, looking for a nice compression pedal and was very impressed with the Chellee Compy you demoed the other day. How does this one's functionality compare? Love your vids, man. Thanks so much for sharing your time ane expertise with us!

[@swingthestatue]

Pete never disappoints.

[@joshie4330]

That Hendrix riff towards the beginning jumped out screaming. Great playing.

[@TalleyWacker1000]

Simply gorgeous! Really like the clean solo stuff right in the beginning and then comparison in the mix. Might have to check this out to give my digital rig more character.

[@johnmarquez333]

Such a cool song at the beginning. The combination of melody and chords from 0:28 to 0:34 especially got me.

[@patrickfoster4586]

That thing really sounds great! It really brought out the harmonic overtones and the way it's voiced provides some killer lead tones- as you so aptly demonstrated. Good job on the review. Cheers!

[@franknguitars7671]

Awesome! You play so clean and have such good taste with all the arrangements and tones. Thanks for sharing this.

[@iansnyder274]

Pete is the king of demo as well as a monster guitar player magician....yeah man!!!!

[@nickyp8708]

The segment of that demo 1.24-till the end is incredible. 👍

[@tmitz73]

Some songs just make you wanna drop everything, pickup your axe and just jam!... this is one of those songs! So awesome Pete, glad to revisit this demo. Awesome playing and what a great sounding bit o' kit Drybell has got there!

[@fredholz2]

Thanks for this inspirational demo. I had a lot of space on board with old school boxes (singular functions) that gets there on the clean channel. I have ordered one just to save on the space and gain the easy versatility. Looks like really good small rig stuff, too.

[@SamLowry_DZ-015]

You are an incredible player. You make the pedal shine.

[@jayguitar]

Oh wow, that sounds fantastic! Thanks so much for the awesome track Pete. The pedal really adds lots of character to the sound! Well, this is going straight onto my Christmas shopping list 😊 have an amazing day 😊🙏🤘

[@XChristianNoirX]

Pete man.. I just got the pedal this week and it's awesome! It even makes my lifeless clean channel on my EVH sound like what it'd expect a great, cranked Febder amp to sound like. All the controls are really welcome.. Might need two of these in a switcher! 😂

[@markbanning514]

Great demo and great playing, sir! One of the best demos I've seen!

[@ttop23]

Man that’s a great sounding pedal. Been looking for something like this for a long time. Fantastic demo as always dude thank you.

[@icenic_wolf]

I accidentally bought a D&M drive immediately after watching your "natural overdrives" video. And now this! Must... resist... But... sounds so good....

[@tonehunter8755]

I wonder how much fun it is being this good at guitar? I'm guessing quite a lot

[@PeteThorn]

Aw thanks I’m glad u dig what I play!

[@tonehunter8755]

Pete Thorn dude your videos are my go to for gear demos! Always show them off in the mix and by themselves, always tasteful playing. Brands like Suhr offering signatures is a testament to your talent. Happy your aren't getting that KZbin burnout out you mentioned

[@elonmush4793]

the trick is to have fun at whatever level you are

[@ShawnTubbs]

Great demo Pete!! Cool pedal for sure.

[@gr8tnowwhat]

I think you need an EP of just the last few demo songs. Your playing is simply awesome! ...and that pedal is definitely somethig worth checking out. Thanks!

[@BensMusicDojo]

Pete Thorn = Creativity

[@PeteThorn]

😊🎸🎸

[@spost26]

Crazy cool track Pete!! Super funky groove man!!!

[@Riverdeepnwide]

Pete, your playing man! Inspired and inspiring I love it.

[@michaelcraig9449]

Pete always kicks ass. From one of the first videos I saw him do, the one with the Ethos Clean Drive.. PETE go on tour, play some gigs in St. Louis, various places.

[@jewelsreumund3254]

Good stuff as always you got me excited about this pedal last time that happened I purchased the immerse. Thanks for all the effort and fun you put into the video reviews

[@Arnytet1]

El pedal suena brutal. Añadiendo que su técnica da gusto verla.

[@eduardoprieto5267]

What a wonderful journey to end my day. One of your best songs. So smooth and perfect lines to that chord progression. Super cool 4 sure. "Fun pedal to play", I'm coming knocking and borrowing it. Lol

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks! And this pedal is still on my board

[@inopartners]

It will become MODERN CLASSIC!

[@Distinguished_Djentlemen]

You are really becoming a legend! Great tones.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks for watching Anthony!

[@jettramel]

DAMN! Loving the playing as much as this pedal, have been wanting to build a treble booster, built in with a couple of other effects, this does it. a Brian May type booster, with an aural exciter. Not many things blow me away, glad I woke up to this, amazing pedal, think I'll stuff int the back of my amp, lol leave it on all the time. Thank Pete, great demo of the Drybel 67.

[@StealthParrot]

Oh man that intro was just mind blowing !!! Pedal sound fantastic too.

[@F.BERTOLOTO]

Salve ai Peter. Top pra caramba esse pedal Abraços e bends

[@alguitarchristie]

It's my new always on pedal, thanks to your video Pete.

[@Marco67MI]

Great pedal and even greater playing! Thanx Pete.

[@tmitz73]

Great Song and Playing PT!!! Love the tones.... that pedal is RAD!!!

[@FreddyFuFu]

I always have a treble booster and an 1176 in my plugin chain when I play on my laptop. It is part of my secret sauce. I guess no more.

[@richardelson3261]

Great demo. This pedal is terrific been on my board permanently. It effectively replaced three other pedals so I got room simplicity and room back

[@Unusednickname_1970]

I know I’m a bit late here, Pete. I love the Unit67 and your demo is amazing. I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind telling me what vibe pedal you used. It sounded so great!

[@JulesFox]

Wonderful demo Pete. This pedal definitely resonated with you, which is great. Looks like it belongs on my pedalboard too!

[@mcfeeble]

WOW this pedal rocks!!! Did you use the OX and what amp/signal chain were you using?Its expensive watching your demos!!

[@BenvanGeest]

What an EXCELLENT video and song again, Pete! Now I need this pedal too. LOL!

[@simonc61]

Wowza, why have I never heard of this guy before? What a player! Incredible feel and tone - oh and that pedal is impressive too, I want one. The colour of that Suhr is beyond gorgeous :-)

[@PeteThorn]

Hi Simon, welcome to my channel!

[@simonc61]

Thanks Pete :-)

[@TedSchoenling]

wow... your playing on this one has blown me away. It is next level, even for you.. that pedal must have really inspired you!

[@PeteThorn]

thanks!

[@MarcCoteMusic]

I just caught Brett Kingman's demo of this pedal and was impressed. Now, you've come along and put together this one - another gem. I really like what this pedal is doing. That said it does fall well into the boutique pedal price range. You get what you pay for in this case, I suppose...

[@Brennansdad]

Marc Cote Brett Kavanaugh’s opinion should be irrelevant

[@MarcCoteMusic]

You are kidding, right? Kingman, not Kavanaugh.

[@ronfrey6639]

Sold sounds great Pete thanks for sharing.

[@FabrizioPeretti]

I loved that section in double stops at 1.15!

[@dapperdanman1956]

Great play and a great effect to kick it into high gear

[@ludlowfalls8856]

Great playing and video as always. The pedal sounds great. I have a Creation Audio MK 4.23 that is always on.

[@NGBlad]

Fantastic opening riffs!!

[@55IAMIRONMAN]

It has an old Kings-X flavor with the dirty side, really cool.

[@ishancooper]

💯💯💯

[@stevealliemusic]

Truly awesome demo song!

[@jakinstire9008]

Can we get the tabs for the solo please? i cant stop watching this video lol

[@kevincourcey813]

Sounds fabulous, but I always wonder if I'm being taken in by the fact that it makes the sound louder. Everything sounds better louder. Would have helped to have an A/B with the volume controlled, that way could focus on the tone more. Great playing as always.

[@PeteThorn]

Well it does boost! That’s part of the good stuff it does haha! You can hear in the section where I’m just demonstrating the compressor the unity gain tones

[@PeteThorn]

But really the good stuff happens when you hit the amp harder!

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

A brilliant idea a whole pedal from the past but take the key thing it did so well. The Rangemaster was called a treble booster but the coolest thing it did was boost the upper mids at the sweetest spot imaginable. The compressor too ...lots of compressors do as good a job BUT they don't have tha Urei tone. It is more of a hot rod upgrade for the preamp of your amp.

[@otokoboson]

Amazing... and the pedal sounds great too!

[@alemotter4861]

Hey Pete! Such a good pedal! Excelent review! Cheers!

[@Jay-sy5yf]

Thanks for all u do, Pete!

[@SimplyJosh]

Amazing player.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

Oh, SHIT YEAH! It's like a BBE, but with a quality compressor and tonal shaping, plus that boost option... I am ALL IN. Pete? Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU ya tasty tone master rippin sumbitch! Thank you.

[@jensenbell]

I could feel the addictiveness just listening. I know I'll love it. I use an early Mike Fuller pedal that boosts and slightly compresses for my "correcting" of the lows and highs of my JTM45 and my AC30. But this seems like I can dial it in more finely... and yeah.. chasing the perfect tone is always addictive. Thanks, Pete! BTW .. I have the Cerberus for teaching blues right now.. and I keep selling them to my clients and having to get new ones. Thank you for showing us that one.

[@PeteThorn]

it's a good piece of gear!

[@jimi4290]

PETE, YOU ARE SO DAMN GOOD!!!

[@PeteThorn]

Aw thanks Jim!

[@aduayer]

I have and SP compressor and a EP Booster always on on my board as a sound mojo thing, but looks like I will give this a try. Their vibe 2 is on my wishlist too. Great review , as always . Thank you

[@BeefNEggs057]

Alexandre Duayer Chaves This sounds very similar to that pair together. Or instead of the ep maybe a klon type mid boosty pedal like a tumnus.

[@manifestgtr]

I’ve been wanting a cali76 for a long time. I’ve always wanted “that” guitar compression sound on my board. Just never pulled the trigger for whatever reason. And now this comes along....I’m gonna have to live with the knowledge that it exists for a while before going either way. This obviously isn’t that fully featured from a compression standpoint but honestly, how much of a fully featured compressor do you really need on your board? I don’t know. It’s gonna take a while for me to work it all out. For the time being, my smoothie compressor is doing quite nicely.

[@elimhmar2836]

Wondering what you ended up with?

[@johnpalmer1005]

I have both. The Origin Effects stays on all the time and I use the Drybell 67 for a boost.

[@manifestgtr]

Elim Hmar Ended up snagging a cali76 last summer when a good deal on the “black edition” came along. Since then it’s been kind of an “always on” (with my prince of tone) like John P uses it. I use it in a pretty big midi switching rig...and I’ve noticed the two pedals that wind up in more patches than anything else are the prince and the cali.

[@julestielens6988]

I have something similar with my Earthquacker White Light. For a lot of sparkle and , with gain up, mora raunchiness.

[@steveneastburn1253]

Sounds great, love the demo song.

[@jammergreg]

Stellar! Compressor meets beano boost!

[@christianboddum8783]

Hi Pete! The recent addition of a Rangemaster in the Helix finally made the Rory Gallagher AC-30 TB sound fall into place for me (I usually have the studio comp on as well, so that's close to this pedal), the harmonics just fly off the fretboard with Rangemaster!

[@SalvoStrat]

Great "toy" Pete... thanks for the advice! And great playing as always... ;) cheers from Italy!

[@scarpossessed545]

Great track and tasty playing!

[@flytebandtampa2499]

Great demo Pete, I have the Cali 76 already on my Schmidt Array board, and use the Katana Clean boost for leads. Would you recommend this pedal as a replacement, as my set up does not have the "juicy sauce," or ADD to the board. If so, would there be conflict with 2 compressors active? I use the GEC9 as my pedal switcher, turning sauce on or adjusting during a song is not practicable, so leaving it on is the only way and activating with GEC9 is concept. However if I use it for lead shapes and my Cali is on I'm thinking weird sh...would happen. Any experience recommendations? This pedal reminds me of the Fulltone Fat Boost, which I would leave on all the time.

[@THUNDERWORX]

I was playing a riff today that is something like Rush's "Closer to the Heart." When I heard you demoing this, I was thinking... that would be the perfect compliment for high note rhythm picking in something like that. Great playing and great sound as always. That is a super pedal.

[@arikoenig4536]

Great instrumentals Pete 👌🏻🎶

[@L.Scott_Music]

Damn, that lick and tone at 5:50 was nuts! I want one!

[@jerbear1601]

Sounds like a pretty nice box for sure!

[@naturesguard]

Awesome playing. As always.

[@chrisferrara190]

Sounds pretty great. ...of course when you have Pete demoing it. It sometimes sounds like a slight delay with a chorus added in that 80s "Killer of Giants" mode. ...keeping the attack tight with compression. I think I need this pedal.

[@kevinmusso2397]

I own this pedal. It is always on. Never ever off. A must. Once you use it, you’ll feel the same.

[@RalphB1109]

PS... What Vibe unit did you use in the demo and is it before the Unit 67? Thanks again!

[@PeteThorn]

I used a TC viscous vibe, I would have used the Drybell for this vid since it’d be nice to use with their Unit 67, but I didn’t have it at home, and the TC does sound good!

[@mlhance7930]

I must say you are an amazing musician. I have been watching the Scream tour (many times) from the Netherlands and all of you in the band (especially you) are incredible! I loved how you began Ground Zero & smoothly went into Never Far Away. Did Chris Cornell arrange those things or did the band?

[@PeteThorn]

I helped with putting together the live stuff, yes.

[@mlhance7930]

@@PeteThorn thank you! I've watched that show many times & enjoy it each time. Everyone played to perfection! Especially how you blended from 1 song to another. Saw CC solo in 2013 in a small venue. He was kind, funny, gracious, humble & a night I shared with my sister. I enjoy hearing you play the blues. Keep sharing....

[@tomcordellmusic]

best thorn demo song ever

[@horrorview]

PETE! HELP!! LOL. Conundrum. Do I get this or the Cali76 Stacked? I want a new compressor for some squish and sustain, but I do like all the extra toys on this one...

[@julestielens6988]

Well a couple of weeks later: this is the the always on pedal. I had to get used to it but the compressor works suble but great , not like any compressor i once owned. Best buy of the year!!!

[@PeteThorn]

I know what you mean! It is a terrific sounding box, and would be an easy one to leave on all the time

[@jklsr55]

Is this a souped up version of the BBE Sonic Maximizer??!?? I’ve always used the rack version of the BBE unit but I know they have a pedal version now...??!

[@dukebigguns9618]

Start saving money for this one. Xlent video demo!

[@Avatar7x7]

Great sounding pedal... I do hear quite a bit of noise and hiss when you kicked the pedal in but it does have some intangible mojo going on with it ..Greg Koch would call it "gristle" !

[@PeteThorn]

Ya its acceptable ha!

[@TheDarinAmes]

For those of you using the Unit67, where are you placing it in your chain? Last, as a boost? Before OD?

[@weaslemusic]

Damn that was banging! Kinda had a Satch vibe to the soloing. Keep up the great work Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Michael!
