When you love the tone you dial in with your amp, and then a pedal makes it even sweeter -- that's when you know you have a keeper.

[@PeteThorn]

Yes for sure!

[@donaldmoser212]

For years I have often wondered why certain musicians (guitarists) become a household name and others maybe not so much. Pete, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the bests. Melodic, creative, technical...you have it all. I only discovered you channel a month ago, I am so glad I did!

[@slickcross]

Pete can plug his guitar into a toaster and make it sound like heaven.

[@Distinguished_Djentlemen]

True!

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

He can? O.O What brand of toaster?

[@A.j.Rodriquez]

Kemper

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

@@A.j.Rodriquez Nice. I hear that Marshall and Fender make great toasters too, and many people have copied and modified their circuits with crunchy results ...

Just when he lulls you into a state of calm, he lets loose at 1:01 with some of the tastiest yet thunderous riffage I have seen on the interwebs. Thanks for showcasing your talent Mr. Thorn & keep on Rocking!

Pete I go back and watch this it is so killer. Yiur playing and writing was so killer.

[@TheJstewart2010]

Your clean playing at the beginning was just outstanding. The tone was great, but the playing was even better.

[@keylearning5746]

I bought a Super Clean just to check it out. Honestly, it will never leave my board. I have it last in my drive section, before my volume pedal and all modulation, delay, and reverb. Amazing pedal.

[@FukEmUp145]

oh my god. Pete, you are responsible for a lot of money I spent on gear - and I don´t regret a single cent! Very very cool intro-song, as usual extremely awesome!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

Same here .. started with a clean boost from a previous video and now this .. here we go again

[@billsherrington5996]

Thanks for this demo Pete. It’s the first time I’ve heard the real difference between these 2 pedals clearly!👍🏽

[@murfmurphy6212]

That was one of the best clean guitar sounds I have ever heard. Split humbucker.....wow. Nice work sir. Amazing.

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Honestly, I can't believe how good these pedals are. It's nice to get something that exeeds your expectations.

[@Squiershire]

That clean sound is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Lots of SRV vibes. I need a coil split humbucker guitar now.

[@mojotronix3994]

I remember you doing an episode with Oz Noy, one of my fave guitarists. You were really humble, and acknowledged Oz's abilities. But wow, what a great player you have become. Tone, song writing, phrasing, technique, and the coolest attitude to go with it all. You've made me rethink on how to approach playing, especially in a hired-gun situation. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge Peace

[@PeteThorn]

Thank you!

[@leftymike5625]

Pete, both intro Clips were so good I went back and listen to them again.🤘

[@handlewithcare1234]

love xotic. Love that they are putting the dip switches on the outside. Makes sense

[@paulcowart3174]

I've had the SCB for a few months now Love it as an always on pedal or after a fuzz or as a solo boost that leaves your tone intact So many applications for this fantastic pedal I run mine after my germanium pedals and before my modulation Can't go wrong wherever with this pedal Thanks for the validation Pete 😀

[@ishancooper]

Nice! That's how I run my boosts too. The SCB is a killer pedal!

Man! That clean tone was AWESOME! i need to get one of those pedals! Thanks for the review and great playing!

[@drewbarries]

High cut is the thing, I’ve been doing that with my MXR 10 band in the loop for a few years now. Super Sweet + Super Clean = Super Happy

[@markweaver8529]

I bought the super clean pedal last week,and it is a definite buy,if you have a tube amp,it just raises the great tube saturated tone. Definitely a must have pedal,and stacks beautifully with a decent overdrive pedal. Defiantly an always on pedal.

Hello Pete Thorn! I have an Xotic SP Compressor that's always ON. Now I need to add the Xotic Super Clean... it just sounds right. Thanks for another great video!!

[@JonnyRocksAW]

Your playing is seriously out of this world and I love all of your reviews. Thank you for all your work man.

[@sbadali1]

Thanks Pete. I bought the Super Sweet last weekend; it is awesome. I use it as an “always on” pedal in front of my Princeton Reverb.

[@flyinbv]

Man ! your demos and reviews always answer ALL the questions that arise on any product . Thanks Pete .

[@bigfat6strings]

glad you demo'ed these. seems like i like everything this company makes that i have heard so far. choices choices. thinking two super cleans left & right at the end of the board and the rc booster at the beginning. that rc booster really brings out all the harmonic content and everything out of your guitar before hitting any effects. its like some magic effects company. like you said "a more better button" thats exactly what these fellas make, more better better butter buttons.

[@TavaresProject]

That was awesome!!!!! The clean was beautiful but when you gained it up.... WHOA! smokin leads!!! Great job Pete!

[@guitar_hiro]

Those are just gorgeous sounding pedals, definitely on the list of gear to buy! Especially loved the super clean through the Suhr, but I think I'd get the super sweet for my little Vox AC4. Thanks for the demo and the terrific playing!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@ravenhawk8758]

You make everything sound amazing Pete!!! You just sold me this pedal. My Vertex Steel String clean drive, which is awesome, is in need of some repairs and I have to send it back to them to get it fixed. The dilemma is that there is no way I can play without a boosted signal anymore, and I need a new pedal. Guess what I'm getting?????

[@vonbleak101]

Great vid as always - my seceret weapon / always on pedal is the Echoplex preamp - the way that thing sweetens the tone is sublime...

[@dandube5987]

what a great demo! they're always world class, but so cool to show the different pedals on a single tune like that!

[@RubyD80]

I swear your intros just keep getting better, nicely done mate! I have this cheap eq pedal that I was going to use in post as a lead boost, it's wound up in the pre section as an always on pedal lol. I chalk it up to a happy accident, it really wakes everything up.

Thanks!

[@timwhite5562]

I would LOVE to pull that Super Clean out of that enclosure and graft it into an onboard buffer/booster in my sessions Tele. I've done it with an EP boost some years ago in a Strat that I sold. Since then I've figured out how to do it better without having to put the mini toggles that I did with the EP. The EP being more of Pure boost than a clean boost basically made it seem like the guitar volume went up to 20 then the normal 10, it didn't really fatten it the way a clean boost will. It has those 2 DIP switches, but I didn't really like the frequencies it worked with, this sounds like the sound in my head.

What a great pedal... Its like the difference between 720p and 1440p. Far more vibrant and organic than the original signal. Hmmm... I honestly thought I was done buying pedals. I already have too many. But this isnt a situation where I simply "want"... This is more like a need because it just elevates the quality of the tone.

[@MauriceWanchuck]

Insane playing Pete!

[@aduayer]

Thanx for the demo. Always great specially for those who can’t test gear before buying. I have 2 EP booster on my board and one of them is always on, the other I use as a boost. I’ve already saw those pedals and they said nothing to me, but after I saw this video I am thinking about getting a super clean. Obrigado

Aside from the dip switches , are these 2 pedals significantly different from the EP Booster ?

Same here.. I generally dislike humbuckers on clean tones and was wondering how it sounded so good and percussive like a single coil, but he does talk about how it is split
