Fulltone TERC (That 80's Rack Chorus), demo by Pete Thorn

[@TavaresProject]

You know I love the 80's. What a beautiful chorus. Reminds me a little of the rockman chorus. That was soooooo lush sounding. Thanks Pete

[@PeteThorn]

I loved the 80's too! When I was young...

[@TavaresProject]

+Pete Thorn hardy har har

[@nicholastotoro7721]

Tavares Project Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing in regards to the Rockman... 👍👍

[@fernandes5986]

The truth is chorus or no chorus you always sound amazing.

[@Libertarianist2112]

That's some beautiful chorus!

[@tonys2705]

That was outstanding... There aren't many who could do a demo so befitting this beautifully sounding effect. Your music is awesome.. Just awesome.

[@alfixn]

You could swim in that tone!

[@vikramjitbanerjeetuki]

Thats the best clean strat sound amongst all youtube demo videos i ever heard,and hats off to you Pete on a some fantastic playing loved that tune in the intro of the video,the best chorus unit out there for sure,am wondering if Eric Johnson has heard this he would surely be stoked !!!

[@terrydominic3330]

Instablaster...

[@WhaleWTFMetal]

Maaaaan that tone ! I love these kind of Choruses ! Thanks for this great demo.

[@awesomejohnnet]

That demo sound was so beautiful Pete.... every demo you make (aside from the great info and gear data) feature your great playing and "compositions" which sound soooooo wonderful... thank you so much for sharing your wonderful mastery of your craft.. Lots of appreciation sent your way..... we love ya brother keep up the great work.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks so much!

[@Cluless02]

That unit is stunning!! Extraordinary spread -

[@IamtheActionman]

Ridiculous clean tone in the intro Pete. Fantastic

[@KristianLarsenGuitar]

The picture at 1:52 is of my rack! Haha, that was a surprise. Great video as always, Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

+Kristian Larsen Awesome! :)

[@77JeffT]

+Kristian Larsen Hello Kristian,I also want to tell you I love your music. (y) :-)

[@KristianLarsenGuitar]

77JeffT Thanks man! :)

[@Danthehorse]

+Kristian Larsen Thanks to these comments i found your music Kristian - very cool!

[@mariorojas3724]

Hey Kristian!!! You're the best!!! Really dude!!!🙏😊🤘

[@richardsteffan4471]

the best chorus ever hands down.

[@MrWaddle74]

AMAZING sounds Pete, as usual!

[@jesman1]

Probably the best sounding chorus out there. It’s so rich and lush. I do like my Intellifex 8 voice chorus though. This one is damn expensive and makes me go - what the hell man?!? I think it’s around $1400.

[@LightWingStudios]

$4K now

[@AdamIronside]

Love it, you just can't fake that sound.

[@Robstafarian]

Fancy meeting you here!

[@kxmrock]

Pete MIA there for a minute & comes back Huge ... with the Ultimate CRS Beautiful Intro

[@ShaneGelven]

Wow that is the perfect chorus sound

[@wakjob961]

Can't hit the thumbs up enough. My favs... Landau, Huff, and Larsen!

[@KristianLarsenGuitar]

+Wak Job Wow, to even be mentioned in the same sentence as those players is very humbling! Thank you, man!

[@newdayz1000]

Listened to your vids Kristian here on youtube...AMAZING touch and tone! Man just protect your hands, ears and brain and you will be good for another 80 years! Beautiful playing!

[@antitesisthrash]

80s was the pinnacle of chorus guitar solo

[@Danthehorse]

That is quite glorious sounding!

[@theentourage1234]

The TERC sounds amazing.

[@heliobluesrock]

Tasty song and arrangement, as much as the chorus tone!

[@robertfalconer5054]

Lovely sounding chorus, Pete...

[@77JeffT]

Thank you for this demo,Pete. (y) :-) I love "Chorus" and I love THIS unit !!!

[@ExplosionDestroyer]

Great video. Really tasteful playing on the intro as well.

[@tattoofred]

very beautiful and very very clean Bonitos sonidos y muy muy cristalinos me encanta

[@Jamesrobert100]

I've owned a TERC for about 15 months now - its the chorus I've been wanting a long time. BTW Andy Summers did have a TRI in the post-police days.

[@javiceres]

Cool to know B)

[@olsza6969]

do you have the problem with your terc like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGamqZeHrp5-e7c

[@Max10_B]

i replicated the exact sound of the lead guitar tone to godley and creme - cry when I demo'd the new ik multimedia plugin of this. Also used soundtoys microshift to get that harmonized pitch shift 80s sound. sounded spot on. if no one has heard the guitar tone check out the song and definitely demo the new ik multimedia fulltone terc plug and soudntoys microshift

[@VonBluesman]

Great demo. I am blessed to own about 80% of Fulltone's pedals, they make a great quality products. I would love to hear this run through a Tube Tape Echo. Pete you sure are great at what you do, you always make good demos.

[@dapperdanman1956]

Gota love it Pete thorn! I might miss the 80s I'm goin to check it out today

[@StanleyCullerEsq.]

Ah, the demo I've been hoping for!

[@msgflava]

Great demo! Speaking of Mike Landau...any chance of getting him to sit down with you and Tim Pierce for an episode of Tim and Pete's guitar show?

[@KristianLarsenGuitar]

+msgflava +10000000000000000

[@huurmoordenaar]

Yes!!!!

[@emdblues]

I was gonna ask the same question. That would be the shit.

[@adam872]

+msgflava Hell yes!

[@lovecraftmusic8717]

I'll never understand how people say they hate chorus or got tired of it; it makes everything beautiful even used lightly (whether on clenani distortion) and it's very hard to find a bad sounding chorus unit or even a bad setting. These people avoid chorus and then spent the rest of their lives searching for "a sweetener" of some kind: a comp, a boutique transparent boost with just one knob, a digital "tape" saturationnir even a flanger in chorus mode because they can't admit they only need a regular chorus 😂😂😂😂

[@guillermoseijo2437]

pete, sos un maestro, siempre admirando tus videos, y varios llevo conmigo el el celular...

[@adam872]

I love me some chorus and that unit sounds wicked

[@chrisclermont456]

Excellent demo and overview!!!

[@jackhammer893]

Wow, sounds amazing......even through my crappy laptop speakers. Doesn't hurt to have Pete playing guitar though;)

[@WiserInTime]

Everything Pete Thorn demos I want to buy. ;-P

[@javiceres]

He's a magnificient musician, and his natural attitude is great, no self-worshipper here. We need more guys like this leading the big groups and bands of these world B)

[@timbeaton5045]

My feeling is that would have sounded just as good with a cheap chorus pedal. Just love the playing. More music from you, Pete. Please!

[@stewartray6807]

Awesome Pete. This is how I hear Chorus in my head when I think of the Chorus effect. And, I love the way it covers much of the Univibe/Dimension-C/Rotary vibes as well. I'd love something like this in a compact pedal. Is there such a thing? Also, I love your playing and your tones. Keep up the good work ;)

[@Mike_the_Barbarian]

Neunaber Inspire is really great

[@absinha6209]

Great intro! That sound! Reminds me of Queensryche from Operation Mindcrime among many other albums

[@absea7918]

Love your videos! Your phrasing and commend are amazing. Also love this chorus it reminds me of Robert Plant's early solo records. Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but Walking on the Moon is done with a chorus. Andy Summers used an old Electric Mistress by EHX on many of those old tracks. The early EHX flangers had a very glassy tone compared to the MXR type, which is more of a jet flange.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

I wish Mike Fuller made That in a Pedal ( Stompbox ) Format. I love that Chorus Sound. " Gorgeous " - makes you wanna play the most Beautiful Open-String Chords.

[@thesphericalguy9018]

You'd end up with a pretty big box, there's a lot going on in that rack

[@joshboitnott]

Free the Tone Tri-Demensional does this!

[@hfm-gj3fi]

These guys in Nashville, TN custom make it. www.rtelectronix.com/_images/pedalpages/threewaychorusBig.jpg www.rtelectronix.com/pThreewaychorus.htm

[@DavidHislop]

So sick. I recently got one and just uploaded a live video of this in action. It rules so hard.

[@findJLF]

Another classy review. Keep it up Mr Thorn.

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you sir!

[@zbqb84a]

I now have a strong desire to rock some checkerboard Vans. Nice demo!

[@artartsen2898]

Great stuff as always

[@bradly373]

sounds amazing

[@jodysanders1111]

Love this chorus unit. Though I may never get to own one of these, I must say,if I'm gonna play,I'm using some type of chorus sound.

[@AidenBradley95]

The 80s are here again!

[@mikemurphy5716]

I hear a little Queensryche type tone in there...sounds incredible...awesome video as usual

[@nicholastotoro7721]

Wow.... first note I heard, I thought "That's the '80's chorus sound right there!!!"

[@MrJp5150]

NICE SOUNDING CHORUS !!!

[@franciscojaldin9457]

It sound so good on "Preset" mode that you could just have the TERC with an on/off switch.

[@luisgoregonzalez7394]

Epic Intro! Amazing!

[@spetersonmusic]

Freaking awesome Pete. Nice!!

[@PeteThorn]

+Scott Peterson thanks Scott!

[@MOBontv]

great job brother. great playing as always

[@MOBontv]

Man, that VH episode was killer! Really interesting with the mixed bag on the speakers. And the blackbacks, that really dialed it in too. I'm Matt O'Ree, toured with Bon Jovi for a bit along side Phil X. I do videos on Trainwreck amps on my channel. Your videos always inspire me to work harder to get them to your level. Love your playing my friend. Hope to connect with you soon! Best, Matt

[@bradred9179]

Just picked up the 2nd to last one Sweetwater had. About caused a divorce, but it is as amazing as Pete demonstrated!

[@Thesessionfiles]

Awesome!

[@ktulu193]

God, I'm a sucker for Chorus. Great demo! Only thing to note is Andy Summers indeed didn't use a Tri-Chorus, he was more a flanger guy (Electric Mistress)

[@ronylemos4797]

ok ... the rack and the brand are respectful ... but you make all the equipment sound perfect, watching your videos, I think i need to learn to use more of what I have, instead of buying new things. Thanks guy, you're awesome.

[@Yupppi]

This sounds so good. A guy made Rocktron Intellifex preset for this sound and gotta say it's pretty good for a makeshift "can't afford or find one of these" tone. Also found Roland SDE-2000, the more primitive version of that legendary SDE-3000, and gotta say that one has some really weird modulation available. Far from this, but very moody.

[@nickm.9474]

WOW!! Can't really get that with your standard stomp box. Sounds great.

[@MisterGuitarItalia]

Looks a bit like a Rockman graphics-wise. Bring back that glorious 80s chorus!!

[@javiceres]

One magnificient unit that does this is Elkorus, with 2 LFOs, I believe, using offset phases to modulate the delay lines. 100% analog.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Hey Pete - I know you are a busy guy, but ( the search for perfect tone - never ends ). Have you checked out The Shiva Little Wave Tri Chorus Pedal? It Sounds Phenomenal. You are one of the musicians - whose channel I follow and your input & opinion . . . I would be very interested in. Cheers from NYC.

[@NoyzyBoyZ3]

Hello Pete! I know about all the things that are said about a Chorus,all the jokes,but You can't not like that tone,sorry but I still like it,and I like playing with it on. Peace.

[@sd_design]

awesome review man! 🐻

[@delachance7861]

Sublime son 🤞🤞🤞

[@billphillipstube]

Great demo. Would have loved to have heard it both with strong compression and then with a little grind, but what you gave was plenty good.

[@carlosgranada1147]

@ Pete Thorn : Hola Pete, estoy en España, ¿Cómo podría comprar Fulltone Trichorus? Aquí en España no venden el producto, ni en Thoman tampoco. ¿Tu podrías conseguirme un Fulltone Trichorus? Gracias. Un saludo.

[@bobjansen3556]

nice goin' !! now lets see if I can get this toneprinted on my TC X4.... muchos complimentos for the playing as usual!

[@SSvebor]

Now, that's a chorus.

[@mikefoo6842]

I had two of the originals !!!

[@MrEmohdee]

Reminds me of the Robert Plant albums of the 80's.............ROCK ON

[@PeteThorn]

I love me some Robbie Blunt tones (and parts)! Great

[@lancethompson218]

I've owned 2 of this and a dytronics and the dyno. No comparison

[@michaela.c.2097]

Totally sounds like Prevue Guide

[@jasonmusic9938]

what kind of expression pedal would work with this thing?

[@iancosgrove]

Don't know why Panasonic and Reticon won't recommission those chips?

[@cjlectronics]

Is it possible to tweak the manual controls for a Flanger sound? The rich modulation of the unit is awesome!

[@PeteThorn]

+cjlectronics yes id say so

[@Cerusicus26]

I have bought the boss dimension c

[@taotoo2]

Why is it already stereo before the chorus gets turned on?

[@NikolausBrocke]

Great Video, as allways. But you have to listen to christian larsens tone. He is a master of the 80s tones. These huge sounds are part of his "personality". Personally I am not so convinced about this clean sound demo. The "originals" who stand fot these special clean sounds are Mike Landau, Dan Huff, Michael Thompson. Did I forgot someone? A milestone is also Allan Holdsworth chorus sound with 8 modulation delays. A faithful recreation of the legendary dytronics cs5 is not only the terc but also the shiva wave.

[@PeteThorn]

?

[@ryanblossey1305]

I think he means that you didn't reproduce the whole chain of FX going with that--SPX90 detune, delays, reverb, etc.... Personally, I'm glad to finally see a demo that *didn't* have all that stuff added to it! This is the first demo I've seen of the TERC with nothing else, so it's nice to finally hear what the thing really sounds like :) In case nobody else brought it up here, Andy Summers *did* use the TSC back in the day! I'm not sure if he got to use it with the Police, but he was definitely using it by the late 80s with his monster Bradshaw rack. There's a video on YT where he gives a rundown of the whole thing. Thanks for the demo!

[@PeterJimenezSEO]

The "Songbird" effect !!!

[@javiceres]

Speaking of 80s racks, do you like/use any of the older Lexicon units? Thanks for your work Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

I had an MPX G2, that I used on tour for awhile... Never a PCM 70 or anything like that though

[@javiceres]

+Pete Thorn Thanks for he fast response! Actually I've been hunting one of those MPX G2, I like complex routings and ... the kind of stuff that passes under the radar. Cheers, keep it up!

[@bloodworthproductions4348]

was the intro song just a demo jam or is there a recording?? love it!! great sound

[@josuey.80sfloresb.59]

como lograr el sonido.del guitarrista de chicago dawayne bailey en el tema you come to my senses

[@NickKBMusic]

Hey Pete! Love the videos and got a great Eric Johnson vibe from some sounds. You said you were using an Xotic compressor. Was it it the SP one, or something I'm not aware of? Thanks! Keep on making the awesome videos!

[@jupjuck]

oh my fucking god i can't even

[@a.michaelpadilla844]

what were those cool chord progressions you used?

[@TheMightyYiffer]

This sound amazing, but it pains me how expensive it is. I must get it though!

[@stavsantis]

Its cheaper now !! only $850 reduced price !

[@theentourage1234]

BTW, can anyone say what the dif between the TERC and a TC 1210 is?

[@petedonaghyguitar]

Stupid question. Will this thing work with one amp or does it have to be stereo?

[@allenmay1102]

Gorgeous tone, beautiful playing as usual. Hey Pete, you mentioned a Thornbucker Plus in one of your last videos. Is that pickup available?

[@PeteThorn]

+Allen May this month yes!

[@rb032682]

I'm pretty sure Andy Summers used a JC120 for his chorus.

[@armandodiaz8765]

Can you do another demo with higher gain tones? Thanks!

[@PeteThorn]

+Armando Diaz This is kind of a clean machine from what I understand (advice courtesy the legendary Tim Pierce)

[@KristianLarsenGuitar]

+Armando Diaz The tri works really well on distorted guitars too. Check out Michael Landau's solo on "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" by Michael Bolton if you want to hear what that sounds like. Also, Dann Huff has a solo in the song "Place In This World" by Michael w Smith which features the tri as well. I could literally keep on listing songs for hours, haha!

[@armandodiaz8765]

Thanks Pete! I've heard a few hi gain soloing demos but I'd like to see how it sounds with low, mid and hi gain chord playing.

[@armandodiaz8765]

Thanks Kristian, How about gained rhythm chording/playing?

[@KristianLarsenGuitar]

Armando Diaz Check out "Angel Don't Cry" by Toto. Lukather uses the Dytronincs on all the rhythm tracks there. Also check out Dog Cheese on youtube. Michael Landau is using the tri on all the rhythm stuff as well.

[@x7stringinJSCx]

Hey Pete.. this might be a dumb question.. but Can that be used with 1 amp like a half stack? or does it have to be used with 2 for a stereo set up?

[@StrangeletCR]

I think you might have had the left and right reversed somewhere in the chain...

[@luckylicks3497]

Awesome!! Hey Pete, what strings do you use?

[@PeteThorn]

+LuckyLicks Ernie Ball RPS 10's

[@the5chord]

Are those sleeves on that hoodie made of genuine leather?

[@PeteThorn]

Yes! Hoodie demo!
