Pete I seriously think you should release this tune or some variant of it on one of you next albums. This video convinced me years ago to go with this RJM 10 loop switcher! This is hands down the best equipment demo song I’ve heard on KZbin. Thanks for the inspiration and hope to see you live soon!

[@MesaGuitarGuy]

great demo again Pete. I love this song you made for this!!! Hope it shows up on your next album.

[@alessandrosegurini2216]

Your best tone so far, love come back to this vid...the perfect match between music, melody and playing. Love it

[@exterC0ffx]

Still another of my most favorite videos. Imagine just having an album of every song Pete puts together for every video, now that would be just ideal! What I like about this man is he pushes you to new dimensions of your own abilities and getting such a kick out of applications of technique into our very own style, is it any wonder we're all avid subscribers, we well know the reasons, many thanks.

[@robinmark4859]

Pete this is literally so good. Thanks for keeping me inspired.

[@jbs8958]

Amazing! Especially the solo that starts at 1:25 - incredibly melodic! Good job, Pete!

Beautiful demo, Pete you sound like an angel from Heaven the way you play guitar. Congratulations on all of your skills.

[@PeteThorn]

Too kind, thanks!!

[@eduardo_d3]

Thank you so much Pete! This definitely helped me understand the PBC and how it works. By the way, you have an amazing talent at producing awesome licks and tone.

[@PeteThorn]

Eduardo Duran thank u!

[@fatherjacques]

Incredible song!! Wow! Very inspiring playing

[@fatherjacques]

This is a great unit. I use it in my home studio and have set-ups with all the pedal I need AND midi message to control my softwares etc..

[@StueyDoo]

Particularly loved the intro clean tone. Cool vid Pete

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks, in addition to the amp and fx listed it's the neck pickup of the tele- made by Ron Ellis, terrific pickups

[@williamwhalen7764]

Hell yea! awesome Pete!

[@krowland7584]

Thorn demos are so sick

[@brianpatrick6102]

Pretty amazing tones and licks as always. Ive been kinda slacking on finishing my new Boss ES-8 pedalboard setup; this just kickstarted my motivation. Thank you! :)

[@PeteThorn]

+brian patrick Thanks!

[@TavaresProject]

That was excellent. these types of switching systems are more necessary than ever with all pedal guitar players want use . great job Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

I can't imagine not using a loop switching system.

[@TavaresProject]

I know I see some of the pedal boards guys have tap dancing all over the place and usually making mistakes because of that. This is the only way.

[@rohitsubramaniam5156]

Your note selection is phenomenal!

[@tattoofred]

Great! and amazing sounds ;)

[@pingshanluan8049]

Spent last night playing this song note by note. Great music as always! Thank you Pete!

[@brent0624]

What is the name of the awesome song. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks

[@pingshanluan8049]

Ask Mr. Thorn for a name. : )

[@PeteThorn]

Hi thanks so much- I create each track for each video.

[@The_moab_taco]

Holy crap. That solo around 1:50. BLEW MY FREAKING MIND.

[@maxreedy3466]

Hey Pete, excellent playing and demo of the PBC. Mine has been flawless since I received it in February while being subjected to over 200 hours of gigging abuse thus far. I have the loops 1-4 in the preamp of a 5150iii, 5-6 have a gate and boost, 5/6 out to EB Volume pedal and back into PBC 7-10 input. then 7-10 time based stuff. Gated full gain volume swells are no problem. Just wanted to share another way that the PBC can be configured. Love your vids, man. Always top notch! .

[@NoyzyBoyZ3]

Absolutely amazing board! I always enjoy the hell out of your demos also! I admit it,I'm a fan of your abilities,and I'm not embarrassed to say so! LOL!!

[@KKMcK1]

The best example of what I am after I have yet come across. The RJM stuff is BRILLIANT!!! I want the GT22 and FX Gizmo together. ELEGANT!!!

[@zool84]

Amazing taste Mr. Thorn. Cheers.

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you!!

[@stephendouglas6106]

Man, so impressed. Always have been with Pete Thorn. What a Nice Gentleman. I have an eye issue as well, Pete. Left eye injured due to a violent assault with a bottle. Wish I had 10% of your cool guitar stuff.

[@stephendouglas6106]

Really great playing and tasty style, too. "It's All in The Hands" is somewhat true but effects!

[@liorashermusic]

Mr. Thorn - You're A M A Z I N G!!! Thank you for the great vids. It's really inspiring.

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you, kind sir!

[@RaghavMaheshwari]

+Pete Thorn Yes, You are truly amazing, a great human being n soulful musician. Inspiration to me !!

[@matonmaton5502]

Hello Pete the pedalboard that name is !!

[@audiobunny1767]

I know this is an older video but, wow man, great tones! Love it!

[@ghoststormzy]

Hey Pete! New subscriber here. You're an awesome guitarist and your feel and tone is always ridiculously on point, even when using someone else's gear. I can only hope to play as good as you can. Keep on rocking, and keep the good videos coming!

[@hazytone]

Phenomenal playing man. Respect

[@PeteThorn]

+hazytone thanks so much!!

[@geoarthur6593]

thanks Pete, gorgeous tones and textures .. that's how I approach all my settings, I just want the texture to be as good as I can get it .. cheers from Ireland 🎸🔊🎼🍺

[@thecolourtone]

I listen to this video probably a couple times a month. The solo section on the S is so dang good.

[@thomasvantorre1922]

Great tones and pedalboard.Amazing how you play

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@phmassi]

Great as usual, dude.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Philip!

[@BillDutton]

I had to watch this video twice because it ripped my face off the first time! Inspiring as always.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

I think Pete has a favorite guitar :p love that tele man.

[@drebrose1983]

great tunes! shredded

[@Cvweare]

Absolutely killer, your such an inspiration Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Clayton! :)

[@dpbahar]

Great vid, great playing, and super informative! Inspired me to get my own RJM and i'm setting up a board with similar routing. Initial use will be with a single amp but I want to just set my board up once so I can run a power amp for stereo later. Now I need to find out where to get custom insert cables a with 90 degree angle - man it's gonna be tight to fit everything on my board! Hopefully there is minimal or no tweaking needed on the board or when changing from mono to stereo.

[@reacteur84]

Pete you are just amazing

[@PeteThorn]

you are too kind!

[@MarcelGrebMusic]

this man is a badass on guitar! and great and goodlooking/sounding pedalboard too! good job!

[@marcstanford5857]

Marcel Waynetrain he's a professional guitarist who plays for Melissa Etheridge, Chris Cornell etc. he's a PRO!!!

[@xRisingForcex]

14:25 jaw-dropping sound pete! keep slaying!

[@julius5000]

Nice Song Pete!!!

[@shellsjoint]

[@visceralrocks]

[@ferdielopez1]

Thanks Bro Pete I was enlightened by your explanation

[@nogoogleplus]

Damn you Pete, I think I have to buy this now. :)

[@jbert58]

Wonderful song and playing.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks so much!

[@groov3z]

That solo in the intro is so tasty... keep rockin' dude.

[@PeteThorn]

Lior Samson thanks!

[@gianlucamulas8593]

Great ...i like your sound and your playng

[@noorvanm.p632]

wow..nice sound...amazing

[@rhoydotp]

Beautiful melodic song and of course, great tones! I'm stealing that lick at 1:38 :)

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

I would totally buy the intro song if it was available. That was friggin awesome and all the tones were so damn good. The solo on the Suhr was as impressive and at one point looked to have up stroke rakes.

[@MowglyOficial]

You are awesome bro

[@scottmclennan692]

Awe pete that tone is awesome. would LOVE to have those strymon pedals, hehe one a year methinks. i have a blue sky tho so i have some pretty amazing reverb joy. awesome demo sir thankyou.

[@kimblez]

Pete's was was really on point here man

[@harizlientung3476]

beautiful

[@Ullish1989]

That first clean tone...wow

[@irwanmitsubishi8036]

very nice mr thorn...

[@exterC0ffx]

Thanks Pete it's a masterful system which is not too difficult to master! Love the od lift from 2.00 on what more can i say....cheers daryl

[@TheMusicLoop]

So the wife just walked in whilst I was watching this and said "Stop watching that blokes videos, it costs you too much money in gear!" HAHA Looks like I am on the couch again tonight!! Keep the videos coming Pete :)

[@PeteThorn]

Ha! Don't get in trouble!

[@wayfaerer320]

The Dover Drive is the smoothest most beautiful sounding OD. Sounds like heaven...

[@erictomerlin161]

Hey Pete , love your playing , tones and reviews ! when you come out the A/B of the switcher into the two amps for stereo where are you plugging in the cables ? effects return or the guitar input jack ?

[@stephenburks7895]

Nice bruh... keep jamming!!

[@pjmaclean]

Thanks Pete. Love the RJM PBC. Only downside is it's size. But it really does a great job of maintaining the natural tones out of your amp. Personally, I don't mind the footprint - it's the height of the unit. It stands tall so, if it's up front on the pedal board, everything behind it is low making access to them a bit difficult to turn on/off on the fly. But in fairness the unit was developed so that you don't have to do the tap dance. And you can always raise the height of the other pedals. Also, I know you didn't have time on this video, but the editor is great and makes setting up patches very easy. Great review as always!

[@martinmcvitty]

I use pedal risers for the second row - works for me!

[@GillesAndrea]

great inspiration

[@middle_pickup]

Thanks again for your videos, Pete! You always do a great job at convincing me to spend all of my money. lol Do you know if the TRS amp function switches on the Mastermind PBC can be used as Strymon Favorite switches? That would be sick!

[@melexdy]

The reverb makes so much of a difference in the tone. Its just.. ideal!

[@PeteThorn]

My 1st time using Big Sky and I love that box!

[@andersdm777]

Great review - yet again, Pete! What is the second jack on the right side of the board intended for? I assume one is for "Guitar in"... ;-)

[@theankotze3103]

Hi Pete, sincere thanx on all you do for us Thorn-gazers, you truly inspire man...A question, maybe not a far one, but why nor RJM PBC? I am in the process of buying and on the back your RJM PBC demo I'm leaning towards it but now... Musicomlab mk5 which I was unaware of..., is it down to size in the end for you because they oth seem like GREAT units. Much respect and thank you in advance...

[@Packett1364]

Hello! I love you videos, been subscribed for quite a while now and learn a lot from you! I was curious as to what kind of strings you use? Brand and gauge and such. Thank You!

[@salkdjfasldkfjsdlk]

Just a thought about the board. I use a Pedaltrain Pro with two pedal power 2 supplies mounted underneath and an American Loopers patchbox (# 4-JB-ISO) to have a central patch point for my guitar, amp in and effects loop in/out to be able to use my amplifiers preamp. If I plugged my guitar directly into an effect the patchbox could be effects in/out and stereo out instead. Cheers

[@OneDayRemains]

Hei pete, awesome video... Hoe long are your cables to the amp? Thanks and regatds from switzerland

[@ledd2195]

Great video, superb tone and playing! I was wondering how you recorded the guitar. Did you use the isobox you showed in another video? Which microphone and preamp did you use for that? Thanks, big fan here!

[@Shadowsreach1]

very cool indeed! question does this allow for a spillover for delay , and how fast is the switching from change to change? Thanks!!

[@mesaboogie4x12]

Hi Pete, thanks for the great explanation of how this board is routed. I had a question regarding amp channel switching... I have 2 Marshalls. A JVM210H and a 410H. Both have midi in and thru. This board's specs list that it is a full featured midi controller that can send any type of midi message... so does that mean I can plug in a midi cable from this board to my midi in on the amp and effectively bypass having to need to use the channel switching inputs from the board? The reason I ask is because I sing lead vocals and play in a Metallica tribute and for my clean guitar sound, I have to tap dance 4 pedals and flick my pickup to the neck position. I'd like to just hit one button on the floor and flick my pickup selector on the guitar. I've done some research on the Voodoo Ground Control + GCX combo as well as the GigRig and MusicomLab Switcher. I like that this board has insert points between the loops for front and back of amp connections. Any thoughts on this question? I have never used midi at all, so I'm pretty ignorant of it, but I know you can change channels on the JVMs by midi. Thanks for your time!

[@adam614ce]

Hey Pete, I'm using a two amp setup similar the way you do with having stereo effects in the effects loop of my main BE100 amps, and going out of last effects loop stereo pedal into loop return of BE100 and Bogner (power amp). I get a little hum. Do you use ground lift or iso box in the amps loops chain? Looking for a better way. Thanks

[@secondtribe]

I'd just like to make sure about one thing you've done here. When you've got jacks inserted in both outputs of Strymons, H9 and M5 and you connect only one amp (let's say - using left signal path in there units) are the sound identical to situation when right outputs are empty? I think it could be strange when you set the parallel dual delay (two different delay times in stereo) in Timeline and you disconnect f.e. right amp. And what about one of the phases of stereo chorus? Dover Drive sounds amazing btw. :) Regards!
