  • What are the new brown Suhr guitars? 

  • Sounds awesome!

  • sounds great Pete why does the recording only go to one side on the last VH demo?

  • Oh man...me like. Thanks for demoing with a Strat as that is my main guitar.

  • what is the song wich you play from 5:38 to 5:45?

  • @chinczyk15d : Ain't Talkin Bout Love by Van Halen. Hope that helps!

  • Pete is a bada**.

  • FAB demo, thanks. Your playing is soooooooo cooooool \m(>.<)m/

  • Is that 335 a reissue? What kind is it? Great playing and video!

  • the pedal is cool but you're playing is awesome.

  • Oh wow, and I just went out and bought the dam AMP. Great review, awesome sounds.

  • your eyes creep me out, nice playing and good video though

  • Daaaaaaaaaaaamn.

  • i personaly would rather use aan amp for distortion...but the review it great thanks.

  • Damn I like that sound!

  • 6:31 - Like Tom Morello once said: ''If you wanna rock hard, lean on F#''

  • Fucking guy knows what he's talking about, knows his shit!

  • Hi Pete,

    Have you ever played through a Splawn Quick Rod Amp? Just ordered one and they are supposed to sound like different Marshalls. A modded Plexi, a modded JCM-800 and a 800 on Steroids :-) I love your 335, sweet guitar. Very nice tone you have.

  • dude you're killin it.

  • 3:40 he makes HIMSELF jizz lol. Great demo. I am definitely building one of these.

  • Notice that when he picks up the guitar...the sun magically comes out!

  • I had one of these pedals and loved it. I don't know why it didn't catch on.

  • Pete Hi

    Do you run all your effects on your small board in front of the amp or any in the loop?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Great insight and thoughtful. Glad I came across your video. Of course, your playing is awesome as well.

  • 素晴らしい動画だ

  • cheater! The damn badger already is the perfect crunch background of an amp to place such a pedal. Sounds s-excellent. I wonder how it fairs in other, ahem, 6l6er amps or something.

  • is the guitar at 6:01 a 59 vos les paul

  • why does yours have a 9 volt dc instead of a ac adapter?

  • what pickups did he say he had in that suhr green strat at 2:36?

  • @CenileTV fletcher landau pups by suhr =)

  • i wonder how it sounds compared to a lovepedal plexi, wampler plexidrive, zvex box of rock? i´d love to hear a shootout. great playing as always, pete. love yr sound.

  • Hey pete ! would you recommend spending the extra 50$ on this pedal rather than a suhr riot pedal ?

    thanks Big fan ( :

  • Hey Pete, brilliant review - would you recommend this in front of a Vox AC15C1? Really digging that amp but just for that extra crunch & gain I'm looking at this or the DC drive (but I heard the dc has less gain). Keep it up man! (Y)

  • @JamiesHereNow I just picked up a Carl Martin PlexiTone and am using it in front of an AC15C1. Sounds great! The Vox has some nice clean and slight breakup tones. The PlexiTone takes it into rock and hard rock territory, and sounds great doing it. Another pedal to consider is the Wampler Pinnacle. It can sound a bit more modern than the PlexiTone. Just depends on what you prefer. Both are the best distortion pedals I've ever had.

  • @LPMojoGL Thanks for the reply. If you had to choose just one of those two which one would you pick? I just checked out some videos for the Pinnacle, sounds pretty good actually, but I somewhat prefer the Plexitone - can it do some modern-ish sounds? We're spoilt for choice nowadays with amps/pedals/etc. ;-)

    Does the AC15C1 take pedals well?

  • Hi Pete, love all your vids.. great playing there. Question, I actually am seriously considering going the route of a clean amp head with my gain and other effects coming from the pedal board. Do you have any recommendations on a good amp head for just clean playing. I cant figure out why fender does not make any heads anymore.. unless I am missing something?? Their supersonic is like 1700.00 plus.. but that has gain channels and such and not what I am looking for.

  • plexi makes me come

  • simply one of my guitar heroes! Interesting that u r using the 335. It seems it can get heavy, tight and rockdynamic without too much top vibrations! How do you find it?

  • Outstanding Playing,Demo,Guitars,Home,ever­ything is perfect!

  • top of the line demo,,,to the point and sounds grrrrrrrrrrreat!!!!!!!!! killer attack, and warm tone and paired to that 335 you cant go wrong........nice

  • Incredible pedal, and great demo! Just placed an order for one. This is the third or fourth thing I've bought because of Pete. Keep em coming!

  • Grinning ear to ear. Love this, thanks!

  • Good job!! Bravo!! Sounds great!!! Your a great guitar player!!!

  • Pete, this demo is flawless! Now I don't know if I want a plexitone or a pinnacle! Can somebody tell me about the difference between these two pedals (PM is ok) ?

  • Greatest plexitone demo, seriously.. the best!

  • Hey Pete, awesome demo! When you kicked into somebody get me a doc., it sounded like you had a little more gain going on than earlier, did you introduce an additional boost? Thanks, love your playing.- James

  • Love that shredding passage!!! 6:56

  • @ChrisvonChamier Megadeth fan? haha

  • Awesome song at the end. You rock!

  • Comment removed

  • Sold!!! Seriously, amazing.

  • Sold!!! haha....seriously, amazing.

  • Sold!!! haha....seriously, amazing.

  • Hello, does somebody can tell me how can i record a good youtube video with a good sound quality as this??

    Thanks

  • I wonder how this would sound through the clean input on my

    Marshall 1987x..... hmmm.

  • i want that board

    

  • What's the settings?

  • hey pete, just wandering how high do you set your string action aproximately??

  • WOW ... Does this do JTM45 type sounds too (ranging from Hendrix to ACDC)? ... sounds as if you've been doing moslty JCM800 type sounds out of it...

  • @flammingcarrot I havent used this pedal but on a side note the ZVEX Box of Rock is meant to be great for JTM45 tones.

  • HOLY FUCKING SHIT!! This thing is incredible!

  • Must be the Koko boost he is talking about being muddy. That is the only other boost pedal on his board.

  • Hell yeah! Classic VH riffs through that plexi tone sound great!

  • I have a wonderful Mesa Lonestar that gives the most beautiful clean tones I have ever heard but I was wondering if the plexitone would fit into the clean channel to give it some more crunch and push.

  • that is a very believable brown sound. Pete you have amazing chops.

  • What were youre Plexi settings/what else did you use to get that EVH tone? Sounded great

  • is this one the danish made one, as i wondered if there is a difference between this and the euro version,

  • whats that song at 5:40

  • @diverolly Van Halen's Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love.

  • Dare I say?...Perfect demo. The tone is perfect. The playing is spot on...as is the explaination of how it works. Also, the pedalboard is perfect. Everything you need is right there in a relatively small space. And it's so nicely laid out and clean. It even satisfies my pedalboard OCD. I may just have to purchase a Plexitone to replace my main overdrive (which is, ironically, an OCD). Very nice.

  • This demo really made me happy. You see, I already HAVE a Carl Martin Plexitone and love it, but for some reason I´ve lately been thinking about buying a Blackstar HT Dual instead. The thing is that I find the HT Dual so fun to play on but when I really listen to the two pedals I find that the Plexitone sounds so much clearer and more true Marshall. A bit harder to master and more revealing but free from that bzzz-isch sound the Blackstar pedals and amps have.

    Your demo made it so obvious! :)

  • Nice, sounds like the fx is trying to be a marshall 1974x.

  • All guitars were recorded through the plexitone. Even the bass.... but did the bass also go through the bassman head or was it recorded direct into a di and on into the recording interface? What Fender model bass is that?

  • Hey Pete, nice vid :D what's your settings on plexi tone for evh tone?! it sound soo sweet :)

  • Hey Pete, what's the Plexitone setting for your VH tone in the video?

    Thanks.

  • I use it on the vintage channel of my Marshall Vintage Mordern amp. I like it a lot! It's the only drivepedal I use at the moment. Feel free to check it out on the liveclip on my channel. 

  • Comment removed

  • just curious... What fender precision bass is that?

  • Pete,

    Man that thing sounds great. Question for ya, I have a Marshall Class 5 which I love but want to really kick it into gear and get these tones. I assume if I put this pedal on the amp set just a little dirty I can nail these tones in spades? Cause unless I dime my class 5 (loud as shit for 5 watts) I need a pedal to get me there...

  • I'm thinking of getting one of these to put through the clean amp of my Peavey JSX for more Marshall tones occasionally. The JSX clean channel is VERY clean with no real breakup, do you think the PlexiTone would be a good fit for when I don't want to run the JSX Dirty Channel?

  • Sounds wicked! ..and Pete is a badass

    

  • @yogimusiccom thanks Yogi!

  • @sinasl1 hey pete great demo! was wondering what pedal board you have there? looks great!

  • I just got my Plexitone two days ago. WOW!

  • Great review, serious tone too! The never ending search for tone continues ; )

  • That bass still has the old tagger on it. Don't touch it. Don't point. It can't be played. Ever.

  • Hey Pete, thanks for the great demo. This made me finally order this after most demos I listened to did not give me a good true sound of the pedal.

    Mike

  • The only thing that sucks about Pete's demos is that I can't afford to run out and buy everything he shows! Pete could plug his guitar into a toaster and make it ROCK! Then I would want to buy a new freaking toaster!

  • Comment removed

  • Hey Pete, at 5:30, how do you set that evh sound set up , reverb and delay?... also what modes are being used on the plexitone? thanks!

  • Hey Pete, Is this still the best plexi in a pedal you have found? i think im going to get one, i use egnater and jet city soldano heads set clean and i think this would be really awesome for the evh tones and 80s rock tones.. what do you think? thanks!

  • @sessionfan I love the pedal, I think it'd work well in your application. you have to set the knobs somewhat unconventionally, it has lots of gain and output (I run level on 4, gain 1 on 2, gain 2 on 4 and the tone on half or below a bit usually)

  • Will it lift an already cranked frontend, into a beastly lead sound?

    Sweet ES-335 tone BTW

  • @Rasser48 I think it's best used into a fairly clean amp- clean to pushed

  • 3 dislikes probably from boss fans... ;)

  • Pete - Great demo, and great looking pedal board. Can you tell me the brand of chorus pedal on that board, and what the device is underneath?

  • Dude, Pete... you're my friggin' hero. You're a huge inspiration. I hate to be "that guy," but I love all your demos. You really know how to apply all of the things in a demo that are on all of our minds. Thanks, man!

  • @wannabweiland thank you!!

  • Hey Pete! Great video! Are you sure you don't like this pedal because of the big "PT" letters? LOL! Just kidding. Is the jam song at the end of this video yours or someone elses? Sounds killer either way! The lead is awesome but the rhythm is smoking hot. Thanks for giving personable demos in whatever you do. Keep rocking!!

  • you have some killer axes.. what yr / type is that les paul?

  • @MOSKII58 it's a new-ish R9 historic 

  • smell good !!

  • nice demo mate!

    you have just made me buy one.(and the wife caught me halfway through the credit card transaction)

    now i have to buy her a present too. god damm these pedals are expensive!

  • Sweet tones dude and badass track at the end!

  • Incredible tones Pete!

  • that sounds wicked great mids incredible tone with lots of clarity.

  • How does this overdrive compare to the one that comes on the Carl Martin quattro?

  • Awesome demo Pete! you rock! Ever compared the Plexitone to the Wampler Pinnacle?

  • exellent!

    

  • The pedals are:

    Plexitone

    Suhr Kokoboost

    Retrosonic Chorus

    EVH Flanger

    Phase 90

    El Capistan echo

    TC Electronics Polytune

    Voodoo Lab Pedal Power

  • Hi Pete, smooth! Question, if you do not mind. I recently purchased a Dr. Z Maz 38 Senior NR. It's a great amp, but I am struggling with the tone. Most have told me, I will never get the sound I am looking for, that like a Marshall, through the open cab. Would you agree, or do you have a recommendation? Sorry to ask you, but I have no where else to go... ;-) Thanks So Much, Coco

  • @jimmisd1 i have the same amp and the plexitone is awesome thru it....you won't be dissapointed man, go for it!

  • Thats the coolest thing I've ever seen

  • If I threw the Plexi Tone in front of a Peavey Classic 30, would you think i could get Maiden and Metallica sort of tones?

  • Comment removed

  • Love the tone and the playing

  • This is by far the best distortion unit I've ever heard. Beautiful demo and tones.

  • Had to log in and just toss a comment; awsome review, superb playing! great video quality variations, everything. pretty much best youtube video I sen in a long while.

  • i like that look in your eyes (im not joking)

  • hi Pete, excelente demo.

    Do you think this pedal will work good in a Fender Deville with g12 65 speakers ?

    thnx

  • @AndreNieri I'd think it'd be great with that amp...

  • can the boost be used independently? or does it only work when either crunch or high gain is activated?

  • @peeblesj1131

    independently, very handy actually :)

  • I wonder if that pedal board was designed to go in front of the amp and what sequence it is in. Do we put a tuner in the effects loop or 1st up after the guitar ? Is Pete thorn cool or what ? I think he is so cool to share so much information with the fellow guitar players in a down to earth kinda way ! God bless you Pete Thorn !!!

  • man thanks for the vids very clear and objetive, probably im gonna buy one

  • Which pedals do you have there on your pedalboard? :-)

  • Thanks For the Demo! Easily the best I have seen. I bought this pedal based on the demo!

  • Holy moley, now that is a demo........ i nearly fell off my chair when you ripped into the end track. Excellent work.

  • ...........WOW...........

  • great demo, is it true there will be a single channel version of this pedal?

  • Fantastic pedal. I use it in front of my 2203 that is set to a slight crunch, and the pedal just sends the amp into total singing saturation. I love using in front of a Marshall, because that way, you can have the amp sounding like it's cooking on 11 at any volume.

  • @iBrows1 yes I agree! It works great in front of a Marshall set clean.

  • @sinasl1 Great pedal alright Pete..just out of interest, have you ever demoed The Radial Tonebone Plexitube?

  • Sounds great dude, very cool demo.

  • What a great demo, you are a amazing player Pete...

  • Can i just say That , that was the best Demo i have ever heard for any gear .PERIOD !!! cool looking room , great sound quality , great visuals , and very consise and to the point ,,No FAFFING around ,,,Well done mate .

  • Pete, you're one of the best players on youtube by far.. There's no question about it.. You can tell this guy is a true pro.. Great Demo

  • hello pete! Would you mind telling me what is that pedalboard? where can i see those pedalboard u hv there. i need that.

    Thanks!

  • @TheMuhd85 A@S cases, North Hollywood, CA- custom made there, with a matching case.

  • The last demo song... was that played through the badger or the bassman?

  • Nice demo and great tones. Pete could make a lawnmower rock, though.

    Guess its time to sell some more blood.

  • Did you use any compressors while playing? The clean tone on the badger sounded compressed compared to my badger 30...

  • @knikk77 nope!

  • @sinasl1 Ok, probably the compression on the recorder or something. I LOVE your badger sound! What settings do you have on the badger for a typical clean sound like when you demoed the Carl Martin Plexitone? That pedal is awesome!! Didn't know it was that good until your demo of it. I dig your playing! Can't wait til your record is released, I'm buying it. :-)

  • @knikk77 run the gain on 3-4, tones on 4-6, and power and drive on 5. that's a good place to start. Then hit with pedals for gain

  • F*cking perfect review.

  • Pete, How does this compare to the Boss Power Stack?????

  • hi Pete, will this pedal sound good on solid state amp? i intend to buy an all valve amp but only have a solid state at the moment.

  • I love your PT100 Tone! Even on clean channel it is awesome! Pretty hot!

  • Best instruments demos on the web are by Pete always. Thanx for posting man.

  • Bitchen. Ok, so I see the Phase 90, the EVH Flanger, the TC PolyTune, the Plexitone of course, the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power, but can't tell what else you've got there. Would you be willing to detail the board a little? Pretty please? Thanks very much.

  • @mrzeppo I see an El Capistan Delay and Suhr Kokoboost. Don't recognise the Chorus pedal though. That is a big ass enclosure for a Chorus. Wonder what he uses the Koko Boost for?

  • @mrzeppo id like to know that too!

  • @mrzeppo It's a Retro-Sonic Chorus and Strymon El Capistan

  • Chocolate milk............mmmmmm

  • Now I know how it feels to have my sock's blown off. How good was that?.

  • Great demo! Thanks to your demo I ended up getting one and I am super pleased!!!

    possibilities are endless...both as a tube screamer type boost or just an all around distortion pedal. I am really impressed. Actually sounds better than most amps out there!!!

  • what settings are good for evh

  • we have a famous guy use it and get his own version called the dizzy drive here in the home country of the pedal; denmark.

  • Yup, anything Mr. Thorn does is pure gold. Love it!

  • Hey Pete! I was in the market for a pedal and as soon as I heard that you had one and raved about it on another website before this video, I bought one based just on that. I'll be sending you the bill by the way! :) Great demo and great playing as always!

  • Love this demo, I keep wathing it. Pete thorn seems like such a nice and cool guy too !! I think there is more going into this sound clip that the little pedal board though. There was a lot of reverb on the Evh track and it did not sound like pedal reverb either. Notice how most of the other clips on youtube sound pale in comparison ? I would love Pete to do a demo with no mike on the amp and just the pedal. Same with the Suhr Riot, sounded too good to be true..........and it was !!

  • @jem7772 Hiya, the verb you speak of on the little evh section I added in Logic- just like the real deal, it's "studio reverb". But there's no reverb on any other part of the video. Also the Riot video is the same, what you hear is what you get on that one. You just gotta turn the knobs right and mic the amp correctly!

  • @sinasl1 Hey Pete, Thanks for all the tips & Great Vid too ! You re the greatest man, so sorry if I may have offended you. I just think that most people who purchase a pedal, want to use it in a combo to get that big amp sound. I think many people are disappointed when they get one because they dont have that lush studio reverb and miked amp tone they hear on youtube in many vids. That is a lot of gear for the average Guitar Guy.

  • What Was Your Setting on the Phaser for the EVH Thang?!!? It Sounds AWESOME!

  • @evhfrankie vintage mxr with the speed all the way down. that's it!

  • Excellent demo Pete. I just bought a PlexiTone on Ebay because of this. Gonna see what kind of magic I can do to my Twin with it. And maybe even try it on the plexi channel of my XTC Classic to see what I can do there to kick it up a notch. Your stuff is always great. KUDOS!!!
