Pete, the hundreds of hours you've spent with a guitar in your hands really shows in everything you play, you're an incredible guitarist. You write a piece for every pedal you review...how can you keep burning all these incredible song ideas on demo vids??? I hope the folks who hire you, and the folks watching these vids realize how much you put into them. cheers
Thanks so much! Doing the vids has been a great way to hone my writing/production chops, I've been able to improve in almost every area, even playing bass, drum programming, etc. so it's been great for me from a practice and learning perspective!
+Pete Thorn Pete, You have BY FAR the best demo channel on TH-cam. Your playing and songwriting are killer. I love that you don't just noddle some solos but actually explain and demonstrate the various controls and what to expect out of them. We can tell you've put a lot of time into learning how to use each piece of gear. Thanks! (And I'm enjoying the hell out of Guitar Nerd!)
+Shutup & Play - Guitar Tutorials Mr. Thorn is indeed a master of his craft and sets the standard for these types of demos. It's only fair to mention that Mr. Shutup & Play is no slouch in the tutorial category and easily makes my shortlist of guitar oriented YT channels.
Fantastic! I always get excited when I see a new Pete Thorn video in my subscription feed! Thanks for putting so much into these pedal demos and sharing them with us. They are a treat!
You know....love Pete Thorn , watched lots of videos and reviews and he always sounds great but his lead tone with this pedal is just off the charts!! Great job Pete!! Keep rockin!!!
Hey brother, I've listened to many of your demos. You're a first rate player and a class act to the highest order. These guys must flip at the prospect of having you showcasing their products. Always a total joy watching you play. Your love for the instrument shows in every way, and in every note you play. Continued success to you in everything you do.... Thanks.
Another great demo...thanks Pete! So true what you said about Andy...great player, and an even better dude... He and I played together in a B-52s tribute band back in our college days... The group was called Mary & The Potato Heads... Good Times!
Just got this pedal...all I can say is WOW. The folks at JHS knocked it out of the park. I've owned gaggles of JCM type pedals and this by far the best one I've ever had. Super clear and full of balls. Sounds amazing with both my Mesa Lonestar & Friedman Dirty Shirley. Great demo Pete, keep 'em coming!
Hi, how do you compare the dirt sounds you get from the pedal from the amps you mentioned? Similar?, not quite the quality?...better!? (That i doubt). Thanx in advance!
Well, I'm great full to Andy Timmons for coming up with this pedal. Even more greatful to Pete Thorn for demoing it! Pulled the trigger and got myself one, fantastic pedal and it sounds like it does in the video!
ben acosta would you consider this a good brown sound pedal? I love a nice distortion that gets great harmonics but I hate pedals or amps that are too much gain or buzzy.
This pedal is simply amazing, it does a variety of sounds and sounds as good as the demos of it. I don't normally like distortion / drive pedals, I'm more of get the crunch from the amp and boost with a tubescreamer kinda guy. I could not find one bad sound from this pedal.
Pete, you did an awesome job! I really wanted to get this pedal because I'm such an AT fan, but you showed just how much variation in sound it can have and now I REALLY want one :) Thanks for demoing this pedal!
As the owner of an old 4 hole Marshall, this pedal in the 100 watt mode comes closest to the feel and sound of my amp cranked to 8. The Morning Glory placed in front of the AT set extremely low gain with the hi cut off adds the wild top end for some of the gnarlier Marshall sounds. The extra compression it has on tap simulates the feeling of playing extremely loud. People often overlook that gain needs to decrease as volume increases to keep a similar feel/tone across varying volume levels. Which is also why many loud amp users are big time volume knob riders, and many of those amps sound better with guitar vol backed off a touch. While old Marshalls aren't crazy high gain like this pedal has on tap, playing at or above 120 dB has the feel of a lot more gain than it is. At least with regards to sustain and note fullness.
Melodic Sensibility....what a great phrase .. A concept that Frank could have noodled with... BTW..I really like the way you musically express yourself...your channel is a breath of fresh air
When I saw that you were on the clean channel, I couldn't believe it. That pedal sounds very natural. That being said, I own a PT100, and it takes pedals better than any amp I've played before. So kudos, not only on the design of this pedal, but also to Pete and John Suhr on the amp design.
Holy shit, between Pete Thorn and Andy Timmons you kind of have this halo of greatness surrounding this thing. I still think the AC might sound better to my ears, but I really like the knobs and power wattage settings... I might need to get both and then sell one...
One of THE baddest guitar players in the world, imho. And absolutely the best guy doing demos on youtube. Your riffs stay MELODIC and I think its harder to stay melodic the more notes you use.. but you do it tastefully. SWEET. Trying hard to decide between the AT version and the V3 version... so Pete, what do you think are the pros and cons and your choice IF you had to choose only one?
+Blues Harp Not Pete obviously ;), but I've heard a ton of demos of both and got the AT for myself and I'm very happy with my choice. It's very easy to dial in a good tone with the AT and it's a lot more versatile than the AC v3 because of the mode switch. It covers a lot more gain variations from less gain, more crunchy and more headroom than the AC v3 to more gain, saturation and compression than the AC on the 25 Watt position. From what I understand, the 50 Watt position would be closest to the AC v3 aside from the tone control differences of course. So 100 W mode can get you in overdrive territory at low gain settings while 25 W mode gives you more gain than the AC without loosing any clarity or notes definition. It just rips. Hope this helps :)
Well Ive had the V3 and the AT and I absolutely love the AT better. The EQ on the V3 is voiced horribly. Ive noticed that it seems the AT in the 100 watt toggle setting has less of this unpleasant compression squeak in the treble range that I feel is less pedal like and more like actual tube compression. I felt that the 25 watt mode only made this unpleasant sound in the attack in the highs more prononced.. but hey, this is one guitar into one amp so its an arguable opinion based on little time experimenting. Ive only JUST got this pedal and I really wish I could compare the non-smd style board of the V2 that I used to own to this AT version.. but so far Im liking it. This video and the video from Andy Timmons himself sold me on giving it a try.
Incredible demo. I've seen a lot of your videos, but this one is something else. Nice to see someone really working hard to push the bill technically and tonally for the electric guitar. I look forward to hearing what you come up with in the near future!
Awesome demo as usual Pete! I now have one of those pedals and I absolutely love it. Best dist/od pedal I ever owned. BTW, the 2 EQ controls are LOW pass filters, not high pass. It preserves the bass response of your amp. I play my AT through the clean channel of a "Red Knobs" early 90s Fender Twin which is a massively loud amp with lots of low end and can be quite bright like many Fender amps (but not excessive). The AT sounds spectacular through it. The modes switch make it very versatile too covering a lot of gain and feel territory. But that pedal never gets muddy or harsh. JHS did a great job with this one!
I am concerned with this pedal de-emphasizing low notes (as is common with overdrive/distortion pedals such as the Tube Screamer). What is your experience? Thanks.
This pedal is not like a Tube Screamer at all. It doesn't de-emphasize low notes in my experience with it. Tube Screamer type pedals are made for that mid push that does affect the low end but not this pedal here. It's not a boost, it's a real distortion pedal. I run mine with the EQ knob at around 11 o'clock and the Air knob at around 1. Gain almost maxed and the switch on the 100 watts mode.
You said many great things about Andy Timmons, he is definitely amazing... but all those same words apply to you. Humble, hardworking and with killing fingers and tone... you are a force to be reckoned with in the guitar world!
Hey some of you folks below, Pete says it "mimics" watt differentials not actually creates them. Having said that I purchased a freaking Sick 30 volt over drive from Pete's channel and works great! This has three different voltages and sounds great! Have used it as my crunch sound through a super sonic twin for three years now. Keep trying to see if anything as good but have not yet so satisfied. I do have a Myriad of ODS and currently also use a KOT, Wampler P Plus and an Archer gold on my live board as well. Having said all that...... I just purchased a used AT from Chicago M Exchange this aft after mulling over and watching this video a number of times. I used a Distillery after speaking with Mr. Gill and Luke but ran out of room. It does work well for back line amps. So...... Thanks again Pete! I look forward to this experience and always a fan of yours and the P & T show. Thanks for making me spend yet more hard earned dough. Fellow Canuk JD
Wow! This is my favorite review! Properly explained and beautifully presented, great work Pete. I wanted a pedal like this, now I know which one to get.
Hey Pete. Great sounding pedal and great review. One thing, technically the filter is a low pass filter because it allows low frequencies to pass and filters high frequencies. A high pass filter is what you use to roll off the bottom end. And I can't believe you call yourself a hack. Your playing is beyond freaky. Respect.
581 likes an no dislikes. This really says something about how awesome this channel and of course Pete is. I have faith again in the Interwebs! This pedal sounds HUGE.
Rather than replying to all the messages that I agree with on this thread...wow....Pete, you really are fantastic. Your videos are fantastic, your playing is stellar, and hey like me you're Canadian eh! Keep doing what you are doing. I try to share your musical brilliance (Guitar Nerd is amazing btw) with as many guitar nerd friends as I can. Cheers from Ottawa, I'm a huge fan and supporter !!!!!
Hey Pete -all the way from the UK! Great demo man, tasty. 5:20 nice broken clean reference. Plus - choice Billy Gibbons drop in! I've been kickin a BB preamp Plus, but I'm converted. I met Andy and had a jam. Great guy. Inspirational player. Dig ya playin man>>>>>>
I'm happy to saw this amazing video. You are a Pro. Realy. And looks like a good guy by behave. And that guitar playing at the begining.. that was BEAUTIFUL! Big thank you man! :)
That intro's epic, man. Super clean. That's one of those things that I see and think, "yea...I could probably play that" but it would take me about a hundred takes. lol You did it in one shot...maybe not FIRST shot, but in one shot nonetheless. Rock on, Pete!!
Great demo as always. I would encourage anyone thinking of getting the @T to consider the MI Audio Super Crunchbox. The @T is pretty much a straight copy of it (the SCB has a low/high gain toggle in addition to the 3 compression modes). The SCB is also a lot cheaper.
Hi Pete, just curious about the Pickup's in your Suhr Guitar by that time. Were those already Thornbuckers / Prototypes or did you used something different? Just asking because those Pickups sound massive and I would like to give them a try, whatever model it is. Thank's already and all the best, Michael.
phenomenal informative video(s) big fan. Your playing is great, your commentary is spot on. Great job, the reason I want a 5150 pedal is because I saw your video on that.
You do him more than justice. You are a very skilled, melodic player. A real pleasure to listen to and I have been enjoying many of your videos these past days. You are also a skilled and talented salesperson for every product you demonstrate. You are believable precisely because you have all of the capabilities necessary to keep those coming to your TH-cam channel in great anticipation because you can musically hit the technology out of the ball park! Sincerely I must thank you for sharing your skills with your viewers.
Andy an old mate from school, and even though I may show a little prejudiced because of that ;) this pedal fucking rocks, I have scaled my board down to a chorus cs9 so I can run stereo a dd7 and the JHS @ and that's it and I freaking love it into any amp I run through, so I have a carry rig guitar this little pedal board and I'm happy I love that pedal, tone junkies will be happy
Rob Correll - I feel the same way! Pete is one of most amazing guitarists I have ever heard. His demos make me want to buy too many pedals! But I still come back for more listening time and time again ;-) But all joking aside Pete...thanks so much for all your amazing playing and demo videos :)
With the pedals you review like this one, are they pedals you've just tried out and really liked? What I mean is, in between these reviews, are there a bunch of pedals that you try and don't like for whatever reason (less 'amp-like' pedals, perhaps) and thus don't review? Good tones and playing as always, Pete!
I use an MXR Distortion III for my heavier guitartones. I have tried a lot of pedals that have more "cred" but still have not found one that works as well and allround as the MXR for plugging into a clean amp and that doesn't produce a lot of odd overtone interference with single coil pickups. I've seen Andy demo this pedal himself, but he's using an Ibanez guitar with a humbucker bridge pickup and some rail pickups in the other positions. Also in this demo by Pete, humbucker axes are used throughout. It would be nice to hear this pedal with a strat or a tele. If it passes that test, my MXR may be in danger of being retired to the bench.
You are amazing.... Again. Your playing simultaneously inspires me to want to play more AND makes me wanna quit playing guitar; pick up an accordion or something...Cause I'll never be able to play anywhere near as good as you! Oh ya Guitar Nerd is a great "Album". Keep up the great work man.

I just got this pedal in yesterday, the tones are mind-blowing! This is the BEST Drive channel I have ever played!
Pete deserves his own signature pedal too. Insane talent.
Now THIS is a demo… great playing and great equipment… this pedal sounds killer.
I swear, you're the best most versatile guitar player I have ever seen. Great video!
Thanks so much!! Check out Andy, he's super versatile and so good!!
This video alone sold me on this pedal. Had it for a few weeks now. Totally awesome
Fantastic! I always get excited when I see a new Pete Thorn video in my subscription feed! Thanks for putting so much into these pedal demos and sharing them with us. They are a treat!

Hey Pete, it's always my pleasure. You're very welcome...
I'm always happy to see when Pete puts out a new demo. It's like releasing a new track every time...oh yeah...the gear is cool too!
Best demo of that pedal on the tube. Just amazing Pete.
And.. wow. I think you're actually getting better, Pete. Nice clear drive on that pedal for sure!
Another great demo...thanks Pete! So true what you said about Andy...great player, and an even better dude... He and I played together in a B-52s tribute band back in our college days... The group was called Mary & The Potato Heads... Good Times!

Just bought this pedal. Most dynamic od I've played through. Love it!
Would love to see a Tim and Pete and Timmons episode!!
Great demo Pete. Arguably the most versatile and best sounding drive pedal currently on the market. It's expensive but definitely worth it.
Intro is yet another masterpiece!
Brilliant Pete
Thanks man!
Sir, you are a monument to great gear reviews, and I am always inspired by you. Thank you for every single one you do!
Great sounding pedal Pete! The opening salvo was killer man,perfect fit for that pedal. It was screaming! I haven't seen you have that fun in a while!

Love them both JHS AT and the Ramble marvel fx. How about a comparison and theyre differences Master Pete!

+Lymanization thanks much!!!
Great playing Pete.
I stopped after that intro........had to leave a comment before I continued. that was bad ass!!!!! :)
Awesome. Thank you Pete.
Oh man, great demo Pete! Just what I needed. Check out the new Fender Bassbreaker 15, this is a perfect complement to the amp
Your opening tune reminded me of Black Oak Arkansas - Jim Dandy. Cool pedal!
never mind the pedal, Pete you're awesome on the axe dude.
Awesome demo dude, I'm gonna have to go ahead and get one now...
I can't watch this guys demos. I want to buy everything. Sounds so good.
:)
Rob Correll - I feel the same way! Pete is one of most amazing guitarists I have ever heard. His demos make me want to buy too many pedals! But I still come back for more listening time and time again ;-)
But all joking aside Pete...thanks so much for all your amazing playing and demo videos :)
Pete,
Sou de Juiz de Fora - Brasil.
Excelente seus vídeos.
With the pedals you review like this one, are they pedals you've just tried out and really liked? What I mean is, in between these reviews, are there a bunch of pedals that you try and don't like for whatever reason (less 'amp-like' pedals, perhaps) and thus don't review? Good tones and playing as always, Pete!
I use an MXR Distortion III for my heavier guitartones. I have tried a lot of pedals that have more "cred" but still have not found one that works as well and allround as the MXR for plugging into a clean amp and that doesn't produce a lot of odd overtone interference with single coil pickups. I've seen Andy demo this pedal himself, but he's using an Ibanez guitar with a humbucker bridge pickup and some rail pickups in the other positions. Also in this demo by Pete, humbucker axes are used throughout. It would be nice to hear this pedal with a strat or a tele. If it passes that test, my MXR may be in danger of being retired to the bench.
Hands down the best player.
There are so much extraordinary players but Pete Is One of the best hands down!!
Pete and Andy are both kind of insanely good.
Awesome opening lick!
You are amazing.... Again. Your playing simultaneously inspires me to want to play more AND makes me wanna quit playing guitar; pick up an accordion or something...Cause I'll never be able to play anywhere near as good as you! Oh ya Guitar Nerd is a great "Album". Keep up the great work man.
