EMPRESS ECHO SYSTEM Dual Engine Delay, demo by Pete Thorn

[@lassalle777]

Just listening this video again and again for the beauty of your music. Thank you Pete Thorn.

[@jonnyparks3362]

You sir, are one of the best guitarists out there, no negotiating!

[@jeremydumoit7330]

I swear, Pete. You cost me more $$ than any TV ad.

[@TheRealReTox]

Chase that dragon we call tone my friend!

[@TsiratiugZ]

I've a pair of Suhr guitars for which Pete is directly to blame.

[@jeremydumoit7330]

Me too! And a Suhr Hedgehog head/cab, an El Capistan delay pedal, a Pete Thorn signature model Suhr on pre-order... and probably more that I've forgotten. And now an Empress Echo System. Damn expensive hobby.

[@mazklassa9338]

Jeremy Dumoit I can't stand it either it's costing me and arm and a leg :))

[@petermuller161]

Total rock star

[@owntone5]

Pete - With a market flooded by similar pedals (e.g. Strymon, Boss, Keely, etc.), your demos sound unique. I think it's because, as you said, you always focus on the music. Great work!

[@eduardoritos]

Boy, you're the best thing to watch on the tube, overall.

[@rodericklopez9850]

I've been looking for another delay... your demo ended my search. I've been catching up your videos. Great information! Great entertainment! It's nice to hear someone so talented, yet humble and honest. Subscribed!

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you!

[@raypolakovic1290]

Pete, your demos are always the best, and this is your best. Just...Stunning. Thanks.

[@macleanclassics]

wow.... again. Always look forward to the music you create in these demos.

[@aliensporebomb]

I love the tone in the intro where you stop and there's this.... floating cloud. Great stuff.

[@BrettKingman]

Great stuff, Pete!

[@r.llynch4124]

Hands down the best delay to date. Thanks for the demo Pete hope all is well with you

[@JamieHarvill]

This pedal really inspired the song and obvious excitement in you...like a superior device should. Great music and positive vibe!!!

[@Guitavatar]

Favorite player/demo...and effect!

[@bradly373]

Sounds super awesome

[@TonyFuentesTV]

Your best playing for 2017 by far! "This is the real Pete Thorn!"

[@garethcole8416]

What another great tune of yours at the start! Your stuff is a real inspiration to me when it comes to recording my own parts - the arrangement ideas, melodies, energy... Thanks!

[@telecasteroil]

That was beautiful , finally a delay that replaces the 3 delays on my board.

[@mudwiser1391]

Man another great demo Pete. I've been a subscriber from way back... learned to play Eruption from your awesome lesson videos and I still refer people to those videos 9 years later. Great stuff Pete!!!! You are a true Guitar Ambassador.

[@dapperdanman1956]

very cool peddle and simply my favorite guitar player! thanks Pete thorn!

[@rocksnob3]

Excellent. Through and insanely competent examples! Super likeable demeanor. Glad I subscribed! Great job!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Brian!

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

Eagerly waiting to buy the new album! :-)

[@luisownerbr]

That's the teliest sounding tele I've ever heard. Nice demo, Pete.

[@kenpowilliamson]

Every video is a huge inspiration Pete. Thanks

[@gmacdk]

Great to hear some EVH from you again there at the start. Great demo! (And I´m only 2:42 in..!)

[@manuelvelazquez236]

Another awesome video! Thanks Pete!

[@DesignWDC]

Great song, Pete - thanks!

[@jonathanlblack]

Pete your playing is always on point! thanks for sharing

[@TavaresProject]

such a great demo song, Pete. great tones and love the pedal.

[@PeteThorn]

thanks!

[@johnroberts838]

Excellent demo, thank you Pete.

[@audionutmike]

as always Pete your demo song is just fantastic! great review, thank you sir!

[@eduardosinner]

You are a great guitar player!

[@Shred6Strings107]

Pete... Strymon timeline or this lovely doo dad? Which would you prefer on your own pedalboard?

[@shckltnebay]

TL has a screen with presets you can name.

[@rockzilla5150]

@@shckltnebay This pedal kills the Time Line in sound and versatility. I'm yet to hear a clip where it sounds as good as it does in person. It's incredible.

[@shckltnebay]

rockzilla5150 you know what they say about opinions?

[@rockzilla5150]

@@shckltnebay 'They're like ass holes. Everybody has one.' Is that what they say?

@Spiral Architect What's rubbish??? Can you write a sentence?

[@henrymoreno]

Damn dude, every time you make a song just for a review it blows me away. You inspire me to play guitar lol rock on Pete!

[@liv2praz]

dude! i don't gravitate to high gain most of the time, but that intro bit was freaking sick!!

[@CCaddy]

Been looking at this one...now I will buy. Thanks!

[@basilgreen-telfair8256]

The whole video was awesome, but the intro was EPIC! Love your videos man!

[@kamaboko1]

Great demo song.

[@cliffgold3840]

arguably the greatest pedal form delay to date....great demo PT. Tele sound ready to go for your upcoming country album hey?...haha

[@spartan8390]

One of many pedals I've bought due to your videos, but by FAR it is the one I know the least about.

[@carlton5046]

is that the best delay pedal ever heard..or is that Pete !

[@TheYamaduta]

I just ordered one of'em boogers , and I wonder if you can give me some tips on adjusting the options , for two types of sounds ... but all stricly on keyboards ... for me ...

[@mattiv1]

Could that be the best delay pedal at the market? I loved Superdelay, but this may be even better.

[@pedemand]

recently found your channel... love it

[@barrewilks1011]

WICKED BROTHER THANKS FOR SHARING

[@nevillepark4068]

What a ((WORLD)) you live in ....so glad I have visiting rights (and without a passport.) Such a talent you are!

[@sjfamilomusic]

Looked for some reviews on this pedal...saw a Pete Thorn review and ignored all the others. Why is it these demo songs are still better than most artists published/released works?

[@rectangularcuboid]

7:32 came out of nowhere! Excellent per usual.

[@acompres]

Hey Pete, why don't you check out more affordable pedals like Joyo, Mooer & Tonecity? it would be really interesting to see how you would go about setting them up.

[@PeteThorn]

I think Mooer- coming soon.

[@acompres]

Awesome! Thank you pete!

[@cmillerebpl]

I mostly just come for the music, to be honest.

[@johnhutchinson3368]

Pete...very interested in that guitar reminds me of what Charvel did for Guthrie Govan with the Floyd but no locking but. Any plans for Suhr to do more of that?

[@southport65]

Pete, off topic- your TGP inbox was full-, any chance you'd consider selling that green Suhr Strat you've got with the matching headstock? Been drooling over it. Seriously interested.

[@SuperGeetarGuy]

Okay FINE I’ll buy it. Also just subscribed! I love your demo!

[@wrzkace1]

That thing is sick!! dig it

[@TylerMoss]

I had to hit thumbs up before I pressed play. Man, this might knock off the timeline from my board. and my ct5. dang!

[@xav3ng3rx]

I swear I can not decide on a big box delay. I just keep getting introduced to more expensive stuff D:

[@guitarsdave]

Yea that was cool I liked the first sound and that county tune was great I cann't recall the name of it?

[@PeteThorn]

+SanDiegoCustomguitars it's like the Elvis walk-in music, ha

[@guitarsdave]

pete thorn oh the country riff? i guess your right ill have to try to find that lol thanks for getting back to me peace.

[@elcoollow5955]

some many options on this pedal

[@mootsym]

LOVE the tones and a heck of a demo! If you remember, what amp/speaker is the Kemper Profile profiling? I've been on the search of tone forever and I really like that sound.

[@58974antonio]

Has anyone noticed a big loss of signal when it's on the board?

[@chateautemp]

What is that shred pattern you payed at the start that ended in the dive-bomb??

[@dsleeman]

Can someone please call me an ambulance, I think I just had a tone overdose

[@PeteThorn]

+dsleeman lol

[@johndeschain2156]

Jesus Christ you’re a good player. What do you do if someone sends you a pedal to review and don’t like it? Would you tell us?

[@PeteThorn]

Hey thanks John! If I don’t like a product I just return it and sort of politely decline - it doesn’t mean it’s not good it just means maybe I don’t get it.

[@johndeschain2156]

@@PeteThorn that means a lot man. I kind of use you as a conduit to sort through all the good stuff. You make everything sound it’s best, even the stuff I don’t care for. I bought the terraform based on your review and it’s spot on. Thanks for all your hard work. I’m around your age and it’s nice to see one of us had the balls to go all in and make it. Ive said it before and I’ll say it again, you’re a good man Pete Thorn.

[@fabiopeggas7163]

The best review.

[@barbasbandas6665]

your lead strenght reminds me of the energie of Eddie Van Halen. Great job Pete. I am waiting for the Ethereal review!!!!

[@dvdpz89]

That drive sound in the very beginning sounds so great. What are you using? also are you boosting the mids? Very EVH sounding. Thanks Pete!

[@Michael_Is_Avg]

I'm beginning to scavenge the market for my next delay. I know this is being called the timeline killer by a lot of people, but I was curious if you all had any comparisons or thoughts between the two? I love my bigsky (So I naturally lean a hair towards strymon), but spending this amount of cash for either I would make sure to have the best. I know trying in person is always ideal, but that's a bit hard to do at the moment.

[@markinthemix6055]

I swear Mr PT this demo is killer 😳 the Kemper amp tones ripped and left quite a few of us with jaws dropped. Cracking me up how your enjoying the Floyd equipped guitar. Will this be a feature on Suhr instruments??? 🤢

[@leonardobarbara813]

what distortion are you using at the beginning of the video?

[@bertramladner5268]

Whats the dirt used in the opening? You sound like one of the 80’s guitar gods I worshiped

[@70mcnevin]

Actually, hes even better.

[@TheSpoonwood]

Do you produce artists? the production of your own music is very solid / pro.. the box sounds very good

[@kindatadpole]

How are you going direct in?

[@YMESYDT]

Hey Pete, as someone who owns the empress tape delay, how is it compared to this tape?

[@allendean9807]

Does good delay make you want to melt frets? You wild man, you.....

[@donnievaz]

How come none of this stuff sounds like this when I buy it...LOL. That thing sounds AMAZING!

[@donnievazquez3319]

Especially Pete's. I'm convinced that there isn't an instrument, amp, or effect that he can't make sound magical...

[@IbervilleMusic]

I have an Empress VMSD and I'm considering selling it to get that unit.

[@matthewbarrett1068]

Sweet Jeez Louise Pete!! Why/how are you so friggin good at what you do? Anyways, for what its worth, you inspire me.

[@JBadalamente30]

Hi Pete! Great demo your sound and playing are really phenomenal on this one. I had two questions for you: 1. I currently own the Timeline and Bigsky and wanted to see how close I can get to emulating the "Guitar Hero" sound you used in the opening segment. Which reverb and delay machine would you use on the BigSky and Timeline to get this sound? 2. How would you compare the BigSky/Timeline to the Empress Reverb? I am considering purchasing the Empress Reverb and wanted to see if it could essentially replace the BigSky/Timeline. Thanks again!

[@mootsym]

This may be of no help as I haven't owned either, but from what I've read and heard on youtube.. if you want to sound like the Bigsky, you get the Bigsky. If you want to sound like various reverbs on the guitar tone, you get the Empress, if that makes any sense. It MIGHT just be psychological, but the Strymon stuff has a distinct sound. I feel like I can hear it on all their pedals and I'm not the biggest fan of whatever it is. With the Empress stuff, I don't get that feeling. I feel like I'm hearing a clearer, more pure, delay/reverb tone in addition to a clearer/purer guitar tone. idk. might just be me.

[@oslopez8828]

nice video, now the question, where does Pete lives?

[@spiritzweispirit1st638]

Os Lopez ..Pete lives on a Dimensionly hidden Mystical Island Floating in a Sea of Devine Tone😀👍🎸🎼

[@TakisMasterKey]

Bravo Pete, this is an excellent ROCK demo as it is quite boring to watch demos of the Echosystem in an ambient format only

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

how would you rate against the Boss DD7?

[@MoooseBlood]

Chris Davies they're different planets tbh. Dd7 is a classic though.

[@ArmandoDelgado90]

Best demos on KZbin ever...

[@ShaighJosephson]

Can't believe that Pete didn't pick up on the crappy buffers sucking headroom and tone with this pedal... ☹️
