Sheesh. Should I get out my guitar and actually practice, or continue to sit here and be blown away by how Pete plays? I'm on the edge. A sensational guitar player, demonstrating his extraordinary skill and proficiency on this gorgeous sounding amplifier. This is a dream amp, the total package. Let's see, where's my pick...
Suhr is very fortunate to have such a comprehensive review of this amp . I bought one based on this video and one with Ian Thornley at Andertons in UK. I really like the amp
This video is not only a great review of the Hedgehog, yet also a good example of how an amp review should be done. No need to mention the flawless playing and the nice piece of music.. Great work, Pete..
I am amazed, every single time i watch your videos Pete. Not sure how that's even possible, but after every one, i think "this guy is amazing, and there's no way he can make a better vid than what i just watched"...And then, BAM! Just unreal! In my opinion, you are the best guitarist out right now. I've heard most of them, and many are great, but you have a way around a guitar like no one i've ever seen...The precision is just incredible...Never hear a sour note, never seem like you are out of control, just nice and smooth as you hit each nail directly on the head. Bravo my friend..Bravo.. ;-)
I couldn't have said that better - that's exactly what I was thinking. Pete - you've got an amazing sense of tone and an incredible picking technique. and now I understand why Ian Thornley sounds like he does. Great demo., Great composition.
I remember seeing the prototype of this amp at NAMM in 2009/2010. I was impressed back then and remain so. Clearly the time was spent making sure this thing worked perfectly! Bravo Pete and bravo Suhr!
Pete, you're tone choices are like a fresh breeze that blows away the grime of the smokestacks. ........Layering at its best. Healing the world in little ways.
mykllynyrd I'm not sure if the terms are worth it, but maybe you could publish to Spotify and the other services. I just found this info members.cdbaby.com/get-on-spotify.aspx
Wow Pete! Some truly amazing sounds that you come up with during these demo's. I watch them over and over. Incredible playing as always and an incredible amp. Thanks for this as always!
Best gear demo's in all of TH-cam land. No one comes close to the musical content in which you present all gear bro. Seriously all the demo's have top notch music in them. Like Guitar Nerd volumes 2 thru 5 if you make songs out of all those ideas. Keep rocking +Pete Thorn. Thanks for the music!!!
Pete you continue to inspire with every video. Not too mention, you crank out these amazing tunes and demos so quickly! Every video is like ear candy. :)
That is one way to sell a product as it sounds fantastic....great work Pete, no screaming just great music :-)I think this set up has become a object of desire!
Suhr must be stoked to have you demoing for them, Pete! Like many comments, I think your demo-song-creations are stellar. I dig the way you describe the features and demonstrate the gear and of course your playing. So I just bought your album. Thank you for all the work you put into these and please keep it up. I'm checking out Suhr amps with interest now...
+Pete Thorn, i thought after seeing playing this amp by Ian you would not have made a good impression. You surprised me, really good. sorry if I was biased 👏🏻👍🏻
Great demo Pete! I can't tell you how many times I've watched this demo. Love it! I ordered my Hedgehog head and matching cab from Lauzon Music in Ottawa today! Your demo was one of a few that made up my mind if i were to buy it or not. I own the bella as of now, great amp as well! I can only imagine what the hedgehog will be like. Great work as always! cheers from nothern Alberta!
Killer demo! The thing I get confused about this amp, is it only the “voicing switches” that are programmable? Or can you also save different presets with the knobs? Like, is it possible to save one preset with the gain knob at 2, and then possible to save another preset with the gain knob at 8?
Pete.. Wow. I am taken to new heights each track. I am your number uno fan, buddy! Just amazing, amazing, soul touched beyond measure. Thank you for that every time.. I improvise on your tracks often, harmonizing on the keys; I am a pianist. Sometimes I come up with a magical little counterpoint, I'd love to send you a few of my sessionsl, Pete. We have a musical kindredness, and it's something quite special.
in the famous words of waynes world " We're not worthy" great playing. Great tone. At times with 335 there was eric johnson tones happening in the lead. verynice !
Pete!!! my god I just love listening to you play. We know the amp has some great tones but the real tone comes from your fingers. I keep sharing your posts to everyone I know. Plus it is inspiring the see how you play your tracks and why you pick each tone for each track. Is a lesson for all recording guitar players out there. Each song is a different story, the sounds should be also. Give us a new album.
Wow... great playing, and great song, Pete (album please!). Nice layering of a very catchy composition. So cool to get to see the playing that went into the layering of composition. Oh, right... and an amp demo! I like the look of wood front panels on amps, but this is a very porous grainy mahogany looking chunk of wood, not the best... but still, like this style-point for the amp's looks. Pete, great stuff, as always. Suhr is fortunate you are a big fan of their excellent products, and that you have mastered the work required to video and record and mix both together. Agree... best demo's in the business, and it's not even close!
Great demo as always. I played the amp today and while the clean sounds are just awesome, I found the overdrive kinda weird, sounded fuzzy and fizzy, not nice at all. Box was a Bonner loaded with V30s. What a pity, I was really ready to spend a bunch of bucks on it - the concept is just genius and one wonders why no-one copied that.
The only glaring omission in my guitar recording arsenal is a 335 - this video/song makes me want to remedy that immediately. It's easy to see you love yours. :)
Pete Thorn Killing me Pete...have been going back and forth between Kemper, D13, and Matchless for main rig in home studio. Your demo just solidified it for me. The proverbial "voice in my head". Awesome vid, thanks again! Peace my brother =)
THAT, is what a demo should look like! I love that you didn't touch the knobs, and got 4 tones! Real world demo. Great job, as always.
That 335 just kills on every video, such a fantastic sounding guitar
The tone on this amp is fantastic, but WOW! That intro song! Sheesh! Sooooo good.
Bear Rose Thanks!!!!
Nailed it again, simply the best sounding demo's out there.
Lee McDonald Thanks Lee!
demos
This is absolute perfection in every way possible. Oh the melody and tone!! To die for. Love ya Pete.
Sheesh. Should I get out my guitar and actually practice, or continue to sit here and be blown away by how Pete plays? I'm on the edge.
A sensational guitar player, demonstrating his extraordinary skill and proficiency on this gorgeous sounding amplifier. This is a dream amp, the total package.
Let's see, where's my pick...
I just snagged a Hedgehog and your approach to presets and the clear demo gave me a great starting point. Thanks!
Suhr is very fortunate to have such a comprehensive review of this amp . I bought one based on this video and one with Ian Thornley at Andertons in UK. I really like the amp
This video is not only a great review of the Hedgehog, yet also a good example of how an amp review should be done. No need to mention the flawless playing and the nice piece of music.. Great work, Pete..
As always brilliant supertasty playing. Great composer too. And awesome reviews. Pete's the king.
I am amazed, every single time i watch your videos Pete.

+mydogspet You're too kind, thanks for your thoughtful comment!
I’ve probably come back to this video 50-100 times. Just love the song you wrote for it. One of your best!
Not just a demo, but a great song. I could listen to a channel of just your demo songs all day.
mykllynyrd Same.

mykllynyrd Thanks so much!
mykllynyrd
The song is soo ridiculously good! It takes u so many places.
Great tune. Awesome playing. Wow!
WOW that amp sounds amazing. Great work, Suhr
that song was great-the amp has so many cool tones and your melodic in the pocket playing was outstanding-a real pleasure to listen to
It has been a long time coming! Sounds great Pete thanks.
***** Why hello, sir!
***** Thanks Adam!
Pete Thorn Man your demo is GOOD!!!
Pete, bought one of these based on your demo. Just got it and am in love with the tone. Thanks for all you do!
In my opinion this was your best jam. Sounds so good. It's both reminiscent, and somehow original.
Thanks! That was a minute ago!! Ha
Wow Pete! Some truly amazing sounds that you come up with during these demo's. I watch them over and over. Incredible playing as always and an incredible amp. Thanks for this as always!
Tony Cugliari Thanks so much Tony
Whenever I find myself in a dark hole and can't be creative in my music I play one of your videos and get re inspired again. Love the intro song Pete.
Marco and Stephanie Hey that is a very nice compliment and that makes me happy that you feel that way!
THE best amp by far!
Best gear demo's in all of TH-cam land. No one comes close to the musical content in which you present all gear bro. Seriously all the demo's have top notch music in them. Like Guitar Nerd volumes 2 thru 5 if you make songs out of all those ideas. Keep rocking +Pete Thorn. Thanks for the music!!!
Nelo Ramirez Thank you Nelo! :)
Wow I just heard some snippets form Guitar Nerd over at CD Baby & wow, what a good sounding cd. So well played & recorded.
greatvanzinni Thank you, I can't wait to make another!
Woow Pete you've really outdone your self this time, absolutely perfect!
Erik Ceman Thanks Erik!
Pete, you are far and away one of my favorite professional guitarists!
You always play with such ease and creativity. Awesome stuff. Beautiful amp.
StealthParrot Thanks so much!
Amazing clarity, you can hear every note so clearly.
Also, another amazing track - love it.
Steve Mayes Thanks Steve!
Fantastic tones, thick, rich, good sparkle, just fantastic. Your fingers, Pete! Thanks. BTW, your demo's are what got me originally thinkin' Suhr
Doug Stegeman Thanks for watching, Doug!
Cool to see so many options for a 1 channel amp. The OD with boost gets a good growl.
Nice bright tone and big pete I remember those days. 😭
Thanks for a great demo Pete. I have just bought my Hedgehog and matching cab. Superb.
Nick Hollings Enjoy Nick, such a good amp!
Pete Ian Andy you suhr guys have changed the playing field!
Pete you continue to inspire with every video. Not too mention, you crank out these amazing tunes and demos so quickly! Every video is like ear candy. :)
Kegan VanSickle Thanks man! :) I try and keep em fun to listen to
Pete Thorn You always succeed, for sure!
Another great demo. Really appreciate the effort and quality of these. Cheers
Pete!!! Damn man. absolutely crushing changes and playing! Love that Suhr Strat - those pickups in your hands really shine dude!
Great writing, great tone and great playing You make it look so easy; appreciate your musicianship
+chris chia Thanks Chris, I appreciate you watching, man. Please come back!
Been waiting for this demo forever. Thanks so much Pete! Sounds amazing! Can't wait to hear the Bella.
Aaron Smela Thanks Aaron- Bella demo is going to be up tomorrow!
Pete Thorn Well I just pulled the trigger on a Badger 30 head and cab. I just wanted those dirty tones too bad :)
Glad you are back. Excellent demo as always. That may be my favorite song you've done yet. Sounds great.
+Chuck Shook Thanks Chuck!
That is one way to sell a product as it sounds fantastic....great work Pete, no screaming just great music :-)I think this set up has become a object of desire!

Julian Langan-Fox Hi Julian, hey thanks man and thanks for picking up my album!!!
Fantastic demo, song and playing Pete. Tones to die for!
***** thanks Jim!
Great sounding amps! Nice playing makes it all shine.
I sure love your tones as well as your original songs. Suhr's equipment sounds top notch.
MDK2323 Thank you!
Great demo. This amp looks so much easier to use than my Boss Katana. I’ve started saving as of now.
those rhythm guitars on the opening track are gorgeous!
Bernie Gelman Thanks for listening, Bernie
I love the way you demo gear, Pete. I hope that I will be able to afford one of your demos within the next year.
***** thanks!
Pete, you're a star mate. Another quality demo with some stellar playing and demo writing. Cheers dude.
wow, this amp does everything!
Pete, you have the best demo's on you tube . Killer sound. Suhr must be grateful to you for making their products sound so good .
Daniel Quinn Thanks Daniel!

+Jason Hobbs thanks Jason!
we also bought the Hedgehog and cab on the basis of this review. Tried in store and was a no brainer :-)
Killer demo!
The thing I get confused about this amp, is it only the “voicing switches” that are programmable? Or can you also save different presets with the knobs?
Like, is it possible to save one preset with the gain knob at 2, and then possible to save another preset with the gain knob at 8?
Exactly what I want to know too. Can gain and level knobs be set differently in each preset, or is it just the small “mood” buttons.
Incredible demo/playing! This amp sounds great! Picking up a Suhr Bella this winter! Would love to see you demo that amp as well!
NNash92 Bella demo coming soon...
Time for the next CD. Great music!!!
JoeGtars13 Thanks man!!
Your playing is intoxicating Pete. You just hit the right notes man. :)
Clayton Weare Thanks Clayton!
Pete.. Wow. I am taken to new heights each track. I am your number uno fan, buddy! Just amazing, amazing, soul touched beyond measure. Thank you for that every time..
I improvise on your tracks often, harmonizing on the keys; I am a pianist. Sometimes I come up with a magical little counterpoint, I'd love to send you a few of my sessionsl, Pete. We have a musical kindredness, and it's something quite special.
Thank u!
Thank you, Pete. Thank YOU.🕺🤘👌🖖 Live long and prosper.

Phenomenal musician, humble and nicest guy ever.
Inspires me in more ways the one. 👍🏻
R0BL68 Thanks so much!
in the famous words of waynes world " We're not worthy" great playing. Great tone. At times with 335 there was eric johnson tones happening in the lead. verynice !

Craig Martin Thanks Craig!

Just loved that intro tune
Darryl Stevens Thank you Darryl!

surf247365 thanks so much!
Outstanding tones and demo Pete! If it's not yet a hit, it should be!
Al Douse thanks Al!
Greta video! I would buy any of your song in the form of the Groomed Noodler package. So much to learn from you.
Great demo as always Pete!
oldglamrocker Thanks!
Sad fact I'd rather hear the music of my guitar demo heros like Pete Thorn & Doug Rappaport than what I hear on the radio.
thank you for another great video Pete, always inspired by you man .. Keep up the good work !
Bill Staylon thanks Bill!
Damn. Great playing, Pete.
i felt in love for your telly, even if it hasn't a maple fretboard :)
I liked this demo quite a lot
+Mister Tee thanks'
Ultimate demo regarding skill, style, axes and amp. I am going to go play my Suhr Pro Series now... jh
Wow for the intro song too!! its just great...
Really great sounds
keith ellis Thanks Keith!
L'intro est tout simplement GENIAL!!! J'ADORE! Thx Pete for your music!
Jean-Charles FELICITE Merci Jean-Charles!
Pete, you Suhr can play some nice Guitar.
Thanks for some great videos
Great amp. And as always a great video/review.
LoCFiction Thanks!
What a great tune and playing .....what are the pickups in the 355 ?.....Cheers,
Hi Pete awesome demo and playing as always , just one question did you run the delay and the reverb in the loop of the Hedgehog ?
The only glaring omission in my guitar recording arsenal is a 335 - this video/song makes me want to remedy that immediately. It's easy to see you love yours. :)
that amp and Tele sound amazing
gibtube88 Yea! I agree
Pete Thorn Killing me Pete...have been going back and forth between Kemper, D13, and Matchless for main rig in home studio. Your demo just solidified it for me. The proverbial "voice in my head". Awesome vid, thanks again! Peace my brother =)
the 335 demo is magical
I love sound of the Tele...what Ron Ellis Tele pickup set do you have?
Great amp, Pete. I'm wondering how it would sound with the Suhr Reactive Load and a couple of well chosen IRs, since this is the way I work.
SriniP It'd be just great for sure!
That ES sounds pretty damn good through that amp.
Paul Castro Ya it's a good match!
Pete Thorn love the videos. They are awesome as always.
Sounds dumble-ish to me. Going to look at one tonight and this video tells me to bring cash-in-hand! Thanks!
It’s apparently based on the dumble bluesmaster circuit.
Pete Thorn RULES!!!
Beautiful!
