I have just purchased my first Bose L1 Pro8. I was quite put off by some online videos suggesting there was a hissing noise problem with the speakers, others claimed that the plastic connectors on the columns were flimsy etc..... What I found was that with just the speaker column it was very sturdy, once I added the plastic extension there was a slight wobble at first but when I pushed it in properly that wobble decreased drasticly and does not worry me at all. Well as for his I can put this to rest now. Whether there was any cables pluged in or not this thing was dead silent....and I mean silent. The type of Digital silence, no noise at all. I am extremely happy with the unit, it is punchy in the bass very clear in treble and overall a very very good system for a solo performer with backing tracks and electric guitar with a Headrush pedal. I highly recommend. I am yet to play it at a gig but this thing is loud.
Thanks Pete as your channel was one of the very few that demoed it with electric guitar and backing tracks. Your video was the one that made my decision.
You won't find any system easier than gigging with Bose! Cheers Pete!!
I've used the older L1 many, many times - always sounded really good, and there is no easier system to lug around.
The BEST demo I’ve seen yet on this!
Thanks James!
I have been considering a portable pa but never found a convincing review on a specific one. You just made it easy for me to pull the trigger on this one.
Our soundman has three of these in various sizes/configurations. They all sound great. Good review Pete!
Pete, this is one of my favorite Bose Pro 8 videos... very helpful. Plus I loved your tasty guitar licks!
I own most all of the Bose systems...Just sold one of my Bose L1 Type II's and bought the new Bose L1 Pro16. Man does it sound great....My L1 Type II is just sitting my rehearsal room now...I am thinking about grabbing the Pro32 now. Don't hesitate these things blow every thing else away for Solo and Duo work. Great Video Pete....I run my HX Stomp via my XR18 to the Bose and it sounds almost as good as my FRFR Amplifire CLR powered cabinet.
Do ya still recommend them ?
Amazing work Pete, you're the best!! I'm going to have to pick one of these up now!
Thanks for yet another fantastic review, Pete Thorn. There are so many lessons in this video! I've said it before, but it bears repeating.
||:Pete Thorn doesn't just 'review' a product. He instructs, inspires, and sets a brilliant example of what a super hard-working musician can be.:||
Pete that Earthworks is showing up in an amazing way. I know they're expensive,......but the results speak for themselves. I am getting a true representation of your room even through the youtube. Not kidding it truly sounds great dude.
That was the best I've ever watched. Bloody well done!!
You nailed it. Thank you for the quality sound demo
And yes Pete......rested I pray you are and a new year ahead that may Bless you pal ....because you are our friend! Peace dude.
I used earlier models with the separate T1 Tonematch Mixer for over a decade. My rig was based around Line6 Variax/Pod XTL and Roland GR33 Guitar Synth combination. It was a perfect choice on tiny bar gigs for portability and FRFR output. Guitar synth pads sounded huge. No dedicated backline, monitors, or PA. No Tylenol and Guinness cocktails at 5AM. At one time my band owned 5 of them. Drummer was doing stereo with his Roland TD20 V drums.
Hey, that's a great demo video on a P.A. system Pete! Not an easy thing to demo, I'm sure, but damn, that Earthworks picked up a lot of the room and translated the sound well.
There's my fiddle bud!! My fav of your fleet! Merry Christmas to you Pete my brother.
Perfect demo vid, super cool and short. 👍🏻
i use the L1 when i go out to do shows! i like it
Your vids are always so informative. Thank you so much for doing this.
Thank you!
My wife has been using an older version for singing the last 10 years. Bloddy genious.....
Mine arrives today!
Pete, the thing is epic!
Nice HX Stomp tone.
Nice job Pete
"Maybe not too many more times" Zep reference?! I lol'd!
We used to use an older version (with an external MixingDesk), 1-2 acoustic guitars, 2-4 vocalists, sometimes a violin and/or a saxophone and sometimes even a little drumkit and it just worked. That thing paid itself several times ;)
Its perfect for Bars, churches, Birthday parties, weddings and other venues where you dont need lots of volume and the audience is somewhere between 20 and 100 people
For solo/duo performers there are also other really great things out there that dont bust the bank
For solo and duo what?
Always cool with you!!!
Thank you for the review. Very informative.
Seeing the gig bag and how the whole thing breaks down / sets up , would be cool. Great video either way.
Sorry yeah I wish I’d actually included that but in the video you can see the system broken down and basically there is one bag that the two long pieces slip in, and then another slipcover for the sub. That’s it
a beautiful piece of music , thanks for sharing. The system sounds great the acoustic electric guitars bass drums , impressive sound, Now I want something else , well ...
Merry Christmas Pete.
And to you!!! 🎄
loving the DT1770's man. I've got a pair too, killer headphones!!
They are really nice! Super comfortable as well
The only drawback is that so many venues are going out of business due to lock downs and that makes audiences difficult to find. Let's see what 2021 brings.
Tack!
Honestly, I watch your channel for the intros. ;)
At 8:28 sounded like vinnie Moore. Great playing guitar 🎸
Once again Pete Thorn composes a killer musical piece for a gear demo.
Hey thanks Leo!
Awesome guitar work!! Just sings away, had to listen a bunch of times.
Thank u!
8:57 Hello and Welcome to Moviefone 🤣
I use the Rpland BA330 works great and has more inputs.
Sounds great. I feel like the acoustics could have used a notch in that annoying piezo range [2kish?]. Just something to think about if you purchase this system. Sweep your frequencies on a DAW first to find out where the piezo brightness exists and notch it with an EQ in front of the channel strip on the Bose.
Nice tones bro.
Dang bro, I thought it was woodstove jajajaja
I had an L1 Model 2 for my Chapman Stick for several years. Sounded great and was convenient but in the end I sold it to go back to stereo. Still waiting for a Bose Stereo version...
those came out years ago...you just have to buy two : )...oh and the F1 is meant to be stereo.
That’s exactly what I’m doing...buying a second one. Kemper actually set up at NAMM using multiple Bose L2 systems and also their new kemper cone cabs. Another thing that I noticed about Bose L2, is that they work great together more so than just one. Two is the minimum for awesomeness and three is killer. $$$$
What effect pedal or processor you connect with the L1 can you please explain the process
Noticed you barely touched the stick at 1:31 and it started wobbling quite a bit....would you be nervous about this in a live situation? I had an L1M2B2 for two years..it was rock solid...hat's off to Bose because fans loved the sound but I always felt I needed more...sounded a bit compressed/thin. T8S (tonematch mixer) was great...I actually kept the mixer when I sold the L1...
I'm curious if you used any of the tonematch presets in the app? Also which input setting did you go with for the stomp? Off Mic or Line?
You mentioned setting up instruments to left and right. Does that give a slight stero image. Really enjoyed video thanks
Ok. In the next demo Pete will show us the new model of Thermomix... The Pleximix!! " Plexi sound for your kitchen" (come with a book with chords, rock riffs and recipes)
Ever since my purchase of the Bose Compact, I have been intrigued by the whole line array thing. I owned the Fender Expo, JBL Eon One, and Bose L1 Model 2 with two B1's and a B2. Already sold the Fender Expo, and now considering selling the Eon One and Model 2 and purchase the Bose Pro16. What pre amp pedal are you using in this video?
Hi Pete. Were these all recorded using the Flat setting or the guitar setting? I have a Bose S1 and with an electric bass live busking I prefer the guitar setting as Flat has too much bass.
Great review, Pete. Thanks! Do you find yourself wanting a mid control knob, or are you able to get a satisfying acoustic tone with just bass and treble controls?
Great question. I have the same one.
You're a wizard Pete always such great playing.
Had an L1.... it sounded amazing in the right settings but for pub style gigs this is not ideal. Smaller stages at loud volumes etc. it just didn't work. HUGELY practical in a lot of way but I've since gone back to my PRX 12's for gigs. More cables and setup but I know I can be in a small corner and pump out sound without having to struggle with feedback all night long. Normal setup is two Vox and a Maton.
Ya I think maybe it seems best suited to lower volume gigs, solo or duo performers, maybe not loud rock or blues full band situations! But that’s ok, plenty of situations where this would be a great choice.
@@PeteThorn I concur! Happy Holidays mate
Pete why are you not doing VO work?? I'd kill to have that speaking voice lol 😆
Sounding crispy with thems grandpa's guitars Pete. How does this sound in stereo with an Axe FX? Even the best FRFR cabs are quite beamy, and sound way off when you're not in the right spot.
This seems like it would work exceedingly well for home use in stereo with a top shelf modelling preamp. Set a couple up in the guitar den and have room filling non beamy guitar tone, plus a kick-ass music system for when the boys come over.
Hey Pete,
First off, you’re so freaking talented and skilled that it is both inspiring and defeating, lol. Quick question though: I am assuming that when you create your intros for your demos that you maintain the copyright on the music. Have you considered, or do you already have, a PT royalty-free library somewhere so that you can leverage your great tunes as another revenue stream? As a video producer, I can absolutely see purchasing some of your tracks for various vids I’ve done over the years. Just wondering if they’re available anywhere.
Thanks bud!
Logan
Logan- haven’t yet but would like to collaborate with a music library house to do this.
@@PeteThorn Pete...don't give your music away. It's fantastic! There's some crap deals out there for composers. Music libraries that offer all you can eat subscriptions for $29.95 a month (or thereabouts). How much is a composer gonna make from that after the library takes it cut? Check out musiclibraryreport.com/ for info for composers. I am a member there but need to re-subscribe. Trying to get your tunes signed is hard work!
@@PeteThorn i think you should protect your intellectual property
Pete Thorn That’s great news. I agree with Michael Chadwick as far as doing your research goes. I tend to use Pond5.com where you pay for each piece of music individually and the prices can vary quite a bit, which tells me the composers likely have something to do with setting those prices. It’s a high-quality library for music, photos, videos and I could certainly see your work fitting right in at that house, though there are of
course many others. Like Michael, I would avoid those that offer a subscription model such as epidemicsound.com and others. In any event, please be sure to let your subscribers know when your music becomes available somewhere and happy holidays to you!
Hi, would you recommend S1 pro with FM3, for home practise.
I am not a big fan of BOSE but these type designs are really cool.
Please have your hearing checked, then take another listen to anything BOSE
@@dangreving1094 disagree pal.
@Karl Sandin never heard of them.
@Karl Sandin hey thanks , always interested in checking out the new stuff, and will do it , providing we can ever play out again.
Can you plug an in ear monitor straight to the amp???
9:10 Sounds a bit like Pantera's 'The Sleep'
Hi there..what kind of looper do you have? If u don't mind.. :) let me know pls.. I wanna buy the same thing:)
Is the extension between the sub and the 8 drivers necessary? Or am I also able to connect the top drivers directly into the sub so to say? I'm planning on using it listening to music a lot as well while at home. But I'm not sure I'd like that tall set up at home all of the time. I know that "extension" bar are used for a good spread of the sound, but is it mandatory?
Not mandatory. You can plug in the tower that only has the speakers if you like.
Does this equipment support a bass?
King of Tone ☝️ strikes again.
Pete: I admit, I’ll never buy anything you demonstrate. I’m a 64 year old player of 48 years with a little Mesa 25 dual rectifier and a single creamback with 25 lovely ladies that sing for me on command. My gigging days are over. But, I love stopping by to watch you do your presentation thing and most of all, your proficient nimble phalanges dance upon assorted rose boards. It never gets old, so thanks. I look forward to each one.
Thanks man! I’m really just having fun writing tunes when I make these videos so I’m glad that’s what you’re here for!
Hey Pete . Cheers for the demo brother! Quick question (apologies if I missed it) ... what Tonematch preset did you use for the Line 6 Stomp ?
It was the instrument preset, Sounded good with the tone I dialed up on the stomp!
Have you seen all the extra Tonematch presets available ? There’s some specific ones for guitar modellers etc 👍
Hi Pete, love your vids! What do you think about running 2 Bose frfr systems with the kemper profiler with stereo pedals, along with 2 cabs of dry or two amp cabs with dry mono pedals for a massive wet dry dry wet?
Sounds like a lot to lug around!
@@PeteThorn I guess I should have added that it’s for at home entertainment. I’m looking to really Pink Floyd myself into another dimension....and for another $900 Bose Tower, it may be a better deal that buying to more amp cabs or 2 pedal amps....or two passive frfrs for the 600w kemper(which is a bit much power for my studio)....I’m ultimately just trying to use the gear that I have, because I’m going broke watching all these gear reviews.😎 and now you got me hooked on Suhr guitars and amps. That is definitely on my birthday wish list, May 4th is right around the corner.
Hi, Pete. Thanks for the demo. Question. Could you get a sense for how large a space/headcount one could cover with the L1 Pro8 in a gig context?
Why is no one explicitly answering this question? All the reviews say its great buy it! How many people in a bar setting can this cover? Shooting for 75-100 but would like some real world opinions.
@@lashram32 I've never liked the headcount idea. What's the diffrence between 100 and 120 of 50 and 75? If the crowd is drunk and screaming at each other then it will be difficult to get the sound louder then 35 people but if the crowd is 200 deep in a quit restaurant then its no problem. I think you just have to try it at the loudest place you usually perform at and then judge it from there. point source speakers are designed to mow over a crowd at loud volumes. Small line arrays are made to provide extreme hifi clarity and super wide dispersion just above crowd level and not much more.
Can you play a guitar through the 3rd channel.... allowing you to have to vocal channels and a guitar?
I think so yes.
Hello Pete! Great video! Can I use that system with a Helix or a Headrush?
Sure!
I used with helix in this vid
Great demo Pete! Tone wise how would you compare this to the Atomic CLR?
Well I’d have to A/B, it’s such a different setup.
@@PeteThorn I see your point! I was thinking of this in the context of a modeling guitar monitor.
Wobbling problems with the column. 3 inch sway no matter how hard you push down on it.
Ok did I miss something, how come the intro sounds like it is in stereo, or is that just two mono channels recorded to TH-cam?
I panned the two acoustic guitars left and right. The other tracks are in mono up the middle
@@PeteThorn Thanks Pete for explaining that. Just shows one doesn't need to do much in order to fool the ear into hearing stereo.
I just come here for the playing.
And I do appreciate you being here! Thank you

Bose is nice just a bit pricey @ 1200 bucks ea.
BUT! The Voice Limiter Will Always Control The Way You Sing😞. That’s The Only Drawback. When your in the middle of your favorite song it kicks in and drops everything about 20% DB. Firmware Bose Please!
L1 compact is better
