Pete I don’t know how you keep producing these awesome tunes, you’re not only the demo king but fast becoming the riff king too. Just excellent man, well done!
Excellent demo. My Bro brought this pedal around to my place last night and frankly I am stunned how we Boss did with this pedal. It sounds awesome; great dynamics and ability to clean it up with the volume control. Truly an advance in dirt-box technology under the hood here.
Absolutely the most musical and enjoyable vids on YT. In such a short span of time there's so many "Thorn-isms" that highlight your signature style it's incredible. Love this pedal demo!
I can't say enough good things about this pedal. It smokes on the green channel of my 50w EVH for edge of breakup tones, and of course full on drive tones as well, so versatile. The added bonus of having a 'mid' control you would not otherwise get on the original Boss pedals is awesome. I think the EQ is active, i dunno, it just feels more responsive and more dynamic in range than the pedals. I love the X-drive as it responds to how you dig in and stays articulate, never gets mushy.
Yet more proof that Boss is the king of pedals. I totally dig this unit and it will be my next overdrive pedal. A great hybrid of analog and digital flexibility.
You mention the power stack in this demo, funny enough I bought one yrs ago off your demo of it and I still use it. Nice demo of that pedal may have to grab this one.
Pete it's as if you know as when your listeners are thinking: man play that comparison again:.. Which you were doing as I was watching. Excellent demo, well produced and a very great sounding boss pedal. I'm not surprised by that fact a great pedal and a well-presented video by Pete Thorn! This put me over the top as I was considering buying one of these thanks for helping me make up my mind. Sold! thank you sir
I love this pedal I've had it for almost a year. I use it in the fx loop on my amp and use to to run distortion X-dist with a slight hint of fuzz then boost it while running the built in noise gate. Sounds mean and brutal with only 2 pedals. My boost I use is a Guuptech GRINDR.
OMG, I kid you not, Pete...my birthday is in two weeks and THIS pedal is #1 on my wish list! Your timing to review this could not be better! Now...if only my wife and kids follow my list 🤞
Man i was searching for midi drive pedals n i didnt know this exist. Now with Plethora x5 n Bigsky on my board i dont need a loop switch, simple midi controller will do all the work. Thanks 🍻
RUSH represent! ;) Tasty tones! Thank you again for sharing Always had a Blues Driver, loved the Power Stack but thats been discontinued for awhile, will have to check this out
Wow - the Archer comparison is awesome. Good grief Pete just when I thought i wont be buying another drive pedal for a while - you do this to me - Order going in tomorrow. :)
That is pretty sweet, wish they would make an ADA MP-1 in a pedal like that. The programmable capabilities in a preamp format really makes a lot of sense.
Hey Pete. You mentioned that the two X modes are digital are the rest of the sounds analog. Looks like a fantastic unit. Thanks for the killer demo as always
I’m not actually sure which modes are digital and which ones are analog actually. But that’s OK, I just sort of went by what sounds best to me and most useful
Apparently I've been seeing this video before, but I probably was in bed, half asleep, so first of all: Excellent playing as usual! In the light of the Boss IR-200 that is coming out, this pedal makes a good pair for a totally MIDI-switchable base rig-in-a-box.
@Pete I bought the od200 and it sounds amazing! There is a pretty big problem though : the on/off status is not stored in the memory location. This means that, especially when using it in midi with other effects, it always turns on when changing memory. Say you want to have a clean sound on #3, and turn on the od on the solo, well you cannot. As soon as you change memory number the pedal turns on. This makes having memories somewhat useless. It seems so trivial to add this with an update... it would be si awesome if you could ask Boss!
Pete is a great guitar player that truly plays guitar, but most of all, knows how to use he’s gear regardless of the brand, instead of the gears using him.. There’s a reason why manufacturers pound he’s door for demo reviews and tour endorsements... I’m a big Pete Thorn fan here in southern Cali.👍🏼
One of my all time beast favorites. The hi-res spec's really finish it off. The EQ is active and noiseless almost which gives you so much more than passive eq's... Great video as always. The one stumbling block having is changing to 5 and up memory locations? Have asked all over and still all I can do is to get there hold the memory down and turn the parameter knob and get there but it is flashing like I am writing to the channel instead of just trying to switch to it?? Driving me crazy.....
@@PeteThorn Yeah, Jason Falkner, Jon Brion, Lyle Workman, Daniel Lanois. All of those dudes can make an open G chord sound so much better than me!!! INFURIATING!! ;) You're the man Pete. Hope you're doing well!
Hi Pete have you tried the Positive Grid Bias pedals, I have all three they are fantastic, I have them running in conjunction with my Bias Head Processor through a Headrush FRFR12 and a Rocktron Midimate , and the Distortion pedal is immense, and this BOSS pedal looks very similar
Great vid.. probably getting one... what are you using A) to hold the pedal B) what amp you going through. Thanks. Really loved your evh stream with Billy idol& David Friedman
I am curious how this compares to the Strymon Sunset??? I love the Sunset (actually have 2 of them). I have the Boss MD-200 and like the sounds in it, and this OD sounds good too. Curious though. . .
I have 2 on my board. Controlling them with an ES-5. I have a Tumnus before the ES-5 as an always on. I don't feel the need for any OD or Dist Pedals.......really ever again
Friend, you are my idol on the guitar, I would like you to show me how you achieve that effect with the Boss OD-200 pedal, what you call Fuzz Muff Style, how you achieve that effect at minute 9:43, please how do you know? achieve that sound???
I quit buying dirt pedals after getting this. I can pretty much replicate 90% of the dirt pedals out there. Put a 7 band eq after it and you can probably get 99%. It really is a great all in one box. Shocked it does not get more hype.
Hi Pete. Great video as always. I noticed that (to me) the original Tube Screamer and Centaur type pedals had a nicer midrange character to them than their counterparts on the O.D. 200. Do you think it's possible to tweak the mids on the O.D. 200 to get those warmer mids on the overdrive pedal emulations?
Sure, you’re just hearing my EQ tweaks, lots of range on the equalizer to change things up. I was amazed how close I got and that was really only spending like five minutes per sound
Pete just curious if you have ever used a TC Electronics Brainwaves? If so what were your thoughts on it? If not could you demo one? Great demo as always 🤘
Hey Pete, Dave from Edmonton. Sorry if missed in the comments, are you using the gate in the video? I know when I stack the drives it does get noisy without.
Yes! Been using it in the loop of my power station. So it’s coming post-amp distortion. I really like it, Can easily switch it in and out using the Power Station foot switch
@@PeteThorn Would like you thoughts on it plugged in-front of the AC30 you are borrowing, see how close you get to The Edge's sound. I've got one in the loop of my HD500x into the DT25.
Dam dude, you got good fast. You are obviously a natural guitar player...It took me only months from zero to playing in a top band in Santa Barbara/Los Angeles CA. I do remember when you were first on SNL and you were ok but nothing like what I'm hearing from you now... Nice playing bro...looks like a nice recording studio too. tommyrad..
If anyone can answer this. I got a Strat but no Tube Amp or anything. If I use this and record straight into my DAW then how good will it sound coz to be honest there is no Tube / Analog saturation happening in my chain then. I just need to get a good Overdriven sound for my leads. I don't play heavy stuff at all.

You mention the power stack in this demo, funny enough I bought one yrs ago off your demo of it and I still use it. Nice demo of that pedal may have to grab this one.

Thanks so much man!
Sounds amazing with those amazing licks, very clear distorted notes coming through :)
It sounds great and you did a great job on the demo! Thanks!
Pete does it again. Wow, @9:00 "Stack drive boosted by screamer" that's the one!
Yep. My fav too.
Yep, that setting absolutely screamed!
Such a groovy lil overlay my man!! Fukin love it. Cool pedal all in one.😎
OMG, I kid you not, Pete...my birthday is in two weeks and THIS pedal is #1 on my wish list! Your timing to review this could not be better!
Now...if only my wife and kids follow my list 🤞
Did you get it?
@@leelupfer2379 I’ll let you know on Tue!
That main riff sounds kinda Big Wreck-esque. Dig it!
haven't heard that band name in years, when I was living in Buffalo. N.Y
That duel guitar part is so bad ass man. Great demo!
Man i was searching for midi drive pedals n i didnt know this exist. Now with Plethora x5 n Bigsky on my board i dont need a loop switch, simple midi controller will do all the work. Thanks 🍻
High quality demo in your playing and going through the pedal details, thank you
RUSH represent! ;)
Tasty tones! Thank you again for sharing

Great demo of a variety of sounds! Thank you for all of the effort you are putting into making these.
Good demo, I would like to buy one someday
Wow - the Archer comparison is awesome. Good grief Pete just when I thought i wont be buying another drive pedal for a while - you do this to me - Order going in tomorrow. :)
Your playing kills me every time...... Thanks for the great vids. Peter in Johannesburg
Thanks peter!
That intro song is so good! Great demo as always Pete!
That is pretty sweet, wish they would make an ADA MP-1 in a pedal like that. The programmable capabilities in a preamp format really makes a lot of sense.
Done already few years ago.
www.adaamps.com/Products/ada-MP1/MP1.htm
They do. The ADA MP1 pedal. Tubes and everything.
I am talking about a MIDI version in a pedal
there is a mp1 channel peda with single channel and od dual gain and two preamp tubes super rare tho
I really dig that Blues mode with the Tele.
Hey Pete. You mentioned that the two X modes are digital are the rest of the sounds analog. Looks like a fantastic unit. Thanks for the killer demo as always
I’m not actually sure which modes are digital and which ones are analog actually. But that’s OK, I just sort of went by what sounds best to me and most useful
@@PeteThorn thanks for the reply. I suppose your right best just to use your ears right?
Why would anyone give a Thumbs Down to a Pete Thorn Guitar Video
People that that wish they were Pete give this one a 👎 but not the real rockers, they give a 👍
Similar concept to the Strymon Sunset currently on my board due to its versatility
Apparently I've been seeing this video before, but I probably was in bed, half asleep, so first of all:

I want me an evh man that sounded sweet ...pedal rocks too
Wish I'd realized this two weeks ago.... damn ..rip
I believe that the minor differences could be fixed with the eq200
Been waiting for you to get to this one. And bro you smoke it everytime. Love your playing and tones bro

Once again, super opening tunes, great demo too!
Love it, and that playing
Great vid, as always! This thing seems useful...
But what do i see in the background on top of your Fryette PS? A Vahlbruch Kaluna? Nice!
Nice one Pete as always! Whar drum plug in is that by the way?
Superior 3... great instrument plugin. You just have to spend some time tweaking it
@@PeteThorn please do a demo for that. Sounds fantastic!

Same
There is a firmware update at Boss. Connect it to your computer with usb cable and it is very easy to update.
sorry, read your Q again. not relevent
pete you are an awsome guitarist
Love this pedal. Great value for money.
Great demo and really good guitar player.
I like the peddle Pete and nice playing as usual.
If you like the OD-200 then take a look at the Boss MS-3. Mostly the same drives plus all other fx. It replaces my whole board.
Loving the Jason Falkner vibe on this one Pete!! You're a beast!
Jason is super cool, I haven’t seen that guy in years but I used to know him a little. So talented
@@PeteThorn Yeah, Jason Falkner, Jon Brion, Lyle Workman, Daniel Lanois. All of those dudes can make an open G chord sound so much better than me!!! INFURIATING!! ;) You're the man Pete. Hope you're doing well!

Hi.i like all the pedals .sound good.
Another great post!
Holy Electric Guitar Collection! (I have one! Hahahahaha. A one guitar wonder.) Thanks for the great review!
Bellissimo pedale grazie Pete
Why couldn’t they make this pedal stereo?
Just get two. ;-)
Mate, no dissing the Boss pedal, but you could make a broomstick sound awesome. Thanks for a nice run through! Rock on. 😂
That was crisp.
Excellent video! I have the Power Stack ST-2 and wouldn't trade it for the world. However, this OD200 has got my attention now.
Pete between you and Bill Rupert over at EHX, I don't know who has got me to spend more money but you sure do Demos right
Thanks!
he is one of the best players !!
i find it quite impressive that Boss sounds very liquidy compared to JHS/Archer pedals
Lot of what I would call FOO FIGHTERS tones
I Love youre Vids Man!!!!!!!
Love mine
Yep
Great vid.. probably getting one... what are you using A) to hold the pedal B) what amp you going through.
Thanks. Really loved your evh stream with Billy idol& David Friedman
I am curious how this compares to the Strymon Sunset??? I love the Sunset (actually have 2 of them). I have the Boss MD-200 and like the sounds in it, and this OD sounds good too. Curious though. . .

Friend, you are my idol on the guitar, I would like you to show me how you achieve that effect with the Boss OD-200 pedal, what you call Fuzz Muff Style, how you achieve that effect at minute 9:43, please how do you know? achieve that sound???
we need a SLO 100 in a box
wampler SLOstortion...
I’m sold on it, especially since it has MIDI.
Similar concept to the TC Electronic Nova Drive, but digital models.
Just ordered one of these. A bunch of Boss distortions with MIDI? Yep.
Nice EVH...

Apart from another bad hair style, and commenting a year later,great video Pete . As always, played like a champion
Pete, how well would this work straight into the fx return? My amps preamp isn't all that good.

Am I correct by thinking that the ''X'' modes come from the digital-processing part and the rest of them are analog?
Idk why boss put a tube screamer sim pedal if they have the super overdrive and many people prefer that one over the tube screamer…
Hey Pete, Dave from Edmonton. Sorry if missed in the comments, are you using the gate in the video? I know when I stack the drives it does get noisy without.
I'm making a comeback after 20 years and I see that I didn't have to ruin my guitar by yanking on the Whammy bar.
Thanks for the video Pete. Is that a Korg SDD-3000 pedal on top of the Suhr Reactive Load I.R.?
Yes! Been using it in the loop of my power station. So it’s coming post-amp distortion. I really like it, Can easily switch it in and out using the Power Station foot switch

Hey man did you see a way to store a preset in bypass mode ?
The fuzz muff style sounded like a harmonizer period is that straight out of the box?
I doubled and hard panned the part
