Suhr SL68 Handwired amplifier, demo by Pete Thorn

[300jet]

Hey Pete, great video as always...what camera did you use?

[guitvai2]

Pete - the tone is a guitar players dream. Your playing is fantastic too.

[Realfi]

Easy to see why you have such great pro career Pete!

[bgibson70]

Hey Pete...you used this amp on Guitar Nerd..I have the cd and love it! Wanted to know if you ran you're delay, phase 90,flanger effects in front of the amp since it doesn't have an effects loop? the effects sound great on you're cd! Awesome VH tone.

[IronicallyGood]

What pickup are you using for your van halen tone in the gold strat?

[flashy5150]

Hey! I saw your video " How to play eruption" or something like that. You're a great guitar player. You should send me a recording of a VH style tune and I'll blast some DLR style vocals at it. You seem like a cool dude as well. Cheers

[getvicky13]

Did you rewire the pickup selector switch in the Wolfgang? So that the down position takes you to the bridge pickup.

[sinasl1]

@getvicky13 I just rotated it inside the cavity :)

[getvicky13]

@sinasl1 hahahaha! smart!

[pull75]

Pete you should throw a EVH Frankenstein humbucker in that parts guitar! Have you seen them? They're amazing!

[RESCUE94]

great sounding amp! Your vh examples were excellent and that reverb sure adds some speciall sauce to it. I guess you added reverb later and was wondering what type those were based on? Chamber, maybe? Thanks

[charvelstrat81]

pete on the strat how far from the strings is the DSD?

[dmcelreath406]

How did you become an endorser for suhr?

[dmcelreath406]

Can This Amp Get a Good Van Halen Tone with the Right Effects?

[charvelstrat81]

@dmcelreath406 Your joking right??? did you watch the part of this vid at 11:40

the "more brown please" section?

LMFAO! it aint going to get any more VH toned than that bro!

[spicecrop]

Pete Thorn playing the Cult, you gotta love this guy. Pete Thorn Rocks!

[calfender08]

Hey pete awesome vid I'm going to get guitar nerd at cd baby. Are you using scumback m75's in this demo?

[charvelstrat81]

I was more inspired by this clip and the tune "perplexed" than i was at the new VH tune!

I am really into the tone and groove of perplexed pete congrats you have inspired!

[JasonElGato]

this video hands down, contains some of the best tones I've heard on YouTube....

[probos1]

Fantastic demo Pete. I always enjoy them, thanks.

[muskokamark]

Love to hear this guy playing my Two-Rock Custom Reverb Sig.

[tim9house]

Hey Pete - what reverb are you using when youre playing the EVH stuff at around 14 mins in this video? Is that a reverb in pro tools or your guitar rig?

[meanstreetman22]

11:50 was what i was waiting for...

[12444bailey]

hi pete happy new year. your suhr s sunburst alder body or ash?

[jem7772]

sounds Great..........But.........not very practical is it ? Speaker in a different room, attenuator etc, seems really dated, I quess thats why Ed does not do this anymore either. I bet the Axe fx will get more than close enough for rock n roll too. Way too expensive too, Suhr make one for the working class smoes like us that still need to eat & pay the rent

[sinasl1]

@jem7772 plexis were never practical... but they sure are fun.. like Harleys and G5's and speedboats and.... c'mon man have some fun in life!!!

[ChrisvonChamier]

@sinasl1 exactly!

[zpwnrman]

Do you know any descent amps that go great with an Epiphone Les Paul 100 under 300$???

[jem7772]

@zpwnrman  Fender Mustang 1

[charvelstrat81]

@jem7772 I agree IF you use the FUSE and tweak carefully you can get close to petes tone at the beginning of this vid

[The335plyr]

Hey Pete, I was wondering what gauge of string do you use? Thanks!

[jasman92627]

3000 hits in 24 hrs., may point to PT fans :) Would you say that this particular amp is a good to practice and gig with ? An all around amp ?

[amund72]

Just awesome Pete! Sounds like you did like an old Super Distortion for the sound... :)

Blix

[vhalen101]

Outstanding demo and tones as always....love the More Brown section. You get such great recorded tones Pete. Would it be possible for you to show more in depth on how you are capturing these videos/tones for your channel? Good stuff!

[Vraptr7]

Pete, is the cab matched that you are using for that head? Just wondering what type of speakers you were using! Sounds incredible!

[kuschnjo]

@Vraptr7 A Scumback M75 in a Bogner ported 1x12 cabinet all in an ISO box mic'ed with SM57 and Senheiser 421 - assuming nothing has changed in Pete's closet

[americ0yrupailla]

Plexi.

[xntrickk]

i have to say, that moment at 11:45 made me smile as i knew Pete would not disappoint. This amp is just killer!!!!! Not sure when i'll ever be able to own one but good god i have major GAs for this beauty. have you ever had to play the Metro version of the "brown sound" plexi?

[Cauldronics]

Street price?

[Cauldronics]

The Les Paul sure looks like an SG...  sorry if I'm not the 1st one to mention it. Sounds completely amazing, though!!

I think I must have this amp someday.

[sinasl1]

@Cauldronics Hi- for about the first two years of production, SG's WERE Les Pauls- they weren't renamed "SG" until 63 or so. Look at the truss rod cover in the vid, you can see it says "Les Paul". Les eventually ended his relationship with Gibson and that's when they were renamed SG (stands for "solid guitar" I believe).

[sdgiffin]

@sinasl1 I have a 1963 Les Paul "SG" with the sidepull vibrato system. Beautiful guitar. The P90s in yours sounds great, Pete. Killer GAS inducing video as always, dude!

[Cauldronics]

@sinasl1 Wow, that's wild! I never knew that. Now I can guitar geek my friends when LP's and SG's come up. : ) Thanks again for the amazing demos.

[Mykkus]

@sinasl1 You got it right Pete. Keep hiding that badboy from Jim, you sound better on it than he does...:D ~Big Mike

[JandTRockBand2]

Your tone is all very well and good sir.. But does it blend?

[sinasl1]

@JandTRockBand2 blend with what?

[JandTRockBand2]

@sinasl1 Ah it was a jokey reference to /user/Blendtec

[JandTRockBand2]

wow... The first minute of this video sounds just so amazing...

[rush2death]

8:08 Epicness

[kurtdmay]

@rush2death Yep - that's what does it for me too!!!

[PinkyWontWork]

I might have to pick one of these up and have it ....."f0RrTinz m0DdeDz". "wiLL iT d0s MEteAL beCAuz nEedz m0RrE gAinz cNAt fiNDz mY s0UNDs aND t0NEZ".

[guitapie1]

you could re-play all hard-rock guitar history with this amp.

[rat1well]

AMAZING PETE!!! Are you going to be at any booths at NAMM??

[loudgtr]

Fantastic video! Amazing tone and playing. So inspiring!! Bravo man!

[axeguitar1]

Use Somebody by Fernando Miyata please!!! I know u know the rest of it. :)

[sinasl1]

Hey Y'all thanks for watching! This sucker got 3000 views in 24 hrs, I think that's a record for me :) Must be lots of plexi fans out there!

[rockfreak611]

absolute perfection in tone. and of course the player always makes the amp.

it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.

[NickMass35]

Kinda makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.

[Simto]

"This pickup is not potted" sounds awesome! Don't fix it and use it for songs.

[bigleemac]

Amazing amp, cheers pete!

[Sonicblue1922]

The Cult Lil Devil tone was insane...Worth the price of admission right there!

[SAHMADMETAL]

Hi Pete, friends What tools do you use to burn your videos ?....

Joel Gonzalez from Venezuela

[guitarjunkie82]

Hi Pete, awesome demo! I do have one question: how do you handle 100 Watts with only one speaker?

[highrollerzzz]

I'm loving that amp.

[patricefrey]

Nice ! What speaker is in your ISO cab ?

[ArielsSmartyPants]

A strat and a plexi, nothing better :)

[EduSilvaOficial]

Absolutely fantastic!!!

[MarkUK316]

Women in Love nailed it.

[jeron23]

Waahh!! Amazing plexi tone! I think any guitarrist should have one amp like these in his life. Great demo Pete.

[pigram81]

Hello Pete,

excellent amp,great demo,I have already ordered it and I don't see the time that arrives, I wanted to ask you what speaker you have used in the SUHR 2x12 cabs (Scumback, WGS..)

Thank you very much in advance

[The335plyr]

@pigram81 just in case Pete doesn't see this I believe he has a scumback H75 and scumback M75 in his suhr 2x12. He could have changed them though. I read that on his photo of the suhr 2x12 on facebook.

[crazyb3fan]

Awesome demo Pete - I like that you're a gear head just as much as the rest of us wannabees! Great amp but I'll bet it rips your face off loud when you're up at 5+ pushing that baby, no?

[brunthroath6912]

How could this sound better.. the answer is none, none more better

[vanhalen5150jhs]

great demo



[anarazi]

Tone-gasm!

[odgeUK]

Pete, how does this compare to the new Metro-Friedman 12x style amp?

[Hoze666]

Pete, can you tell us, which cab you used for the recording? I would assume that it's your Bogner 112, but would like to be sure ;) And great demo, and what a player you are, all that stuff is just really great!!

[infernalgr]

When Pete changes sounds, the sun changes positions in the sky! cool!

[13COU]

I love when you play the old VH stuff, you have such feel for Eddie, love the Amp brutha!

[mrbiotech]

I've honestly never seen a better Amp demo! Thanks for showing not just different amp settings but how they react to very different guitar/pickup combos. Impeccable tone and playing, as usual!

"This pickup is not potted!" - awesome!

[swyitch]

since its non master volume have you tried playing it through any attenuators? How does it affect the feel?

[area859]

Amazing video!! Well done...and amazing playing!!!

[Juaniguitarra86]

this video is awesome, you rock dude!

[RofICopters]

Could you do a review on the Suhr M series?

[heliobluesrock]

Love your stuff! Always awesome tones!

About PT100, when you build that with Surh, what did you try to do? Create something based on Plexi? What was your goal?

[yongling]

Wow Pete, wouldn't it be too loud when you dimed everything? How do you stand the volume?

[Mykkus]

15 min in. That was the SHIT. You da man Pete!!!!

[andrewguitarist]

Awesome tone man! You are always blew my mind! Great attitude great toys and perfect playing! Rock on!

[Mykkus]

Whipass Pete.

[JTyndarelli]

Thanks for the demo Pete! Rock on my friend, rock on!!

[gktii]

keep rockin pete! \m/

[FuzzFace980]

Saw the title and clicked instantly. Great as always!

-I agree. A dimed plexi is a glorious thing because your own style and technique will always come through.

Thanks!

[Sulcuscentralis]

You're the first person on YT who nailed the Brown sound perfectly, I'm amazed! Awesome playing as well.

[deltafit]

Pete you are AWESOME my friend!

[charvelstrat81]

Pete when you demo the SL68 on ten here I almost dropped dead! thats the VH I tone! Where's that guy that swears eddie used a distortion box on VH I now? LOL!!!!!

[johnosstreeter]

its unfair, thorn can make a shit sound world class.

[tjchep]

oh yeah.

[Rmynatt]

Oh Man ! I absolutely NEED that sound out of my Axe-Fx II ! WoW ..., just WOW ... !

[allmanlespaul]

What pedals would you use to boost this amp?

[bmwm3cs]

SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[rastadarrin]

You make everything sound great Pete!! Next i'd like to see you demo one of the first Line6 Pods. I bet you would make that sound killer as well!! lol

[Infmda488]

It sounds amazing, but what's the price?

[sethrosenbloom]

That is TONE! Awesome demo and playing!

[bhr3]

Killer

[SeanAsheOfficial]

The way the full power/variac is set is almost identical to the mark V, must mean Suhr and mesa are doin something right ;) haha

Also awesome playing as usual Pete and amazing review!!!

[SturmAKS74U]

The Cult - Wild Flower at 08:35

[Andybaby]

@SturmAKS74U

.. which they stole from ACDC 'rock & roll singer' ;)

[twily]

Great job Pete!! "More Brown Please" Ha-ha, it doesn't get any better than that right there! Are you using the PVC Scumback on this?

[captainkjub]

The golden strat kills. The amp rules too

[thefretboardmagician]

Beautiful Pete, Sounds great!

[Moltisanti]

You can really see your enthusiasm for this amp on the video, and while all your guitars sound nice that 335 is a fuckin monster!

[VoyagerProject]

Awesome sound... great demo. I want one! I love how you managed to get through the entire video without mentioning Mr Van Halen by name!

[EdgarBeja]

Wow! You´re one of the most passionate and talented guitar players ever :) You play with real feeling and it´s a pleasure to watch your videos! ROCK ON \m/

[PwnEdgE1]

Very well documented video Mr. Thorn.In other words,Than was f##@ Great.YEAAA

[Foodie88]

What kind of speaker are you using here Pete?

[Medalion]

Love dat Brown sound
