What makes Pete so amazing is 1.)he is just an absolutely amazing player, and 2.) the guy is super smart. The way he can explain his rig, technique, and does so in a way that makes sense, is easy to comprehend and leaves you with a new knowledge of all things guitar is fantastic. Guys like Pete are indeed rare. We are lucky to have a guy like this that takes the time to illustrate in fine detail what makes his chops and tine tick. There is much to learn from Pete and to that my hat goes off to him. Pete,your skill and patience in giving us fellow guitarists bits and pieces of your vast knowledge of is priceless. Thanks you

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks so much, glad you like what i do!

[@timothyjay2012]

lenporter This Is the Absolute most talented guitarist I've ran across in years!!! I can't believe the little short pieces of Music he comes up with to demo equipment either!! PURE TALENT!!!! Thanks for trying to help a generation of lost guitarist Pete!!! You are a Badass Guitarist BRA!

[@pedraw]

Dang!......Not many musicians at your level saddle up and take us for a ride! This is major league cool! Thank you!

[@AmpAHolic-wn6mr]

Got to hand it to this guy, super down to earth, loves to share his time, experience and knowledge with fellow guitar players. Not to many rock stars willing to do that. So many players haven't a clue how to set up or use their equipment properly. Good to see Pete's into the technical side as well as creating some killer music.

[@PeteThorn]

It's a great guitar! Suhrs are like perfect Fender-stye guitars.

[@denmut]

Best gear demonstrator in the world.

[@paulpugh5315]

Pete man........your fans must be in full drop jaw mode watching your gig demos,you give way to much and more. hope your show's are as good as you sir.......RESPECT.

[@Ps1504]

You're that good man. I'm learning a lot from every video you make. I can't say it enough of how great player you're!

[@PeteThorn]

thanks!!

[@cindykelly5726]

Pete Thorn I'm trying to get David Gilmore sound any info on this. Mojo wave

[@rjmprod]

Pete is a very informative guy, I like his videos because he gets to the point and don't get lost in his descriptions.

[@adamsattic]

Pete, you're an inspiration, brother. Really appreciate the gear videos and access into your studio.

[@arielguitarrista1986]

Thanks Pete, I love the way you play the guitar. Your sound is an inspiration.

[@loveguitars]

Thanks Pete!!! Have a Great Tour!!!

[@TheMixonator]

One of the most informative channels on youtube. Great information.

[@63Spatch]

Another great vid Pete! Don't know where you find all the time, but always enjoy that you do.

[@SuperHotrod4]

Man I love Pete's demo, watch them all the time, just with he had a smooth warm woman tone solo sound in that operation.

[@13COU]

as always Pete...a great rundown and set up!!!

[@fometto]

So much good as usual Pete

[@optimalix]

I've seen a lot of your videos (and liked them all) since quite a bit ago, and just noticed I was not subscribed to your channel! Lol, unforgivable. And now rectified! Thanks for sharing your tone insights with everyone!

[@AlexRGuitar]

Holy crap, every single tone you have setup sounds amazing!!!

[@Jcaburianhimself]

God damn Pete, you are truly a tone master!

[@NickBright6]

So refreshing Pete. Great playing great tones, no posturing and no ego. I've been listening to your album it's great. Looking forward to what you do next.

[@PeteThorn]

Nick Bright Thanks Nick!

[@timh4369]

Awesome as usual. Thanks keep the vids coming

[@peeblesj1131]

On top of having killer tone and being one HELL of a player, Pete seems like such a cool dude. He gets to travel the world playing guitar, and probably has the luxury of being able to choose just about any gear he could possibly want just for the simple fact that he's Pete Thorn, but he still seems like the kind of guy you'd wanna sit around and have a beer with. It's nice to see things going so well for one of the good guys. Keep rockin' Pete.

[@98Vols]

Simplistic is the way. Melissa is very fortunate to have you on board Pete. All the best my friend- GJ

[@tripletrouble30]

Pete, I thinks its awesome that you take the time to make these videos.. I know as a guitar player I really appreciate it.. By the way, your Eruption video is incredible

[@anthonydallarosa8314]

These are the tones that I dream about. Holy crap that top end squish. ❤️

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

Soooo damn good, what a pro!

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you Martin!

[@motyajazz]

Great tones and great demo.

[@dapperdanman1956]

Thanks for the (ethrige tour rig rundown )pete. Mabie sometime you could talk about running your delay Or other effects through the expression peddle. Great work Pete thorn, I appreciate you giving us some of your time.

[@keysersoze3977]

Another great video... I don't know why but the Pete Thorn videos are so much more watchable and educational than most other videos.. It's all about what the equipment does and how it does it rather than who makes it or who made it for me.. Another great vid Mr. thorn

[@PeteThorn]

Lee Harram Thanks Lee! I try and explain things clearly and slowly, i think that helps keep the vids interesting (I hope so).

[@leonidastheking7830]

such a nice fella!! great tone and tips

[@svenzia]

I always enjoy your videos.

[@matuldamegasen8562]

Unreal clean tone, great!

[@jakestewartmusic]

Love the sound you get out of the King of Tone and Kelley amp!

[@anitaroth364]

When I see your pedal boards, it reminds me of all the ones Dhani Harrison from the band thenewno2 has. I am jealous of all the knowledge you have concerning technology as it pertains to Music. I can't wait to tune in to more of your KZbin videos!

[@SoloEpi]

I love your Malcolm Young type crunch with the humbucker in parallel Pete

[@UroboricNate]

This dude knows his gear! Plus hes a great player on top of that, seems to be a genuinely good guy as well.

[@mikemathis6326]

Man Pete, you got the sounds man, Beautiful. Oh & you make 'em sound pretty good too.lol

[@Jeepjones85]

That's why i love my loan star strat the Seymour Duncan pearly gates humbucker sound amazing with my single coils. Great video!

[@tempjohn1111]

Always great.

[@timothywaldvogel]

Humbucker in parallel is by far my favorite sound as of late. It matches the output of my singlecoils on a HSS, but has the sustain and freq. response of a humbucker

[@deltafit]

Pete is an absolute master of tone!

[@samuelxavier2473]

Mr Thorn, you are a monster player and a top class guy.

[@lucagottimusic]

Brilliant in any guitar field... bravo! ;-)

[@PeteThorn]

Greenbacks for the SL68, and the Kelley I was using a Lynchback and a Scum H75 PVC in that cab

[@jasondesjardins7371]

Peter is a walking/talking guitar encyclopedia. Great guy and always worth a listen.

[@PeteThorn]

+Jason Desjardins thanks Jason!

[@PeteThorn]

I still do, sometimes! Using it now on my current tour for a few things. I just vary my rig from tour to tour....

[@tonys2705]

Besides being the monster player you are, you're such a genuinely cool person... Rock on, brother!

[@dwftube]

Great vid - as ever! Just got the CD - I feel a driving holiday coming on! ;)))

[@PeteThorn]

Usually just the clean side, but sometimes I use the hi gain side, it sounds great too!

[@mrezaakbar1344]

Nice suhr man,classic killer looks

[@jjnewbold]

That XTS Precision Multi Drive sounds nice!

[@Mamo878]

The great thing about Pete is that not only is he a fantastic player but he is damn intelligent and is able to articulate nearly indescribable things - music and sound - extremely well.

[@theguitarczar]

You have the best tones, man. You make it look easy. Always do your homework, kids!

[@coffeewaldo]

Love the suhr amp. It sounds great. One day I want the 18watter. One day. Nice demo Pete.

[@KenjiKitahara]

I dig all your videos. I was just wondering what speakers are loaded in those cabs. Thanks.

[@bigleemac]

Superb!

[@rockinchippy]

Amazing tones! Holy crap

[@Mordecai06]

Hi Pete, from all your Suhr guitars this one is the best one, what a tone, I've always had Les Pauls but I'm thinking of trying one of this Suhr Classic guitars and I was wondering if the wiring for the humbucker in your guitar comes stock in all Suhr Classic pro guitars. thanks!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!!!

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Thanks Pete..

[@luisrodz7511]

Peter is the man!

[@underground_man]

Mr. Thorn, your tone in this vid is mindblowingly good. Also, I sure hope you do master classes because your way of explaining things is truly awesome!

[@PeteThorn]

Jacob Morris Thanks Jacob, I'm glad you find my explanations clear!

[@vibetone355]

Pete Thorn certainly knows his stuff, but to many options for me clean or lead sound is all I've ever needed in nearly 50 years of playing

[@RonCharlton]

The series/parallel switch on the humbucker, is it a push/pull pot on the lower tone?

[@DreidMusicalX]

Such a cool guy!

[@tonefingerz2021]

i didnt know he was this good and played with such big artist

[@funkyj0seph]

Hi Pete, what made you decide to use a 21 fret instead of 22 fret on this particular sunburst strat that you have? Since 21 or 22 fret does not affect the tone in any ways. And what is the finishing used on your sunburst? is it nitro-finish or thin poly?

[@MartinCliffe]

Great video, killer sounds. I've been using effects just into the front of an amp or two recently and I'm loving the difference in feel. Am I right in thinking the MIDI AB box is an RJM Music Y-Not?

[@TheSammyreynolds]

do you like effects better in front of the amp as opposed to the loop or just an experiment.

[@perr1983]

Hi Pete! Can you tell me what pickups are you using in the Suhr? Brand and models? They soung amazing... thanks

[@travelbyrocket]

Wonderful review Pete. What speakers are u using in both cabs?

[@BenGraceCreative]

Great video. Is there some subtle reverb going on?

[@SurveyofFilmMusic]

How does the Kelley atten. compare with the Faustine? (I sold my Dx2 because it just felt it interfered w/the tone too much).

[@PeteThorn]

thanks!

[@PhilHeesen]

Grrrreat tones!

[@sparknado]

What speakers? Or did I miss that part?

[@bonesmaan]

i got to say, i experienced it the other way. i lately had the chance to compare a suhr pro series to a fender custom shop hss strat and the suhr just blew me away. btw, the fender was around double the price.

[@Aceandbob23]

What attenuator are you using for the sl68?

[@NicD5150]

Sick sick tone ! Quick question: which CAA/Suhr amp in channel 2 unboosted would be closest to the SL68 ? OD100 Std+ or PT100 (in Ch.2) maybe ?

[@jezzbass1826]

Thank u!

[@bz1bz1]

Pete, another question, how do you like that guitar? feel, tone and how does it compare to a leo fender strat (excluding the bridge position of course). Do you recommend it to someone that's learning?

[@florisgooijer7927]

great tones, where did the Nova go? I still use your presets every gig :)

[@DAVEBLISS2007]

I have to question why you don't take the Fractual Audio AXE FX II, for stage use?

[@AljosaPismonosa]

Hi Pete. As always great tones, really very inspiring to me. Which pickup is in that Suhr guitar at bridge position? Keep on rockin'!

[@niptodstan]

Pete. Can you do a review on these amps/setup with a Les Paul? What dies the Suhr have that a Marshall doesn't? Great review though. As normal!

[@RhettShull]

Awesome tone! What size board is that?

[@pitchwest]

Nice. Thanks for turning me on!

[@Rrouthmusic]

What strap are you using? Super nice!

[@markwilkinson508]

Unbelievable tone...and what a player

[@PeteThorn]

thanks for watching, Mark!

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Oh btw Pete do you use both sides of the King of Tone or only a particular side? Stacked or alone?

[@GazMoz78]

Watched this video A LOT and I've just noticed that you've got Kluson tuners on that guitar, not locking ones! I'm surprised, did you speck it that way?

[@grahamedwards2646]

Great work as always! Which /13 are you using in this rig?

[@PeteThorn]

the Kelley is nice for just knocking some db's off at gigs. Pretty transparent for that!

[@Za7a7aZ]

Great sounding guitars ..and after many years of practise I am upto a better quality instrument and did a little search on these Suhr strats here in The Netherlands. Beautifully built but unfortunately they are a little above my budget. Thanks Pete for showing me their existance anyways..ha,ha.

[@middle_pickup]

When you say humbucker in paralel, do you mean to say the pickup's two coils are in paralel?

[@macnj53]

Pete, why not take the AXEFX and run your effects with that unit?

[@PeteThorn]

It's nitro, and I just love the look of 21 frets and the rounded heel- looks more classic to me

[@austinharrison2453]

Pete Thorn hey bro we gots to jam soon

[@Grant_Ferstat]

I might have asked this elsewhere Pete, but have you done a dedicated KoKo Boost vid mate?

[@rigorhead01]

Both of those amps are great, obviously, but that SL68 is really calling my name.

[@jaeger28]

I love this. Now I'll go and run my timeline in front of my '78 JMP :)

[@Grant_Ferstat]

I'd like to see something more in depth if you ever do get a chance Pete. It's a unit I'm pretty interested in and I'm never going to get to try one in a store where I'm based unfortunately.
