    I recently acquired a Suhr PT100 amp and I'm amazed at the sound and versatility! It was a treat purchase for a big birthday and I researched a lot of high end amps and went with Pete's. Great choice! These Suhr 68's sound incredible but I can say that I am happy that the PT100 is easier and more intuitive to dial in to those fantastic tones! Thanks Pete!

    @Jay-og7ld 4 месяца назад +1

    I've always loved your tone and you have a tone signature for sure. Well, to me anyway. Your amps and pedals in the zone put me right into my zone and now I can set different amps and pedals to get the same tone. Huge break through. After all that now I don't need a preamp pedal. I thought I had to have one. Pete, I wish you would talk about the Marshall Super Lead. The new SL Suhr's are something else. I'm looking at the Hombre. I play E, A and classical guitar and they all have pickups. The Suhr Hombre looks very promising for handling all of them.

  • @timnotbrianmay
    @timnotbrianmay 4 месяца назад

    AWESOME AS ALWAYS, PETE!!! I got a Marshall 100 watt Super lead 1959 with the two 1960s cabinets back in 1977, I think... It had 6550 power tubes, which I just Googled, and had I known, and been able to, if it were possible, probably have switched out to EL 34s! ... Live and learn! At the time, I also did not know about matching tubes, so I got replacements when I needed them from an electronics factory distributor, which I think at the time cost like $10 or $12 a tube!!!-can you imagine???????... aaaaaaahhhhhhh.... The Good Old Days!!!!!!!... You know... Before food cost as much as rent or a new car!!!!!!!... Thanks, again, Joe!!!

That was a great demonstration, thank you for that! I am understanding what the bright cap is a lot more now

      @@d3w4yn3 I have one of those and it sounds really great as well. But obviously you don't get any of those "tweak" switches that the Suhr comes with. In all honesty, if I could afford it, I would probably go with one of these new Suhr plexies..

    Amp sounds amazing. But, what I really noticed was when you plugged in your sig. I remember you saying once that one of your key requirements was to have an even balance across the strings, tone and volume. I really noticed that when you played that open A chord extending the octave. On the sig those high notes really stood out, to me, in comparison to the other guitars.

    Great video Pete!!! I've been looking at pre-73 small box 50 watt Plexi amps for years. I've never been able to find a good one for a reasonable price. You can't find a cheap one any more, reasonable priced ones have changed transformers and other issues while the good ones are pretty pricey... if you can even find them. Then you've got the reliability issues if you want to run it hot for extended periods of time... and the worry of how much the value will tank if a transformer goes down. TBH, I'm leaning more and more towards buying a SL67. It just solves a lot of problems and you get a great Plexi. Why Marshall don't do a handwired small box 50 is beyond me!

    lovely amp. I must have treble sensitive ears, the bright cap on would give me a headache pretty quickly. i know everyone's ears are different. very versatile amp to tune it to your taste and master volume is killer. i used to have a jcm800 non master volume, four inputs, it was a big fat toned amp. the strat and no bright is amazing.

  • @andyracksthecams
    @andyracksthecams 4 месяца назад

    Thank you. Great demo. I am looking at a 67 original but will now check out the (modded) newer versions. I take it for the UK mains versions the Variac switching has the desired effect. Does the same amp work on 120 and 240 volts with no extra basing required and something I've always wanted to ask you, can you hear a difference between 60hz and 50hz? ❤

  • @middle_pickup
    @middle_pickup 4 месяца назад

    Good demo, Pete. Would like to see what this amp sounds like set for pedals though. Bukovac swears by the old super bass amps for being the best pedal amps. Mere mortals like myself will never get one of those, but the SL68 maybe.

    • @PeteThorn
      @PeteThorn  4 месяца назад +1

      Yeah, the super Bass spec is certainly great for pedals - totally agree with that.
      The SL amps would work great too, you just have to set it not to gainy! Maybe jumper the channels, volume 1 on 2 or 3 with 100pf bright, volume ii on 4 or 5... killer set like that for your pedals.
