Chris you really inspire me to play more. Not practice but play. Every time I see/hear you play, I'm reminded that the guitar is such an expressive instrument and I play with more feeling and freedom to sound like me. Thank you. Please keep the videos coming after your name becomes household. Which I predict will be soon rather than later...
Lovely! That sounded like Bold as Love, right at the end!
That bold as love esque piece at the end 😍
Oh my, I think I just heard perfection.
I would pay cash for a lesson in feel of that intro. I'm "advanced" in my playing but I can't speak that language for a sustained period. I'm in awe Brother. Thank you.
Once again,different class!
Chris Buck, I used to drive by a Yamaha dealer on my way to work but since watching your videos I cannot for fear I will buy a Revstar on sight.
Thanks for you videos, Chris! you made me want to play my guitar after a long time away!
Great sounding pedal; sounds lovely with the Strat and the Macon, and the Revstar at the beginning sounds stunning. Great playing as always. Have a great time tonight in Glasgow.
Sounds great... your playing is amazing!!
Stunning playing Chris as always (pedal’s not bad either)!
Had to hit the like just for that intro jam! Great stuff!
cool sound
That pedal sounds great but your fingers sure tell it what to do. That was fantastic, if casual, playing, i'm so envyous.
I have to get on this, Adrian's pedals are so good!
Fantastic tones, loved that little rendition of bold as love on the play-out and really appreciated you showing the tones with single and humbucking pickups - sounds like a fantastic pedal!
The sound of an entire career! Heavy Water and Strat!
The pedal sounds great on this video, and it did on Pete's too. Thanks Chris! I loved the flirtation with Axis too.
Hi mate
I love how you never need too much with your amp tone.
But add the magic dust with the pedals you highlight.
Beautiful playing by the way.
So refreshing to look for gear & hear a player really playing sweet sounds that feed me.
Thank you.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
If I could have your fingers in a magic box it would be the best pedal ever ! You are an amazing and inspiring player ! Keep doing your thing ! Glad to see that guitar legacy will be protected by players like you ! It keeps me working to reach out the best of me as far as it could be ... Excuse my English if my words are wrong but I am a big fan
Your playing is very inspiring
Man that Hendrix jam at the end.... Dammit man. That crazy bend dropped my jaw. Killer stuff.
...great feel and touch ...👍
Wonderful player.Wonderful touch and tone. Your tone is such that playing slide would be superfluous !
You're playing has always been great, but wow in this video it was simply amazing. Great feel and tone. The pedal sounded amazing.
So good!
You could make a an empty can sound incredible lol. Sounds amazing!
Jonathan Nicholl 2nd!! Any dude that can make a Squier sound like a Custom Shop has my full attention 🤘🏼
Lol this comment is boss 🤣 👍🏼
Nailed it, bro '!
What a wonderful guitar player!!!!
Great sound. THis pedal looks brilliant.
stellar playing
Just paid $320 USD for the Dane do I regret it absolutely not! Best clean boost overdrive I've ever heard. I wish it was easier to get in the states and the mark up is high but screw it I found my king of tone.
The playing here is top drawer...and the pedal is organic.
Great Pedal - Great Demo - this is replacing my Spaceman Mercury IV in my chain as my sort of mostly always on Germanium harmonic texturising boost!
Sweet mate, sounds very good!
Great playing
Your improvement since you last played this song on video is huge. Would love to hear your take on slow dancing in a burning room sometime!
Friday Fretworks ... makes Friday's even better... and this is such a perfect sound what for you do ... they really nailed it. Amazing pedal!
Sometimes your videos just aren't long enough!! 🤣🤣🤣
On that outro i just closed my eyes and started envisioning all kinds of scenes in a movie ending way and I just got lost...
Just beautifull, both, pedal and your playing..thnx friend!
..oh and one word.
TABS! :)
Worth the watch for first 20sec alone
Damn sweet!
you play great man, congratulations 👍
God damnit!! Soo pleasiing 😍
Mad as a box of frogs!
The new strat!
One of my new favorite players right here.taste,control,and chops for days.listen.
I almost bought the heavy water but with my looper I bought the peacekeeper… all the thorpy pedals are built like a tank and have stellar tone 👍
Sounds ACE
You and Danish Pete demoing the Dane and Heavy Water (The Buck ;). Do it!
Good gracious my dude
Damn cool
Nice jam. Those strings were sweating my man. Good stuff.
Thorpy FX = awesomeness
I love the P90 Yamaha you sometimes use. I almost bought one awhile ago before I saw you playing it. Gonna check it out again. I usually buy Specials and Jrs. Youre a great player
You are such a soulful player the pedal is inconsequential!
6:23 that snap 😍
The pedal is great, really accentuates the sound of the guitar rather than buries it! Also... when you play you ride the wave of tone the guitar has and that's why you are so great to listen to.... another friday guitar fix... thanks Chris!
Wow! I just pluged in HW in front of the helix... Im SMASHED! how this thing performs :O
Can't wait when i will rig it up with suhr pt15
Looks like Im new Thorpy fanatic ;)
Is this the same as the Dane in as much the Boost comes before the drive (or is it the other way around?)
Beautiful tone and playing with and without the pedal on! Mind me asking what was used for reverb in the ending bit?
Cheers man! Just the usual spring reverb from Guitar Rig. I think a subtle bit of compression on the master track probably accentuated it though 🙂
Dude I could watch you play bold as love all day and never stop loving it. Do a walkthrough if those are allowed by the censorship tech lords.
So I guess it's back to Dan to rearrange your board to squeeze this one in? Sounding awesome mate.
Damn. Such 'liquid' playing!
Yeah that boost kinda Dumble/RF in a box Good stuff AND add a Ge circuit on top 😂 I'm using a G/S boost myself Texas Ranger Excellent
👍🔥
Nobody embodies the concept of “all tone is in the fingers” like Chris!
Great sounding pedal!!!
Also nice vintera strat. Which model did you get, 50s std or modified?
I have played them recently (strats and teles) and the whole range is great.
I couldn’t decide which was best for me so walked away with none :(
Cheers! It’s the 50s Standard in White Blonde. It’s a bloody great guitar 👌🏻
Nice...
... just where on your lovely double decker pedal board is that going to fit though?
I’m building a third tier! 😂
I just imagine to play some Clearwater Creedence Revival or Dire Straits stuff through this pedal. Would be nice to have for long winter evenings when Covid lockdown is back.
Hey @Chris Buck, sorry I missed it but what exactly was the clean tone (guitar/amp or amp modeller on a particular model)?
So there's no level control for either side? Just gain?
Thorpy pedals are great ... got me a Peacekeeper...
Just a general comment: I've increasingly become aware of how certain boosts and ODs marry much better with different pickup types than others. Indeed, with some combinations, a marriage made in heaven.
Amps as well
What amp were you running into, for this video? :)
Wow, sounds fantastic!! In the interest of minutiae what pick are you using? Thanks
Chris Benington Haha! It’s an Ernie Ball 1.5mm Everlast 🙂
@@ChrisBuckGuitar thanks 👍
Great video Chris. Amazed your improv and vocabulary. I think that progression is E/F#7/A? If so, my stupid brain says that if doesn't understand. Would you look at it as first 2 chords are the IV & V of B? Then the A is separate?
I would analyze it as 1 (tonic), 2 dom7, then 4. The 2 dominant 7 (aka "5 of 5") could resolve to 5, but instead goes to 4 (subdominant). 2 dom 7 slides really nicely into the 4 chord because it has shared notes/chord tones and the non-shared chord tones are only a semitone away. (ie. F#7 contains F# A# C# E. A contains A, C# and E, so just one note has to change from the 2 dom7 to make the 4 chord .)
@@RossMacdonaldBass Thanks for sharing that Ross. So you think in E but sharpen the A over the 2 chord. I'll see how that feels.
Sounds so much better then a helix
Wow.....
So your new pedal board is obsolete already? :) To be fair that does sound very pretty. Good luck in Glasgow tonight.
Watch check 👀
I want this pedal and i dont even play guitar, the sound is so sexy and calming
That's often the attraction of boost pedals. They're like the perfect cocktail, adding just the right glow to the mood of the moment.
I need tabs for everything in this video!! :o)
Hello Chris, can you do a ThorpyFX Boneyard demo pls my bro? TIA.
Oooh nice! Is that a new Strat by any chance???????? :-) \m/QQ\m/
LOL ,, Madder than a box of frogs ,, lol , iv not heard that 1, thats great .
As an American, I never understand half of what I hear coming from Brit guitarists. ;-)
As mad as a bag of badgers(just don’t tell Brian May)😂
"relatively sterile clean tone of the strat..." ~~proceeds to play beautiful amazing clean tone~~
Bloody hell that pedal sounds immense buddy 😮
lee evans seriously does
BigSh00ts I thought the same lol. Many wouldn’t believe it’s Guitar Rig.
I thought the same!?! Before and after both sounded special… great gear won’t let you down…
Is that the vintera 50 strat? 😳
Domenico Lanzo You got it 👌🏻
Just got one of those
Spent this morning putting a fourth spring and 10s on😎🎸🎵🔊
Great playing very Mateus Asato-ish at times
Yes, it sounds great.
But, it strikes me as unusual that where the demand was for the Boost side of The Dane in a small enclosure, what was supplied was the Boost circuit along with a Ge overdrive no-one asked for, in a box only slightly smaller than that of The Dane.
This might have been an opportunity to move into the micro-pedal market, with two products released at the same time with the advice that they sound great together; then charge £125 for each. You've given the people what they want, and if they buy both pedals, you've charged them the same as a Dane.
Otherwise £190 is a lot of money for a pedal, particularly if it includes an overdrive circuit you weren't particularly looking for.
HI thanks for the comment and interest. Ok, ill try and explain the rational here. All of my pedals are hand-wired and handbuilt by a very small team in the UK. Despite the relatively small size of my company I chose to have a bespoke enclosure design and I have two fundamental sizes at the moment. One was designed for more complex double pedals (DANE, VETERAN, DEEP OGGIN and future designs etc). The other was designed for single pedals. The Heavy Water enclosure is 65mm wide whilst the double sized one is 100mm wide. The investment required to make a mini pedal in a custom enclosure would be high especially considering that having thought it through it wouldn't save any space as even the small mini hammond enclosures with side jacks take up 65mm of width on a pedalboard. My single sized enclosures have top mounted jacks and as such you can fit more on a board width wise. Now why did i put the second boost in there? Because it sounds awesome on its own, killer when stacked and essentially adds 2 extra channels to your valve amp, whether it was asked for or not, I'd rather deliver more functionality when I can, especially when i knew the enclosure didn't need to change. so here is a two in one pedal in a small enclosure..... try it I'm sure it'll make sense when you do.
@@thorpyfx2679 Thanks for your response. I can certainly understand your rationale and the pedal definitely sounds killer.
All in the fingers. Man those fingers!
If that were the case, don't think go through the trouble to post a video about a pedal that he waited months for.
Chris plays so tasty using any pedal that it doesn’t make sense to buy something particular to get his sound. That’s the problem. For me. First of all I have to understand how to use my heart and fingers. A pedal is the last thing. Unfortunately for Thorpy, Analog man, Origin effects and others.
Rich and fullfilling ! But, as with all of Your demos, it's not the gear that creates tones ....
I always get so absorbed with how your mouth speaks sideways, confuses and fascinates
Hamburger pickups?
Great pedal, great playing, but why that name?
This demo showcases some good tones, but misses the mark overall. Switching guitars between playing each side of the boost ruins that comparison. Also, by never playing both sides together, much of the capabilities are completely absent.
9 people have no soul.
Guitar players who play single coil pickups always try to make their thin tinny sounding guitars sound thicker. Get a Gibson. Then you won’t have to buy $1,000 in pedals and be done with it.
TheseusTitan I don’t know where to start with that comment...
And then you can sound exactly like the other million wankers who play a Gibson. We prefer an individual sound here in Fenderland :)
@@adrianmiller1971 If you like that thin, tinny sound. Then why find pedals to change the sound if you like it so much?
@@TheseusTitan The word youre lookign for is not change but enhance, or to impart extra charatcer or individuality. But you remain ignorant and in samey samey humbucker land....
@@adrianmiller1971 Gee, what are you so up in arms about? You Fender lovers are the ones who insist on not enhancing but literally changing the sound of your guitar. Inevitably, you always want it to sound “THICKER” like a Gibson (instead of the thin tinny sound you get from a Fender). Thus my suggestion.
