man I love these videos, I get so excited every time I see there is a new one because not only do I think Pete Thorn is one of the greatest guitarists I will ever hear in my lifetime but its like with every video not only am I getting to see the best pedal demo you could ask for but I am also getting tone lessons from the tone master himself. I really do feel like I have learned so much about the relationship between your guitar, your pedals, and your amp just by watching these. you really are the man Pete.
Pete.. you are an absolutely brilliant player.. you put out super music in every demo.. thanks for these videos!
Castles made of sand! Cool Hendrix riff. I really dig Pete's demo's and playing!
That Hendrix was spot on, that is really as close to that tone as one could get. Great pete
My friend has this pedal. Our guitar teacher has a real Klon, and has had it for over a decade, and gave it his approval, saying it was just as good as the realio dealio.
Pete Thorn, that phrase at 0.34.... I'm transcribing that MONSTER lick jeje. Thank you !
Loving the Castles Made Of Sand intro. Great tone.
Thanks Fred!
This is THE Klone imo. The Soul Food is pretty good, the Archer is absolutely brilliant!
I've got to stop watching your pedal demos...now I need one of these too!
Gorgeous tone.
Steven Familo Thanks!
Had to buy the icon.sounds great.
I know your playing style has a lot to do with the tone of any setup, but that is one of the best sounding Overdrives I have heard on RUclips... Great job!!
What an awesome demo. I've had my eye on this pedal for a while but now I'm certainly going to find one as soon as I can.
Daniel Powers Thanks Daniel!
Hey Pete - I appreciate your taking the time to make such well done demos. Both the quality of the recording and the applicability of how you show products are first rate, not to mention the playing. Ordered Guitar Nerd a couple of days ago. Review to follow.... (Joking). Best wishes. Please keep them coming.
Rick Milam thanks!
This pedal is work so great with those Brit style amp. I have one with a Bogner Xtc and it's perfect! Great demo.
Great emotion and intensity, love watching you play. Going behind the fretting hand to drag a triad up a tone in the heat of battle is all class. Sweet Mate :-)
Awesome as always Pete!
Sam Coulson Thanks Sam!
Pete Thorn How would you compare this pedal to the Carl Martin Plexi Tone? I like 80's George Lynch, VH, Scorpions tones.
Joe R in ya butt boy!
d
james brewer You fucking loser. That is the best response that you have? Lol!
I love Rockett products I have an old Flex Drive, that is still on my board and will never leave. I may have to check this one out, thanks Pete for the AWESOME demo.
thanks!
Bro. The pedal is sweet, but i got so in to your playing, i totally forgot i came here to listen to the pedal, lol. I dig your style brother! 🤘🏼
Amazing tones! Love your demos. Pete!
I got myself one of these pedals, basically using it for rhythm guitar into the front of my amp and hitting it pretty hard...sounds GREAT!!! thanks for the great demo. Really helped me out.
Great demo Pete. I think this pedal improves the tone in every scenario you laid out. I can't think of many pedals that are so versatile application-wise. Thanks for taking time out from being a guitar hero to make these demos.
TheParanoidAndroid79 Thanks! Ya I'm a fan of the Archer, just a great pedal!
Just wanted to say that Pete is just awesome! Love your videos and gear reviews - magic!
Thanks!!!
EXCELLENT PETE!!!! Great Playing & Very Instructive & Cool Vid!!!! THANKS MAN!!!! I Bought this Pedal!!!! YAY!!!!
Can't wait for your new album!
I love how the first but is a rock-soulful music video of am effects pedal. Only you could do that so well Pete. Haha great video, thanks
thanks!
Always enjoy your playing, thanks
christopher Thompson Thanks Christopher!
Thanks Pete for another great video !
Those klon circuits make humbuckers sound so good. It doesn't sound as good with single coils to me for some reason.
Dang, that archer sounded really nice with the Les Paul
Sounds a bit like a Hartman pedal. Tasy, never shrill or overly abrasive. i like it!
Finally a pedal that I own, haha! Awesome review as always Pete!
I use one of the Silver Archers into a Tumnus deluxe just to get a few more harmonics without too much distortion. Mostly for color. Very nice
Very cool! One thing about the Archer pedal is, once you turn the drive just past 2:00 you loose bottom end of your sound and the tone becomes more bright and "nasally" sounding which is why you don't see the drive over 12:00 throughout this demo.
I have noticed that it does lose bottom end and gets nasally when I turn the drive past 2. Really bums me out. It seems that doesn't happen on some of these demos like pro guitar shops. Still a great pedal and I mostly use as a clean boost.
I sent mine back but cool pedal though for Klon fans. :)
+sargentppeper: What's your OD pedal of choice now?
+Monty Cantsin I still love the Archer. I'm playing through a Mesa Express + 5:50. I'll use the blues channel gain about 2 o clock and set the archer output at 12 o clock gain at 9 o clock and treble at 12 as well. I've had the Archer for a couple months now and am still learning how to actually use it. From what I can tell it's not a use alone overdrive. Just my opinion. I also have a fulltone OCD and EQD Palisades. As of right now they are all my favorite. How about you?
I've got a Fulltone OCD as well and of course, it's an excellent pedal. However, I have thought about getting an Archer just for something slightly different (i.e. something that's not a TS9-type pedal) but it's a tough choice given the sheer amount of OD pedals out there. Can you maybe elaborate a little on why you think the Archer is not a use alone overdrive?
Another awesome demo Pete, thanks! Also, have you ever thought of releasing a tutorial DVD? Something kinda like the old REH videos back in the day. I always end up replaying your videos to learn your licks and riffs. I know your busy guy, but just wanted to throw it out there. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested.
the low gain settings are very appealing to me
I have question :
Does the Archer compare with a Nobes OD 1 ...???
Dude, give me the skinny on those pickups on your bucker Suhr already…. ;-)
They sound great…!
Great demo!
Very cool demo!
hey Pete, can you demo a blues jr using different overdrives ans distortions? thanks for all your vids, incredible job!
Hi. I have this pedal but I don't like it. For me, it does nothing but boost the volume. But maybe that's bc I play through a Fender Bassman and I don't want to play at very loud volumes... Had this experience with other pedals into a fender amp. If the amp is >30 Watts and you don't want to turn that volume up, many pedals are not capable of "overdriving" the tone.
Dam, sounds fantastic.
I love your demos.
I was hoping you would answer the pick question also. I just got a hold of a Dragonheart pick, its thicker than I would normally use but it gives me such a big, defined sound. It almost sounds like your using a similar thick pic.
I generally use Dunlop Ultex .73
Pete... I seem to pick up on a soaring Steve Vai sort of vibe in your playing. Love how you can turn on a dime in terms of the style you are playing. Thanks for the videos....
I have it and I love it.
Hey Pete, love this demo, man; great job -- but then again, all of your demos are EXCELLENT! I was wondering if you could comment on -- Klon "clones" -- there are so many on the market. Have you actually demo'ed the real deal, and which "clone" (or "clones) get THE CLOSEST? This one is tempting b/c of the price to pickup, but was just curious about your thoughts about which clone is closest... Thx man! BGD PS: LOVE your Suhr factory live videos (esp Groomed Noodler); wish we could see MORE live songs like that from ya; I've listened to that a bazillion times!
Ha I guess this is the 3rd Pedal I bought just because of your awesome reviews Pete
:)
That's why I stopped playin cuz when I watch and actually listen to ur music and tone it puts my shit to useless and shame keep rockin bro!!!!
Austin Harrison
If I remember correctly it was Viktor Wooten who said "If someone says he quit playin because he has seen me...it is not really a compliment"
You are fantastic guitar player and please Can you the second part the pedalboard :)?
Thk!!
Suena tremendo!!! Realy good
How can you tell what it sounds like, with all of the other effects? What's the point?
Great video!
What's the difference between the gold and silver version?
Awesome demo and great tune/playing as always. Love the lead tone you're getting here. When you switch to the LP it just gets better! BTW, what is that LP style guitar you're playing?
tWreCK51 It's a Scala Underdog
Pete, great tone! Do you know if this Silver Archer has the silicon or Germanium diodes?
Germanian diodes.from what I read.
Love the sound you're getting from the archer here. Question: have you ever tried the ferraglide graphtech saddles on a strat? My anderson classic came with ferraglides and I think it kinda sucks some tone if you're not a really high gain player.. I have the current steel saddles coming from anderson now in the mail.
Nice playing!
Sweet chops guy!
TheCrimsontwister thanks!
Pete,the neck sound its absolutely fantastic! what pickups set you use in this guitar? Grazie Ciao
Mauro
Hey Pete, Appreciate your reviews here and value your ear. I have an Animal OD in my board and love the openness/organic nature of it.. just wish it had a bit more midrange fatness at times - do you think the Archer would be a good pedal to try - what's your feelings about one vs. the other (since you've demo'd and used both). Thanks!
I think the Archer would sound great stacked into the Animal
Very cool Pete!
Do you have a demo of the hand wired vox behind you?
I've got the little 4 watt and love it.
Best demos on the net!
stewart keyes Not specifically of that amp, but I use it in many recent pedal demos...
Hey Pete,
Possible if we could have a tour on how you do these RUclips videos?
Such as what programme you used to record the audio, which video software as well as the steps and procedure and how long you take? Thank you! :)
I use logic for audio and Final Cut for video. I sort of think everyone needs to develop their own process for doing stuff tike this, I learned by trial and error really.
Always great
Greetings Pete, question: What kind of picks do you prefer. I dig your tone, and I know it's all in the hands, but still... Thanks for the video's, most appreciated.
Dunlop Ultex .73, I really like those!
Pete Thorn Thanks for the reply, Pete. Thinner than I would have thought. It's true the Ultex picks do feel nice! And hey if you ever want to get rid of any Stymon pedals send me a message :) Take care and thanks again for all the great video's and insight, and playing! regards, Jeff
Hi Pete, nice job man! Best regards from brazil! What is the model of this guitar? I thinking about buy one of these.. Thanks man, you rock!
Matheus Tiberio Hi Matheus, it's a Suhr Standard- mahogany neck and body with a rosewood board and thornbucker pickups
Can you please play more with strat?
Great tone, Pete. As always.
Can you tell me, is it true bypass?
I really love the sound of your strat. Is it your personal instrument?
yessir, I bought it in Nashville almost 10 years ago
From Gruhn's or Carter's??
Carter wasn't around until 2012! I don't know where Pete's strat came from, but it wasn't from Walter Carter!
Nice playing! What model is the Suhr guitar that you are using?
Fucking dirty playing. Tasty city!
Hi Pete,
What amp you using with the Archer Pedal?
This demo is so baddass!
Thanks Mick :)
Awesome.. Pete-what's your favourite scale to use?
Archer or Tulmus? Someone tell me quick, I ve been offered the latter in exchange for stg else...
+Emre Emre both are nice and I have never actually done a direct comparison
Kind of you to take time Pete... I liked the sounds on your Archer video better for some reason...
Nice job. The pedal is true by-pass? Thanks from Portugal..
Phill PT It's buffered bypass. There is a buffer in a klon circuit that is always on.
where is the Pete Thorn overdrive distortion? cmon suhr!
Is this going to tighten up metal chugs?
Is there a backing track to this, Pete?
What mic pre's do you use or are you still using the torpedo?
This is the Suhr Reactive load, line out into my UA Apollo interface
Is it also "buffered"?
What was his setup on this video?
HI Pete，what year of your fender? very taste!
Sam Chan 1964!
What is that Les Paul?
What is that les paul style guitar?
Scala Underdog
Come on guys, stop saying a mild crunch sound is clean and then using the pedal as a boost. How about use a real clean tone and use the pedal with the gain mostly up.
My SL68.. that's just how it sounds :) It's pretty clean in the first examples, but it IS a plexi, not a Jazz Chorus. Besides, no one uses Klon-types that way :) They sound best with the gain below half, and the output up a bit, driving an amp that is on the edge of breakup.
Hi Pete, how would you compare Vermuram Jan Ray to a Rockett Archer?
Ural Emekci Hmm The Jan Ray is probably sort of darker and more of a drive, specifically, less of a clean boost/drive
Beautiful pedal…but…you play always better….!…. :-)
all of his demos sound the same to me...pretty useless
so stop watching it, cause if you cant hear the difference between archer and carl martin plexi tone in the sound it's pretty useless.
+Adam Stańczak infact this was the second and last time I watched his demos. good day man!
so you watched two videos and deemed all his demos to sound the same? haha
I've never understood taking the time to comment negatively when obviously thousands of people are digging what's happening. Pretty petulant behavior haha.
