Watching you play and the guitar show I have picked up a lot of great new secrets to being an accomplished guitar player .;I've been playing for 40 years but I never stop learning . Thanks Pete
Wah's always break on me too. I wish they'd make a CryBaby with an optical sensor. I got a Talk Box a few years back and love it. I use it mostly now in place of my stacks of wah's in need of modifying.
I assume the Torpedos are daisy chained via line level, but if the stereo return from the time-based effects is returning to the amp effects return, how does the stereo get to the torpedos/PA? A splitter before the amp returns? SMH. Again, that glorious pedal board . . . I'm guessing 4 cables between the pedal board and backline. Or is it Dante'? IpMidi?
Hi Pete, you are always an inspiration! Great rig again ;-) Do you still use Dunlop ultex 0.73? In my opinion it's an awesome pick, stick in my hand, great control! Rock on'
Ah man watch his rig rundown and youll see hes actually really into completely vintage parts and tubes and slides and so on and seems pretty particular about it all, def not just as simple as "straight into a fully cranked amp" makes him sound haha killer player though so if not him then who :)
OneAvsta That is a crazy episode. If you've gotta have old gear, he seems to have great stuff. And he definitely knows his tech. Him talking about that amp is very interesting.
Hey Pete Thorn, I do not know if you are still in France, but this morning, the newspapers are announcing that Michel Polnareff is in life threatening condition at the American Hospital of Paris. Hopefully, he is going to come through, but this gig may have been his last. I noted that for some reason, French performers seem to like you as a side kick. Is this because of Mylène Farmer?
oh I know I subscribe to his channel, he's awesome. I was just curious which of his amazing collection he plays on tour. an incomplete rig rundown without showing the most important part in my opinion , the guitars.
so, everytime I see a touring rig, its always tube head(s) and convoluted pedal board. what does that tell you? it means the kemper is obviosly not good enough. if it sounded good enough then why the hell would anyone mess with all this convoluted shit? same with Axe fx. thats all you need to know when axing yourself if you should drop the $$ for a kemper. I want one but why doesnt pete just play that? a million times simpler. And even if couldnt replace ALL his pedals, you would think it could replace at least half. bummer.
Coppulor It's what I always think as well. Every time I've tried to record with a Kemper I wasn't liking the overdrive/Fuzz sound. The delay and reverb can be good with them in a studio setting, but for any other mods I ended up using separate pedals. Boss has a new digital fx/looper out that is a fraction of the price and many of the fx sound so similar to me. It all sounds like a limitless version of the old digitech processors, that were supposed to replace everyone's rigs fifteen years ago or more.
I don't understand a word he's talking about. I have my guitar, I pug a cable into my guitar and I plug the same cable into the front of my amp, I have a cable from the back of the amp that goes into the speaker cabinet. With all these fancy rigs, people need to explain what plugs into what. Are the Torpedoes amps or what? or are they modellers? lost with too much tech here.
Hi Chris, the Torpedo Live that you show in the video can be seen as silent speaker cabinets, if you wish. You plug the speaker output of your amp into a Torpedo, instead of a cabinet. At home you can have your amp sound on studio monitors or headphones, on stage they have ear monitors or wedges to hear them play. The point is to avoid having too much noise coming from the guitar or bass system, and at home to play your amp in silence.
Been pretty consistent since 2013, this live rig! I used the Torpedo live with 2 PT100's in 2013, with the same pedalboard (although some pedals have changed... )
Some pedals change but I have noticed the Koko, MXR 90, Timeline, Mobius, H9s have been pretty solid over time. Thanks for all the help and inspiration you provide to us all....

Love Pete Thorn. Killer guitar player and humble guy!
True dat!!
Your a good dude Thorn.... Us your fans love you.
love you too!
Watching you play and the guitar show I have picked up a lot of great new secrets to being an accomplished guitar player .;I've been playing for 40 years but I never stop learning . Thanks Pete
As a French following your videos for ages I m very impressed they called you for this tour this is amazing and you deserve it !!!
Great video, thanks twonotes and thanks to Pete.
"there's a new pete thorn gear rundown"
...
internet grinds to a halt as guitar nerds worldwide all hit youtube at once
It's a rare moment for sure!
It's cool the way Pete shows us his gear. That stadium is huge! I'd love to play through that rig just once.
The "stadium" is indeed a Roman amphitheatre located in Nimes, France. ;)
Thanks Pete. Always informative. Best!
Thanks Matt!
I worked as a roadie at this place a few times. Gladiators used to fight there. Really amazing!!!
So helpful. Peter, you are "The Man"
He is indeed the man! We concur!
Mmm. with the huge success of his Friedman BE OD pedal demo, I wonder why he is not using that pedal?
The gig probably doesn't call for it
Wah's always break on me too. I wish they'd make a CryBaby with an optical sensor. I got a Talk Box a few years back and love it. I use it mostly now in place of my stacks of wah's in need of modifying.
Nice rig there Peter.
When is the new Tim and Petes ? heard it was going to be Mateus A. ?!?! killer can't wait
Thank You Mersea
Anyone know where we can get his specific IR?
....great player .....nice guy

Living the dream :)

its no wonder all these guitar Gods are so good look what they have to play through, the guitar plays its self!!!
Great video but some of us knew a lot about Peter's gear thanks to Q&A Wednesday and The Tim & Pete Show ... check out his TH-cam channel
@Pete do you use only one pre-amp on of those PT100 and use only the power amp on the second PT100 to do stereo? Thanks
So which type of drive used the gladiators? I bet, most of them, analog pedals ´cause digital wasn´t invented yet in Nimes Colisseum early times...
ive got a headache where all those chains went
Little late to the party......but awesome! Great player!!!
That's when I like JD Simo: "straight into a fully cranked amp", and it still sounds monster... ! \m/

G-Lab power supplies ? …. hmmm why haven't I heard of these ?

Guitars? He don't need no stinkin' guitars..
I was thinking the same thing! Pete has some great guitars, would be cool to see what he brings out on the road.
what about guitars?
JuanA4788 Suhr?

He'll be using a Kemper soon. Trust me.
I saw that Kemper in the rack (whaaa...?) and then he goes on to explain that stuff is for the bassist ... twice ...
Love Pete but he sure likes changing gear every 5 minutes.
Wouldn't we all if we could?!

Good to know - thanks for letting us know, Pete!
Some pedals change but I have noticed the Koko, MXR 90, Timeline, Mobius, H9s have been pretty solid over time. Thanks for all the help and inspiration you provide to us all....
My rig rundown would be about 30 seconds long
Show us your rig Pete. And lets spend most the time talking about your speaker cabinet... emulation... because that's what we're all desperate to know
It's pronounced "neem".
5 foot long pedal board......
