Bro, your humility is one of the huge reasons why so many people love and appreciate you. Unbelievable playing, and just a really humble, friendly guy! Keep it up man, you're an inspiration!
I own the Iron and love it! I can make it sound good with any guitar amp combo using the low cut, mix, tone. Like Shawn my favorite clipping position is the middle because it sounds more open than the other two.
Holy Fripp man! Wow! I've been trying to learn to play the first two minutes of this video all day and I'm not even close yet! Why you aren't on posters and kids lunchboxes is completely beyond me. Keep being awesome! I don't doubt that you will!
You are an absolutely fantastic player and a great pedal reviewer. Like how you try to always play the same licks when making tone changes to the pedals. Great job!
I bought one after watching this video. Love it. I’ve bought, sold, traded, a dozen midrange ODs but never got what I was looking for. This works right out of the box; everything centered sounds great. Works well with all my guitars and into a Boogie Mark. This one will be around awhile.
Shawn, love your playing and demos! You seem a humble and down to earth guy, which makes it even better. Keep doing it, congratulations and my best wishes to you
Shawn, I've been a huge fan since all the way back to your Vineyard / Violet Burning days. I'm pumped you're finally getting the Web presence I've been hoping you'd get for a long time.
Nice job Shawn- thanks for the demo. I just picked up a Pettyjohn Iron this weekend and am trying out the different tones. My amp is a super clean (Fender Blues Deluxe), and have been trying to get a subtle and articulate overdrive that doesn't muddy up on chords. I think this is going to do the trick. Guitar is a Fender Cabronita with TV Jones Brian Setzer pickups. Thanks!
Hey Thanks David. I'm out on the road with Carrie Underwood so I don't have my Torp in front of me to tell you exactly which one I IR I ended up on. I'm pretty sure its the Vintage Live ML 4x12.
Cheers. I have the torpedo and have been enjoying it a lot. Your videos blew me away with the tones in conjunction with the ownhammer IR's it made go check them out! Keep up the great work dude :)
1:49. Shawn, that was such a sweet run. You are a great and unique player. BTW I am very interested in the Petty John stuff, they seem to be of high quality.
Those are some coool note yer playin , the vibrato is alive!...... box sounds great "Perceived Gain" that's good phrasing ... Well done Demo Sir.. You a New Yorker? T-Shirt is
Hi Shaun, first things first, you have a phenomenal channel. I know you're busy with the Carrie Underwood stuff but I always love your demos when you have time. As a music industry hopeful you are a real inspiration. My question is this, how do you have your Torpedo Live set up? I am having real issues getting my Torpedo Studio to do what I want and when I put pedals in front of my amp it compresses way too much and just sounds digital and dry. Your sound retains so much clarity and character that you can really hear the different guitars and pedals doing their thing, could you share your setup details? Do the Ownhammer Impulses make a big difference over the standard cabs and mic's offered in the box? Is an IR different from what comes standard? Thank you so much for any attention you're able to give this question, it would mean a lot.
Hey Aidan, thanks for your question. I'm using the OwnHammer 412 MAR-CB V30-EN SS Live Vintage IR. I keep it totally flat. No EQ, No room verb, no extra mic models and no power amp modeling. The reason I started using the Torpedo was because I needed a direct load and IR box from my Suhr SH 100 for the Carrie Underwood gig as we were moving away from ISO boxes for cabinets. I was really impressed with how close it sounded to my 2x12 cab with Cele V30s and a Royer/57 set up and decided to start using it in my studio at home because the consistency was stellar! The one thing I try not to do is let my input level to the Torpedo creep much above -6 on the meter. Anything above that could get a bit digital sounding. Other than that it's the IR I mentioned. YES THE OWNHAMMER IMPULSES MAKE A DIFFERENCE OVER THE STANDARD CABS AND MICS!! Sorry I could have made this reply a lot shorter but....That's how I roll man!! Thanks for your question Aidan and for the kind words.
Thank you so much for your response Shawn! I really appreciate the detail and insight, you've been a huge help. I only hope I can help someone in a similar way one day. Keep up the great work!
+Shawn Tubbs Shawn your playing and tone is always killer! I hope to get to see you live on tour with Carrie Underwood sometime soon! I'm thinking about getting a Torpedo Live, especially for home use and recording. What monitors do you use?
I've seen a lot of great players on You Tube,but I'm totally in awe of your ability to weave such an interesting build to what I consider an ultimate climax that is not only in the same class as Hitchcox or Orsen Wells but is ,in my opinion a gift you have to share with your peers.If that sounds like butt kissing then so be it,but few people have knocked me off my seat as you have.. Thanks
Ah man....Yer killin me!! They're both so good!! I would say either would be fine with an 84 amp. If you think you'd be less apt to take as many solos I would lean toward the Chime.
Bro, your humility is one of the huge reasons why so many people love and appreciate you. Unbelievable playing, and just a really humble, friendly guy! Keep it up man, you're an inspiration!
Thanks very much, David. That means a lot.
I bought one because of your video, as well as the Wampler Tumnus, congratulations on the videos

You are an absolutely fantastic player and a great pedal reviewer. Like how you try to always play the same licks when making tone changes to the pedals. Great job!
Thanks so much. That means a lot.
you have to do an album, just your intro demos are so good, and the playing is so damn good keep it up man

You gosh darn kids and your darn effects pedals! Nice job Shawn!!
HEY THAT'S MY LINE!!!!
fantastic player and a great pedal reviewer
Shawn, love your playing and demos! You seem a humble and down to earth guy, which makes it even better. Keep doing it, congratulations and my best wishes to you
Thanks Sebastian. You're very kind.
Dude, your playing is so damn enjoyable. That intro was slick as hell.
Thanks so much!
Shawn, I've been a huge fan since all the way back to your Vineyard / Violet Burning days. I'm pumped you're finally getting the Web presence I've been hoping you'd get for a long time.
Thanks Brad you're very kind!!
You’re so frikkin GOOD, Jesus. I need to watch more of your stuff, I just got this pedal, nice clear demo, thnx good job
One of the nicest od's I've heard.
Fantastic demo. You're an amazing player.
Thanks very much you're too kind.
Another great demo! Excellent production and playing sir.
Cheers.

You got it Brian! Glad I was able to help. Thanks so much for reaching out!
Ordered this pedal based on your demo Shawn - great work!!
Great sounding pedal. And that PRS looks gorgeous!
Love that guitar!! Thanks!
You always sound good Shawn no matter what, cheers
Thank you so much.
Awesome on so many levels! Sir you are a monster player!!!
Thanks very much!!
Man I could listen to you solo all day. Please do a solo record
Thanks so much Zack!
I agree.
More than the Demo's I keep looking forward to the little intro pieces that Shawn does.
+Ajay George for sure. I could just listen to the solo lines all day. I love the way he puts tension and release in his solos in such a tasteful way
Me too :) Crowd fund maybe?? :)
Great opening jam!
Dude, you are so rockin!
Great playing!!
Hi Shawn fantastic playing and demo vid as always! Which own hammer cab are you using btw? Cheers, David
Hey Thanks David. I'm out on the road with Carrie Underwood so I don't have my Torp in front of me to tell you exactly which one I IR I ended up on. I'm pretty sure its the Vintage Live ML 4x12.

I have my torpedo en route :) will definitely have to try that ML Live ;)

Thanks so much! I'm very impressed with Pettyjohn's work!

"Perceived Gain" that's good phrasing ...
Well done Demo Sir..

Glad to help Aidan. :)
IMO the best video demo tones on the interwebs...great demo mate.
So, is it too much to see something of the Chime and Iron used together?
YES IT'S TOOOOOO MUCH!!! Hahahaha...just kidding... I'm positive the two together will kill. So much so that I'm putting them both on a board.
:-) My Chime is on the way and I too will have them both on a board...although it'll take a while for the Chime to get down here.
It'll kill man. I think it's a smart move for sure.
+Shawn Tubbs Shawn your playing and tone is always killer! I hope to get to see you live on tour with Carrie Underwood sometime soon! I'm thinking about getting a Torpedo Live, especially for home use and recording. What monitors do you use?
The Torpedo Live is killer for home studio use. My monitors are old school man...Event 20/20. They're like 18 years old.
+Shawn Tubbs Thanks! Any recommendations for a great set of monitors to listen to the Torpedo through would be much appreciated!
Check out KRK. I hear they are pretty good for the money.
Amazing control and dexterity.Do you have any instructional videos?
I'm thinking about doing more of consulting one on one thing via Skype in the future.
I've seen a lot of great players on You Tube,but I'm totally in awe of your ability to weave such an interesting build to what I consider an ultimate climax that is not only in the same class as Hitchcox or Orsen Wells but is ,in my opinion a gift you have to share with your peers.If that sounds like butt kissing then so be it,but few people have knocked me off my seat as you have.. Thanks
frogbastard You Sir are very kind indeed!! Thanks for the note man I truly appreciate it.
+Shawn Tubbs dude I am so down!
Thanks Zack. I may start carving on something soon.
hey shawn .. which one do you like better? iron or chime? what would you choose for an el84 vox style amp?
Ah man....Yer killin me!! They're both so good!! I would say either would be fine with an 84 amp. If you think you'd be less apt to take as many solos I would lean toward the Chime.
Knowing what you know now, do you prefer the Iron or the Gold that recently came out?
I really like the Gold. The Iron does sound more robust in the mids but if you love Marshall Plexi tones the Gold is hard to beat!
👍🏾.....😉
nice!
To hard to tell anything about the tone just playing lead licks
Everything sounds the same just playing lead
