DRYBELL UNIT 67 - VITALIZE YOUR GUITAR TONE, demo by Pete Thorn

[@Silas-lc9op]

I use the BBE Sonic Maximizer, through my effect loop, which I leave on all the time. It gives a little harmonic sparkle and a little umph too.. Its subtle.. but very cool. . This pedal seems like that, but with more options

[@kasnitch]

that jam intro made my eyes shine Pete . quite seriously, you are one of the finest players out there . your 'voice' of music is unique and compelling .

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you!!

[@jackbutler2732]

Wow, great demo Pete. The compressor sounds very natural and low-noise; the range master and EQ are a great combination of features. I'm very interested in this unit now. Thanks Pete for the great feel of your playing and showing what this baby can do. Very impressed.

[@bloodyvikings1261]

I bought this pedal because of this video. DryBell shipped it to me from Croatia in less than a week. I immediately put it on my pedalboard and everything sounded better. From clean to dirty, humbucker to single coil it was the missing element to my live tone. I am completely blown away. And, it's super easy to use.

[@christopherrusch]

wait. is the manufacturer Croatian?

[@Dolphinstreets]

Some tasty tones and playing there! One thing that really stands out are your skills in producing and composing your demo tracks. Have you done a video on your "producing process"?

[@Aceandbob23]

Great idea! Take notes Pete ;))

[@TheCjbowman]

Great idea.

[@findJLF]

Agreed!

[@martinsutcliffe5824]

Robert: Pete does a clinic for Suhr on how to produce a track. So far he hasn’t made a video or online course. Hopefully he does, as there plenty of places in the world where there aren’t Suhr dealers.

[@cali3168]

I really hope Pete realizes there's a market and an interest for him to do something like this. Whether on his own, partnering with Suhr or even using sites like macprovideo or Groove3, it's something I would gladly pay for.

[@2VetsBBQ]

Pete, I believe this is the best demo song yet!!! Excellent job!!!

[@dandube5987]

no kidding! so emotive! and were those some mateus-like bends mixed in there?

[@PeteThorn]

Still tryin to learn new tricks! ha

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@tylerjaax4917]

I feel like you could release a new album every month just using content created and inspired from your pedal demos. Simply amazing and so creative! I still get excited each time you post a new video!

[@johnpalmer1005]

This really is a great pedal. I have had one for about a month now and I love it. It just makes everything sound better. So much fun.

[@streetwiseguitar5113]

I've heard MANY of your tracks .... this one + your playing on it really stands out/come together as a statement! Really nice work, Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

Streetwise Guitar thanks!

[@nickyp8708]

The segment of that demo 1.24-till the end is incredible. 👍

[@TalleyWacker1000]

Simply gorgeous! Really like the clean solo stuff right in the beginning and then comparison in the mix. Might have to check this out to give my digital rig more character.

[@patrickfoster4586]

That thing really sounds great! It really brought out the harmonic overtones and the way it's voiced provides some killer lead tones- as you so aptly demonstrated. Good job on the review. Cheers!

[@johnmarquez333]

Such a cool song at the beginning. The combination of melody and chords from 0:28 to 0:34 especially got me.

[@tmitz73]

Some songs just make you wanna drop everything, pickup your axe and just jam!... this is one of those songs! So awesome Pete, glad to revisit this demo. Awesome playing and what a great sounding bit o' kit Drybell has got there!

[@gabrielperrymusic]

Don't fool yourself, Pete makes this pedal sound great, it's not the other way around. :)

[@Distinguished_Djentlemen]

Gabriel Perry right lol

[@gtrsuite]

True, but I saw a vid Pete did on treble boosters. I, of course, went out and bought two different ones (Candlebread MagaViper and an Earthquaker Bows-2-slightly different sounds, both great units) and these types of pedals do exactly what Pete described. It makes your amp come alive. This pedal is basically what I bought, a treble booster (really, a mid freq booster) except it has the compressor and tone stack. Check out the treble booster demo Pete does and then make your decision. BTW, I did not buy any of the ones Pete demoed. I simply did some research and ended up with what I thought best for my set-up.

[@fredholz2]

Thanks for this inspirational demo. I had a lot of space on board with old school boxes (singular functions) that gets there on the clean channel. I have ordered one just to save on the space and gain the easy versatility. Looks like really good small rig stuff, too.

[@RalphB1109]

Sounds great Pete. Although honestly, I think you can make any pedal sounds great. The VibeMachine is on my wish list and now this is right behind it. Thanks for the demo.

[@joshie4330]

That Hendrix riff towards the beginning jumped out screaming. Great playing.

[@michaelcraig9449]

Pete always kicks ass. From one of the first videos I saw him do, the one with the Ethos Clean Drive.. PETE go on tour, play some gigs in St. Louis, various places.

[@justingarcia7722]

This is really a perfectly designed and envisioned pedal. Can’t wait to get mine! Going to solve so many solution on the fly situations in the studio and live

[@laudirjunior8922]

Pete Thorn's voice sounds like thunder and he plays like the storm in his right hand and a tsunami in his left hand! It touches a lot !!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@iansnyder274]

Pete is the king of demo as well as a monster guitar player magician....yeah man!!!!

[@SamLowry_DZ-015]

You are an incredible player. You make the pedal shine.

[@Arnytet1]

El pedal suena brutal. Añadiendo que su técnica da gusto verla.

[@XChristianNoirX]

Pete man.. I just got the pedal this week and it's awesome! It even makes my lifeless clean channel on my EVH sound like what it'd expect a great, cranked Febder amp to sound like. All the controls are really welcome.. Might need two of these in a switcher! 😂

[@swingthestatue]

Pete never disappoints.

[@gr8tnowwhat]

I think you need an EP of just the last few demo songs. Your playing is simply awesome! ...and that pedal is definitely somethig worth checking out. Thanks!

[@BensMusicDojo]

Pete Thorn = Creativity

[@PeteThorn]

😊🎸🎸

[@ttop23]

Man that’s a great sounding pedal. Been looking for something like this for a long time. Fantastic demo as always dude thank you.

[@franknguitars7671]

Awesome! You play so clean and have such good taste with all the arrangements and tones. Thanks for sharing this.

[@eduardoprieto5267]

What a wonderful journey to end my day. One of your best songs. So smooth and perfect lines to that chord progression. Super cool 4 sure. "Fun pedal to play", I'm coming knocking and borrowing it. Lol

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks! And this pedal is still on my board

[@jettramel]

DAMN! Loving the playing as much as this pedal, have been wanting to build a treble booster, built in with a couple of other effects, this does it. a Brian May type booster, with an aural exciter. Not many things blow me away, glad I woke up to this, amazing pedal, think I'll stuff int the back of my amp, lol leave it on all the time. Thank Pete, great demo of the Drybel 67.

[@Riverdeepnwide]

Pete, your playing man! Inspired and inspiring I love it.

[@markbanning514]

Great demo and great playing, sir! One of the best demos I've seen!

[@tonehunter8755]

I wonder how much fun it is being this good at guitar? I'm guessing quite a lot

[@PeteThorn]

Aw thanks I’m glad u dig what I play!

[@tonehunter8755]

Pete Thorn dude your videos are my go to for gear demos! Always show them off in the mix and by themselves, always tasteful playing. Brands like Suhr offering signatures is a testament to your talent. Happy your aren't getting that KZbin burnout out you mentioned

[@elonmush4793]

the trick is to have fun at whatever level you are

[@jayguitar]

Oh wow, that sounds fantastic! Thanks so much for the awesome track Pete. The pedal really adds lots of character to the sound! Well, this is going straight onto my Christmas shopping list 😊 have an amazing day 😊🙏🤘

[@richardelson3261]

Great demo. This pedal is terrific been on my board permanently. It effectively replaced three other pedals so I got room simplicity and room back

[@jewelsreumund3254]

Good stuff as always you got me excited about this pedal last time that happened I purchased the immerse. Thanks for all the effort and fun you put into the video reviews

[@spost26]

Crazy cool track Pete!! Super funky groove man!!!

[@icenic_wolf]

I accidentally bought a D&M drive immediately after watching your "natural overdrives" video. And now this! Must... resist... But... sounds so good....

[@ronraducanu9633]

Dude...my wife is going to find you...two awesome pedal demos in just a few days. How much money do you think I have!!?? Sheesh. All joking aside, looking for a nice compression pedal and was very impressed with the Chellee Compy you demoed the other day. How does this one's functionality compare? Love your vids, man. Thanks so much for sharing your time ane expertise with us!

[@Distinguished_Djentlemen]

You are really becoming a legend! Great tones.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks for watching Anthony!

[@StealthParrot]

Oh man that intro was just mind blowing !!! Pedal sound fantastic too.

[@TedSchoenling]

wow... your playing on this one has blown me away. It is next level, even for you.. that pedal must have really inspired you!

[@PeteThorn]

thanks!

[@simonc61]

Wowza, why have I never heard of this guy before? What a player! Incredible feel and tone - oh and that pedal is impressive too, I want one. The colour of that Suhr is beyond gorgeous :-)

[@PeteThorn]

Hi Simon, welcome to my channel!

[@simonc61]

Thanks Pete :-)

[@ShawnTubbs]

Great demo Pete!! Cool pedal for sure.

[@alguitarchristie]

It's my new always on pedal, thanks to your video Pete.

[@julestielens6988]

I have something similar with my Earthquacker White Light. For a lot of sparkle and , with gain up, mora raunchiness.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

A brilliant idea a whole pedal from the past but take the key thing it did so well. The Rangemaster was called a treble booster but the coolest thing it did was boost the upper mids at the sweetest spot imaginable. The compressor too ...lots of compressors do as good a job BUT they don't have tha Urei tone. It is more of a hot rod upgrade for the preamp of your amp.

[@kevincourcey813]

Sounds fabulous, but I always wonder if I'm being taken in by the fact that it makes the sound louder. Everything sounds better louder. Would have helped to have an A/B with the volume controlled, that way could focus on the tone more. Great playing as always.

[@PeteThorn]

Well it does boost! That’s part of the good stuff it does haha! You can hear in the section where I’m just demonstrating the compressor the unity gain tones

[@PeteThorn]

But really the good stuff happens when you hit the amp harder!

[@tmitz73]

Great Song and Playing PT!!! Love the tones.... that pedal is RAD!!!

[@ludlowfalls8856]

Great playing and video as always. The pedal sounds great. I have a Creation Audio MK 4.23 that is always on.

[@inopartners]

It will become MODERN CLASSIC!

[@55IAMIRONMAN]

It has an old Kings-X flavor with the dirty side, really cool.

[@ishancooper]

💯💯💯

[@Marco67MI]

Great pedal and even greater playing! Thanx Pete.

[@SimplyJosh]

Amazing player.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@FreddyFuFu]

I always have a treble booster and an 1176 in my plugin chain when I play on my laptop. It is part of my secret sauce. I guess no more.

[@jensenbell]

I could feel the addictiveness just listening. I know I'll love it. I use an early Mike Fuller pedal that boosts and slightly compresses for my "correcting" of the lows and highs of my JTM45 and my AC30. But this seems like I can dial it in more finely... and yeah.. chasing the perfect tone is always addictive. Thanks, Pete! BTW .. I have the Cerberus for teaching blues right now.. and I keep selling them to my clients and having to get new ones. Thank you for showing us that one.

[@PeteThorn]

it's a good piece of gear!

[@FabrizioPeretti]

I loved that section in double stops at 1.15!

[@L.Scott_Music]

Damn, that lick and tone at 5:50 was nuts! I want one!

[@jammergreg]

Stellar! Compressor meets beano boost!

[@NGBlad]

Fantastic opening riffs!!

[@manifestgtr]

I’ve been wanting a cali76 for a long time. I’ve always wanted “that” guitar compression sound on my board. Just never pulled the trigger for whatever reason. And now this comes along....I’m gonna have to live with the knowledge that it exists for a while before going either way. This obviously isn’t that fully featured from a compression standpoint but honestly, how much of a fully featured compressor do you really need on your board? I don’t know. It’s gonna take a while for me to work it all out. For the time being, my smoothie compressor is doing quite nicely.

[@elimhmar2836]

Wondering what you ended up with?

[@johnpalmer1005]

I have both. The Origin Effects stays on all the time and I use the Drybell 67 for a boost.

[@manifestgtr]

Elim Hmar Ended up snagging a cali76 last summer when a good deal on the “black edition” came along. Since then it’s been kind of an “always on” (with my prince of tone) like John P uses it. I use it in a pretty big midi switching rig...and I’ve noticed the two pedals that wind up in more patches than anything else are the prince and the cali.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

I just caught Brett Kingman's demo of this pedal and was impressed. Now, you've come along and put together this one - another gem. I really like what this pedal is doing. That said it does fall well into the boutique pedal price range. You get what you pay for in this case, I suppose...

[@Brennansdad]

Marc Cote Brett Kavanaugh’s opinion should be irrelevant

[@MarcCoteMusic]

You are kidding, right? Kingman, not Kavanaugh.

[@Unusednickname_1970]

I know I’m a bit late here, Pete. I love the Unit67 and your demo is amazing. I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind telling me what vibe pedal you used. It sounded so great!

[@dapperdanman1956]

Great play and a great effect to kick it into high gear

[@findJLF]

Wonderful demo Pete. This pedal definitely resonated with you, which is great. Looks like it belongs on my pedalboard too!

[@christianboddum8783]

Hi Pete! The recent addition of a Rangemaster in the Helix finally made the Rory Gallagher AC-30 TB sound fall into place for me (I usually have the studio comp on as well, so that's close to this pedal), the harmonics just fly off the fretboard with Rangemaster!

[@chrisferrara190]

Sounds pretty great. ...of course when you have Pete demoing it. It sometimes sounds like a slight delay with a chorus added in that 80s "Killer of Giants" mode. ...keeping the attack tight with compression. I think I need this pedal.

[@ronfrey6639]

Sold sounds great Pete thanks for sharing.

[@jimi4290]

PETE, YOU ARE SO DAMN GOOD!!!

[@PeteThorn]

Aw thanks Jim!

[@F.BERTOLOTO]

Salve ai Peter. Top pra caramba esse pedal Abraços e bends

[@odgeUK]

I don't understand these pedals that 'enhance' everything. Like the Shaeffer (sic) pedal et al. They generally sound like clean boosts or EQs to me, with the added noise that boosting any signal usually brings. I need to try this stuff.

[@PeteThorn]

Try it! You’ll see right away. Makes everything more “alive”, boosts and improves the tone AND feel and yes it will increase noise floor somewhat. But you hear it in vid, it’s acceptable

[@aduayer]

I have and SP compressor and a EP Booster always on on my board as a sound mojo thing, but looks like I will give this a try. Their vibe 2 is on my wishlist too. Great review , as always . Thank you

[@BeefNEggs057]

Alexandre Duayer Chaves This sounds very similar to that pair together. Or instead of the ep maybe a klon type mid boosty pedal like a tumnus.

[@Avatar7x7]

Great sounding pedal... I do hear quite a bit of noise and hiss when you kicked the pedal in but it does have some intangible mojo going on with it ..Greg Koch would call it "gristle" !

[@PeteThorn]

Ya its acceptable ha!

[@Jay-sy5yf]

Thanks for all u do, Pete!

[@Tubedriver42]

Apart from the extremely juicy guitar tones dished up in this video, I feel your guitar playing has really shifted to a level where I am guessing that there really isn't much you can't play Pete? I would expect that you're at a level now where basically whatever you think, you can play? It seems so effortless.... And that came through to me on your latest album. Freedom was the word I used. You said on your last live stream you are really enjoying guitar playing at the moment. Good for you man.

[@PeteThorn]

There is so much shit that I can’t play. But I’m starting to just play more like me I think which feels good

[@THUNDERWORX]

I was playing a riff today that is something like Rush's "Closer to the Heart." When I heard you demoing this, I was thinking... that would be the perfect compliment for high note rhythm picking in something like that. Great playing and great sound as always. That is a super pedal.

[@jakinstire9008]

Can we get the tabs for the solo please? i cant stop watching this video lol

[@mcfeeble]

WOW this pedal rocks!!! Did you use the OX and what amp/signal chain were you using?Its expensive watching your demos!!

[@stroopwafel6141]

Great demo but for the biggest part the vibe is in your fingers! You hit the notes so clean.

[@stevealliemusic]

Truly awesome demo song!

[@SalvoStrat]

Great "toy" Pete... thanks for the advice! And great playing as always... ;) cheers from Italy!

[@BenvanGeest]

What an EXCELLENT video and song again, Pete! Now I need this pedal too. LOL!

[@alemotter4861]

Hey Pete! Such a good pedal! Excelent review! Cheers!

[@steveneastburn1253]

Sounds great, love the demo song.

[@scarpossessed545]

Great track and tasty playing!

[@jerbear1601]

Sounds like a pretty nice box for sure!

[@mlhance7930]

I must say you are an amazing musician. I have been watching the Scream tour (many times) from the Netherlands and all of you in the band (especially you) are incredible! I loved how you began Ground Zero & smoothly went into Never Far Away. Did Chris Cornell arrange those things or did the band?

[@PeteThorn]

I helped with putting together the live stuff, yes.

[@mlhance7930]

@@PeteThorn thank you! I've watched that show many times & enjoy it each time. Everyone played to perfection! Especially how you blended from 1 song to another. Saw CC solo in 2013 in a small venue. He was kind, funny, gracious, humble & a night I shared with my sister. I enjoy hearing you play the blues. Keep sharing....

[@robertocadow8634]

I have bought a great bunch of pedals after seeing Pete´s demos....I hope I can play as half as good as he does before I sail away.....´cause I´m 65 and recently 3 heart bypass owner...lol...

[@TheDarinAmes]

This is one of your finest compositions, Pete. I'd love to work with you on making it into a full, song with lyrics. Would you be interested?

[@TheDarinAmes]

Hey Pete. I'm still interested. Please let me know if you'd be into talking about turning your demo into a full song.

[@markinthemix6055]

I missed which knobs were dedicated toward the compressor part and the rag master part. The big knob I’m getting for sure is the overall boost and or gain.

[@PeteThorn]

yes and the input switch and sustain- that's all comp stuff. The other controls are for the eq/rangemaster boost

[@gotta56forme]

Always love the vids, Pete... a less formal indicator of how much you are enjoying the pedal could be measured in 'guitar face'. Not sure I remember you having as much guitar face as what I noticed in this vid! ROCK ON!

[@ozuidema]

Great playing, and one of the few times that a pedal impresses me. Although I wonder if it adds that much beyond my Diamond compressor. Anyway, just subbed!

[@arikoenig4536]

Great instrumentals Pete 👌🏻🎶

[@julestielens6988]

Well a couple of weeks later: this is the the always on pedal. I had to get used to it but the compressor works suble but great , not like any compressor i once owned. Best buy of the year!!!

[@PeteThorn]

I know what you mean! It is a terrific sounding box, and would be an easy one to leave on all the time

[@naturesguard]

Awesome playing. As always.

[@weaslemusic]

Damn that was banging! Kinda had a Satch vibe to the soloing. Keep up the great work Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Michael!

[@2Plus2isChicken2013]

I don't remember you ever being as hyped about a pedal as this one. Excellent demo as always! Also, I regard you as one of the best players out there. I still need to get the new record!

[@dukebigguns9618]

Start saving money for this one. Xlent video demo!
