I love pedals that do not use conventional labeling on the user interfaces!! I believe it was you that said many moons ago, that it encourages a bit more experimentation because you may turn a knob differently than you would if you knew it was a tone filter, or you can't turn this knob past that because your never turn your gain up past noon, etc etc. I took that to heart even to this day and try to NOT rely as much on a manufactures generic terminology when tweaking ... the whole knob rotation is fair game! Thanks again for an awesome review and fantastic playing! What a great tool to put on my wish list!
Pete you are a rockstar man. Even if I'm not interested in a new Reverb pedal or whatever, I aways stay for the musical intro. I find these very, mmm, musical. You are a top player.
Man, I keep watching this video like once a week or even more! The pedal is fantastic! I want one badly, and the playing, the guitar, the tone! All together is like the tone I'm looking for! Thanks a lot for this! The track you put together here is outstanding! So unique!
Nice demo, as always. That's an interesting reverb pedal, I've never seen one distort the reverb to the point that this does. Strange hearing clean tones being played, and then this root five chord sounding distortion come back.
This piece would be a great intro for a TV crime series (think True Detective). One of the things I love so much about your playing is how imaginative your melodies are. Every song evokes something different, almost like story telling.
I've built 3 Warmoth guitars. 2 strats and a Tele. That strat of his, in every video he uses it, has that special "something" that defines greatness in sound/tone to me. Never fails the perk up my ears and get my attention. His playing, gear tweaking, and recording savvy aside. Its got that "it" factor to me.
+Wak Job the Strat is a great one, I got it at Gruhn's in Nashville about 8 years ago. It held its own and was basically neck and neck with a couple older ones, I think a 60 and a 63 as I remember? They were far more expensive but not better sounding :) it's a warm sounding strat but with great character and clarity.
Great review, Pete, but I'm having a problem with the sound quality: all through the review there's like this distant, low-pitched moan... oh, no, wait.... that's my Boss RV5 crying in the corner.
Pete, my problem with reverb pedals is that they always duck my signal under the mix when in a band setting. I need a reverb pedal that has a boost level knob built into it. I'm always using my reverb as a quick flavor in songs, and I find myself constantly hitting the boost pedal to drive my signal back up to unity with the band. I think it's crazy no major companies include a boost switch or mini-toggle on their reverbs. It's such a great effect and for it to be heard audibly by an audience it needs to be boosted. Just curious if you know of any pedals that have solved this problem. My favorite so far in tone has been the Holy Grail, but it sinks my volume big time.

Caroline makes really fun stuff

Thanks so much- it's what I really enjoy doing, writing (and producing)
Awesome intro Pete. Once again, you prove that you ARE a true ARTIST!
omg in love with this
that is a powerful reverb thanks pete thorn
Beautiful phrasing, Pete!
Those samples are sweet! Such an inspiring sound. Thank you, Pete!
+Reskiy Thanks! Ya it's a really cool inspiring pedal!
Interesting pedal, different approach for a reverb effect. The havoc-switch is really cool.
such a great player. just awesome.
Thank you!
Hey Pete you mentioned you were moving Studios. Are you moving to a bigger place?? Amazing demo as always.
+Robert Baker More to come on this soon :)
Pete Thorn :)
That Intro....Clint Eastwood, West Texas, boots, and a loaded gun looking for the bad guy...
Hello Pete, thanks for all fantastic clips. If you'd recommend one good, basic reverb pedal, what would it be? Cheers from Stockholm, Sweden
It sounds like I could actually get fairly close to the sound of this pedal with my CBread Echorec. Might have to give it a try.
That pedal is awesome. Caroline Guitar always makes some uniquely colored boxes. Great demo Pete. Would love to try it on vocals.
+Jin Jung Oh I hadn't thought of that- it'd probably be awesome on vocals, with the momentary switch!
sounds like a great verb for the alt Jazzmaster or Jaguar spyfilm sounds.
occilation=excellent stuff.
Yes I agree
Hi Pete. Would it be possible to do a review of the Rockbox Boiling Point? Thank you.
Almost 50 large subs man. Congrats!
I wish I could find a strat that sounds that good. Damn.
+Wak Job - Try Warmoth guitars. I have made several Gilmour replicas for about $1400=1800/guitar.
+Wak Job i'm sure it's mostly Thorn's ability to play.
+james campbell you're probably right

Pete, What is the overdrive your using in the signal chain?

+ianA Hi, I'm not Pete but I venture to answer you... Strymon pedals do that in their secondary functions, at least Flint does! It can boost til 3db
I will check that out!
+ianA Yes the Strymon pedals have a boost, in the secondary functions!
Awesome thank you Pete for the info! I like the Blue Sky for its shimmer effect as well, so it looks like my new ticket!
This pedal has a built-in preamp that can add a lot of boost as well. It can get really loud.
I wonder what the backing track was done with....
ROCK ON
Hi, does someone know, what the first pedal is (before the reverb pedal)?
Hi, I think I used the Bogner Harlow...
+Pete Thorn Cool, thanks!
3:48
I really like reberb effect.
looks like an old yellow Sony sport walkman
ha! nice, that takes me back :)
Pete this or a context?
i HATE the predelay. im thinking im going to pay a mod group to give me control of it
How intonated is that Strat!
