PETE THORN TOURING GUITAR RIG 2023

[@Alvin_C_York]

I love that you’re a master of both technical knowledge and musicianship.

[@PeteThorn]

I still feel like a student!

[@ChrisVegaGuitarOfficial]

Awesome and very interesting rundown! I just grew found of the unobtanium as well, but I’m not quite sure how to implement it in my rig. Do you have both sides engaged at all time and it not, how do you switch it. It doesn’t do midi , does it? Keep up the good work, mate 🙌🏻

hey pete somethings wrong with your right eyeball man

[@rztricky]

Pete I really dig how you’ve made such clean playing so - not stiff. Lots of cats on their advance drop the blues grease as they reach into longer and more informed phrasing. But they lose fire and we all know it when we see it. Those who carry the swagger and fire wherever their minds go. It’s rare - Huff, Lukather, Morse, Gilbert, Landau, Bumble. There is a class. And we’re proud watching you being in that. Keep playing!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks man! That is high praise

[@iam_tiagocosta]

Hey Pete! I was at the Malvern gig... (I'm the kid who went to get my t-shirt signed and talked to you about EVH and Peter Frampton)... and your tone was just incredible... Great insight into your rig, I was super curious to find out what you were using and now I know! Keep doing what you're doing man, you're the best 👍🏻🎶

[@TheTinMan123]

You put so much effort into your shows Guys and the amount of equipment you carry around, hats off to you, I can say from experience this show you put on is outstanding. Nice to see you back in the UK have a wonderful tour 👍🤟🤟

[@PeteThorn]

Thank u!

[@admonguitar6554]

I am an old musician from the east, but I adore your taste and intelligence in the field of art, especially guitar, instead of understanding a lot. Thank you, my beautiful artist friend 👍💫💫💫🎸❤️🎸✅🎩🎩👍🎼🎼🎼🎼🏡🙏🏻💫

[@evertsulander]

That YYZ solo was Killer!!!

[@peterevans3229]

@pete - gave us a real sense for how stuff sounds - looking forward to the videos of the events - well done sir!”

[@limpindug]

A really like these behind the scenes videos, they give an insight into the man, the myth, the magic even though a end up befuddled, love it. Thanks very much for sharing Pete. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate.

[@howieh7877]

Pete the consummate pro. Loved the whole video and especially the amp setups and the pedalboard. Bonus was the lead to YYZ. Enjoy the tour.

[@maximumguitarage]

Hey Pete great stuff. I see you are back to amps and pedals and left the quad cortex behind this tour. I also dig that you brought out love for your Pete Thorn OG Sig Standard. Rock on 🤘!

[@PeteThorn]

I like it all, everything has its place, the amps, and the modelers!

[@mykneeshurt8393]

This was AWESOME!. Nice presentation and the sound check clips were killer!. So much fun.

[@hotcitysoul7144]

Hi Pete, Flawless and inspired guitar musicianship. Thanks

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@_patrikjay_]

Excellent live rig breakdown Peter. That’s the first video of the Suhr Aura I’ve seen and it’s glorious, that clear coat alone shows the attentional to detail. Have a stellar tour bro

[@TexasJackdaw]

Using that variac on your power is a brilliant idea. Have a great tour Pete. Can’t wait to catch the live shows on KZbin. Be safe and rock your butt off! 🤘

[@theo5580]

Love these rig overviews - thanks, Pete!

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Love watching these, thank you for sharing Pete. Good luck out there 🤘

[@2002ChrisK]

As always Pete you share so much with us. Truely inspiring in every respect so a big thank you to you 😃 By the way you've got some great looking guitars there! Hope all goes well on your tour.

[@Nancyloveguitars]

Marvelous! Thanks to the author for sharing the video.

[@jasonstallworth]

Pete, you’ve got me wanting a Suhr guitar! I played one recently here in Tampa (at Replay Guitar Exchange) and it played nice!

[@Timroxss]

awesome gear tour Pete, Thanks so much! I just love soaking all that stuff in. Enjoy the tour, come to peterborough lol

[@beestew79]

Great video Pete! I love that you are a gearhead,, but it's all for the music. Love your playing. Thanks for sharing.

[@charleslambiase5670]

Dude I love you man I learn so much from you,, I am not a guitarist but a very experimental but especially functional when necessary fretless Bassist... You Just inspire...

[@PeteThorn]

Thank u!

[@sellandinho]

Pete. Your channel is my favourite on KZbin. I always get excited when you post.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks for watching!

[@CalebGrundyson]

I love seeing the rig run downs!! Thanks

[@cooper5882]

Very cool Pete !! Be well stay safe and enjoy !!

[@teaserrocks1768]

I always learn something- thanks, Pete!

[@cleavey100]

Many thanks Pete.

[@kenphillips3282]

Thanks Pete, the Unobtanium is a fantastic pedal and with the extra switch option we have 3 dirt pedals in 1 and it sounds so good. I can take my pedalboard into any clean amp and I know I have great crunch, rhythm and solo sounds at my feet.

[@PeteThorn]

Totally agree!

[@amadeufonseca8410]

Meu amigo, você toca muito bem. Está de parabéns

[@enzzthefink]

I’ll get straight to the point. I’m so jealous of those tones man!!

[@arustydodge2111]

Pete is such an Incredible Talent, and so humble!🙏⭐️👍 Fantastic! ⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️

[@PeteThorn]

Thank u!

[@ellisruff3314]

Hey Pete, any particular reason why you didn’t use the QC this year? Or just decided against it for a change? See you in at the March show in Sunderland!! 🥳

[@calumm8639]

I saw that Tunnock's Caramel Wafer on top of your cab! Great video too. Have you thought about doing a video on how you prepare for tours like this?

[@Eric_W_Bell70]

Thank you for taking the time to share your rig. Great to see real amps onstage.

[@jedarama]

your playing/tone on the snippet of YYZ was incredible!

[@benperry490]

thanks Pete, the consumate musician/sideman/rockstar!

[@scottakam]

Thanks Pete. Always interesting to see your setup.

[@danriley5848]

Great rig and you have some beautiful guitars as well, thanks for the sneak peak. ✌🏻

[@kierenmoore3236]

Great rundown/sound; thanks Pete! What’s to the left of the Echoplex, please? I can’t quite tell! 😊 🙏🏼 Thanks!

[@MrSmygolf]

Love the mix of music, from Quo to Rush :) *Thumbs up*

[@Scooby743]

Thanks for your Time Pete!

[@matriain1853]

Hi Pete - caught your show last night in High Wycombe, I jumped at the chance to see you play live and in person! I brought my children along hoping to ignite some passion for rock! Mission accomplished. We loved it, and the rock world has two new fans. It makes a world of difference to see a production with talented musicians who have a passion for the songs they're covering. That comes through to the audience. What really impressed me Pete is that your playing came across as if you had created the music yourself, rather than just someone playing someone's compositions. You make them your own - the emotion you put into the playing and and your attention to detail (notes, tones - everything) is astounding. Especially on YYZ, that was a guitar nerd highlight for me 🙂 Also - thanks for taking the time to sign my kid's poster and chat with them - that made the night! You are a class act. Also thanks again for all the time you put into your channel and various forums, social media - for the benefit of the guitar community. It is an immense help to us all! Good luck and long may you keep rocking!

[@adamscottv]

Great tones ... nailed it. Would love to see this show live.

[@erik2446]

YYZ sounds great! 😍

[@parkergoessling]

Stage volume structured around the snare drum is a brilliant way to explain what reasonable, sane stage volume should be! I'll definitly be stealing that turn of phrase.

[@kmacmckee2931]

Awesome Pete. I always learn something new tech from you after my jaw bounces off the ground watching your technique and feel. Safe travels in the UK

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

I really have fell in love with your Suhr signature I need to get one soon

[@michaelgallegos8811]

Awesome video Pete thanks..🎸🥁🎛🤘😃

[@petg12340]

Perfect timing, I've just watched this having gone to the gig in London tonight (Fri). Brilliant show!!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@Matthewtaylorn]

I never knew Suhr made a set neck carved top. That is a GORGEOUS guitar! That finish is immaculate.

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

Hey hey... Pete! Wish I could catch that show in the US! Someday, I hope it becomes a reality! 😎🎸🤘🎵🎶

[@slates1969]

Great to have you with us in the UK Pete !!!

Good recovery bending the note up to pitch. Total pro move. Nice board!

[@denmar355]

Thanks for posting.

[@MRxr400]

that blue strat sounds amazing. great rig Pete. have fun

[@rickjason215]

It is not a Strat. It is a Suhr.

[@MRxr400]

@@rickjason215 silly me, yeh, it looks nothing like a well made strat style guitar, and doesn't sound like a strat either. it identifies as a suhr.

[@rickjason215]

@@MRxr400 I am sorry. You are right. I want to know what people are playing and everything is a copy of everything else. That Suhr LP copy looks more like a LP than an LP. I wonder if Gibson tried making guitars with a smaller angle, like the Suhr? I’m sure they did, with all the broken headstocks. Did they sound the same? I always wonder about people with bursts. How do they protect the headstock? I have seen headstock breaks on the slightest drop. It’s strange that Gibson hasn’t figured out a way to protect the headstock and not change the sound.

[@MRxr400]

@@rickjason215 there are some amazing guitars out there that take the original design and address the flaws. Suhr is one of them, PRS are passionate about quality. fender and gibson both need to lift their game, as a name doesn't impress me, a quality instrument that speaks to me does. all good mate. i'm not precious about it all. all my guitars are either strat or tele, even LP shaped, but none are from the two original companies.

[@Thirsty_Deer_Studio]

I really like how you did this rundown Pete. You actually showed the sounds live. Different than the normal rundown we usually see from Premier Guitar etc. Cool....🎸🤘

[@thomasjdigennosr7370]

Loved YYZ at the end!Great video,keep em coming

[@arthung2]

great peek at your gear/setup + loved that clip of you playing YYZ!

[@pauldaskal9510]

Everything sounds Sweet!! what a great Rig for under 150k! The Blue strat is a tone monster! Really cool Kalamazoo type guitars here too!

Thank you.

Always love your vids man, such a great tone! Cool vid, cheers!

Thanks for sharing all that! Really! :)

[@johnmac8084]

Thanks for sharing Pete 👍

[@Benz2112]

Theres a lot going on with that rig, but still really straight forward. I have become addicted to going w/d, it just gives everything more space. I came here for some hi res video of that Aura, I stayed for the fantastic sound check clips (particularly the YYZ clip). Safe travels, Pete.

[@patgiff101055]

you got me jonesing for a Suhr now... great tour of your rig. Thanks!

[@craighornsby78]

Really enjoyed watching you play in Hull on Sunday. Rig sounded fantastic. To be honest the whole band sounded great to, highly recommend seeing the show.

[@kostisk8914]

Thanks for posting! Really cool that you're bringing all the gear when you could simple go digital. Love it! what song are is that at 10:13?

[@gill.5116]

One of the best players on earth and the most friendly and knowledgeable I wish I had this much talent

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@thevernon48]

Cracking show in the Liverpool Phil, nailed every note from the off! That Suhr Aura looked incredible from where I was sat all the way back in Upper Circle - I was wondering what it was all night. The Led Zep and Aerosmith stuff gave me the chills, what a vocalist!!!

[@juzzybassgrove4354]

I love your rig run downs, Pete. I learn so much and you are the preeminent rock tour guitarist

[@jwstout007]

2:39 That Leo vented LP style guitar caught my attention! Very curious if it'll ever get it's own demo video on you channel (or maybe I missed it?). I also liked how the stage volume is centered off the snare, I need to be approaching my stage volumes like that all the time!

[@julianmetcalfe1070]

Wow that was great to see your RIG DR THORN you nearly have as many controls as 737 ,good idea with step down to variac very wise ,also maybe i dont say every time love your guitar playing you play with soul emotionin your SOLOS not many can

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you, sir!

[@bcm1621]

Is Pete bringing the show to the US, RED ROCKS in CO would be a great venue.

[@neilsmith5464]

really good to see thanks - loved the tones last night in Guildford - does the Freq pedal help with obtaining/controlling your feedback as you arent running amps crazy loud on stage?

[@neilsmith5464]

no - because you are a spammer - Pete wouldnt do that.

[@ianmacandie9996]

Thanks for the excellent insight. I’m looking forward to seeing you (and the Suhrs!) in Inverness next month. 🎸🎸🤘🤘😁 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@novakingood3788]

Love that you've included some Quo in the gig! I'll probably be shot down in flames for saying it by the cool rock dues watching this, but I loved their early stuff. Btw , I've done a few gigs with your drummer Tim as dep and he's absolutely fabulous!

[@GxBxN]

Hi Pete! What made you move from the DD-500 over to the Timeline? I know previously you had the DD-500 on your board and spoke highly of it. Curious what made you shift away from it? Thanks! Love your work!!

[@helseygouveia6416]

Excellent

Very nice. Nice to see the other guitarist do 4CM with the Fractal. I didn't like my Helix amp model tones to powercab so I'm recently trying Helix with my blackstar amp for FX only (and my pedal board is still crying to be used) .....much much better. Really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work Pete.
