    Easily the best "guitar review guy" on YT. That's not even close to doing Pete justice. 1. the boy can really play. 2. He gives honest educated advice and commentary. Petes is a straight shooter. 3. He loves what he does. His enthusiasm, skill, and insights make him a trusted resource for me. he uses all the buzzwords, but doesn't sound pretentious, he's expressive in how he communicates. he also seems like a genuinely good guy.

    The lead on this video is so beautiful and tasty! It was so cool that I kind of wanted to try and play it myself, but I am not quite at at level yet.
    Also. I ended up buying those because of this video. They all sound terrific!
    I am not a "Reverb guy" at all. Been playing for a long time with just delay into a dry amp, but this one sounds really good & has some controlls that allows me to set it exactly how I want it.
    The EP-3 is probably my all time favourite delay unit, and this thing nails it so well. The Memory Man is also incredible.
    On the Astra, my favourite thing was the Flanger. This pedal I have actually tried om person. The cool thing I found with the Flanger was that it actually was driving the tone a little bit

    That Suhr guitar is absolutely beautiful. I almost blew a load of cash on two UA pedals for a new mini rig, but I think it's time for a new guitar. I've been fighting between a Suhr or PRS. Custom build Suhr is probably best way to go. At their prices, you might as well go custom. Definately. also, I am really at a loss for words when I don't see Suhr guitars listed in the top 10 quality guitars. Is it me, or does there seem to be only a certain few brands than smother the youtube market? edit: holy jesus those guitars are $$$$, time to make a plan. Any one need their home remodeled or custom cabinetry for a home studio? How about a pedal effects board, schidtt-array style, but finer? two tone Burl Maple enclosure with all brushed aluminum folding top tier and Fiber optic side glow lighting effects?

    • @PeteThorn

      You can do this as long as the pedal is on or in a buffered bypass mode. Or if you use another buffer of some sort. Just because the inputs on the back will want to see a buffered (low impedance) signal
