Pete Thorn's Top UAD-2 Guitar Tones, Tone #8 Fender 55 Tweed Deluxe

[@JohannesLabusch]

For everybody who has a problem with the 55 going into breakup too soon, experiment with the LINE/NORMAL switch on the top left of the plugin window. On LINE, the amp has more clean headroom, which made a big difference to me. Also, make sure to put the amp in the Unison slot.

[@donteschner8604]

Good to see you and hear you Pete. Thanks for the Demos. I just got my first Apollo so here I go.

[@morbid66666]

Pete thorn you are an inspriation. Absolutely love your demos man!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Anthony

[@henrikpetersson3463]

I usually don't like this amp but you make it sound as amazing as anything you play through. Really well done!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Dang Pete you are THE MAN!!

[@brunocavara3157]

this channel is my everyday inspiration.

[@PeteThorn]

thank you Bruno!

[@donovanduguay3857]

There's no wonder so many musicians want you to play for them. Versatile and creative with precision to the max!

[@PeteThorn]

thanks Donovan!

[@ThrashRoC]

OMG..Hallelujah , i GOT it !! I think i´ve got the Breakthru and i get the greatest sounds out of the UAD now .. Thank you

[@henrikpetersson3463]

Your demo has made me go revisit this plugin, and I've grown to like the sound of the amp much more now. Such an excellent plugin. It's right up there with Kemper in my opinion.

[@garygamble1963]

Once again Mr Thorn has given us a stunning lesson in tone. Nice haircut by the way. Please keep the videos coming. They're awesome.

[@PeteThorn]

thanks Gary!

[@mikeatl4953]

Thanks Pete. I appreciate seeing these kinds of reviews and demos . More and more I'm only playing through my Mac. I can get great tone and change things up quickly without spending so much time moving around cables, amps, cabs, effects boxes, etc..

[@glassslide]

Gorgeous tones, like '70's era Stones, love it!!

[@JeffKeel]

Pete I learn so much about tone from you... thanks for giving so much of yourself to us.

[@PeteThorn]

thanks Jeff!

[@jonnydubai]

That was the happiest into I've heard all day!

[@brianmckenzie1318]

Wow! So glad I found your channel. Learning all kinds things! Thank you for taking the time to do these videos!

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you Brian

[@wagnernoise]

The best tones I've heard from this plugin until now, hands down! Thanks for this great video Pete ;) Cheers

[@shook9042]

Dude. Such great tunes. Sounds amazing.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@p.m-audio]

do you use at the input before recording preamps and plugins from uad ? do you use the the steven slate drums ? and the last pete , can you do a video how do you record and mix your amazing sounding videos ? Thanks for your channel

[@PeteThorn]

thanks! You can use UA guitar amp plugins in Unison (UA Console) or in your DAW. And yes I often use SSD4 drums but not in this vid

[@dwftube]

Great tunes as always from Pete and one of the most convincing amp sims I've heard.

[@THUNDERWORX]

Great playing.... I could listen to you play all day long!!!!

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you!

[@MisterGuitarItalia]

I always learn a little something from your videos. Thank You.

[@PeteThorn]

thanks!

[@BBolander26]

Pete that bend at the 50 sec. mark is something else.

[@dapperdanman1956]

Thanks Pete, always awesome offerings.

[@PeteThorn]

Hi Keith, thank you!

[@jerrymckenzie6205]

Pete Thorn killin it again with sweet tones!!

[@Saycheeseanddie84]

I appreciate this very much man, thank you for always inspiring me with your rad tones.

[@Auen73]

What more to say.....sounds great & the song is cool. You got your point across in spades Pete.

[@Rockamps78]

Cool playing !! Thanks for showing us how to get these tones ! It was nice to meet you for a brief bit at NAMM at the Suhr booth. From this video, looks like we have the same taste in Lacie SSDs :)

[@andrewt248]

Awesome tones! I've been really digging the Bassman model in the Helix lately, especially with the Ownhammer Celestion Blackback low gain mix IR. Cheers Pete!

[@danielroberts9579]

Amazing as always! Can't wait for the next album. ;)

[@TavaresProject]

wow. that sound amazing!!!!! you definitely got the stones down.... incredible sound

[@evanfoster9078]

This rules - killer video, thank you Pete!

[@Jkaterchannel]

You are such a great player. Very inspiring. Thank you.

[@PeteThorn]

thank you!

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

The "High" input setting on the 55 Deluxe is pretty good. I still use a mic and amp and some of the best sounds have been "Fuzz " pedals plugged direct into the mixer(That's what I was told). The point being wr should all be experimenting with all these great gizmos if we can .

[@paddy1092]

This is brilliant! Thank you Pete!

[@stroopwafel6141]

I love a telecaster on an old tweedamp. Electrifying tones, just as your new haircut. ;-)

[@willischirwa3992]

Great guitar tones great riffs, thx a ton

[@chrisheyes66]

You nailed it Pete, great sound

[@mauricecardinal6352]

Great playing. Thanks for video. Awesome.

[@peeweehehaw]

Your videos make my day

[@PeteThorn]

[@bigleemac]

Such a master of tone!

[@scalfaroc]

Pete 'The Tone Master' Thorn. Awesome!

[@BillMellow]

Holy smokes, those sound great! The Precision Reflection Engine is super sweet.

[@PeteThorn]

ya it's one of those sleeper plug ins, I tried it one day and was knocked out!

[@travelbyrocket]

Always innovative Pete .. And with new hair too !

[@TheRycooder]

GREAT GREAT VIDEO. EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE!! Subscribed.

[@willischirwa3992]

What am amazing tone. Great video series on the uad guitar tones. I would love to see a video on that country lick and here is my kind request, bro

[@peterrice7830]

You really know how to sell a piece of gear,Pete.Sounds great. What is your favourite 60's era Fender amp plugin?

[@PeteThorn]

Hmm I dunno, can't specifically think of a plugin, maybe Softube vintage amp room's Fender-ish model

[@leewarren]

Hey Pete, I'm loving your videos ... very insightful and helpful, thank you. Nerd question: is your interface an Apollo Twin solo or duo?

[@scmetemete1430]

Hi Pete..May i know which drum vst did u use on this record?

[@ThrashRoC]

Since i have a new PC System everything is better now .. I really cursed the Apollo Twin sometimes ... because I just didn't check what's really going on with my system in general .. I've been sitting here with my Strat for half an hour and enjoying the hottest sound .. My cat is purring too, which is a good sign .. The UAD software is DAMM Great

[@snapascrew]

Killin it man.

[@Roddo731]

Great demo Pete I'm really intrigued by the Solo, think the plugins are any match for eleven Rack?? So when you hitting the road with the Stones dude!! Cheers, Rod

[@ChrisBucheit]

Pete, these vids are very very helpful for getting the most out of the UAD Apollo units. Awesome. Thank you!

[@revol40]

That's some nice tone. Amazing it's coming from that plugin, but I think most of it comes from Pete.

[@InUterusLimbo]

totally does lol

[@Jointlock]

Cool vid as always Pete, but more importantly..........the new haircut looks awesome!!!

[@GenilsonOficial]

For me this is the best amplifier emulation. They took 2 years to make, we have the amplitube among others with thousands of emulations...OBVIOUSLY it won't be perfect.

[@Kenman540]

James did a great job with this emulator.

[@bmwm3cs]

Great little ditty, I love your demo's. Put out a CD of your DEMOs. LOL Also, I have bought an Apollo Twin and many plugins because of your DEMOS.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Awesomeness.

[@minerman1970]

Great tones & playing Pete!!! I've been following your channel to see if I can improve my recorded tones by using some of your methods... Something I'd personally love to see you do is a video with some of the less-costly plug-ins, like Amplitube 4, S-Gear, etc...I'm sure the UAD plug-ins are great, but they're expensive for a lot of guys like me... Again, I'd love to hear you demo AT4 & give your thoughts about that particular plug-in....

[@IanVase]

sounds great.

[@JamesGouldGuitar]

You're the man Pete! Cheers!! :)

[@mydogspet]

Sweet!

[@hochha]

Pete, all that sweet rhythm and melody that flows out of your fingers is it just clean living or have you got a direct tap to something?

[@PohJindawech]

Amazing tone and awesome new haircut too ! ^^

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

Pete when will you review the Thornbucker Plus? I'm the guy on "The Gear Page" annoying you and John about which size should I put in my Strat (thanks for the reply) and where to buy.

[@tweedguitar9103]

Pete, pardon my ignorance, but are you using the Apollo twin "Duo thunderbolt with your mac and logic ?. I am a big fan of tweed amps, but realistically, for recording a track , these plug in in a mix do the job nicely. Thank you for bringing this technology to our attention.

[@richadams433]

Nice demo. You running that chain solely on the Apollo twin and are you recording the inserts or using the plugs in logic? Running a 2013 mbp and mange to use all the dsp trying to replicate the tones...

[@PeteThorn]

Yessir!

[@alexaarnold6789]

You rock Pete Great shit!!!!!

[@jasonlee8497]

Cranking small tweed amp is how many guitarist got great tone and sustain on their solos back in the 60s & 70s.

[@2dollarcrew]

Awesome. How does the pan work if this is a mono signal?

[@R0BL68]

Just curious, did you tweak and customize any of the plugins or did you demo them straight for the rip ? 🎸

[@northof50now]

Wow Pete. That sounds so much better than my playing through GarageBand's "tweed" amp plug-in... :-)

[@fattohead]

Hi Pete, your videos great and your channel is really informative, thanks a lot! I also have an Apollo8duo interface, I like my ENGL and Tweed plug-ins and want to go for the rest of UAD guitar stuff. But I can't decide between UAD plug-in stuff and another software based hardware variation like HELIX, or a SUHR reactive loadbox + classic20 mini+6505 mini,couse 3 of them costs the same money just for 1 Helix unit, or close to rest of the UAD plug-ins I wanna buy! Which way would you go for ?? My aim is just to get the best result at line level recordings.Btw, I'm not playing live, so live playing advantages of the platforms is no important for me.. Thanks!

[@juanwaissman1]

nice tone

[@johnmarquez333]

Woah, that haircut! For a moment I thought an impostor had taken over your channel. But then... same great tones, same great playing. Ah, it's still Pete Thorn! ;-)

[@jelcheson]

So good

[@jsauce666]

You starting to look like a real punk Pete. Nice!

[@robertfalconer5054]

What DAW where you playing into Pete? Sounds gr8 as usual.

[@PeteThorn]

Logic!

[@robertfalconer5054]

Thanks Pete..

[@MrYodaone902]

What do you use as a recording hard drive?

[@ThrashRoC]

First of all , the Sounds Pete does create with the 55 twin are GREAT ! But i´ve struggled the last two years to make this Amp sound like in this Video . That had several Reasons ..1. it was not Possible to put more than 2 Plug-ins into one Channel , and NOW when i make my PC new with Windows 10 and a new Installation of UAD Software ..SUDDENLY i can drop 4 Pllug-ins (or more ..i don´t tried) into a Channel ..Great BUT i have STILL the Problem with the 7ender 55 Twin ..it Sounds (stand Alone) ABSOLUT Horrific ..if THIS is a 55 Twin Sound what comes out of my Monitors (Genelec) than Every Cheap Harley Benton Amp is better ..:-D And i have Good Guitars ..a Fender Custom Team build Postmodern Strat (Absolute Great Axe) , another Fender with HSS and Kloppman PU´s (The BEST !) Gibso SG Standard , and a Flying V (Silverburst with Lace Sensor PU´s ) Wit some other Amp Plug-ins i have some really nice Sounds (Marshall Silver Jubilee) But Also with the Friedman BE-100 it´s not Possible to get a really sophiscatingt sound out of my Monitors .. It would be Nice to find a good Tutorial how to set everything right and how to get this Plug-ins REALLY Sounding good .. I am such a noob with this things , but it would be great to use it the right way ..like in the Vid of Pete !

[@thedouveurs]

just copy the settings of Pete no ? everything is in the video ...

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

How many milliseconds of latency do you have on your Interface. I have mine set at 3ms, and it still trips up my timing, but any lower, and it starts to "crackle".

[@henrikpetersson3463]

With the these plugins on the Apollo you will have near zero latency as the plugins runs on the audio interface. No need to make your computer work hard.

[@L.Scott_Music]

Sounded great on my end but I wonder how much the guitar tone had to do with it. I suspect that guitar has a great sound to start with. Still, the plug-in certainly was a big part or at least didn't screw it up.

[@guitarmedia9171]

It seems as if the natural glow, that you get from the amp being near the guitar is gone?

[@AaronOwenSmith]

yes it does good, but as with all guitar sims, how does it feel to play?

[@KennethChristian]

Great haircut, Pete.
