Man, that opening piece was really good. It's quite fun watching you play guitar. Definitely one of my all-time fav's on this YT journey. As well, I totally appreciate all of the work you put into making your videos. A class act all around.
Wow, I'm very impressed with the amount of range the EQ has in that module. You can really sculpt your tone to fit whatever you need. Very cool demo Pete.
I swear Pete, you need to teach a master class series on song writing. Every week you compose a killer new track based on a tone/pedal. Endless well of creativity. I freaking love this channel.
This is my personal favorite of the Synergy modules. Fat, but tight and aggressive without any mud with just a bit of Marshall peaking thru. THANX Pete
Fabulous, authentic Peavey sound. Excellent playing as usual. Especially liked the chunky settings. As Ola would say, "this thing can definitely chug!"
Glad to see PEAVEY getting Back on the Charts Again,, Got look into this Setup PETE, I like Rack Gear great for Studio Work 🎸 Great Jam As Usual! Where U hide all that Talent👍🤠🤘
3 in a row and the Peavy to. Dave was just bashing Peavy on the last tone talk!! GET OUT AND YOU ARE FIRED!! Love you brother and have a blessed day !!
I like this unit! A lot of times module's have a bit of muddiness in the " chunky " sound for me. This is really clear and cleans up really well for a full rounded tone.
Superb video, I definitely want that module! Great job Synergy/Peavy! Pete, just as much as I watch your videos for the reviews I also watch your videos when I need to get out of a songwriting block cause your music is so inspiring. Amazing job!
Pete I really enjoy your video's and product reviews. Having said that I think you could make anything sound great. Even a piece of junk pedal or modeling amp. Thanks for your demos. The only problem I have with it.. You make me wanna buy everything 😁 Keep rocking sir
I don't much care about pedals and such, I love listening to the wee tunes you come up with. Since Paganini didn't use a klon I've decided not to either. 😂😂 Great show. 🏴👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate.
Thanks for the demo. Love that Music Man, I don't usually see it in your other videos. Reason why it might chug that well is because it's solid state. When is The Australian tour Pete?
I love when you rip Brother! I guess this is the offering you could not disclose on the live stream? I would hope you would get hired on a hard rock gig as I recognize your heart still has teeth. We need that to be expressed more often by veteran rockers! Keep Doing That Voodoo That You Do!
I love the green channel, especially for metal! Slap an SD1 in front, pushes it more into Marshally territory. Red Channel works better for passives imo, given how compressed it already is.
Interesting that they didn't add some kind of "cold bias" switch to simulate the cold/fixed bias of real amp's power section. It would be less thick and have a layer of that signature 5150 fizz on top.
Hi Pete! Another awesome recording! I love that rhythm guitar at the beginning! What do you use to create your drum sounds? Thanks for your time! Rock on dude! 🎸
Hi Pete! I’ve really been impressed with what I’ve heard from these Synergy modules and considering going that route, but I currently have a Matrix 1000FX power amp, which is obviously SS and was wondering what your thoughts are on running these modules through that amp rather than having to invest in their 50/50 tube PA, which is much heavier. Is there going to be THAT much of a difference being that these are tube pre’s? Hope to hear from ya and get your thoughts since you’ve had hands on experience with both. Thanks!!
Hey Mr. Thorn why did you go with the black headstock? I would think the natural Rosewood would be great, or the Red of the body might be pretty cool too. Nice commentary on the 6505.
Well, originally, my signature guitar came in two colors - black and gold. Black worked well with black obviously and gold looked cool with black because it kind of reminded me of 57 gold top but then we just decided to keep it consistent, make all my guitars have a black headstock.
@@PeteThorn Thanks for the reply. I guess my tastes run to more natural wood tones when I can get them. With you as an example of what your guitar sounds like Suhr should make a lot of money. Would love to see you in person in concert. All the best to you
It would have been cool if synergy made a cheaper syn 2 rack casing. That alone is the price of two modals. More so if you planned to use it in a home studio.. cool wee amps but I would rather have a clean, edge of break up and rocky pre amp thus the desire for two... but the syn2 prices me well out.
Pete, what a great music intro, I know it varies, and it depends from week to week, but for this one, how long did it take you to write then record the intro?
This one, did it over two days. Usually I write and record most of the song in one day, and then I might play the solos on the second day and finish the talking parts/edit the video on day 2 as well.
@@PeteThorn You are right, Pete..I completely forgot about that. Whats funny is i actually own a small device by the amp maker of the 5150(james Browne) called a depth finder. It replicates the resonance circuit in a 5150 and Is half the size of a small mxr pedal and goes in the effects loop of any amp. Takes a thin amp into as fat as a 5150. There’s a second knob that lets you adjust the presence as well. Its by amptweaker and called a depth finder. Impossible to find these days,but it’s amazing. I use it on thinner sounding Marshalls for more bottom end.
I've never understood the "crunch/lead" designation of channels or modes in amps. To me it feels like everyone who wants to play metal or higher gain tones just plays "lead". And in many amps the "crunch" can actually sound kinda neutered in terms of punch. Not this one, but that's been often my experience. Like they often lack juice, I might like the clean channel with boost mode/pedal much more than the "crunch" channel. I can probably understand the idea that for lead you might want more distortion for compression and sustain (I often like to turn distortion down for leads to prevent the lead from sounding a bit dead and less like rusty nails and more like that blooming middly sweetness that is the trademark of klon type of boxes). This is my unrelated two cents that got sparked by the video. But I have to repeat, the 6505 module didn't suffer from that, the Unhcained sounded just the right way in the crunch mode.
Micheal Neilsen. Pete Thorn John Browne. Fluff or Flubb Ryan bruce Leon Todd Jamie Slays Jeff Loomis Kyle Bull Mendel Bj De lij All NINE videos drop within hours. All follow a similar script. Not hatin' just sayin. Synergy is getting close to Neural in paid for marketing.
I think it's time for another album. Pete, your stuff is great
Thank u!
I agree with this.
Indeed
I Come here for Pete's Writing..oh he is demoing something 😮
That opener sounded incredible. Nice job, Pete.
Man, that opening piece was really good. It's quite fun watching you play guitar. Definitely one of my all-time fav's on this YT journey. As well, I totally appreciate all of the work you put into making your videos. A class act all around.
Thanks a ton!
Wow, I'm very impressed with the amount of range the EQ has in that module. You can really sculpt your tone to fit whatever you need. Very cool demo Pete.
It has been years and every time I watch your reviews you have a golden intro song! Keep up your great work, Mr. Thorn!
Thanks!
I swear Pete, you need to teach a master class series on song writing. Every week you compose a killer new track based on a tone/pedal. Endless well of creativity. I freaking love this channel.
Thanks!! One of these days I’ll join a band
Your playing is always stellar.
That is an exquisite EBMM EVH, Pete. Didn’t know you have one. Love it!
I've seen a few of your amp demos and this is the best time and best song you've done. I love it.
This is my personal favorite of the Synergy modules. Fat, but tight and aggressive without any mud with just a bit of Marshall peaking thru. THANX Pete
Sound is excellent. Brother Pete killing it
I like the way when your playing you seem to swing at a couple of bad pitches and then connect with the strings. Another fine demo!
Fabulous, authentic Peavey sound. Excellent playing as usual. Especially liked the chunky settings. As Ola would say, "this thing can definitely chug!"
5:34 Right there. That’s what I first noticed in ‘92 when I plugged into one at the store. It was an easy sell. I still have it. 😀
I love listening to any of your demos for presenting new products. I love your harmonic progressions and your solo melodies that can "sing".
Glad to see PEAVEY getting Back on the Charts Again,, Got look into this Setup PETE, I like Rack Gear great for Studio Work 🎸 Great Jam As Usual! Where U hide all that Talent👍🤠🤘
Wow that sounds great - all the gain you need and the tone are very versatile
I have a lot of TH-camrs that have the Synergy 6505 module in my feed today, but I choose to watch Pete Thorn. He's just the best!
This video sounded great Pete! Great playing!
3 in a row and the Peavy to. Dave was just bashing Peavy on the last tone talk!! GET OUT AND YOU ARE FIRED!! Love you brother and have a blessed day !!
Yeah thats pretty solid playing Pete. Good job man.
I like this unit! A lot of times module's have a bit of muddiness in the " chunky " sound for me. This is really clear and cleans up really well for a full rounded tone.
Those Music Man EVH/Axis have such a distinctive and focused sound. Love mine!
Superb video, I definitely want that module! Great job Synergy/Peavy!
Pete, just as much as I watch your videos for the reviews I also watch your videos when I need to get out of a songwriting block cause your music is so inspiring. Amazing job!
Thank u!!
Get recording, Pete! You are on fire!
A master of his craft. ❤
Everybody else makes this unit sound like...well, ya know.. THIS sounds awesome, thanks again, Pete, for letting another great preamp "breathe".
Pete I really enjoy your video's and product reviews. Having said that I think you could make anything sound great. Even a piece of junk pedal or modeling amp. Thanks for your demos. The only problem I have with it.. You make me wanna buy everything 😁 Keep rocking sir
Man your intro/demo are just awesome !
Thank u!
That jam at the beginning was exquisite!
Thank u!
Love this demo
That was an awesome intro. Great video.
Love you Pete!! 😍
I don't much care about pedals and such, I love listening to the wee tunes you come up with. Since Paganini didn't use a klon I've decided not to either. 😂😂 Great show. 🏴👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate.
Great riffs, Pete!

Great jam. 🤘
Awesome opening tune!!!
Man I love your playing style🤘
Beautiful tone from the EVH Music Man. 🎉
Off topic...I was watching "this way up" video, by Brian Ray, and realized that the other guitarist is you! Great album!😅
Ah, these riffs & licks at the beginning...
That sounded great!
Awesome tone
I love when you rip Brother! I guess this is the offering you could not disclose on the live stream? I would hope you would get hired on a hard rock gig as I recognize your heart still has teeth. We need that to be expressed more often by veteran rockers! Keep Doing That Voodoo That You Do!
I really want to get a Synergy System. Love the concept. I want them to make more low gain/clean amps though.
Good stuff brother 🤘💪⚡️
I want too be just like you when I grow up. Seriously. I'm getting there
Sounds great!
Sounds excellent
Great review thanks
Cool jacket! Cool tones.
Very cool, thanks!
Thank u!
I love the green channel, especially for metal! Slap an SD1 in front, pushes it more into Marshally territory. Red Channel works better for passives imo, given how compressed it already is.
ooh i liked that soldano
nice EBBM ... got the same in Blue
I’m not into synergy but the 5150/6505 tone is my favorite one out there
G3 tour. Vai, Thorn, and Satch!
Sick Music Man EVH!
Oh man, I bet a tube screamer would sound amazing in front of this amp!
Interesting that they didn't add some kind of "cold bias" switch to simulate the cold/fixed bias of real amp's power section. It would be less thick and have a layer of that signature 5150 fizz on top.
Come on Pete, please give us that new album
Beauty!
Thanks Pete! Have you tried connecting right to your DAW? Can you do that with this?
Hi Pete! Another awesome recording! I love that rhythm guitar at the beginning! What do you use to create your drum sounds? Thanks for your time! Rock on dude! 🎸
Tá tocando muito Pete!
Just wondering where is the Presence and Depth control on your power amp?
Let's be honest, Pete has the ability to make everything sound exquisite, my only ability is making everything sound like boiled ass.
It's got tubes!
Wait. How do you monitor the camera video on your iphone? Need that!
Hey Pete, why do you prefer the suhr standard vs the modern for shredding the licks like you do?

bonsoir Pete, possible to have Somewhere your second album (II) in cd?!?!?! Better sound than mp3 .... Thanks Pete for your music 👍🙏♥️

Synergy stuff sounds good, no question...
But for me it's just too expensive!
Nice playing.
CHEERS.
Any 5150 variant amp/sim MUST have a RESONANCE knob!!
Oh yeah…Pete’s Da best!!!!
The resonance is on the power amp
@@PeteThorn
You are right, Pete..I completely forgot about that. Whats funny is i actually own a small device by the amp maker of the 5150(james Browne) called a depth finder.

So realistically, these mimics are close enough to fool any listener and most players? And are the differences enough to make a real differences?
Wowsy
👍
Ho… lee… crap… that module rips!!!
Sounds great!
Um, seems to make a big expensive tube amp seem completely unnecessary and just silly.
I think you sold me on the SLO instead lmao
I've had both, SLO rips your face off, 6505 sits back a bit more. Both can get the job done.😅
Wouldn’t it be nice if a real 5150 was that quiet? Even through a noise gate mine hisses like a snake.
👍👍👍
