I've seen Pete live many times. He knows tone, he's tasteful, well spoken and genuine. Trust his assessments, you'll save a lot of money and disappointment. Great hair too. 😎👍
You're a real class act, Pete. Your playing is always amazing, yet it doesn't get in the way of your demos. I always come away from your videos feeling like I really learned something. All the best, mate - you deserve it!
Pete - I get pumped when I get an email stating you have posted a demo. You are the best and demoing products and your playing is amazing! Each of your "demo songs" is like a hit as well! Thanks so much for sharing with the rest of us! You rock man!
Pete makes me want to buy every single piece of gear he demos, EVEN such gear that I've tried and dismissed earlier. He just makes everything sound so damn good it's frankly a little frustrating for those of us going through tons of gear trying to find "great tone", while Pete could pretty much run the guitar through a Belgian waffle iron, and it would sound epic :)
Aw, thanks Richard, I think that theres SO much good gear these days. It's really pretty easy to get a great tone, with all the great options out there!
Pete Thorn Couldn't agree more Pete, we're living a golden age for gear! :) I myself have a custom p2p amp getting built 2015, 4-channels with everything from Dumble and JM TwoRock clean circuits, to Friedman BE, to more hard rock and metal than you can shake a stick at :P Add to that the plethora of great pedals out there, my oh my! On the other hand though, as the rainbow of great tones expand, I find myself always looking for that next shade of "great", it's almost too much to choose from :) PS. One amp I do need to try (but that you won't find up here in Northern Sweden for sure) is your PT100! Thanks again for all the great vids and playing, you're a constant source of inspiration :)
This guy could sell unpolished turds with his demos! Seriously, though, this is a great demo of the DS1X; a buddy of mine has one and I'm pretty impressed to hear an unmodded Boss pedal sound so good. Definitely warrants a good look. Thanks, Pete!
I know I'm like 6 years late, but oh my god I want both those pedals. I have the originals, but these sound so much better. And I'm also sold on the Suhr T with 'buckers. AND what excellent playing, as always.
My all time favorite tone as a teenager in the 1980s and my limited knowledge on gear was my 1981 Marshall JCM 800 and my OD1. 1977 with the 16 prong jrc4558 I think? And my 1972 Les All Custom with WCR Handwound p/ups I installed in the 1990s. I didn't realize how good my original Les Paul p/ups were. We learn as we go. Great stuff Pete!
I don't know how people researched equipment purchases before these interwebs came along. You have THE BEST product reviews out there. Thanks for what you do. To show my appreciation for your thorough service, I bought your latest CD. The nuance and variety in your playing and tone and your killer technique makes it so engaging, I can't get enough.
10years later DS1X is still my fave dirt pedal and tone shaping ability is near perfect and pairing it with Donner Dumbal drive to get some of the so called umf factor and fatten it all up. I do thing it has a super cool ability to TIGHTEN the attack of your entire pedal board I dont know what it is, but I dig it.
Hey There Pete You have the best pedal demos on RUclips because you actually know what your playing and we get to hear worthy original compositions on the fly.Keep up the good work and long live real Rock&Roll!!!!!!!!!!
ok the DS1X is a totally different beast, I need to get my hands on that little bastard.. was gonna go for the Revv g3 but it's over kill for the kind of music I play (punk rock, grunge)
Pete Thorn is a very talented professional, and I do like to watch his demo's to see what, if anything, I can pick up technique-wise, if indeed I could even do it. I also like that he's more of the "old school" type of rocker .... good tones, and less "flashy" speed just for the sake of it, with more emphasis on musical phrasing. This is the truly inspiring aspect of his playing that attracts an older fellow like me. Having said this, I just have to say that most all of these demo's sound pretty much exactly alike. I've heard Pete demo pedals and amps, and it really doesn't matter what the device is, because everything sounds the same. Most likely, this is due to his studio configuration, and how the sound is conditioned for playing into computer software, with the attendant studio tailoring of the output - compression, EQ'ing, filtering, etc. This is no doubt deliberate, as he wants the final sound to be "appealing" to the listening market who are the ones buying all of this gear, and supporting his sponsorship. This type of processed "fusion / rock" sound is the current ear candy, and draws many players into the fold. I would like to see demo's of gear that is reproduced in a natural, open-air environment, so that the particular product being demo'ed can be heard the way it REALLY sounds in a live situation. It's okay to pump a signal into a processed rig, because many folks do it that way; but for the many players like me who emphasize real, live sound, it's basically impossible to tell what an amp or pedal really SOUNDS like, because a signal can be processed into anything, and the result can make a $100 pedal sound like a $3000 amp. That's the fundamental problem with today's "generic" processed studio sounds.
11:14 is the most musical "Boston-esque" pick slide I've ever heard!! Had to rewind several times to see what you're doing differently than other players. Looks like you're sliding your left hand up the frets while scraping the pick a surprisingly short distance just over the pickups. It's a weird thing to comment on, (I know) but you've obviously mastered the technique! Great demo of these smooth sounding pedals, Pete. I need a DS1X now!
Yes! Thank you! I've been trying to find a distortion or an overdrive. I commented about the jhs sweet combo to see if I can get a good distortion, but also that gives a lighter side for chord progress. But that ds1x does exactly what I was looking for. A great distortion that doesn't drown out your melody. The beetles chord progression you did is what sold me letting them ring because I've been writing music letting my chords ring out and the distortions I've been using kill the notes. I hate it. Haha! Getting mine on pay day. You're the best, pete! Glad I found your channel.
That "Beatley" progression sounded like Kings X. Love your demos Pete! Very thorough and professional and I highly respect what you do and how you do it! Keep up the great videos!
Excellent demo! I already own the DS-1X and it works and sounds Great. I've been shopping around for an Overdrive Equivalent to dial down the rough edges in other parts of my music. The OD-1X seems the Logical choice, given that it has the same Attack Sensitive Circuitry as it's Distortion Counterpart. This Video really helped Me finalize My decision. Thanks again.
In my main pedal board I primarily use a mix of the Bogner Ecstasy Red and a Pigtronix Fat Drive, but in my little portable board for school I have an SD-1 with a ProCo Rat to boost it. As much as the OD-1X sounds great the price is just a little too steep for an upgrade over my SD-1 which still gets the job done. My SD-1 was the best $30 I ever spent haha!
Very impressive , will have to check these out for sure . They sound quite natural too considering the digital processing that is in these..very nice !
Excellent demo. Take a OD1X into a Marshall 2204 with the Amp gain on 10:00, turn up the master and play the OD1X with pedal gain about 3:00 KILLER. Turn the pedal off and have a great clean sound that can do funk or strumming. I don't like this pedal into a very over driven amp the pedal sounds amazing with a amp just slightly overdriven. The pedal's distortion is so good it will compete with most boutique amps front end and then get you a clean sound too with a single channel amp.
Thanks for the great videos Pete, been pulling my hair out on deciding which distortion pedals are for me but your videos keep me sane. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually and these videos are fantastic for picky guys like myself who don't have the benefit of a music store with a broad selection of equipment to try. I truly appreciate this as I've wasted both time and money looking in wrong directions. Hope you continue to be a great influence.
Great demo Pete, They both sound really good. I after 5 listens I think I like the OD1x best. And Pete I gotta say man that was some fantastic playing.
gy the DA does, adding thickness to my Yamaha Pacifica 112V neck pup tone..., by the way the Da is aawsome..., Digital pedals...Solid State amps... aye recipe for disaster? hopefully not, Cheers ; Kimmo
Best demo yet. I really needed to hear that to make my decision. I will be purchasing both pedals. You are truly an asset to youtube. Thanks Pete. By the way i purchased your music on itunes. Awesome stuff!!!
Not usually a fan of Boss Drive pedals, but both were great and I can see the DS1x being paired with an EQ for massive sounds. Again, superb demo Pete, I'll make sure I call you for an audition when I put the touring band together :0p
Awesome playing as always! I bought one after watching this video and It did sound great. I like the way it makes the sound of your guitar so balanced almost no need for quick flick to treble mode on my guitar to emphasize higher registers for solo. It is very dynamic, i leave it on all the time. I just roll off the volume knob for clean sound. Tone control works great for using different amps. seems to me there is a presence feature integrated with the high knob. Ds1x has the low end chug im looking for with drive pedals and it doesn't sound thin on high volumes.
You have the most professional,laid back way of posting demos I have ever seen.When I see a video by Pete Thorn I immediately watch it. Your work with Chris Cornell and Ian Thornley are out of this world. Your choice of amps,pedals and guitars are of the highest caliber of taste!! I have been playing guitar for Thirty years and I would die for the sweet tones that you produce from your amps,guitars and fingertips!! Ok,with the compliments out of the way I use a Maxon OD 808 overdrive pedal which I think is best but how do you think the Boss overdrive compares? Have ever even played through a Maxon OD 808? Anyways looking forward to your lessons!! 😃
That OD pedal sounds great man,the distortion does as well but I never use any distortion pedals,but that OD pedal,I definitely would buy one of those.
Hi Pete...Have tryed bouth pedals together and blend them like for example nova pedal from Tc works ? Would be intresting to hear how it works together...thanks for you videos..👍
Really excellent explanations and synopsis's, obviously someone with a ton of expereince with different pedals etc having been tried/used etc, *** the best person to give opinion on gear on you tube! When I look up produc t reviews I a dd Pete Thorn to the search list, best 'opinion and advice by yonks' Thanks again brother
Nice review. Thanks for all your work and I love your playing style. Sometimes I wish your demo songs would keep going but I know you have to stop to discuss the product. Keep up the good work , I'm a big fan !! Thanks
You're playing very well! The hardware is less than 20% of your overall sound. You have sensitive ear and good guitar skills. Thanks Pete for this video!
very nice demo pete..... a question ... if i have a overdrive and a distortion pedal, which one i put first in the line ... ? ... and why ??... i have 4 example...OD-- DIST ---> AMP
Im starting to sound like a broken record here, I know, but the way you play, your style and technique is just insanely rock solid. Truly inspirational. As for the pedals... theres something about the OD1x that sounds odd to me. Very airy or something. Odd in a good way. The DS1x has that instant wow factor. I really like that one. Cool demo as always. Thank you, sir.
I didn't know you can use amps with studio monitors. sounds like a cab. the ds-1 x and od-1 x are really great sounding. but I don't need it coz I'm happy with my standard ds-1
I'm kind of reluctant to buying a pedal based on these demos. Not because they're bad. In fact I think they are probably the best demos out there. The problem is that almost anything sounds good on Pete's rig. That being said. These are demos of how good a piece of gear can sound given that you have Pete's gear and hands.
Looking for a pedal I can use for moderate distortion on rhythm work but then will also work OK when I kick in a Big Muff for lead work (similar to what j Mascis likes to do with the Muff boosted for leads). Any recommendations? Love the Big Muff but it doesn't always play well with other pedals.
Thanks Pete for these outstanding demos! Cool to hear all different kinds of guitars through the same pedals. Your playing is very inspiring to me as well!

6 years later, these two boss pedals are still my fave dirt pedals for great tone, good job pete!
Love the OD1X.
I have this one and sounds so good. I used it as a clean boost as well, just a question. Is there any other clean boost pedals better than this?
@@shelo0828 boss ge7
Getting ds1x this week,hope it cleans to get od3 like blues tones lowering guitar volume
I've seen Pete live many times. He knows tone, he's tasteful, well spoken and genuine. Trust his assessments, you'll save a lot of money and disappointment. Great hair too. 😎👍
I still have my original DS-1 from back in 1980. Good to see Boss still in the running.
You're a real class act, Pete. Your playing is always amazing, yet it doesn't get in the way of your demos. I always come away from your videos feeling like I really learned something. All the best, mate - you deserve it!
I Honestly feel like your playing has become extraordinarily dynamic and harmonically rich in your recent demos. Thanks.
Hey thanks!! i appreciate that a lot.
And almost a decade later (2023) and he keeps getting better!
@Joe-mz6dc Yes! I was gonna say, as great as he was back then, he's even better now 💥
to this day, these two pedals are my favorite tones pete ever demonstrated boss rules and pete does to
7 years of this vid and OD1x still my fav (would like to buy a Plumes soon too)
Pete - I get pumped when I get an email stating you have posted a demo. You are the best and demoing products and your playing is amazing! Each of your "demo songs" is like a hit as well! Thanks so much for sharing with the rest of us! You rock man!

Thanks again for all the great vids and playing, you're a constant source of inspiration :)
Pete Thorn Man you have expert precision. Really consistent playing!
The Belgian’s make some great tone and the best part, you can make some tasty waffles too, which is nice.
I'm STILL trying to dial in my vacuum cleaner. It's definitely not as easy as people think, these home appliances.
This guy could sell unpolished turds with his demos! Seriously, though, this is a great demo of the DS1X; a buddy of mine has one and I'm pretty impressed to hear an unmodded Boss pedal sound so good. Definitely warrants a good look. Thanks, Pete!
tonepoet thanks!
Actually, he'd probably sell more if he did it with a patch over his eye like pirate.
Kelley White
Seriously. He should wear an eye patch. It would be different, don't you think?
That ds1x was impressive. Was not expecting that
Beautifully composed melodies that showcase the power of these two BOSS pedals. Cheers! 😊
any pedal on your hands ... become in a letal weappon .. you are the top master Pete .. congratulation man!! great talent
A hug from Chile 🇨🇱
Just got the DS-1X ,Phase Shifter PH 3 & the CE -2w at a pawn shop in Marshall TX for 200 bucks. Lovedin it.
I know I'm like 6 years late, but oh my god I want both those pedals. I have the originals, but these sound so much better. And I'm also sold on the Suhr T with 'buckers. AND what excellent playing, as always.
Never too late to watch the master of sound ;)
@@Xyrium Can't argue with that!
the ds1x not so much, but i sold the od1x and want it back
Ibelieve it’s Impossible to go wrong with BOSS anything.
The DS-1 was the very first pedal I ever had. That was 30 years ago! Thanks for the the demo Pete!
My all time favorite tone as a teenager in the 1980s and my limited knowledge on gear was my 1981 Marshall JCM 800 and my OD1. 1977 with the 16 prong jrc4558 I think? And my 1972 Les All Custom with WCR Handwound p/ups I installed in the 1990s. I didn't realize how good my original Les Paul p/ups were. We learn as we go. Great stuff Pete!
Great that good old boss gets the Pete Thorn treatment, nice to see an affordable quality pedal as well as the boutique stuff.
Thanks Pete
thanks!
I don't know how people researched equipment purchases before these interwebs came along. You have THE BEST product reviews out there. Thanks for what you do. To show my appreciation for your thorough service, I bought your latest CD. The nuance and variety in your playing and tone and your killer technique makes it so engaging, I can't get enough.
hey thanks Bruce!
Great demos, great playing, both technical and musical. Thanks for sharing your work.
Great demo, look at the way Peter hits the guitar, both hand make incredible sound.
I tried the OD-1X in the store and was happy to hear it sounded very good there as well as in your demo. I'll be picking one up soon.
10years later DS1X is still my fave dirt pedal and tone shaping ability is near perfect and pairing it with Donner Dumbal drive to get some of the so called umf factor and fatten it all up.
I do thing it has a super cool ability to TIGHTEN the attack of your entire pedal board I dont know what it is, but I dig it.
Wow! I loved the way you rocked that Gibson 335!!
the bit with the 335 was AWESOME! by the end of all these demos i have stopped caring about the product and am just watching you play.
You have a knack of making everything sound good Pete - guess I'll have to buy everything you demo!!!
Hey There Pete You have the best pedal demos on RUclips because you actually know what your playing and we get to hear worthy original compositions on the fly.Keep up the good work and long live real Rock&Roll!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
ok the DS1X is a totally different beast, I need to get my hands on that little bastard.. was gonna go for the Revv g3 but it's over kill for the kind of music I play (punk rock, grunge)
That Suhr T is to die for. The new shape headstock, arm contour, the colour etc... !
it is a real cool guitar! It's cool to get the headstock painted body color, except the little shelf- get that done black. Good lookin!
Pete Thorn is a very talented professional, and I do like to watch his demo's to see what, if anything, I can pick up technique-wise, if indeed I could even do it.

Great demo of these smooth sounding pedals, Pete. I need a DS1X now!
that's a total Van Halen move, that i copped and now I do it all the time, ha. I loved it too, had to learn it! it's all over "Running With The Devil"
Now I know what I'm working on for the next year...
The tone of your Gil Yaron Les Paul is on another level!
Excellent Demo, and the playing is as always phenomenal!
Absolutely enjoy watching all of your Demos.
I don't think it matters what pedals or guitars he uses, it'll still sound killer!!! Great job Pete!
half the time I come here just to watch Pete play. Just awesome, the pedals are good too :)
man, your ds1x shredding is my favorite song now!
Yes! Thank you! I've been trying to find a distortion or an overdrive. I commented about the jhs sweet combo to see if I can get a good distortion, but also that gives a lighter side for chord progress. But that ds1x does exactly what I was looking for.

That "Beatley" progression sounded like Kings X. Love your demos Pete! Very thorough and professional and I highly respect what you do and how you do it! Keep up the great videos!
Love me some Kings X!
Pete Thorn Oh man, if you could do a "how to get a classic Kings X tone" video…
Fantastic sound ds1X
Excellent demo! I already own the DS-1X and it works and sounds Great. I've been shopping around for an Overdrive Equivalent to dial down the rough edges in other parts of my music. The OD-1X seems the Logical choice, given that it has the same Attack Sensitive Circuitry as it's Distortion Counterpart. This Video really helped Me finalize My decision. Thanks again.
Wow, you are a master of changing your volume and pickup selection mid lick. Pretty cool.
In my main pedal board I primarily use a mix of the Bogner Ecstasy Red and a Pigtronix Fat Drive, but in my little portable board for school I have an SD-1 with a ProCo Rat to boost it. As much as the OD-1X sounds great the price is just a little too steep for an upgrade over my SD-1 which still gets the job done. My SD-1 was the best $30 I ever spent haha!
Pete Thorn = best demos on RUclips ;)
Yes, that was bad ass! I have the OD version and its great, you just convinced me the DS is now mandatory as well!
Hi! try to get the DA-2 used, WAY better then the DS-1X ! Im loving my OD-1X, what a great full sounding drive...!!
Very impressive , will have to check these out for sure . They sound quite natural too considering the digital processing that is in these..very nice !
Excellent demo. Take a OD1X into a Marshall 2204 with the Amp gain on 10:00, turn up the master and play the OD1X with pedal gain about 3:00 KILLER. Turn the pedal off and have a great clean sound that can do funk or strumming. I don't like this pedal into a very over driven amp the pedal sounds amazing with a amp just slightly overdriven. The pedal's distortion is so good it will compete with most boutique amps front end and then get you a clean sound too with a single channel amp.
Drop D riffing sounds so cool on an overdriven Strat!
Somehow missed seeing this video, great to see how the song started out... love the full version on the LP.
Thanks for the great videos Pete, been pulling my hair out on deciding which distortion pedals are for me but your videos keep me sane. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually and these videos are fantastic for picky guys like myself who don't have the benefit of a music store with a broad selection of equipment to try. I truly appreciate this as I've wasted both time and money looking in wrong directions. Hope you continue to be a great influence.
Great intro song, as usual. Glad I check out footage of Chris Cornell in tour back then, because he had a pretty amazing guitar player.
Awesome Demo, I love your playing and your tone!
I like the clean setting so I can hear that '66 Bassman. Sounds so good.
Great demo Pete, They both sound really good. I after 5 listens I think I like the OD1x best. And Pete I gotta say man that was some fantastic playing.
thanks a million Pete, i have the BOSS DA- 2, I have th OD.1x arriving these days, hoping itlldo the samish thin
gy the DA does, adding thickness to my Yamaha Pacifica 112V neck pup tone..., by the way the Da is aawsome..., Digital pedals...Solid State amps... aye recipe for disaster? hopefully not, Cheers ; Kimmo
great demo Pete! superb playing too
The OD1x sounds fantastic! Might be a breakthrough in digital distortion, have to check it out!
Pete you kill it every time
Outstanding once again
Best demo yet. I really needed to hear that to make my decision. I will be purchasing both pedals. You are truly an asset to youtube. Thanks Pete.
By the way i purchased your music on itunes. Awesome stuff!!!
Excellent demo, Pete. Thanks.
Man the od1x and the plexi sound killer I will have to get this combo In my kemper
I definitely like the way you're playing
Sounds great. I didn't notice the annoying DS1 original volume drop which is alone a huge victory.
Best demos ever,.......
........EVER I SAY!!!
Excellent demo! Best I've seen of these new pedals. Keep it up!
Not usually a fan of Boss Drive pedals, but both were great and I can see the DS1x being paired with an EQ for massive sounds. Again, superb demo Pete, I'll make sure I call you for an audition when I put the touring band together :0p
hey Pete ......you should do a " who is Pete thorn " video....maybe reel in some nooks to your awesome world of tone screaming goodness
Pete, you could have ended demo at 1:18... I was sold by that point!
Awesome playing as always!
I bought one after watching this video and It did sound great. I like the way it makes the sound of your guitar so balanced almost no need for quick flick to treble mode on my guitar to emphasize higher registers for solo.

Hi Shawn, thanks so much! I haven't compared the OD1X to a TS-type. But The EQ is quite versatile on the OD1X so maybe you could get it close.
What an incredibly talented guitarist. Those pedals rock also :)
That OD pedal sounds great man,the distortion does as well but I never use any distortion pedals,but that OD pedal,I definitely would buy one of those.
awesome,love the demos..thank you pete..
Oops & a bottle of Willie Nelson Whiskey River with his embossed pick. Love’n it.
Thanks Pete!
How cool are these pedals! Good job Boss
You are awesome!!! Just love your style and performance)
Killer demo & amazing playing, as always!!
Hi Pete...Have tryed bouth pedals together and blend them like for example nova pedal from Tc works ? Would be intresting to hear how it works together...thanks for you videos..👍
Really excellent explanations and synopsis's, obviously someone with a ton of expereince with different pedals etc having been tried/used etc, *** the best person to give opinion on gear on you tube!

Thanks again brother
Nice review. Thanks for all your work and I love your playing style. Sometimes I wish your demo songs would keep going but I know you have to stop to discuss the product. Keep up the good work , I'm a big fan !! Thanks
Man, I had never seen your videos, this is the first one, I love your style, I wish I could play like you.
thanks Victor!
Nice man those petals sound amazing. Oh and awesome playing as well. Keep it up
Awesome demo as usual Pete, cheers. I've been running an SD1 for YEARS but the clarity on the OD1X might demand an upgrade.
Great demo Pete, would love to see a demo on the Shur T.
Fantastic demo. Thanks!
You're playing very well! The hardware is less than 20% of your overall sound. You have sensitive ear and good guitar skills. Thanks Pete for this video!
very nice demo pete..... a question ...
if i have a overdrive and a distortion pedal, which one i put first in the line ... ? ... and why ??...

Looking for a pedal I can use for moderate distortion on rhythm work but then will also work OK when I kick in a Big Muff for lead work (similar to what j Mascis likes to do with the Muff boosted for leads). Any recommendations? Love the Big Muff but it doesn't always play well with other pedals.
damn....your playing and what you play sells the product... ask for MORE!
I wish I could like this video over and over again. Really loving those clean ups and palm muting. It's as what Pete described
great in depth review - very helpful - cheers
Wow, these sound great!
Thanks Pete for these outstanding demos! Cool to hear all different kinds of guitars through the same pedals. Your playing is very inspiring to me as well!
thanks!
Hey Pete, killer demo as always! Curious how you think the OD1x would pair with the Badger 30?
really well I'd guess!
oooooh that fender strat sings soooo well!
Dude can flat out play. Makes everything sound like the Holy Grail.
That OD-1x is a killer pedal.
