DUG PINNICK INTERVIEW and DEMO, Tech 21 DP3X Signature Pedal

[@MrChuckd6]

I don’t have enough thumbs to fully communicate how awesome this was

[@dasczwo]

i did 111.

[@RichardA5150]

YES!!!!!! Love King's X quite possibly the most underrated band ever, but the three most supremely talented and gracious gents ever.

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

Pete, You got to have Doug back on and Jam with him on his 12-String SCHECTER Bass. You guys Sound AWESOME, TOGETHER!!!❤

[@Swampster70]

Bass players are the foundation to a band. Their groove is where it's at.

[@geraldhartley]

dUg has the best bass tone of all time. Love King's X. Such an underrated band. They should be a household name.

[@coreyclark6505]

Dug’s relationship with Tech 21 just keeps making things better and better for us. Awesome sauce! Thanks for having Dug on.

[@johnoneil2490]

I've seen King's X numerous times. One of the best three-piece bands of all time, IMHO. And Dug Pinnick is not only a fucking killer bassist, but one of the most soulful singers in rock 'n' roll!!

[@jackbeardsall9597]

I bought the DP-3X 5 years ago , still my go to pedal! My secret bass weapon

[@angelspeak13]

Am I the only one that replays that jam on Dogman over and over again?

[@fretwireonfire]

Saw King's X open for Dream Theater years ago. All I remember is that when King's X was playing, I thought my innards were going to vibrate out of my body. One of the sickest bass tones ever and damn could those guys jam. Dream Theater was kind of a let down after that.

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

Holy Crap. King's X opening for Dream Theater? How did the universe not explode?

[@EdoLS_]

Awesome. And did Dug sing on Lines in the Sand? Or DT didn't play that song?

[@Beepbopboh]

Most likely during the falling into infinity tour....would’ve loved to have seen that....

[@sbrave]

Saw them headline @ Billboard Live. Guitar & bass tones were sick!

[@mattcornell4053]

I would hate to go on after Kings X!!! I’ve always thought they’re one band that should be a household name!!! 🤙

[@briannorman952]

This dude is a killer bass player and his vocals are superb.

[@normanperkel139]

dUg is a great friend who gave me access to photograph him and the band for the better part of the past 12 plus years.. Lots of love brother

[@iceWaterProductions1]

I’m blessed enough to be a life long Houstonian and I’ve seen King’s X since 1988 on every single tour multiple times. They’ve been my favorite band since the first time I went to that first show over 32 years ago.

[@ahealthydoseofdoubt]

Man, it dooesn't get better than that crunchy riff from "Dogman."

[@hadin101]

I downloaded four of their albums after you recommended them in one of your streams. Theres some huge tones in that band

[@rwblackwell]

Pete, Thank you so very much for featuring one of the most original bassist in rock music! I Saw King's X at a club in Toronto during the early '90s, and Dug's bass tone not only kicked me in the teeth volume wise, but his tone made his style of play cut through the room so beautifully. This interview is proof that you are a musician and not simply a guitarist. Purely Brilliant! Will there ever be a vst plugin release of the DP3X?

[@jfrockon]

Two of my favorite musicians on the planet.... Make an album together guys!!!!

[@ScottyWig]

Great stuff, , the VOICE that man possesses! "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska" is one of my all time favorite records.

[@Pp-ss8yl]

B Wigley, same here, Having loved OOTSP I bought GGTN on its release Autumn ‘89 and can honestly say that one month has not gone past since when I don’t listen to at least one track from it. The best rock/metal record of the second half of the 80’s......

[@musicmann1967]

i saw Kings X twice, and both times were among the best sounding live mixes I've ever heard. Tone to the bone!

[@wakjob961]

OMG... First there was a Pete Thorn and Big Wreck connection made.... And now... A Pete & King's X connection. My two favorite bands. Life is better than good!

[@nickfit3]

Could not click fast enough for this one!! King's X favorite band EVER!!!

[@darrensjames]

Thanks Pete for the great video. As a left-handed bass player I have been a fan of Dug for years, but one thing I didn't realise was he is 67 years old, man he is looking good. Cheers.

[@cupolove1]

Pinnick is such a killer bassist and these riffs are amazing. it's crazy to think that he was already in his 40s when "it's Love" came out!

[@RadityoPramAdi]

The man. The voice. The Tone. Dugg!!!!

[@brandonhoffman9202]

Doug Pinnick = LEGEND! Thanks to both of you guys for this!

[@Harbaksh1234]

There are very few people who will leave me starstruck, but every member of Kings X definitely will do! You just said the very same thing before I'd even written this comment! Lol

[@theshawnfussellband]

Absolutely the best thing I've seen on youtube in a while. I used to jam out on some King's X all the time. His fingers have to be the longest I've ever seen. Chords I couldn't make on the guitar, this cat could play on a bass.

[@Malleuss]

One of the most underappreciated bands and musicians on the planet. King's X is a gem.

[@revsharp777]

I hung out with Dug for a couple hours during NAMM 2013 at the Schecter Party at The Grove. We stood directly in front of Tommy Victor during Prong's set & completely geeked out together. Such a kind and wonderful person.

[@sourcescience]

Thirty years a fan. I love Kings X to the point of absurdity.

[@BelchevKalin]

Wow Pete!!! As someone said before me - there are not enough thumbs to give up to you an dUg!!! King's X is one of my all time favorite bands in this world!!! Maaaaaan!!! Thanks to both of you!

[@kariabspoel2483]

Doug! Maybe finally he and king’s x are getting some of what they are due... they blew my mind with their sound and after gretchen, there was just no turning back. No shame in confessing your fanhood, Pete! ;)

[@logrinn]

Those are some major truths being said there. Bravo Pete and Dug.

[@teddeeh]

Oh pete. A man after my effing heart. Kings X have been my fav band for over 10 years. I heard gretchen and was taken over. Love you man and LOVE DUG!!! Xx

[@johngerson7335]

Cool how Dug references the needle jumping out of a vinyl record. The opening (the second note actually) on "Hello Hooray" off of Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar babies" will throw the needle out of the groove if you leave the dust cover up on your record-player with your system turned up loud. Feedback and sound pressure are wonderful things...most of the time lol.

[@TavaresProject]

I keep coming back to this vid to hear this bass sound. It is the best ever!

[@Voxtender]

How did I miss this one! Got to meet Dug and the rest of the band when opening for them in NYC a few years back. Have every King's X and KXM album. Dug is the man! You totally nailed Ty's parts on Dogman too! Great segment.

[@robertcovell2787]

King's X my all time favorite band. I have every album they ever made. Dug's ability to carry the band puts him in a class by itself. He IS the rythm section and he and Ty work seamlessly together. Jerry is rock solid. The result is a most unique sound that is a real trip

[@JanisKlinnert]

duuuuuuude. the sound of your version of dogman! sounds SOOO good! the way the guitar and the bass blends is so great!

[@PeteThorn]

Was so much fun to do that. I think we only did one take!

[@JanisKlinnert]

Pete Thorn so cool! Pros at work!

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

Yes - my All Time FAVORITE BAND!!!!❤❤❤

[@PaulZotterRocks]

Pedal is awesome. Dug is awesomer!

[@arnyarny77]

two of the best dudes !

[@arnyarny77]

pete should tour with dug and george lynch man that would be awesome

[@Evilmusician4_2]

Jaysus Pete ! just when i think you couldn't get any cooler ! Doug Pinnick!

[@777Yoni]

Nice interview. Thanks for giving him and King's X more exposure. If just a fraction of your followers check them out, that's a job well done.

[@masque1313]

glad to see Dug get his own pedal! He's one of my all time favorite musicians and his music has always been an inspiration to me.

[@billyhughes9776]

Wow -- this is amazing Pete. King's X are very special to me, a fan since '89. Dug is one of the faces carved into my personal music Mt Rushmore. One of the all-time voices in rock.

[@TheChipMcDonald]

Great hearing just the bass line from the verse of _Over My Head_, the way it jigsaws together with the guitar is brilliant...

[@curtisprice9806]

Love Doug's contribution to rock's history via King's X !!!!! Incredible vocalist, bass playe, and song writer. He didn't sell out to the devil like so many other bands did to make it big. Respect !!!

[@curtisprice9806]

Sorry, I didn't double check the spelling of Dug's first name

[@johnjonestheman]

WOW... Pete, this must be so awesome for you! With all of the legends you have played with and continue to play with, this must've been a serious fan boy moment!

[@mesarecto6903]

You hit it out of the park with this one, bravo Pete.

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

Two of my favorite people demoing an amazing pedal i just discovered, using one of my favorite songs to demo it, with the DI out, like I wanted to hear. Exactly what I wanted when I needed it, and more. Thank you, God Almighty.

[@slimihendawg9612]

Seen Kings X tonight in Hermosa Beach, California....Came home and pulled this right up........Legendary!!

[@johnpatitucci7919]

I can't wait to get this pedal. I love Dug's sound and always have. His tone should be the standard for metal bass. He's perfected it.

[@Taldaran]

I have a Trademark 60 and two Trademark 300 heads. Great company, great tone. Dug is always so interesting to hear both verbally and instrumentally.

[@shorerocks]

Funny, back in 88 I bot the vinyl and my wife loved POWER OF LOVE. When I later referred to Kings'X, she wasn't recognising the band name at first. When I told her about the song she said - 'Ah, the one with the bass'. I mean, like '.. with THE bass.!, ha ha. It was kinda cool.

[@LilOlFunnyBoy]

Awesome. Kings X fan since I saw them supporting AC/DC (1990?). The coda to "We Were Born To Be Loved" blew my mind! Dug doing great stuff with KXM now too.

[@TavaresProject]

That sounded MASSIVE!!!!!!! wow. Just killer!.

[@arzarkel]

Jesus, I love every second of this - thank you!!!

[@MikeBurkard]

How many fans remember King's X? dUg is such a cool dude...

[@mrnelsonius5631]

I relate to Dug’s tone search so hard. I started biamping cheap guitar amps along with my bass cab back in high school. We’re talking bottom barrel crate guitar amps, but I was after THIS sound. His pedal is the first all in one solution I’ve heard really nail it. I toured for a long time, years until this quarantine. Waited too long to order one of these pedals but have one on the way. Love you Dug. You’re a legend and seem like such a great dude.

[@TheSavagederek]

Doug is a legend. What a tone. I love bass and play in a rock covers band. I keep trying to convince them to do a King's X track.

[@adam872]

Pete you have made my entire year and it's only March.

[@cta.k.a.barrychan2460]

I love King's X!

[@guitarnerd_luke]

King's X!!! Love these guys!

[@JenniferPricci]

This was great Pete! Dug’s awesome. And I can seriously listen to you two jam on “dogman” on a continuous loop.

[@eikbike]

K'sX has so much groove and those 3 are so tight, love em'....!!!!

[@steverherb]

Killer, dUg rules! This pedal is sick! I'm not really much of a bass player, but I need one.

[@_patrikjay_]

THIS IZ the GREATEST youtube VID ever...Period

[@simonl1785]

Legend of a musician Legend of a band 👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍💙💜

[@TavaresProject]

This is still the best Bass sound I've ever heard. A year later and I'm still in awe

[@garybourke468]

Oh yeah ! That bassist would make anyone totally rock out and sound great

[@TexasJackdaw]

This completely made my day!

[@Kodro2]

Thanks Pete for that gift. KING'S X the most underated band in the whole history. I miss for new records from them

[@GmanMusicProductions]

That was funny watching Pete geek out like we would meeting a legendary player. Great video Pete! Dug's other project KXM is just KILLER!

[@resington]

Bass a soooo important to any genre. Great sounds here.

[@ITheFight]

Holy smokes what a sweet video, super insightful. What a character

[@jaricklosey4607]

Awesome video! I was late to discovering King's X but I've been enjoying going back through their albums the last couple years. Incredible musicians and songs!

[@ericalba5756]

My favorite. Makes the bass more present in the band without just more loudness.

[@mhurattreis2036]

This may be the best thing on the Internet.

[@thejonathandoan]

We are not worthy of the riff MONSTER that is Dogman. Thanks for sharing the interview, Pete!

[@FlashGrover]

wow - Pete, you've exceeded beyond everything else. That riff with you & Dug is freakin huge!! great work

[@user-ju6zx3rm8d]

it is the Dogman riff

[@MikeGervasi]

LOVE DuG. Spoke with Ty a few weeks ago and he's super cool as well.

[@dapperdanman1956]

So awesome! Thanks Pete Thorn! And dug!

[@SJKean]

This is great....I also spotted Pete at the Kings X show the Whiskey a couple of years back. Awesome show.

[@rocksnob3]

Nice! Been into King'S since Gretchen. Entwistle was a fan of the high end as well.

[@LeonTodd]

This makes me so happy.

[@bassguitar1919]

Sold.....gotta love Dug and King's X! You can really tell that he put a lot of time and dedication into his signature pedal and amp. A lot of the things he says explain so well the ideas I've had about bass and working your sound into the mix.

[@strat9man]

Doug is the bass tone king ! Great interview. I have great memories of being part of the sound crew in the late 90's doing a few shows in Maine for Kings X, awesome group of great musicians.

[@anthonyrivers1619]

Dug is the man! Met him at Golden Gods 2012...

[@jamesfurr3346]

Yes! Getting hyped up for the King’s X shows in SoCal next month!

[@nickfit3]

James Furr when and where?

[@arnyarny77]

i saw kings x with ohm (Chris Poland) at the mason jar phoenix AZ, back in 2005

[@snail415]

Holy cow Pete. Bravo!

[@PeteThorn]

Justin Martin thanks, so much fun this was

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

Holy shit, just realized I've been smiling for over a half hour. I'm a guitar player, but I gotta buy this unit. I am SO sold on this idea of how the low end is compressed and the high end isn't so to retain your personality on a bass. Gotta have it.

[@TheCjbowman]

Huge Kings X fan! Awesome to see Dug in an interview - thanks Pete, your demos and reviews are always top notch.

[@upnorthcabinconstructs5441]

First of all-you are a GREAT guitarist!! How fun to jam with dUg! Second, really good interview-good questions, and you didn’t try and tell your own stories and talk over a legend. Awesome job.

[@Gorbyrev]

Pete, you nailed that Dogman riff. Fan since the early '90s. Such a good good band. Thank you so much.

[@tel5690]

Wow... Whoa.... Love Dug.. Check Pete... Out... Laying those groove

[@billphillipstube]

Your jam with DP on dog man was a highlight of today. Killer music.

[@stevenellis8365]

So much love, thank you Pete and dUg.

[@superblondeDotOrg]

i bought one and used it recently. sounded great at recent local jam plugged straight into PA. still adjusting tones when chunk is mixed in. classic rock jam so didnt use the chunk much except on improv bass solo's. my bass has EMG's. I played outside in full sun, the tuner indicator was bright and very visible, thumbs up for bright LED's.
