The Suhr PT100 is the signature model of session guitarist and tone connoisseur Pete Thorn. The 100W, three-channel amp is hand-wired and features six 12AX7 preamp tubes, four EL34 power tubes, MIDI connectivity, a series/parallel effects loop and a four-button footswitch.
“The PT100 was born when John Suhr asked me, ‘What are you doing using three amplifiers at once?’” says Thorn. “I was using one amp for clean tones, another for my dirty rhythm sound and I’d switch in yet another head for leads. John said, ‘This is crazy. Let me make you an amplifier where you can get all your sounds out of one head.’ So, the PT100 has a great, American-style clean sound derived from our favorite, old-school amps from Fullerton, California. Channels 2 and 3 are modded versions of favored plexi-style amps from England. The prototype amp was very close right off the bat, but I kept refining it with John, taking it on tours and playing hundreds of shows with it.”

What do you think of the Suhr PT100? Let us know below! 👇

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

I think I’d love to have one. Pete’s tone is always great. I think Ian Thornley uses one also and he always has great tone as well.

[@sharkair2839]

makes me want to skydive into his parking lot in elsinore.

[@rikshredder]

Has the PT100se changed it's circuit or is it the same?

[@SebastianRidriguez]

Tienen contenedores en la tienda

[@cobravinci]

One of the best modern amp ever made ! 🤘

[@troutbum98]

One of my favorite players out there. Pete is a monster player

[@richardgarcia406]

New Suhr gear at Guitar Center is a god send.

[@obsoletecd-rom]

Pete is the man. And this amp is an embodiment of him. Great sounds from a great guitarist who also happens to be an awesome guy. Much success to you, Pete.

[@Jay-og7ld]

I haven't missed a Pete Thorn video in 12 years and I still never knew the PT 100 had that many """"features""""". I have to say it's the very best overall amp I have ever seen. Over the years what you hear on a Pete Thorn demo you can bank on with your life!!! I'm going to now look at the specs on the PT-15 . Killer Video Pete!! Tobi rules tee heeeeeee

[@hollywoodjakespeed8354]

I’ve owned one for 4 years. It’s the best amp I’ve owned in 44+ years of guitar playing.

[@dylancroft2423]

The PT 100 sounds amazing, and I’m loving Pete Thorn’s presentation! The only problem is that this video was so inspiring that I kept playing guitar and had to rewind the video about 15 times. Well done. Get Pete Thorn a raise!

[@VariusSep]

Great job Pete. That amp sounds really good.

[@martinlahaie6012]

Man crush for Pete Thorn...humble,articulate, knowledgeable and a hell of guitar player!

[@themchangesband]

Hell of a nice guy too, if you get the chance to meet him.

[@disco4535]

So sick seeing him get more and more exposure. Such an awesome dude and helluva player

[@lelandgaunt7130]

You were raised by a single mother weren't you?

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks so much!

[@simonlegg3174]

Great amp, great player, genuinely nice person. I've heard Pete playing the amp up close at the Classic Rock Show. It's an awesome thing.

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you!

[@DanCareaga]

My main amp since 2018. Always sounds great, no other amp has come close for me.

[@_patrikjay_]

Pete, I think may be the Best demo of the PT100 to date... Really great demo of all 3 channels...well done Sir! 😎

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!!

[@ianorourke6320]

Sounds great. Pete killed it again

[@alguitarchristie]

I think the PT100 is the most versatile amp I have ever heard. I wish I had the back for it, I just have my lunchbox heads now!

[@TheRodge2112]

Pete rules. Glad to hear him play A’lavenir! Love that tune.

[@ehmmmjay9907]

Woah, is Guitar Center going to carry Suhr guitars now as well?

[@BPToneReview]

Excellent as always. Love my PT100.

[@peterschaefer1665]

God the amp still sounds amazing!!

[@coreyclark6505]

Love Pete. Dude always sounds good. Also, way to wave the King’s X banner. It’s embarrassing that those guys never got huge.

[@PeteThorn]

One of my favorites!!!

[@Earthshaker1965]

Awesome sounding amp!

[@rocknrollresignation93]

Pete could make some rubber bands tied to an empty tissue box sound good. His signature gear is great but Pete is a monster player!

[@lbarj]

A great modern tube amp with a vintage heart , Well Done> @Pete Thorn 👋

[@Joe-mz6dc]

Luscious amplifier.

[@ronnielobosmith4870]

THAT PT100 IS BOTH RAD & BOSS!!!

[@guitarcenter]

It's Suhr, actually! :-D

[@patmcwilliamsmusic]

Great to see Pete doing a new video for this amazing amp. I have a PT-100 and absolutely love it. There is not a bad sound in this amp. Channel 2 has so much gain variation that you can basically get it to sound like JMP all the way to higher gain Marshalls. You will never need a gain pedal with this amp unless you want one. One thing I really love about this amp is the amp sounds great even at quieter volumes. Master volume retains amps tone when turned down. I use the head with the matching PT 2x12 cab which has 75 Creambacks and it sounds like you are using a 4x12. Worth every penny 🔥🔥🔥

[@geezberry8889]

i think the preamp section of this amp was derived from CAE 3+

[@tiagobarrosguimaraes128]

Pete, voce é um guitarrista incrível! Eu te admiro muito como ser humano e pela sua habilidade única na guitarra.👏🏻🙏🏻🎸

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks so much!

[@spacemonkey7137]

Awesome 👌

[@6StringDisease]

God I hope Guitar Center starts selling Suhr guitars and products!!! Please include quality high end gear!!!! Not all of us are into 600$ guitars!!!!!!

[@damonstewart70]

Great guitarist with a great Amp and signature sound

[@ericvinson4628]

10:28 OMG! So good!!!

[@jsauce666]

Pete rocks.

[@L.Scott_Music]

Sometime when listening to Pete play, you can forget there isn't any accompaniment. Wait, that's just guitar!

[@thewestendblogger]

Hi pete. Are there any plans to turn this into a pre amp for use in home studios. Im using the marshal jmp1 pre and yours sounds pretty cool.. thanks

[@Numocron]

Awesome😃👍❤️🎶🎸

[@marcelopignataro6071]

I like so much

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Pete Thorn rules. Does this mean Guitar Center is selling Suhr stuff now? I'm interested in one of John Suhr's pizzas......

[@jamesmarciniec4787]

Nice.

[@themchangesband]

So, John is selling his amps through GC now? Guitars too?

[@dv8322]

I like it. 😄😄😄

[@jayteesgear]

😵🎸🔥

[@youngandrew66]

Since Jeff Becks sad demise Pete has become custodian of the 'beck/tuffnell hair do 😅

[@tonictonetomrockstar1931]

interesting timing with the Friedman Vintage launch happening. I like it though.

[@richardgarcia406]

The PT100 has been out for years, just now it is available at Guitar Center.

[@notasilicaanimus]

The only criticism that I have of this amp is that so many of the controls are on the back, when there's so much space unused on the front panel.

[@PeteThorn]

Hi! If there's a control in the back- it's always for a reason, usually tonal- like, John won't want to run long wire runs or traces all the way to the front, for a certain reason pertaining to what the control does. The controls on the back such as feedback and depth are usually set and forget, I find. Hope that explains!

[@notasilicaanimus]

@@PeteThorn thanks for the explanation. I find myself often wanting to compare the effects of feedback and presence with those of the front panel controls on mine, hence the comment, but if it would have an impact on tone to move them to the front then fair enough. Great demo btw.

[@careybradfordguitar]

One of the worst sounding amps ever made. Suhr really dropped the ball on this one

[@jadonsvd]

Get your ears checked dude

[@careybradfordguitar]

@@jadonsvd hey if you like shit tone buy it. I had to use it a few times and it’s terrible

[@JamesVandevanter]

😊👍🎸🎵👌sounds very good,footsw.logic is cool. I need to listen and read on this.
