First I want to say that Pete Thorn videos are the best on many levels. Regarding your Guitar Rig 6, I only have the light version that came with Komplete free. It only has one high gain amp but paired with the pro cabs you can achieve pretty realistic sounds that actually feel good playing them. I was actually surprised. I always read comments from people dissing these softwares and I have to wonder if they actually bother to learn how to use them starting with proper gain staging etc. I also have Amplitude 4 Max, Waves PRS Supermodels, Waves GTR 3.5, and Studio Devil Amp Pro. They all have their pros and cons and they can all be made to sound great, or made to sound real bad. I often see people making TH-cam videos with most expensive guitars combined with some of the most expensive boutique amps, and yet they sound like garbage. True Pete Thorn can make anything sound good, but not just because he's a phenomenal musician, much of it has to do with the fact that he learns the gear he plays around with, and knows how to make things sound good. He knows how to tweak to get great sound. That is as important as learning to shred.
I did that but got the rude awakening that if MIDI program change works at all, they buried the controls. They aren’t intuitively obvious or easily discoverable. I’m worried they have this amazing piece of software that’s perfect for the studio but worthless live! Many of the patches are better than my favorites from GR5, but if I can’t replicate it easily on stage, it’s all fairy dust.
Been watching your videos on here for ages and i gotta say in this video, your lead playing absolutely blew me away! amazing tones and amazing playing as always man! keep up the great content Mr.Thorn!!!
You can check out Pete's presets in the demo. You can load your own IRs using the Reflektor reverb component; it loads all IRs, reverb and cab sims, etc. It comes with OwnHammer and 3 Sigma Audio IRs built into the new matched cabs, and Control Room Pro uses Redwirez IRs. For old GR5 (and new GR6) users it has all the old modules standard, for free; Reflektor, Rammfire, and all of the Solid, VC, RC, and Traktor, series', etc.
Yes! I loaded some 3 Sigma Audio IRs for several acoustic guitars not really sure it would work. It does a decent job but I’m sure there’s more to it than what I did. They even have an IR of Segovia’s ‘37(?) Cordoba Houser.
Pete Thorn has his own tone, which is hard to develop. You can tell Pete likes it cause he sticks with it. His tone is consistent, so when ya hear a song playing somewhere, and you're rocking out, a ripping lead fills the air, you'll say to yourself, that's Pete Thorn. He has crisp-ripping leads that are just the right speed for my taste, and it doesn't sound like spaghetti.
Pete , you never fail to impress us with your writing skills. Your music structure is so easy to listen to. Everything fits right in the pocket. You can make a trashcan sound good.
You're the coolest. I wasn't a fan of GR for years, and ended up buying BIAS bc of your tutorials. And I do like it. But I think I might be liking GR more than that after buying Komplete. It's come a LONG way.
Hi Pete, thank you for these excellent presets. I just upgraded to GR6Pro and stuck with your presets hahaha! Greetings from the Netherlands! I enjoyed your solo in the video of Paul Davids.
Decided to watch to hear what guitar rig has improved, but the main focus became enjoying the music. One thing I'd include is some screencapture of the UI, the front panels of the amp models and effects. Just to get a glimpse of if it's the same as before, if it's intuitive or pleasant to look at etc.
I've been using GR since v4 and am especially exited for GR6 now. Way cool Pete! I used the Tape Deck feature to capture cool jams and licks while messing around in GR. It was super useful.
I've toyed with the idea of going full Native Instruments Komplete for recording at home and this upgrade to Guitar Rig just may be the thing that pushes me into doing it. Would be nice to sell off some of my hardware and go a bit simpler.
The main clean melody part sounds like the clean parts of Steve Stevens in Billy Idol's Flesh For Fantasy! I always loved that clean sound, full but not muddy, articulate but not thin. Good job!
OK....Pete Thorn you are so talented it's getting more and more like you're getting better everyday!! Those runs were superb dude!!! Also can I go off topic for a special guy? You are definitely worthy. I just bought the new "PAW" amp from John at BadCat. You MUST MUST MUST....yea......try this amp. Trust on a whim. Bless you Pete and thank you for all you do.
Guitar Rig was my go to for recording guitar for a few years, but a few months ago started tracking with Strymon Iridium. I'm liking getting my tones "outside of the box" these days for a few reasons. Still use GR for bass though, sounds great. Pretty cool that they've included their standalone FX series like the Solid and Vintage compressors and EQ as GR 6 modules, those are great plugins that I use in my DAW all the time. Great demo tune as usual, the beginning especially, has kind of an '80s film noir soundtrack vibe.
Hi, very interesting video! Is there any information datasheet (or something like that) where a sort of matching is attempted between the GR6 effects and the real effects? For instance, if I wanted to get a sound as similar as possible to the MXR M300 reverb, the Boss super chorus CH-1, or the Wampler Tweed '57, which GR6 effect should I use?
Just remember folks. If you want to get this software to sound the way it should, make sure you get a decent audio interface that plays nice with guitars.
So the question - Is it better than Line 6 Helix Native? Seems like Native is the standard at this point. I actually have an NI guitar rig foot controller that I use to control Native when doing DAW based stuff. Just a few months back it believed GR 5 was it and NI abandoned it, so wonder what changed
I use a bunch of different things at this point. Just started using Butch Vig drums, and I am a long-time user of Superior 3 and EZdrummer2 and Steven Slate Drums

@@JajabarBangladesh the demo is free online. You get the full version for like a week or something (Ezdrummer). Highly reccommended. Keep in mind if you purchase, you will end up wanting some expansion packs (there are many), so factor that into your budget. Cheers!
What other equipment do i need to run this software with? Pete , give us all a list of what we need on how to use this and come out through an amp or PA system??? How much computer power do i need???
You can use it as a stand-alone program. So if you were just jamming at home- bare minimum, you would need a good computer and a set of powered studio monitors. An interface would be good as well, and you could run out through a clean power amp and speakers if you wanted to, full range or you could disable the cabinet simulation and then run through guitar cabinets
I'll never get tired of that 80's clean comp/chorus + #2 strat position sound.
Word. :)
Yep Yep Yep
Same.
Same here
I really appreciate the amount of work you put into your production. I can tell you're a workaholic.

I have watched a ton of these. This is by far my favorite writing on a track. Excellent vibe.
Thanks!
Thanks Pete... I just rushed over to the NI website and updated my GR Pro 5 to 6. Now I can use your awesome presets, cheers (from Australia).

this is two years late. started using guitar pro. love your "pt fire breather lead" its my favorite!!! thanks

Not fair. Pete makes everything sound good. Find someone else :)

@@PeteThorn Ready for your next album. Really appreciated my signed copy of Pete Thorn II
Holy moly Pete. That intro was sick!!!
Friggin love that riff peter does right after the neck pu lead stuff! as soon as he kicks on the bridge pu he does it!
If those chops came packaged with it, I'd sell a kidney for it. You're the man Pete. Sounds great as usual.
Sounds great! Would be nice if you could show closeup view of the software as you are going through stuff. 😁
You're the coolest. I wasn't a fan of GR for years, and ended up buying BIAS bc of your tutorials. And I do like it. But I think I might be liking GR more than that after buying Komplete. It's come a LONG way.
You can always tell when someone is enjoying the sounds.
Wow you have a lot of skills. Really enjoyed the melodies and presets for GR6P. Thanks Pete.
Pete makes anything sound incredible...
Pete has better Chops than Cobra Kai , that Boss Dimension sound at 0:17 is bliss.
Hair looks more rock n roll again now 🤟🏼🕶🤟🏼🎸🍺🍺🍺🍺
Amazing playing, Pete!
Always a joy to listen!
Sounds great! Looking forward to the next killer NI sale to upgrade.
Great detail, thanks Pete.
What a good inspiration Pete, I just bought it and it's fantastic! Thanks for the presets cheers!
Damn pete! That sounds amazing. Ive been debating buying Guitar Rig 6, but after hearing your tones im sold
Hi Pete, thank you for these excellent presets. I just upgraded to GR6Pro and stuck with your presets hahaha! Greetings from the Netherlands! I enjoyed your solo in the video of Paul Davids.
That distorted bass sound is so creamy dirty - Love it. You have good ears Pete! Thanks, got the amp yesterday!
you kind of create my favorite preset in all of virtual amp i know
Just took a tune of mine and changed everything to your presets in GR6. PURE GOLD PETE!!!
that's awesome to hear!
Just discovered you Pete. But hell what a great promo for GR6. Nice switch from drum sounds. Thanks for the great music! Really inspirational. 🙏

You have the best demo tunes on youtube.........that slide at the end blew my mind
Thanks for watching and listening!
Amazing sound and emotional melodic guitar solo. Waiting for some solos from setup !
Saw your paranoid android tutorial from like 12 years recommended to me. Cool to see you’re still making content
Fantastic! Thanks a bunch Pete, you rock! 🙌
I can only say I trust my ears....and they are smiling! Thanks Pete!! You have influenced me beiyond my words
Nice sounds there Pete!
Thanks!
Pete Thorn is the best on TH-cam Period. Such a Perfectionist 🎸 🤘🏽
Thanks for watching :)
This stuff sounds GREAT.
Hi Pete ... Thx for the presets....Fire Breather Alone is THE BOMB !!! Tip of the HAT
Loved it t clean sound Pete....gonna get me an upgrade huh...ohhh n t crunch too
I wondered who Pete Thron was. Hi Pete , I've lready used 'ambient wash' witha few tweaks. . . very nice preset . . .
I've been using GR since v4 and am especially exited for GR6 now. Way cool Pete!
I used the Tape Deck feature to capture cool jams and licks while messing around in GR. It was super useful.
so freaking effortless !!!
The clean chicago verb mod preset works great for clean Alex Lifeson tones
Did I mention how amazing you are Pete Thorn?!?
We lost the king today, but you cheered me right up with your awesome playing and amazing
Uh...glitch, amazing and feel for the “groove “
Thank u Robert 🙏
Bass Invader!...ha... who dreams this stuff up. Love it... Some really great tonetastic tunes on the demo Pete.
When the sound inspared a song
Everything runs well... With Pete 👌
I've toyed with the idea of going full Native Instruments Komplete for recording at home and this upgrade to Guitar Rig just may be the thing that pushes me into doing it. Would be nice to sell off some of my hardware and go a bit simpler.
Gonna do the same
how does it compare with mercurial/line 6 helix native/stl tones amp sims?
I think that the new amp sims included are just as good. The old stuff is still pretty bad at high gain but is great for low to medium gain.
Super playing Pete, Love the opening tune
Thank u!!
@@PeteThorn On my third listen now!
that slide omg...that tickled well
Sound very cool!
The main clean melody part sounds like the clean parts of Steve Stevens in Billy Idol's Flesh For Fantasy! I always loved that clean sound, full but not muddy, articulate but not thin. Good job!
Big influence on me, for sure...
It really does 🤟🏼🕶🤟🏼🎸🍺🍺🍺🍺

Thanks for a good video🤙🏻, really liked the review
Amazing brother..
Damn Pete. Amazing.
Great video
What frfr speakers do you recommend for plug ins in the $300 to $400 price range without needing a lot of volume?

Bravo!
This is great
Where are You looking at?
Killer as allways!
Good stuff any tabs for this?
Gr8 job, thx
Curious... can you run multiple instances of this, so you can virtually re-amp all your tones? Using a new mac mini...
Awesome pete
no worries, even the krrack sux, Native instruments keeps changing their formats, making presets between versions in compatible.
This has really made me consider Guitar Rig 6. As always, just loved the demo track Pete.
So the question - Is it better than Line 6 Helix Native? Seems like Native is the standard at this point. I actually have an NI guitar rig foot controller that I use to control Native when doing DAW based stuff. Just a few months back it believed GR 5 was it and NI abandoned it, so wonder what changed
a link to your presets for gr5 pro you mentioned would be good.
You have to wonder what ding dong clicks dislike? Killer stuff Pete. Greetings from Calgary man.
love it
Always glad to see the 335 make an appearance.
hey Pete , have you got a foot controller to work with gr6 pro ?. rig control 3 isn't supported.
Wonderful!!! It always surprises me what do you use to get drums? If you could explain. Thank you.
I use a bunch of different things at this point. Just started using Butch Vig drums, and I am a long-time user of Superior 3 and EZdrummer2 and Steven Slate Drums

so where are the Pete thorn presets to download yo?
Awesome news. I was just recording a song last night using Guitar Rig 5. Time for an update.
Pretty cool 🎸
so are the presets included in the soft ??
Do these presets come with Pete's hands?
SUPER!!!
With 2 limiters in one sound even carrot can sounds good thou.
Some gorgeous tones there! Guess I need to get GR...
NI needs to catch up and develop a amp and cab capture module so we can all share our amp models and IR over the cloud
GR6 vs Helix Native?

that clean chorus is EXACTLY like Van Halen 3 Water Dog track.
Reminds me of Robert Plants solo stuff with Robbie.
