Suhr Badger 30 amp

[luxHROCK87]

origina fender 62! beautiful guitar!

[Guitasteef]

Did he say "penis" at 01:01 ??

[Winterland68]

Thanks for actually playing some rhythm guitar on the demo. Nice to hear what the Suhr sounds like. Most demos are guys tapping and showing how fast they can play.

[vangit]

I know this is an old video, not sure if you remember, but in the scaling demo, are you using pedal for the gain? Or is the gain all amp?

[Cauldronics]

240p... no justice.

[ManAliive]

Wow, that Les Paul sounds great through this amp! Any idea what pickups are in it?

[halfmoon422]

Hey guys,

Whats the song that starts in the "crunchy" section? Great lick.

[motokev]

very good HENDRIX chops

[AlvisLiquid]

Press 1 for penis selector

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@AlvisLiquid thats is awesome lol

[SuperWolti]

Hi Pete. Great playing as always! Rock on dude...

[MamoDad]

Pete, you really have some of the best guitar gear vids on the web. Extremely well done and informative. Thanks!

[ciclosonico]

★★★★★

killer amp!

[MrSandydillon]

Cool tone for a little amp Good job with Little Wing

[wannabweiland]

Pete, dude, you're the man. You could demo some stain remover or tennis balls and make it look cool. Excellent chops.

[cherrypieguy]

Nice amp. I am looking for that Dave Meniketti Y&T,  early 70 MK2 Superlead sound, but I don't need such LOUDNESS, I trust you and wonder if you can recommend an amp, perhaps this one, that captures that. In a way it seems this does. Close enough probably..?..any others. I actually like the Koncord too, bt gosh so expensive..I plan to basically use for paractice and recording at a professional level. Also, along w/ the amp , the CAB..Greenbacks are probly best? Nice Dialed sound.THX fr share

[drumbeater0]

that first clean section you played with delay using the strat....what the heck is that?? sounds great btw!

[homenote]

Man I can actually "feel" that strat. Mixed with the soft lighting and goldesh glows coming off the light on the amp.. Ok I'm getting weird.

Hey what pups in the R9?

Another bad ass demo!

[joelbyrne]

Youve got a great style man, especially like the Telecaster section(crunch). Thumbs up!!!

[TheHornet79]

The penis selector. Comes in handy

[ashevilleguy]

Hey Pete,

Thanks for the Video and great tones.  I'm a single channel amp/ pedals player and just received my Badger 30 last week. Great sounding amp! What type of vanneer, body wood, and pickups does your root beer Suhr tele have that you used on the T.C. Nova demo? Thanks!

[sinasl1]

@WoWandMetalFTW

Well I ain't Steve Vai or whatever... :) but I am a busy working guitarist. I play with Chris Cornell, Melissa Etheridge, Don Henley, etc. So I guess some folks think that means I know what's what with amps/guitars etc. You be the judge. I'm not the typical dude in band with record deal, but I'm busy doing "high profile" gigs. And I need quality versatile gear to cover all that ground. So I use Suhr gear. Cause it's awesome.

[WoWandMetalFTW]

@sinasl1 Yeah dude I take that back, not based on this comment, but because this was the only video I had seen, but I now see that you're an amazing guitarist. I want one of these amps so badly lol.

[scottymaxxx]

@sinasl1 -- great infop, but one question,. How does it stand out on stage for stage sound? Is it loud enough for movement or do you have your sound goin thru your in ear monitors? Am I missing something?

[scottymaxxx]

@sinasl1 -- great infop, but one question,. How does it stand out on stage for stage sound? Is it loud enough for movement or do you have your sound goin thru your in ear monitors? Am I missing something?

[Glydian]

@scottymaxxx We carry this amp in our store. There are a lot of artists using this live. Check out Guthrie Govan in the aristocrats. A 2x12 will help with the dispersion and get rid of some of the directional sound you get from a 1x12. This thing sounds great with a 4x12 though. I would recommend a good set of in ears even if you were using a 100 watt amp. I don't trust most venues monitor systems anymore, plus I like to control my own mix via the body pack. Besides it'll save your ears. Thanks

[trentbizzle]

@WoWandMetalFTW What a douchebag comment. Pete is a super talented/versatile guitarist that should be much more well known than he currently is.

[vincemanmusic]

hi Pete, I'm looking at this video again and again (as well as other with you playiing), and I must say that you are a real inspiration when it comes to playing, tone and taste... (I mean it really).

I have the oportunity to buy either a badger 30 or a Od100 classic + in the next few days... I could do with either ways or using them (1 chanel with pedals or 2 channels in the studio as well as on stage), but when it comes to tone, what would be your choice?

All the best,

Vincent

[dorielementary]

nice playing- nice amp

[napXVI]

what a track , in the eight minute?

[Mastersonics]

Hey Pete, thanks for doing this. Now I know which one is my next amp and cabinet combo. You always are ahead of the curve. Great TONE as always.

[gitarrenvogel]

That Suhr Tele crunch sounds awesome...

[TheCrystalyne]

Great demo, really great....

[taygoo13]

Is this power tube gain or pre-amp gain?

[zackrosicka]

Love the Mother's Finest licks!  Mr. Thorn you are awesome!

[MusicByCJK]

That lick at 8:00 is just perfect !

[FunkMauzz]

HAHAHAHAHA penis Selector  . It's Impedance Selector , But U knew 4 Sure

[mike31jmb]

Lmao... get your mind outta your pants, he said it fast but that is funny I had to listen to it again!

[charlesfelixmagnus]

I'm pretty sure you just heard him wrong dude.

[willowperson]

1:00 it`s got a penis selector...wonder what that thing does...

[sebm89]

is the 30 just louder than the 18, or does it have a slight different tone?

[mike31jmb]

Should be a little of both because the power tubes are different, they both are very close and very great so I guess take your pick?

[turiguiliano]

yeah it s a class a amp. really loud as what my friends told me

[Lynchman66]

bad ass amp and player! Thank you John

[jedarama]

What's the song from 1:40 to 2:00?

[TheeLoveland87]

is this amp a class A amp?

[mcflopper]

Did the tone controls stay set as they are in the intro of the video, or were they changed when the gain and power scaling were changed?

[tomiclav]

whats the song at 3:47?

[vrdyer]

Led Zep

[dburnidge56]

custard pie by led zeppelin

[BluesRocker52]

Superb, clean, all-around player...

Superb tone!

[JamesLimborg]

At 3:46 to 4:12, 4:18, 6:37, 7:18 I am hearing some of the playing get really loud to the rest of the playing. Is the Suhr Badger 30 amp doing that? I don't like my volume running away that much. I do not like that it only has 1 channel, I'd like to see a clean channel as well as a distortion channel. It doesn't seem to produce a lot of distortion like I'd use when playing Van Halen music... I do not want to use addition pedals for distortion from an amp that should already have it.

[JamesLimborg]

Excellent demo. I personally would of liked to see some Van Halen, but maybe that amp isn't really a Van Halen amp and that is why you didn't go there. I loved that slow picking instrumental at 8:01 , awesome... did you write that? Very creative and sounds great.

[knikk77]

I have the Badger 30. Mine does not vary in volume by it self. I use pedals on a clean setting with this amp, maybe not the best because the lower gain i have the less bass you get and gets thin. I have tried other preamps (JMP-1 directly in the effects return and the guitar directly into the JMP-1, there it has plenty of bass. I suggest you check out the Suhr PT-100! 3 channel. GREAT clean channel! Great distortion channel, like a blend of JCM800 and Peavey 5150, HIGH gain!

[snowbrdr88]

its probably the compressor used in the recording... amps dont do that unless there is a serious problem with the tubes or something like that

[roknfnrol]

It sounds like you don't like dynamic vintage-style amps...

[xxxthedaytonxxx]

@JamesLimborg hey i think that the volume change is the compression that youtube adds to audio

[JamesLimborg]

@xxxthedaytonxxx - Yeah, I think so as well. YouTube did that to some of my older videos. They should be making these demo videos in HD (High Definition).

[clutchen]

He actually said that! :)

[mgshred]

lmfao

[diminishedlogic]

lol what the hell thats so random freudian slip...

[taygoo13]

whats in the preamp

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

nice

...

hmm something just hit me

if there are any know-it-alls watching this could you write a list of the songs he's playing

[andreaswindfeld]

Really nice amp, and a great demo. I am currently looking for one of these babies:).

That looks like a really cool strat. what is it? Do you have some pics somewhere online?

[Rees473]

Ahhhh what song's that starting at 4:14???

Frustrating I can't think!!

Excellent demo! Best I've seen!

[depien]

It sounds Slashy. So some Gn'R I'd guess :)

[amplitudedude77]

It's "Just Got Paid" by ZZ TOP

[depien]

Which song is it at 3:25?

[YonOtto]

yur a great guitar player! should be seeing you at G3 someday : D

[fullofblood]

he's got lots of low-end punch and oomph on his voice atually haha

[flashpadxxx]

Dont know why..but i cant post biger comments.Plz read my coments from down to up.had to cut it in 3 pieces.thx

[flashpadxxx]

.Do you pick maybuy with your middle or ringfinger a higher string while playing this small lick??sry for my bad english...

[flashpadxxx]

At the end of Little Wing from 3.09 to 3.12...the small end lick i hear a higher note all through ringing but i cant figuere out whitch one.

[flashpadxxx]

Great Peter.I have a question and i hope you will answer...

[flashpadxxx]

....

[ejsbox]

well done!!

im going to buy one!

a litle expensive...only problem:-S

[fullofblood]

superb amp!

[lonestar225]

Very nice demo...really liked the Just Got Paid from ZZ Top man...

[foghorn99]

For an amature independent camcorder recorded (not doctored) clip of the Badger 30....see my clips. One with PRS McCarty and the other with a hollowbody electric that has Fralin Unbuckers.

These are VERY good recording amps...for pretty much any genre of guitar playing. - Kent

[kou2917]

What's song he's playing at 8:00 ?

It sounds beautiful.

[soren650]

It's something he wrote himself. I asked the very same question quite a while ago :)

And no, he doesn't have tabs for it ;-)

[GMoorefan115]

Very,Very Sweet SounDS!!! Love It!

[guidocorbella]

Damn, he really nailed Little Wing

[casperfren]

You got soul in your playing.

[rsl84416]

I have to say thats the best sound to come out of a telecaster that I've ever seen.

[andrewt248]

I'd have to agree, but have you heard Brad Paisley play a Tele through a Dr. Z? That sounds really good, too!

[rsl84416]

I have to say thats an admirable sound too, but this is pure rock n roll, and I'm not a country guy. But his sound is my favorite country guitar sound. It ought to be good with Dr. Zs and Trainwrecks. He puts some serious money into his amps.

[hockeynpolo]

What's the name of song at 3:46, 4:14, 4:40, aw hell. All of the songs we awesome. Any possibilities of a set list I could look at?

[doob10163]

3:46 custard pie, led zeppelin

[andrewt248]

4:14 Just Got Paid, ZZ Top

[joostpattipeilohy]

3:46 sounds more like Mickey's Monkey from Mother's Finest

[lidesnowi]

Is it Point To Point wired?

Does ANYONE know ?

[Szartard]

No.....and does it matter? You wouldn't be able to tell the difference sonically.

[Stringprodigy]

Sweet, Pete! What are the main differences between the Badger and your PT amp? (besides wattage)

[samgam69]

that hendrix cab thingy was awesome!!! man that was boneable

[666patrickbateman666]

Is it PTP wired?

[DirtyRose54]

How do you get that cool sounding effect at 05:13??

[gtrtuben]

why this amp seem to have less clean headroom than the badger 18?

[sinasl1]

No, it actually has more clean headroom for sure.

[rsl84416]

I really want to know about that strat, I'm looking for one and some I don't like, and that is the sound I'm looking for. If you could tell me what it is I would really appriciate it. P.S. I enjoyed seeing you with Chris Cornell

[sinasl1]

it's a 1964 strat, all original.

[rsl84416]

Well, it really sounds fantastic, I'll have to find something else thought, not to many of those floating around

[ivan80jkd]

great play, great tone, great amp!!!

[nickthenail]

Pete, if you were on a desert island (and it had electricity) and you were allowed one amp, what would it be? Badger,Concord, FTR 37, etc?

[sinasl1]

my Suhr PT100!

[DirtyRose54]

Cool, thnx. =P

[jem7772]

@sinasl1 even over the fractal axe fx ???

[HORUSelHALCON]

Excelent sound! How its the name of riff in 04:16.

Thnxs a lot.

[acdcrocks0323]

Just Got Paid Today by ZZ Top

[HORUSelHALCON]

thnxs acd..!!

[shaggadelik]

Great video of a great amp! Thanks Pete!

Beautiful guitarplaying also, you have toneful hands bro.. :-)=

[viperBSG]

It's hard to beat the tone of this amp man!

[berntkaasenoh]

Nice demo! :) Do you use this amp live? I didn`t see it when you played live in tromso norway!

I just got my Badger 30 and it sounds FANTASTIC!!

[sinasl1]

Tromso! I loved that place. i do use the amp live, mostly I keep it home for recording though.

[berntkaasenoh]

Cool. so it works great micing it? (What type of mics do you use?) I`m recording an album with my band this summer, so I hope the amp come in use :)

[barnabite642]

pourquoi tant de compression?

[positivesoldier]

Hi Pete! Does your strat got the hendrix wiring? (bridge blended with neck) . Thanks.

[guitaralbert0]

that is a sweet sounding amp.

[yinyangthang]

It's got a "penis selector!"

[wickedmojo]

great stuff Pete! thanks for taking the time.  you're videos are awesome!

[xXForgetxitXx]

whats that first(and second) thing played on your LP?

[yeacarolina]

Hey Pete, been a fan of yours for awhile now.

Quick question for ya. I'm looking to get a half stack. I was looking at the Marshall JCM's but there a bit expensive for me. Any Suggestions? looking for something that give that good grunge and rock sound.

thanks man!

[Dismas007]

héhé when you switch guitars. You switch Shirts too ? :D nice playing as always Pete !

[1Mig777]

8:08 sounds like steve vai tone to me; overall, since I heard the Suhr Hedgehog, I was checking into their amps, and love 'em. Also like your work with Chris Cornell.

[andrewt248]

Royer 121 and an sm57.  The only way to cut electric guitar!

[Szartard]

Fuck yeah it is.

[ToffernFuruh]

01:01

it has a penis-selector at the back:)

[CavefishX]

wow something that sounds that good cant come cheap.

[timmonsisbest]

i love how laid back this guy is

[sinasl1]

thanks! I get uptight in traffic or when people are stupid but other than that I try an stay laid back....

[doob10163]

What are all the riffs being played? I can identify a few

[howieizme]

My brother has this amp and brought it over to show me. It sounds very nice. Heavy little bugger for it's size.

[youtubauser]

Wow, what are you playing from 8:00 - 8:37? That sounds beautiful man.

[irnbru1982]

lol at 1.00

[6stringsteve]

glad i'm not the only one who noticed :D

[Riverdale270]

Hey man, is it maybe possible to send me a message in which you explain what riffs from which songs you are playing here?

[cwalker67]

Bought one after watching your demo 100 times. :)

Best demo clip ever. Suhr give you commission? Ha!

[Barefoot67]

great hendrix shit!!

[peterg7707]

what song at 4:15??

[johnnybmeya]

ZZ Top "Just Got Paid"

[peterg7707]

nice castles cover!

[jimbobmcgrath]

very nice demo!

brilliant!

[jman70SS]

What song are you playing from 2:07-2:40? I feel like i should know but i can't place it. Great vid by the way.

[jman70SS]

Never mind i thought of it "Castles Made of Sand"

[JuicyOverdrive]

What year is that strat?

[guitargeek62]

1965 judging by the logo, my favourite ;)

[lessamuelson]

that's the best demo I've ever seen. songs we all know, different guitars, short and to the point demo's. please, do more demo's

[vsichapmanj]

totally agree.

[MrBluesmanJunior]

I actually played the exact same Suhr Tele through a Badger 30 just yesterday. The tone was incredible. Probably the best tone I've ever heard come out of my hands, haha...

Great demo, man! I really enjoyed this.

[Nomdeguerre]

A penis selector? =D

[sinasl1]

Jesus H Christ

IMPEDANCE

but sure, it's got a penis selector too

[WBGuitarPickups]

ROTFLMAO.. Swollen tongue syndrome from maybe bad sushi Pete?

[Brizraen]

Nice video, that amp definitely has a great tone. It would be great if you made a lesson on how to play that your song at about 8:00. It's amazing, man.

[Stormbringerpurple]

Peter, honestly, on top of being a great, very tasteful player with monster chops and a great tone - I saw you live with Chris Cornell - you make the best gear demos I've seen on the net. Thansk for yet antother great demonstration of a killer amp.

I checked your website but can't seem to find any of your music for purchase. Let me know where I can find it.

[sinasl1]

Thanks! Starting to work on a solo CD now. Also check out the self titled Forty foot Echo album- a cool modern rock band I was in (available on Itunes, etc.). Also played alot of guitar on the new Daniel Powter album, coming out in a month or so.

[JuicyOverdrive]

You a session artist?

[galnis1]

ameyzing

[anaru18]

I really enjoy watching your videos, just listening to the sweet tones really inspire me to pick plug in and play.

[jdatnva]

That Tele sounds great. Being both a Rock and Country player I'm wondering if this amp would work well for the Brad Paisley type chicken picken' type stuff. I know he uses a Z, but this amp had peaked my interest. :) Between the Badger 18 & 30 which one would you recommend for a Rock/Country player? Thanks!

[danechka06]

what model of strato is that one you play little wing ? ...thanks

[sinasl1]

It's an old 60's strat

[playersnox]

what are the pickups on your gibson les paul?

[sinasl1]

WB pickups.... they are a vintage wire PAF type

[BluesyMatt]

just wandering.. there's only a single channel version? and how much does the 18 watt model costs?

[sinasl1]

Yes, both the 187 and the 30 are single channel models. The 18 is around $1700-1800 I think

[BluesyMatt]

thanks dude!

[binsou]

What are the speakers used in this video?

[sinasl1]

they are greenbacks, except for the hendrix stuff and the clean bit towards the end- those are celestion blues in an open back cab

[binsou]

thanks...looks to be a nice amp for studio and more ;o)

[mitscan]

Incredible playing.
