[@RhettShull]

Yeah, that thing sounds amazing.

[@PeteThorn]

Yo Rhett!

[@kellyjackson7889]

I wonder what it'd sound like with no negative feedback (could be a cool switchable feature)

[@LPMojoGL]

@@kellyjackson7889 Check out the Down Brownie by Cutthroat Audio. It has a NFB switch for 3 different values, and a whole bunch of other tricks. Not to take away from the Hombre. I've played it and it rocks. Killer amp, great price too.

[@kellyjackson7889]

@@LPMojoGL Thanks for the heads up.The DB is more expensive than the Hombe but you get a ton more features and arguably two strong channels.

[@amritjanardhanan]

@@kellyjackson7889 Itll be more dynamic with less headroom more volume but a looser feel

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Dang dude smokin as always buddy.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Robert!

[@PaulDavids]

That LP and Tele sounded sooo good through that thing! Nice vid Pete!

[@francismoshe5150]

I guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream new movies online?

[@francismoshe5150]

@Cameron Makai thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!!

[@cameronmakai3344]

@Francis Moshe glad I could help xD

[@Terribleguitarist89]

The Brownface era is THE tone I've always had in my head. I love my Tweed clones but I would love to add this to the amp stable.

[@PeteThorn]

It’s super sweet, tons of mojo and it’s new and built like a tank. No-brainer!

[@ElevatedJamTracks]

Sounds so tasty! 👌

[@soundknight]

Why the heck would you want a modeler when you could have this sweet little thing for a similar price???

[@chriskilian2325]

Silent playing? Lots players have entered married-w-kids stage in life where playing loud is just a rare luxury

[@wea69420]

Maybe because they play completely different roles?

[@clemguitar63]

Wow Brian, by far you're most insightful comment to date!

[@AlanScottBand]

single channel amp of the year- character for days!!! the demo song is perfect use of the amp sound.

[@alguitarchristie]

That is one righteous guitar tone my friend! Definitely nailed the ZZ top sound from the early albums. Awesome!!!

[@bones11252]

Pete, PLEASE STOP! I just dropped the coin for the PT15IR head and now I want this! Cool stuff

[@vintagekory]

He said early ZZ honestly I heard a cool 70's Joe Walsh vibe going.

[@WITELITE]

Boy that guitar panned left into the Marshall - What a tone!

[@jppagetoo]

I agree with everything you said about brown era amps except one little detail. Suhr being more reliable. Suhr amps may be as reliable, but not more reliable. Leo knew how to build them right and even 60 years later, they still are rock solid.

[@jackprice7828]

A great open tone not overly saturated but enough natural breakup. Love the feedback.

[@topjimmy2013]

That is crazy man, I love this amp. On order this second. Thankyou Pete for running different guitars through it. I never understood the 335 but it was magic through that amp.

[@gisellechacon7081]

Pete- thanks so much for your excellent channel! I see so many people today that don't really understand how the old amps worked- they approach tube amps like they're just *amps.* But you know that the amp is part of the instrument, just as much as the strings. With your demos, I can actually tell how stuff works- what it sounds and feels like. Plus it's inspiring to hear someone still playing guitar in more than two dimensions. 👍🏼

[@markmcdonald2421]

Hi Pete. The M160 has a hyper cardioid polar pattern. While similar, is not, technically, a figure 8 polar pattern. Love your stuff.

[@KfirOchaion]

Sounds great Pete!

[@nilocsmusica]

Great! One of my fav guitar amp geek vids. He’s knows how to play, he knows his gear! Happy good times!

[@musicmann1967]

I immediately connected with the sound of this amp. (and those guitars!!) Really awesome.

[@richardb7686]

Pete, you can make a tin can at the end of a string, sound good.

[@rmedzoyan]

Killer. Sounds fantastic. I love the simplicity.

[@patmcwilliamsmusic]

That is my absolute perfect tone of guitars right there! Bought this amp after seeing and hearing this video. Absolutely amazing as usual PT! I would love it if you would go through how you record your guitar tracks with a mic, levels to DAW etc. Thanks

[@mariodriessen9740]

I'm a Vox guy, but I'd be perfectly happy with this amp. In fact, I think it's the best sounding amp I heard in years. Love it! ❤️

[@TheMujiFuji]

Sneaking a history lesson in...too cool! Love to geek out and hear John talk about these amps...

[@PaulReno]

I think the Beyerdynamic M160 is hypercardoid, the M130 is the figure of 8 one. I also have this amp, Great Video!

[@soundlyadam]

Love the ZZ Top vibes- so tasty. Wonderfully musical review Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@jorgeleonel6663]

It is incredible how much we can learn about amps and effects from Pete - besides being amused by his killer playing! I'm not only a happy PT15IR owner after being so much inspired by his playing, but also comprehend much more about pre's, power's, cabinets and pedals simply by watching and absorbing his great weekly content. BTW, the Hombre sounds amazing too! Congrats & thanks so much for all you do, Pete. You're an amazing guitarist, teacher and an absolure class act! (looking forward to best ways to pull off 78 EVH tone from PT15 and a few effects, what about that for a video theme? :) cheers!

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you! I will think about that

[@MWright95186]

wonderful... sure could hear the Billy in there!!wow!... have you played through a Champ x2 15watts 1x8 i think, it also comes in a small head 20watts with amp modelling in it too, i think they sound good fer the $ putout and what you get as a starter amp...something to build a rig on ? thnx ;0) M

[@TruthSurge]

you just needed 2 more to make..... Tres Hombres. no?

[@CrazyHenkie777]

Eaarly ZZ-top was all I was thinking hearing those first notes. Awesome amp, and awesome playing as always.

[@davidransom643]

Nailed the ‘scene change in 90s sitcom’ tone at the beginning (a compliment)

[@bradly373]

My favorite series

[@Cr8z4life]

OMG through the Marshall 4x12 with green backs was unreal!! The stock speaker too bright for me..... the greenbacks were perfect!

[@rcoveyduc]

"In the weeds with the Tweeds" - PT3 track in the making. :)

[@MrApprobatur]

MAN that sounds KILLER! Might even be one of the best bridge humbucker sounds I've heard!✨

[@Guitarisforgrins]

That intro.. god damn

[@kaindog100]

Guitarisforgrins hell yeah

[@EOD714]

This amp certainly can punch above its fighting weight. It has some of the best amp overdrive tones I've ever heard, but it is loud. I don't know if it is really louder, or it is pushing certain frequencies that give extra perceived volume. Either way, it is much more pokey than a deluxe reverb.

[@patmcwilliamsmusic]

I just picked one of these up and it's a loud 18 watts. Works with live drums in a room.

[@pedraw]

Pete, you are amazing at sculpting tone. That's one bad "Hombre"

[@Jonathan-qj1li]

You make the best videos IMHO keep rocking Pete God bless!!!

[@jbatista9789]

This amp sounds so good!

[@MikeHansen1970]

Sounds great. You always seem to find the best guitar/amp pairing.

[@chrisbirdsall6055]

I heard a guy pumping a Custom Shop Tele through this in a music store in Lincoln the other guy and he made it sound outstanding; round, warm and full, but with clarity.

[@MatzeKloft]

Great sounds! The Beyerdynamic M160 actually has a hypercardioid pattern.

[@PeteThorn]

Does it? I thought ribbons all pick up something from behind as well.

[@MatzeKloft]

@@PeteThorn Its sibling the M 130 has a figure of 8 pattern. The actual pickup pattern is not inherent to the type of microphone, but is achieved through the specific design.

[@cobravinci]

Love your "Amp in the zone" series... Can't wait for the next ones ! Cheers

[@lc11s]

Pete, that's super tasty playing and juicy tones! Thanks for the demo ;)

[@dandube5987]

pete thorn with headphones and guitar face is giving me some paul gilbert vibes!

[@Paul-dw2cl]

Pete, your playing is phenomenal. Even though that’s something you hear a lot it’s hard not to be compelled to tell ya

[@jacquesbureau5294]

A good player, good guitars and a good amp. What more can you ask!!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks for watching!

[@murfmurphy6212]

Jeez you got some great tones in this one. I wish it was longer...great video

[@GregsGuitars]

if I would produce my videos like you - I would need decades... but: without any doubt you are doing the best job in the net!! Alsway fun to see and hear you!

[@JayTheLane]

Pete sporting a circa 1996 Liam Gallagher haircut. Don't get upset mate I dig it 👍🏻

[@FirestormAudio]

Looooove this series! Moooooaaaar amps in the zone videos please!! lol

[@davman115]

Looks and sounds great. But I'm running out of kidneys to sell!

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

That’s a really good sounding amp, John does it again!

[@grantwilcox3738]

Thanks Pete! Really enjoy your channel and especially your playing! ZZ Top is a sweet spot for me.

[@naivesteve5722]

I wish i was a kid again starting out. All this great guitar, amp and gear talk at your finger tips is priceless. Nice history lesson Pete in this vid.

[@adamr8878]

Another home run Pete. Sounds freakin awesome man !

[@liorashermusic]

Great sounding amp. Thank you Pete!

[@skullkid112]

Pete, could you do an episode on the Vox ac15c1? Mainly because I have such a hard time with mine lol. Purely selfish request.

[@soulgamblers]

Sir, yyou hit the nail on the head!!On top of the incredible tone out of the Hombre the build quality is outstanding! I watched Psionic Audio's video when he took the Hombre apart and showed us the insides, from that point I went right out and purchased one! I have enough amps already but the sound and the quality of the build far surpassed anything in my music room!

[@iemedehaan5409]

Good sound with the tele!

[@slipbeat]

Not all ribbon mics are figure 8 patten including your Beyer M160. Hypercardioid. Great demo, that amp sounds incredible.

[@PeteThorn]

Yes yes yes I know now yes I feel like Peter in “office space” with his TPS reports

[@TheSavage1969]

There's been a few 20w chassis using the 12AX7/6V6 setup that have been outstanding lately, and make great pedal platforms too boot. Other fine examples of this are the Canadian made D20 and G20 units. Both have a reactive load built in and a balanced XLR on board. These high quality smaller amps are going to end up as mainstays with session artists and in studios imho. Regards.

[@Qstick333]

That sounded amazing. Definitely hearing some early rev. Willy in there.

[@jeffroq]

Such a fantastic demo this Pete. I must have watched it at least 20 times. After this and the Peach video I had to get one. I gig now with my Hombre plus I use it as a cab for my PT 15ir for shows where I need more drive options. Awesome combo. Cheers

[@chrisquinn9104]

I had a Brown 61 Deluxe in the 90s. Sold it. Maybe I shouldn’t have. I guess there were other amps I liked better (silver Princeton). Now my favorite amp in this small amp with Marshall Tone group is my ‘60 GA-8 Gibsonette. Ever play one?

[@mrbigg7255]

Great sounding amplifier. Nothing better than an amp in the zone.

[@fabienv1146]

Very good sounds, very good Amp, very good video and..... Very good guitarist!

[@IamtheActionman]

I've listened to this way to many times. Simple...reminds me of AC/DC . Yes I did compare to AY. I wanna jam with you one day.

[@tjnugent62]

That amp sounds amazing.

[@drewbarries]

Great demo Pete, thanks for explaining how your able to capture what’s coming from the back, I’ve struggled with getting that via SM57s but man does it sound great, awesome tone machine.

[@elkthroer]

I just bought this amp from Angele City Guitars in the valley because of this. Thanks again.

[@MartinCliffe]

As if I wasn't GASing hard enough already for this one, Pete. Dayum.

[@brucecampbellx]

This thing sounds great. Would love to see you demo the Marshall DSL40CR some time, Pete. For us more budget oriented folks, lol.

[@ctld5266]

Sound great. Have check the last toontrack drum recorded with Eddie Krammer. Very Bonham, would sound very good with this amp !

[@MarcBeringen]

Straight into the amp Pete Thorn is my favorite Pete Thorn

[@bluesful]

A head version of the Hombre would be awesome, as I could then use it with all my cabs.

[@MrScrofulous]

Sounds so much better through the 4x12, which surprises me not. I've got a H&K 4x12 with old greenbacks in to, and it sounds fantastic with nearly everything (Bad Cat Hot Cat 30 being a notable exception)

[@vhollund]

M160 was Eddie Kramers goto mic on Hendrix's guitars

[@RobCmusic]

My main amp for several years was a '63 brown Concert (4x10 combo with that wonderful harmonic tremolo). That thing was a mini plexi half stack! The Brown Fenders are my personal favourite and the Hombre sounds superb in this demo.

[@vladzubac5360]

the best Fender Suhr made:)))))..really great amp...!!!

[@jeffroq]

Ace - been waiting for this one. I’ got my hombre a month or so ago and an Alt T this week. I have to wait until everyone else goes out to turn it all up. Thanks Pete great to hear it full on.

[@charleshoernemann8661]

Sounds incredible! But you would even make a microwave sound good...Kudos, Pete 👏

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you Charles!

[@jonathandiaz2435]

I’ve been starting at these amps since at saw it at Namm, my goodness does it sound BEAUTIFUL

[@drloqutis2492]

This is one amp that when I heard it I wanted it. Great opening jam, now start a super group called The ThornByrds!

[@paulphilippart7395]

Loving that amp.

[@mikaelsjoberg1894]

Phil Lynnot would have hired you in a split second...:)

[@iTrove]

This demo is going to sell lots of these. Plugging straight in.. BONUS! So tired of the magic box that is never mentioned but in passing when someone shows off a new guitar or amp all the while raving about the tone no one else will achieve. Nice Job on this.

[@ykdickybill]

Another fantastic review Pete. There are so many variables in amp design , components, schematics, hardwear. It is an art form . This amp is the equivalent of Van Gogh’s Sunflower painting.

[@AZCobraman]

The Ampeg J-20 is another great Brown Deluxe clone....but I'm keeping my '62 original.

[@bbbro34]

Great sounding combo amp. Dig it. Would have liked to have heard the termolo sound on this...probably does surf music sounds well too. I believe Gibbons is now playing Magnatone M80 amps. The newly revived Magnatone amps sound great...get your hands on one if you can and take it for a ride.

[@tjnugent62]

The amps sound like the LaGrange tone. Bigtime.

[@gustavogutierrez3610]

It sounds amazing...

[@johnschoppmusic]

Nice vid my man! I’ve been messing with the new version of Two Rocks Burnside. My ears are ringing because I’m addicted. Lol. ~cheers

[@fabifaszanatas6661]

This demo is just superb. I tried to cover the intro track - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIe1kJVsa6uEpc0 Hopefully one day I will own one of Johns pieces of art :)

[@IvorThomas]

I have a really great Carr amp already, but I'm gassing for that Hombre amp!

[@rerawho]

Fantastic. Unfortunately I will never be able to afford the luxury.

[@gauloiscalifornien]

I thought it was Johnny Marr playing, nice haircut!

[@tjallingdejong9645]

Nice amp for sure ! Again , in the corner left below I saw the Top Hat amp , when is it gonna show up in some Demo Pete ?

[@abnzg]

am I the only person thinking "omg that's Joe Walsh's seventies tone"?
