You're demo compositions are better written than 90% of everything out there. I'm jealous.
Play more instead of watching gear videos..it's nice n simple
@@NintenDub why are you watching gear videos then
True story!!
@@jimthethirdprobably Haaa!! Excellent point.
I can see these things being invaluable to local gigging musicians. Almost all of the venues around me have cabinets as part of the in house equipment or you can go straight into the PA so being able to turn up with just a pedal board case and your instrument is an absolute win
Pete, it's amazing what you can do with & without pedals. As always, the playing is amazing!!
Thanks so much!
Hi Pete, great demo. I purchased an Amped2 from the guitar show in the U.K. I was fortunate enough to spend some time with James and Steve from Blackstar who showed me some of the awesome features in this pedal. An example. The delay and reverb pedals-if you hold your foot down on them it goes into a ‘freeze’ mode which intensifies the effect going into self oscillation! As soon as you release the pedal it’s back to normal! Great nuance effects. Also a lot of the controls do more than one thing. If you turn the level up on the mod pedal on certain effects it will change. I.e one of them changes into an optical trem effect past 12 on the level. Really cool Hendrix vibey style effect. There are other click and hold variations in the controls too. I use a MIDI switcher which makes it like a multi effects as pretty much any parameter can be MIDI controlled. I love my Amped2 and use it so much.
That climax at 1:16 - I've heard it more than 20 times now, it's still causing me to tears. Brilliant!!!
13:47 I occasionally use the old "pan the whole DAW mix to one speaker, pan the recording/feedback guitar to the other" It's a cheap and cheerful low effort option for getting feedback in a wee studio without mics on cabs etc.
the R.A.T.T. influence was showing during the heavy riffs. loved the musicality you got out of the pedal
I've always loved fly rig types of pedals, or even small modelers like the HeadRush mx5. I have a first generation Blackstar ht50 head that I love. Smoothest gain I've ever heard plugged straight into without any pedals.
It IS a killer amp! Great OD and distortion channels. I use a noisegate in the effects loop to tame that hi gain channel, works like the bees knees🤘🏾💯
I always enjoy the way you do demos. The music created for these never disappoints. This stuff gets better and better.
Thank u!
It is amazing watching you put these demo's together. The 80's tones were just dripping and ripping out of that little red box and that Suhr reg guitar!! As always, INSPIRING to behold.
I come here for the opening groove, I stay for the review. Awesome as usual, it's incredible to see everything that's available to musicians nowadays.
Sweet Demo Pete!! So entertaining and just watching and hearing our playing. Great tones from that Amp in a box!!
That looks like a pretty cool fly rig. Sounds pretty good too!
As always, you're playing is right on the money. Thanks for posting this!
I agree your demo compositions are always amazing ..... your always an inspiration and a power of example.... keep on keeping on Pete !
Pete, you are a gifted man!! These little demo songs you compose are so dynamic and powerful. The demos are great for the equipment, but the songs are so musical too!
Thank you so much
Another killer demo, tune and playing. You're an inspiration
If I played gigs or played out somewhere, this would be killer. Amp and pedal board in one small and light package. Killer demo!
Just phenomenal man. I enjoy your writing so much. Really incredible and inspiring
Good grief!!!! The precision in those fingers!! LOVE IT
This is pretty much what I have been waiting for ever since digital amps and modelers came out. Versatile, sounds great, simple interface. Just sold my AX8, got one of these on the way.
First impressions? As you will have a good reference because of having a fractal.i am in a same boat of waiting of these all in one units to become a standard..there are a few, like hk blackspirit, but this one is more portable, which is a big plus.looking forward to your insight
Pete, awesome demo !!! That box is loaded with goodies, and I hope you demo the Amped 3 too. Have a great rest of the week!
Great review, I just took an amped2 out on a 2 week run through California. It’s a great piece of gear… solid! Great vid man, brilliant as usual!
Another great demo Pete ! I really enjoyed the unit as well while writing the demo for it :)
your demos are simply oustanding Pete ! Absolutely amazing in sound and playing ! Chapeau !! ;-)
Round and Round!🎵 Sounds killer, as always.
Great Demo Pete! That unit sounds pretty dang good!
I just played one of these today. It was great. Easy to use, sounded great, tried it thru different cabinets and it was solid. Cool little unit 👍
Your playing/composition/tone creations have to be one of the best out there bar nun! Then to throw that onto it your personal character speaks for itself. Pete Thorn is the true gem of the guitar world! Thanks for being you!
Back to work quickly! I literally just saw you play in London Tuesday night (great show by the way). You're a hard working dude.
Perfect demo precise and concise, I don't want to sit through a long deep dive. If I can't hear what it's capable of in a few minutes I'm not interested. Thanks Pete.
Your playing and tone is always top notch!!
Thank u!
always LOVE the songs you write for the intro of these videos
You nailed it, Pete! Round and round !!!
The best demo of this unit on the tube!
I love your intro Tunes Pete! Always a talent show! I was going to say that the first lead sound you dialled, with the volume swell sounded like Jeff Beck (....ended as lovers)...and then you started playing some lol.
The only "issue" with your gear demos is your playing makes every piece of gear sound great!😊
You were on fire on the CRS tour, can't wait for next year, missing you all ready.....Al.
The tones that you're getting from that are pretty sick. This might have sold me on picking one up in the near future.
Great review. Thank you Pete 🙏
Awesome demo, thanks Pete!
I was listening to the intro song and thought Oh f..k, R.A.T.T. has released a new song! Amazing work pal!
Great demo... as always!!
Pete, You are the very best when it comes to a demo. I can not stand to watch many channels even try. They totaaly skip out on featues, especially the cleans because they just do not have a melodc bone in their body. Its all just chug, chug, chug, Heavy tones. You show every unit to its absolute best. Appreciate your channel.
Great track, great playing! Thanks!
I love that single-note riff played on the Destroyer, it reminds me a little of “Lay It Down” by Ratt and the album “Burn It Black” by Injected, which are not bands that I usually think about having any similarities! Very cool.
Dude you've got it! 🎸 I love this channel!
Thanks!
Welcome Back Boss!
At 12:49 you nailed Ty Tabor's ferocious opening A chord on 'The Train' !
Pete I'm getting a wee bit sceptical about some of these pedals because you come up with the great music to show them in their best light. I enjoy your shows bud, your very skilled at demoing these pedals🏴👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate
Great Demo! 😊
Rippin solo over intro Pete! Box sounds really good!
Excellent Pete!
Wow. Great demo. This thing has some chunk. Hard to find in pedal form. Interesting. Also can change wattage. Nice! Would like to try with a wah and whammy pedals to see how it interacts with them.
Great playing, great tune.
Don't we all wish we had this stuff, say like, 30 years ago? :)
Hope you had a relaxing return home and not too much jet lag.
Thanks!
Great demo Pete. You make everything sound good. If only we had your abilities.
Thanks for listening, Brad!
Pretty sure you'd make a badminton racket into a dust bin sound immense Pete but this was other level BRAW! I've got the smaller brother Amped 1 which I hoped would be a good to decent back up or something I'd use for rehearsals but it's ended up being the centre of my little rig for all gigs, replacing my much loved Swart amp. Is it the same? No. Is it really good sounding and way more convenient and light? Absolutely!
Welcome home Pete!
Tasty licks, as always. Thanks, Pete.
Thanks!
@@PeteThorn I hope you'll be out doing Suhr clinics again this year.
That demo song has 80's goodness written all over it! I could have easily seen Ratt playing this back in the day.
I think being on the road agrees with Pete. Playing better than ever! And that descending chromatic run at around 12:39 stopped me dead in my tracks, and I had to hear it a couple of more times!! Haha
13:29 !! UNREAL
Thanks! :)
Great video Pete. Very thorough. Will you do a video on the amped 3. Thanks
I don't pretend to know how they do it, but everything I've ever played from Blackstar just sounds great.
Pete, your demo tracks are fucking AMAZING!!!!
Thank u!
Mr. Thorne can make anything sound good
Blistering tone and heavy chugging...thanks for blowing me away Pete!!
i have the amped 1. you got some great tones out of it! so cool!
Pete! Wear Where these Things 40 years ago Right?? So Kool to have such a Device to do all that and a bag of Whoop Ass! I know we all needed lots of time practicing and trying New gear to try and find out My Tone! But I would have loved to had just one of these!!! Great Video & Jam! U just keep pulling them out that Hat my Brother! ❤️🎸🤘🤠
The intonation 😮❤
Hey Pete, Thank you for all that you share with us! Have you had a chance to check out the Headrush Prime yet? I am wondering if it would do a good enough job for live gigs in order for me to leave my Quad Cortex at home in my pumpkin shell.
Ok, that intro was freaking killer.
Thanks!!
I thought it sounded a bit brittle! And they should have the tap where the reverb is!
This is pretty cool. I would purchase this before I would a Line 6 product.
Christ Pete you set my monitor on fiiiire!!!
Independent of the Blackstar AMPED 2 sounding great, Pete could take ordinary used car parts and find a way to get amazing tone we all will now have to get. Unappreciated talent.
Great demo song Pete. It's time for a new album surely?
Thanks Pete. I like the idea of these powered modelers. I find playing a modeler through a real guitar cab more satisfying than FRFR speakers for some reason.
Hi Pete and thanks for all your great vids! 🙂I got inspired to ask you for some advice (maybe a nice idea for a video?) when I watched this product (might get it). I got an HT Club 40 MkI that has got tube failure right now. I'm more of a bluesrock guy and I always ached for that tone on my Blackstar, but obviously it's geared towards hardrock-metal. I've heard you many times on videos mention e.g. the JJ brand for tubes. Speaker-wise obviously the seventy-80 speaker works for the intended sound of the amp, but my idea was to change the speaker maybe to a Creamback 65. Also what tubes would give me the most blues-/bluesrock sound out of the thing? I'm not an informed guy tube amp-wise, so to me it's confusing that exactly the same tube structure of one tube head would sound completely different in another tube head, and the 3 AX7 and 2 EL34/6L6 is the standard case in most (I've read that one preamp tube and the PI is substituted for non-tube components, but it shouldn't matter a ton if the last part of the chain is a tube in the preamp and poweramp). So in short, how would I choose tubes - along with the Creamback speaker - to turn it into a blues-/bluesrock amp (if that's even possible)? Cheers!
Ok now I want this Blackstar amp....
Killer as always
Holy sh£t Pete, your playing is UNREAL!!!!!
Thanks!!
Cette voix calme et posée qui dispense ses conseils avisés.
J’ai changé beaucoup de choses dans mes séances depuis que je vous suis.
Question qui peut paraître bête. Quelle inclinaison du banc est préférable 30 ou 40º??
Hi Pete thank you for your videos, always inspiring. I have just a question. Can you connect your pedalboard into Amped 2?
No Saving Presets on the device is a killer! I hope Amped 3 Addresses this! I dont think it would have been that hard to add a preset mode...thoughts?
I noticed the technique you used to keep the right hand moving to maintain rhythm during pauses , pay attention young players ,that’s the way it’s done
Is there any gear out there today that sucks? Hehe - Just everything today makes great sounds, I wish had been like this in the 80s!
PT you made her scream 🤘
that demo song iss sensational.
Pete, when are you going to release an album of these Demos?
very cool!
Great work Pete...my wallet hates you. Love your opening composition - RATT vibe!
I guess they crammed enough stuff into the unit for there not to be room to include a built-in noise suppressor. It's still very cool though.
*is that track for sale? it was great!*
Just wondering Pete, will you be making a demo of the Headrush Prime? I was lucky enough to get one from the first batch that Sweetwater got, it arrived today. Even though I already have it, I still like to get your take and of course hear you play. :)
I think so!
When using the XLR out could you still change the power switch from 1W-20W-100W?
...Love the Ibanez Destroyer
In your opinion is it loud enough to gig with?
Are repair schematics available for u s repair shops?
How does this compare to the amplifire?
