MY NEW 2024 PEDALBOARD! Racksystems Pete Thorn Pedalboard Build

[@davidramos4317]

I’m do appreciate how his rig is realistic in that it contains easily acquired gear. Sure it’s on the expensive side but he’s a professional.

[@JorisGriffioen]

It's also a testament to how much *awesome* stuff there is out there with not-insane prices these days.

[@MrBobwood22]

Not being a dick, more curious than anything but what would the total cost of this board, including the board be? I also understand that he is a professional and these are tools he needs to do his job, I am more interested in the costs of some of these magnificent pedals. Btw I would crumble under the skills needed to even set up something like that. Cheers!

[@bhcarpenter]

@@MrBobwood22I’d ballpark it at around $4k

[@rickaitkins6539]

Honestly, I have one similar. So, add in all the Mogami wiring cabling & plugs, side wiring & plugs and the bottom gear and: you're at $5,000 to $6,000 depending on the installation Tech's costs. I have a lot of respect & admiration for Pete's kindness, above average mind, very honorable integrity character and very very awesome work ethic.

[@RicardoRivera-vh3ol]

Thank you very much for sharing your insights on all-things guitar.

[@tractordirt5167]

Sounds great. Bonus posts for the Jeff Beck haircut!

[@turboface]

I was gonna say Nigel Tufnel but Jeff Beck's kinda cool too.

[@zbqb84a]

Pete!! I was just fortunate enough to get your Signature Standard HSS for my 50th.... sooooo so happy.

[@PeteThorn]

That's so awesome!!!! Enjoy and happy 50th!!!

[@rmp5s]

The red one with black pick guard!?

[@chrisrussoroos6091]

pete Is a a treasure for the guitar community - thanks for making this accessible and fun for all pete!!

[@iggyfritz7150]

I can't believe you were not chosen for a Van Halen tribute, no one even comes close to how accurate you are. Not to mention what an an amazing guitarist you are with you're own identity. I love you're amazing talents. GOD BLESS

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

I would have went if he were the guitar player.

[@jasoncrabbe36]

Was headed in to get some play time before work and saw that Pete had a new video. Missed out on my play time but was a good choice to watch on my part. Great video. Pete is so creative! Here he shows his creativity not just in writing, playing and producing but in designing a new board. What an artist! And I love how well he teaches. Thank you, Professor Thorn! You and Rick Beato never disappoint! That would be a great interview: Rick interviews Pete Thorn! I’ll be praying for that one.

[@mikecorey8370]

Putting a new board together is always fun. Switching in and out, trying different combinations. I've got 3 boards and am always trying different setups to see what works best with other pedals and just going for different sounds and tones. And different pedals for different guitars. And that Keeley compressor is great. That's on my main board along with a Wampler Ego. The Keeley is strictly for my Tele and Strat.

[@travislee9662]

I’ve been thinking about going that route. Instead of trying to have a huge pedalboard that attempts to do everything all in one place and winds up compromising one thing for another, I’m thinking of going with smaller purposeful boards. A smaller dedicated board for every genre of music I like tailored to those sounds and paired with those specific guitars in mind.

[@WDeeGee1]

Man, you are just a fountain of killer tunes!

[@andersonpereira7052]

The Best youtube guitar tone !!!

[@frieskeithable]

Pete. Just think you are amazing. Not only yoir playing but descriptions. I am struggling with my sde 3000 EVH. Plugging in to my tscam and the load boxes confuse me. Is there a way around it and the buttons on the unit are confusing to me. 55 years of playing with a million pedals amd I feel like a total ludite. You’re so fluid on it and Bosses manuals are not very helpful. Keep doing what you’re doing. Nobody is better than you. I really mean that. Thanks for any assist.

[@tomdeschamps5364]

I really need these songs from your videos on spotify. They're sooooo good. I often watch your videos over and over to listen to the songs. Really love your work. You're one of the good ones on this platform

[@gsmeeuwsen]

Pete, you always have such cool tunes you come up with! Definitely rock, but your stuff sounds so fresh and your lead playing is always tasty as hell!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@jackprice7828]

Second time watching. This time I noted the Tonex1. I just added one to my HX Stomp board. It took some time but I found two really good tone captures that sound better than my HX amp models and has worked out really well going thru the HX loop. It leaves me more DSP for the HX effects.

[@MarkG_Beats]

whenever I watch your videos I immediately rethink my whole setup and proceed to try and get close the the amazing setups you always present. thanks for being a constant inspiration. Love the Illumine BTW. Have an immerse 2 but want to get the midi functionality.

[@fenjohrer]

How do you like the Immerse 2?

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Thank you Rack Systems and Pete Thorn!

[@castleanthrax1833]

Just bought a Dig recently. Best DD I've ever owned.

[@ajcajc5429]

just got rid of mine it sucks my distortion tone, its fine on clean but just not for dirt.

[@mranalog241]

The Dig is perfect for dirt tones since it can stay so clean and has a ton of headroom. Maybe you just prefer analog or tape style color on the delay. Nothing wrong with that.

[@TechMetalRules]

DIG is a great choice! I love those lower-bit digital delay sounds of classic rack units.

[@PeteThorn]

Agreed!

[@rickaitkins6539]

​@@PeteThorn Hi Pete, I was wondering, since I don't see any EQ unit, do you use any EQ? If not, what did you find, to choose to not use any?

[@ChadLaniewski]

Temple boards are great. I got mine years ago before they got more well known.

[@krudler406]

i knew there would be a sweet jam at the beginning and was not disappointed 🔥🔥🔥🍻

[@Steven-u5w]

Wow! Thanks for showing your pedal board and gosh it's very versatile how you can root root to signalling all different ways. Send, sends and returns and have you played around with stacked compressors something I haven't played around with. I've I've used dbx rack mount rack compressors I can certainly see why you need two panel boards while one's in transit. You've still got your other one to bliss. Fun with to your heart's content enjoy! Have fun. That's what he's all about. I need to get myself plugged into my RC300 boss looper. Cheers take care. Can't wait to see more videos

[@vox9841]

Loved you playing on the intro🎉

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I’m an oldie. We had pedals when we were young. When we could afford the big racks, we got those. Now it’s back to pedals. The new pedals are amazing though. I suppose the all one modelers are the rack multi effects of today.

[@kram21]

I don’t understand the Ins and Outs Of these pedals but it”s impressive, Great playing and very gear fluency. TA - Totally Awesome!!

[@RobertFairweatherLuvMachine]

Another rippin' intro from the great PT.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

I gotta say Pete, I pride myself on creating unique sounds on the guitar. You do this in spades everytime! Love the new board and thanks for the great rundown.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!!!

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

@@PeteThorn No worries brother. I love creating vids on YT to help others too. Channel is starting to really take off. Your buddy Tim Pierce gave me some great help in the beginning. I love this stuff. Have a great day Pete.

[@andywoodmusic]

sounds great PT!

[@georgebaader9817]

What a great intro tune for the video Pete!! Thanks for giving us this tour of your new board and keep up the great work!!

[@daveallen9921]

You really nailed it at 22:09 .

[@wonkthisway]

Great board! Love the Temple Audio stuff. So easy to use and super pro with the modules etc. Sounding killer as always!

[@JakeWilliams-guitar]

🤟🏻Rolling the tone knob all the way down is underrated!

[@curtischurch1905]

I rebuilt my system on the same Temple board. I really like the module options for that piece!

[@TheBoondoggler]

After playing since 1982 and at one point or another owning virtually every piece of gear under the sun since, I recently just said "eff it" and got myself a Helix. Couldn't be happier.

[@nazv9]

animals of all shapes and sizes hahahhaha love this guy

[@gc1189]

Happy you put back the Crazy Tube Circuits' Starlight. Hard to beat. By the way, I personally think your 2014 pedalboard is still the best sounding ever.

[@bobbydreg5597]

Well thought out board and love the flexibility. Thank you for sharing! I’m in the process of brainstorming up a board myself and this was good to see.

[@Thorgrim247]

Killer Pete. Great pedal board. Everything you need.

[@mykneeshurt8393]

I really enjoyed this video.It's always cool to see what people are using on their board and why.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!!

[@ContemporaryFingerstyleGuitar]

The Suhr Pete Thorn Custom HSS is beautiful. Something to save up for!

[@spacegoat77]

Love my temple audio!!!! Hooray Canadian maker!!

[@moosemuseum1853]

That RJM Mixer look awesome.

[@denniscoverband4369]

Hey Pete greetings from the homeland 🇨🇦 This was an awesome video brother. It was very educational in terms of signal path and output options. Killer playing too my man !❤

[@ryleuty]

Such a great player! Always great to hear and see you Pete

[@albertoalvarenga6037]

Can't wait to build out my 80's/90's rig. I'm jonesing hard for those tones, and playing styles.

[@gtmuse329A]

That is what I love…a pretty portable and super flexible board! Sweeet. 🎸

[@AndyVerok]

Awesome board and tones! There might just be enough room left to put on the FreqOut so you have that aspect covered as well.

[@MatoMisik]

Thanks Pete for the tip to RJM Micro Line Mixer 🙏🏻😁

[@thatampguy]

Great array of tones and juicy playing

[@chrissguitarshow206]

Bro, killer playing and unbelievable tone your lead lines were out of this world i learned a lot.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!!!!

[@Russell_Optics]

Like many others I have two boards and way more pedals than I need, but I am constantly changing things around and trying new stuff. The one thing I have never tried is a switcher. I just don't know that I have the patience or desire to learn how to set one up and design patches. It does get expensive, but playing with different sounds is fun and that is why we do it.

[@brentpaschkemusic]

Pete, what a great board! Very well thought out and professional. So many amazing tips in this video! Thank you sharing! ❤🤘

[@danielmurilloguitar6974]

Pete! Always a joy to watch your vids!

[@briancassidy7510]

Looks like paddleboard mania. Lol really enjoy the video. I really like hearing you play.

[@luisalextorres]

SICK TONES! Love the board too!

[@mattastic247]

Bro. The reverb tail at the very end of the video. Brilliant.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@joeysong2560]

Sounds great, and the routing is SO clean!

[@michaelgallegos8811]

Nice board Pete thanks for the share 👍 😀 😊

[@SS-gx7tg]

PETE! That whole intro is amazing (as all your intro songs are) but 1:20 - 1:50 = got'dam! My gf was in the kitchen making a daiquiri, she's a Swifie with little interest in rock/metal and even she perked up and asked what band I was listening to (I got her hooked on Testament after I let her hear the solo on return to serenity and she loved it, so this is a good sign!) Great rig btw

[@coastalgeorgia6558]

more! would love to see you go thru your main board like this.

[@PeteThorn]

More to come! I will.

[@Zwakkie13]

I never clicked on a video sooner in my life! 😍

[@cooper5882]

The board is just fantastic ! When it comes to the sound coming from the pedal board its all your talent On another note .Just my opinion , for me ,I really like the new Unobtanium Raw Pedal a lot more than the original . Thanks Pete enjoy the new board !

[@mattcalendinemusic5661]

man, you're a killer guitar player! Very inspiring stuff

[@PeteThorn]

Thank u!

[@waynehicks1969]

So many ways to wire things up. I enjoyed hearing about your thought process for wiring your board.

[@craig.martin]

Can't argue with that tone. Super interesting! I swapped out my Dig v2 for a Meris LVX - I have a simple route - Shure Wireless into Kemper Player into Meris LVX into BigSky MX into RC-5 for backing tracks then Pro D2 Di to FOH. Using Midi Captain to control Kemper. Curious to try that little mixer. You rock, Sir!

[@trekbsg]

Sweet board, very clean. Btw, digging the Nigel from Spinal Tap haircut (crank it to eleven) 😉.

[@westernperf]

Thanks for sharing Pete. Always appreciate 👍

[@ccaputa]

I have that same board, same size. I like that chorus pedal you have on your board.

[@88ueshiba88]

DIG is my favourite delay so far. Such an amazing sound! i like the V1 more tho

[@mariodriessen9740]

Very, very interesting. I don’t use MIDI so that’s always the part where I get a little confused. But I do understand the ease of it. And the versatility of course. I had a little shock when I didn’t see the Drybell Unit67. I remember how impressed you were when you demonstrated that pedal. And it blew me away. I needed to have it and I’m extremely happy since it’s on my board. But then you showed us the big board and THERE IT WAS!!! 😅 I wasn’t really shocked of course. The Crazy Tube Circuits Booster is a great pedal. I only wanted to know why you replaced it. And then I saw you didn’t replace it. It’s just another board. I can go and sleep peacefully now. 😬

[@PeteThorn]

That's it exactly! I just don't have two so I picked something else for this one. That is also really cool.

[@RolanTHUNDER]

Great! That's a very versatile board for rock players

[@xacttone]

This is not too complicated. Great setup, Pete!

[@eanroad]

Love your board Pete and thanks for sharing!

[@teresagrabowska7921]

Very tight crisp sound...very stunning cleans.❤🤘🏻

[@33catch33]

Pete you are so fucking good! I always click to see the gear but your playing makes me forget the equipment and tone and makes me go practice my chops. Thank you and cool boards bro.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks so much!

[@peterschaefer1665]

I have that compressor as well Pete. It's got some magic for sure!

[@PeteThorn]

Yeah, Keeley does compression great that's for sure

[@MKRISING75]

I’m nerd for this type of content love pedalboards and all things gear and signal chains and how to cable everything up is my favorite! Congrats on your new pedalboard it’s phenomenal thanks for sharing Pete🤟🏻

[@PeteThorn]

Awesome, thank you!

[@mhmoretti]

Pete isn't just a crazy great guitar player, he has that thing that Hendrix had, the ability to get the best of equipment and pedals. Hes a natural.

[@PeteThorn]

Hey thanks!

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

The Voodoo labs PP3+ is amazing!! All 12 outs are 500mA so yeah it kicks ass. I have 3 of them in my total rig

[@WillyKellyMusic]

Nice demo! I really appreciate the enthusiasm and the detailed insights… 😎

[@cbr8206]

Darn...success is sweet. Nice work Pete.

[@tomasfjeld99]

Killer Board Pete!!! Next time Make Dan from TPS make it, i love The building vids 😁

Thanks!

[@iwannarockon2010]

Heavenly rock tones 🤘

Thanks!

Loved when I saw you use Musicom labs switchers. I have the MK VI. IMHO best bang for your buck there is on the market. 12 loops + all the bells and whistles in that foot print for $700 Lets Rawk \m/

Him justifying a second board sounds like me trying to convince my wife I need another pedal

[@davidstokes4630]

Begging and promising??? Been there. But, I'm begging for $20 used pedals...

[@2Plus2isChicken2013]

Temple Boards are definitely very nice (I have the giant Trio 43 one), and I agree that the Zelzah is a highly underrated pedal. Your demo of it made me buy one and I can see why it made it on your board.

[@stratocaster2002]

I would not buy the Temple again ever. When you have to move a pedal it's a hell. Also you can't put pedals in certain positions if there's a power supply below. It's more difficult than Tetris last level

[@2Plus2isChicken2013]

@@stratocaster2002 I used dual lock and had no issues. I have no comment on Temple’s mounting plate system.

You trust the balance of that board on the edge of your table more than I've ever trusted anybody or anything.

As always absolutely perfect playing and sound Pete , thanks for sharing an amazing pedalboard, unfortunately I can't afford 5he patch leads let alone anything else on it 😅

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@zzzddd7]

I am also old school. I started out in the early 70's with pedals. In the mid 80's, I was no longer impressed with individual pedal multi boards, and troubleshooting problems, I went to racks , Tom Scholz, etc. That was the 'hot thing'. Since the Gt10, then Gt1000, and HeadRush and Helix I own, I can t go back. Just add my expression pedals, I'm good.
