    ​Pete Thorn has constructed a dream career on being heard, not seen. He’s toured the world backing Chris Cornell, Don Henley, Melissa Etheridge, Jewel, and Japanese rock icon Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi (even performing at Mt. Fuji for over 100,000 fans on the biggest concert stage ever assembled in Japan). For a self-proclaimed “guitar nerd” (check out Pete’s 2011 album under the same name), it was a 21st century guitarist’s goal. After that, what does one do in between tours to stay busy and relevant in a modern world? You become a beloved RUclipsr, of course!
    His channel (‪@PeteThorn‬) is a great destination for gear demos and comparisons, but Pete’s content stands out with his simple, and east-to-apply tone tips. (It’s worth noting that Pete did this very thing inside Premier Guitar for years with his “Tone Tips” column. Check it out!) The fun, diverse, informative videos Thorn has delivered have blossomed into a parallel profession with a built-in audience pushing 250k subscribers.
    While PG was on the road in SoCal, Thorn graciously invited Chris Kies into his Hollywood-based recording sanctuary, where his RUclips channel takes form. The hour-long chat covers Thorn’s signature Suhr gear (guitars, amps, and humbuckers), he shows how his setup can switch between eight tube amps in a flash (only outdone by his ability to interchange cabs, mics, and speakers in a snap), and we dive deep into Pete’s primary pedalboard.

    Pete Thorn is a savage player who's tone is always on point. I've been a huge fan of his videos since moving to LA a while back and finding out about him. I love the way he has such a huge affinity for amplifiers and traditional amp tones but has also embraced the tech shift towards modeling and IRs. He blends them together so well! Such a rad dude!

Pete and John Suhr actually replied to my thread on The Gear page in 2017 with what would fit into my Strat. Still play this guitar daily and people always ask about the pickups. The clarity in the Thornbucker Plus even with high gain is amazing. Well done Pete!!!
