One of the few musicians here on the Tube that can make a demo video entertaining. I personally watch many of these just for the demo songs. Such a solid guitar player.
I feel like taking lessons from Pete would be the most comfortable experience ever. Just a personable guy with really helpful advice for people who want to cut the fat and have some real life knowledge applied directly to their sound or playing.
Strymon has three delay pedals. Would be nice to see a video comparing the three so us guys that can only afford one of them can get the right advise. Most comparisons on TH-cam just play against different settings. Rather hear a conversation, that tells us which pedal best fits different different types of music styles.
+Pete Thorn I know what you mean....just wanted to see where you were going to take it melodically...key change,etc... And those chord inversions just made it sound so damn brilliant and interesting.....fantastic really without adding the flash....its an explosion of melody. We as guitarist overlook these thing. So thank you for the reminder. Cheers!
I love you're guitar playing Pete! Great video and superb settings on the Strymon DIG. Michael Thompson turned me on to this awesome pedal! I love his clean ambient sound so I asked him about it. He said he uses the Strymon DIG and other delay pedals instead of his Eventide H3000 Micropitchshift patch like he used to like in the Tim and Pete show you did in Michael's studio...God Bless! Rob
The first song is kinda flirting with Eric Johnson’s “Trademark”. Like the vibes on this pedal, especially the golden ratio. Really thinking about switching out a Boss DD5 and a Boss CE2w for this DIG. What do you guys think?
Now if it had a total of 8 delays, we would be in UD Stomp territory. Thanks Pete. This is probably the only pedal I would get to substitute for my Magicstomps at live gigs
Very ’80’s (and early ’90’s) pedal. No bad thing. It was a big decade for lush delays. :-) Many demos on TH-cam for the DIG bring to mind David Sylvian ’Gone to Earth’ or William Orbit ’Hinterland’ stuff. No complaints here.
Pete, you always do such a great job with these demos, always dig your playing, precision and professionalism! What is your recording path on hotel room session - Axe Fx? I'm pretty ignorant of recording techniques. You usually do a great job of mentioning your amp set up, etc, but it would be great if you could include that info on all your demos.... helps me to fill in the dots! Thanks for your help and open attitude:)
+yebdox In this vid, I used the UA Friedman Dirty Shirley amp plug in for all the tones- reason is, I thought, I gotta do this one in stereo- so I plugged into the DIG, stereo out into my UA audio interface, and then pulled up the Friedman plug in on 2 channels, and dialed in a basic clean sound. I just wanted to really put the focus on the delay.
Id love to know how everything was routed and where the Strymon fits into this chain.Somtimes Stereo fx is rather elusive because in a live setting it's 2 amps/speakers/mics/and a sound guy who is irritated at the fact he might actually have to match these levels and pan the channels at his desk

+Donovan Duguay Thanks much, Donovan!
Pete can get better guitar tones in a Hotel room than some can in a Studio haha
Pete Thorn is the King of superior sound and taste!
Greatness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A pedal demo half filmed in a US studio and half in a Japanese hotel room.. that's pretty rock n' roll. Great stuff as always, Pete!
The compositional grooves in your videos in your videos are stellar Pete - look forward to your next solo release. cheers T.
This demo video is incredible, and a big part of the reason I now have a DIG on my board. Thanks Pete. Keep on rulin'.
Love all my strymon pedal but this is my favourite
Pair with an El cap for super lush delays/verbs
Welcome Back Pete, missed ya and your reviews. Hope to see more in next days .....

TH-cam is a great platform to be a guitarist and for discovering guitarists, Good work Pete.
Some great tunes (!) in this one. Welcome back.
+tempjohn1111 Thanks!
Pete can make a turd sound good. What a great, great player and he seems like such an approachable guy.
Strymon is a serious contender!
Reminds me of some bands I don' hear much of any more like flock of seagulls and ocean blue. Great demos as always!
beautiful demo songs!

Please finish that song, Pete. It sounds stellar
I meant the first one 😜
Thanks! These delay demo songs are fun to make- no need for "flash", they are all about texture which is refreshing for me.

Thank you Pete for all your very good demo
great to see ya home, this is one impressive effect
it amazes me what you can do with a macbook pro, great tones!
Your demos are awesome.
Great demo. This helped me to decide to buy one.
I like the 12 bit mode.. I like colored sounding pedals :) this pedal gives a lot of options.. Nice demo Pete!
I do too, really just a nice amount of warmth/highs rolled off

Thanks for posting a really informative video. Going to buy one of these awesome units and have hours of fun.
thanks - i'm on it with some direction now - getting one in a few days - new follower
Finally back in the studio!!!
Yessir

Awesome Pete,the pedals not bad either! Glad your home man!
Thanks!
This thing sounds cool -- seriously though, half the time, I come to hear the cool songs you make up.

kinda a return to those cool 80s sounds like the fix , flock of seagulls,
Hey Pete, what are your thought of the DIG through the front of the amp? great demo, Thanks!
Great video as always!!

Hey Pete, what are some of your favourite distortion pedals these days? fav all purpose hard rock pedals?
welcome back
Awesome songs and sound? Do you create your backing tracks yourself? How do you do it? Just the basics, I mean. Thank you!!
Welcome back to the states, Pete
+James Harrell thanks James!
Is there any way to match the bypassed level with the effected level like on the El Cap?
Hi Great video how can i set it up on the send and return of my amp. Thank you
Is that the white guitar that had a single coil in the bridge? Is that now a Thornbucker in there?
Yes that's correct!
+Pete Thorn Ha! extra geek points for me :-)
Otsukaresama from Japan!
really want one!!

Imagine suggesting an irritable sound person 😂
ROCK ON 🎸

GReat vid! Was that the "all baked" Suhr? Have you modded it for SSH? I think it was born as SSS?
Yes correct! I had a Thornbucker put in the bridge recently
Pete Thorn
sounds grrreat
I didn't see any women's undergarments in his hotel room, what's up with that?
FARGO!
Should have gotten you an apartment in Japan, as long as you've been there lol. :D
I was there on and off, 6 months of the last 12... A long time!
first ! Haha awesome review pete:)
Great demo, great pedal BUT terrible 'colour' choice Strymon!
the colour looks amazing on a pedal board, especially stacked with other Strymon pedals...
Ben MORRISON its a great color i love it!
