Oh man, Pete. Every time I watch you demo something (and you're right, this thing does sound great) I learn a new chord or two that I just want to use in a half a dozen new songs. Today it was that second chord (the one after the A)...the A6sus2(#11). GREAT chord. I've been playing for decades and never played that chord before! Love it! As usual, your playing is outstanding, and your song writing ability is exceptional. Thanks for all you do.
This thing sounds incredible. Angel - "You don't need it, you've have more than enough dirt boxes." Devil - "BUY IT YOU FOOL, you'll never get to tonal nirvana with it!" The Fly - "Help me!" ;-)
Really cool composition Pete! Love the feel of it. I must say, this pedal is unique and sounds amazing. There’s obviously a bit of novelty with the faders but wow does it really deliver on some tasty sounds.
By the time the algorithm bestows this gem of a video again in the years to come, that note will still continue to sustain. Great work as always, Pete.
Been waiting for this one, Pete. Cool-factor aside, this thing sounds amazing. Can cover pretty much any boost/OD/fuzz tones, too. Now pedal aside, hope to hear this track on PTIII. This was a killer tune!
Hey Pete - you do such a fantastic job with your content. It’s obvious you love what you’re presenting! That song just rips, too - really tasty Lydian vibe. Keep ‘em coming!!
This look super useful as a last stage before the amplifier - no matter what patch your pedal board is on, no matter what combination of pedals you have switched on, you could use this as a final stage to always make sure you are hitting your amp at the level you want to be (with the ability to make EQ adjustments too)
Once again, sir, you have access to THEE coolest gear. When I saw the first Chase Bliss in the open few seconds of the video I was.. wtf? Then I saw the flying faders on it and I was..WTF?!!!... lol. Another great gear review, Pete. The Chasse Bliss Preamp is a great sounding bit of gear and you did an outstanding job on showing it's capabilities with some great playing. The various tones you demonstrated goes from such a wide range of Hendrix like wah and fuzz all the way to Satriani "Surfing with the Alien" era. The sustain it gives is unbelievable.. that last note that you played. "Listen to the sustain....you can go and have a bite and you'll still be hearing that one” - Nigel Tufnel And on top of that.. FLYING FADERS!! What more does a mere mortal need? I'm good... I'll just watch the pedal..lol. Cheers! Thanks so much, Pete. Another stellar gear review.
A crazy mix of past and future. Great job on the composition to showcase this thing. Sounds awesome. What can't it do? Ups the ante for versatility in a drive pedal. Love that wah possibility. Great tone. Amazing job Pete, as always.
I know it's been said before but the effort and creativity you pour into these demos is incredible, really getting the very best out of the gear. Great channel Pete, keep 'em coming :-)
I'd watched a few other demos of this pedal but it was not until now that I realized that I "needed" it. I thank you, Pete. My bank account, on the other hand, does not.
This pedal with a Midi controller is definitely a good combination, and I really like the seamless transition between the presets. This pedal may cost about as much as a Hot Rod Deluxe, but I think it's worth it since it has so much versatility.
This pedal is a beast! It's way out of my price range but what a cool thing for those that can afford it. Also, Pete, this particular song was meaty and catchy... so damn good!
I recently added the Benson Preamp to my rig and it, by itself, has been tonal heaven. To take that sonic base and do all that with it...amazing. Yeah, the $$$ (and the pedalboard real estate) don’t make this a easy choice but I fear one is in my future. Great job emptying my wallet some more Pete! 🎸😳
Love your stuff, and this is no exception - thanks for the review!! I also just want to point out that the Off/Sil/Ger-button is for the clipping diodes, not transistors for the fuzz... but keep up the good work!
Awesome demo @Pete Thorn love the wah fuzz! I'm proud to having anything to do with this project and happy companies like @Chase Bliss Audio as usual are pushing the envelop in technology and offering, instead of trying to give me the cheapest overdrive available. To do everything this does you would need about 11-12 pedals, and those sounds compare to some of the best vintage gear I have. You just have to be open to new ideas (Hendrix was right?) while great tones are easily had right from the start
Hi Pete, nice demo! But a correction to make: the silicon/germanium button is not transistors for the fuzz, its clipping diodes for the preamp gain, and is actually the only thing, that didnt do much sense to me when I owned it, the difference is marginal at best.
It's been said before but especially true here that your playing was exceptional and inspiring in showing what this pedal can do. And there's so much that it does. Its amazing how you demonstrate so many features to their best and fit them all into a compostion. A great demo and not for the first time I'm clicking over to see how much it costs. It's a bit out of my budget this time but I just realised I have accumulated at least three pedals that I was sold on by your demos.
That was slick! I an not however going to mention this pedal to my wife, cause I don't wanna be chased down the street with a shovel. But I want one! Seems this could replace a lot of pedals on a board.
This thing keeps tugging at me. I had convinced myself it was good but not $800 cool - but I keep hearing demos and it sounds better every time and like others have said, this is the best sounding one I’ve heard yet. I could consolidate my fuzz and three drives into a single pedal on my board but like others I wonder about the life of those faders in something meant to get stepped on. Think I’m going to wait until these have been out a while and see how they handle the road. (Not that I’m on the road much - but if they can survive those that are it’ll easily survive my mild gigging schedule)
Have seen this demoed a few times now, and you always find a way to show such different things that nobody else does. Great stuff. Question: would you put this on your OWN board?
💡Hey Pete - video idea (I know...you get lots) Consider recording your demo song creation process as a series or feature. I get it would be tough and maybe awkward for you...just a thought.
Love the innovation. Man, I worry about those physical motorised sliders on the floor accidentally getting kicked, trodden, dirt, beer spills, certainly in the bars I play. If and when they do a screen with virtual sliders, while not as cool or perhaps as easy to see, will make it bar band gig worthy and half the price then I’m in. Chase Bliss are masters at digitally controlled analog so sounds should be identical.
Marcell Krokovay - dirt sure...beer...mmm...not so good for any electronics...albeit my pedalboard has so far withstood many spills and there have been times I daren’t even look. But open slots & motorised sliders proud of the case 🤔☹️...inviting trouble. But hey if you like it go for it!
As always Pete! I love most Chase Bliss pedals ... but this one, though clever, meh. I haven’t heard/seen one demo of this device (believe me I’ve seen several that fixate on the sliders) that would add anything unique to my sound.
@@PeteThorn Thanks. That’s party why I asked. I have a board with both Automatones incorporated and it really serves me well. Would love to see a revisit/deep dive or at least gain some alternate perspective. The pedals seem deserving of it ’(and I’d love to snag more custom settings 😎). Thanks again. Merry Christmas ✌️🤘🤙
Pete, that pedal sounds so good...the playing is sublime...but the one thing that REALLY impresses me is how you keep your shoelaces from twisting. I will NEVER be able to get that good. (Walks away depressed...)
Great job sir as usual and i've always truely appreciated ur video's and definitely ur playing, but one thing all u YT'ers don't bother is that not all of us have a net worth of $10,000,000 to buy pedals like this even if they taste beter than JLO😎
"I bought this. This is for me ! "
I know this sweet feeling. I really do !
Great video. Chase Bliss is interesting !
I'm here for the flying fader show
"hey is that freedom rock?" "tuuuurrrn it uppp!"
Oh man, Pete. Every time I watch you demo something (and you're right, this thing does sound great) I learn a new chord or two that I just want to use in a half a dozen new songs.

As usual, your playing is outstanding, and your song writing ability is exceptional. Thanks for all you do.
Arguably your best tone.
Love this pedal! Crazy riffs and melodies as always!!
0:42 - love that lead riff!

Damn! That was a killer demo, Pete! GREAT pedal too!
All the tones were great. At the start some cool chords and the tone was spot on. Love that gritty tone for bangin' chord progressions.
Been waiting for this one, Pete. Cool-factor aside, this thing sounds amazing. Can cover pretty much any boost/OD/fuzz tones, too. Now pedal aside, hope to hear this track on PTIII. This was a killer tune!
Great video!! So many possibilities and very well explained. This song is really nice too.
Awesome creative playing as usual Pete❤️. This pre-amp very interesting😳..........You have my undivided attention!
*You are such slickster, man you never disappoint!*
Killer tune, and listen to that sustain!
Great demo, Pete! You are the king!!
Very Satriani sounding in that opening demo. Nice
Awesome job as always PT, thanks,
Great demo Pete and what a killer sounding pedal.
Awsome review Bro!
Hey Pete - you do such a fantastic job with your content. It’s obvious you love what you’re presenting! That song just rips, too - really tasty Lydian vibe. Keep ‘em coming!!
Thanks Robert! I really enjoy this stuff, I’m glad it shows
I keep catching myself pulling guitar face just from watching Pete’s demos. 😂
This look super useful as a last stage before the amplifier - no matter what patch your pedal board is on, no matter what combination of pedals you have switched on, you could use this as a final stage to always make sure you are hitting your amp at the level you want to be (with the ability to make EQ adjustments too)

Thank you so much!

Thanks Lance!!!
Pete, you're a madman! Love the sounds!
Thanks Jonathan!
This incredibly innovative and IMO quite the bargain given the features.
This thing is too cool!!! And as always... great demo brother.
Thanks!
That thick wah lead sound is very Satriani like. (with the sharp 11th and everything)
And holy crap that solo from 9:20 to 9:50. Blew me away. me thinks you been puttin' in long hours lately!
Thanks Kevin!
I'd watched a few other demos of this pedal but it was not until now that I realized that I "needed" it. I thank you, Pete. My bank account, on the other hand, does not.
Pete! Love your videos man. They are so helpful, keep it up! (Please!)
Thanks!
This pedal with a Midi controller is definitely a good combination, and I really like the seamless transition between the presets. This pedal may cost about as much as a Hot Rod Deluxe, but I think it's worth it since it has so much versatility.
Finally, a new pedal that I have a semblance of interest in.
This pedal is a beast! It's way out of my price range but what a cool thing for those that can afford it.
Also, Pete, this particular song was meaty and catchy... so damn good!
Dude U da best!! Great guitarist and great videos. Great explanations and great guitar tone!! :-)
You are so bad ass! Great Videos Pete-
Yeah, that was a KILLER demo on this pedal. I had talked myself out of it until I saw this vid.
I hear ya!
I can't hear you.
There's is some guy playing his guitar on 11. LOL !
Might have to buy this one mostly for plugging in an expression pedal and watching the fader go up & down
Killer playing as usual bud... very inspiring.
Thanks man!
Very nice sir!!!
Pete man, where are you getting all these beautiful sound structure ideas, u can't seem to run out of em
Chase Bliss are one of the most outstanding pedal makers on the planet. Brilliant demo piece and superb tone.👍
They are certainly making the most forward thinking stuff (for analog lovers) IMO
Such a cool pedal.
Excellent video, and thanks for not playing woosy guitar like the other reviews.
Some very Satch-y tones there Pete!
Great review! this pedal has my interest haha
Super riff at the beginning! Definitely a little bit of Joe ; )
such a wonderful guitar player :)
I recently added the Benson Preamp to my rig and it, by itself, has been tonal heaven. To take that sonic base and do all that with it...amazing. Yeah, the $$$ (and the pedalboard real estate) don’t make this a easy choice but I fear one is in my future. Great job emptying my wallet some more Pete! 🎸😳
I need this for the motorized faders alone!
One of your best demos. Really inspired playing and discussion. Now let me look up the price on this bad b...holy crap!
Love your stuff, and this is no exception - thanks for the review!! I also just want to point out that the Off/Sil/Ger-button is for the clipping diodes, not transistors for the fuzz... but keep up the good work!
You’re actually 100% correct and I stand corrected! I should’ve mentioned this
oh man sorry but i was amazed with your playing skills that i forgot the pedal you are reviewing
Awesome demo @Pete Thorn love the wah fuzz! I'm proud to having anything to do with this project and happy companies like @Chase Bliss Audio as usual are pushing the envelop in technology and offering, instead of trying to give me the cheapest overdrive available. To do everything this does you would need about 11-12 pedals, and those sounds compare to some of the best vintage gear I have.

Holy end note sustain Batman!
Pete,lets form a Badfinger Tribute band? -you're Tom of course!
As a tech nerd, that is the coolest Boost ever.
Hi Pete, nice demo! But a correction to make: the silicon/germanium button is not transistors for the fuzz, its clipping diodes for the preamp gain, and is actually the only thing, that didnt do much sense to me when I owned it, the difference is marginal at best.
Probably the best best demo yet - Henning's was really decent - but this one is stellar!
Thanks!
Thanks, Pete! Never turn Shilleramatic!

Thanks so much for watching!
Hey Pete awesome video as always. What expression pedal model was it? The Reflex?
Quick correction, it does silicon fuzz. You can have either germanium or silicon clipping.
That wah-type sound is reminiscent of the Nuno Bettencourt “quack”, only thats all done with guitar, drive pedal and amp of course …
Very Lydian intro ... flying in a blue fader dream
Haha!
Seriously, whatever these guys are paying you Pete, it's not nearly enough
Damn. DAMN BOY. TONE IS THICC.
If you can afford a Chase Bliss Preamp MKII get one, I just love mine, it makes weak guitar pickups sound great.
That was slick! I an not however going to mention this pedal to my wife, cause I don't wanna be chased down the street with a shovel. But I want one! Seems this could replace a lot of pedals on a board.
David Woods you said chased, chased bliss!! 😂
I'll never own one, but this is the coolest pedal every made.
Great demo Pete. Do you think this goes on your board? Very interested in that.
Wish they’d made it stereo like the reverb one
Nice Pete. More moving part's more to get damaged in an on stage setting? Or do you consider this more for home studio use? Thanks.
Wish they would make a remake of ADA MP-1 like that.
This thing keeps tugging at me. I had convinced myself it was good but not $800 cool - but I keep hearing demos and it sounds better every time and like others have said, this is the best sounding one I’ve heard yet. I could consolidate my fuzz and three drives into a single pedal on my board but like others I wonder about the life of those faders in something meant to get stepped on.

Question: would you put this on your OWN board?
Thanks!!
I’m wondering if anyone else did the wah thing?
Very Satchy!
it would be sweet if it was flying fader-ed the size of an MXR EQ pedal!!!
1:11 sustain for days!
1:20 C'mooooon!!!!!!!!
💡Hey Pete - video idea (I know...you get lots) Consider recording your demo song creation process as a series or feature. I get it would be tough and maybe awkward for you...just a thought.
Those chords really give me a STP vibe, I love it,
Hi Pete! How do you like this compared to the Origin Revival Drive?
Love the innovation. Man, I worry about those physical motorised sliders on the floor accidentally getting kicked, trodden, dirt, beer spills, certainly in the bars I play. If and when they do a screen with virtual sliders, while not as cool or perhaps as easy to see, will make it bar band gig worthy and half the price then I’m in. Chase Bliss are masters at digitally controlled analog so sounds should be identical.
They’re working on a flip-top clear plastic cover to protect it while keeping all your settings visible.
A screen is much more vulnerable imo
Line 6 Helix/HX Stomp, Boss, HeadRush, Fractal, Mooer etc all have great tried and tested screens...no problems
Neil Gaydon with dirt and beer?
Marcell Krokovay - dirt sure...beer...mmm...not so good for any electronics...albeit my pedalboard has so far withstood many spills and there have been times I daren’t even look. But open slots & motorised sliders proud of the case 🤔☹️...inviting trouble. But hey if you like it go for it!
This mans demos are album worthy
Hmmm I smell Pete Thorn III in the works. One can hope anyway.
:)
As always Pete!
I love most Chase Bliss pedals ... but this one, though clever, meh.
I haven’t heard/seen one demo of this device (believe me I’ve seen several that fixate on the sliders) that would add anything unique to my sound.
To be honest Man this is my favorite! Out of everything that they make. So there you go, different strokes right?
was there a little Replacements in the beginning?
If you think an expressive gain is cool Ernie ball made an expression pedal for overdrive
That is a way cool pedal! I couldn't not watch the whole thing!
Great demo. Pete. Two years later, do you still use this device? Any reflections now that the buzz has died down? Thx 🤙
I’ve been intending to make a pedalboard with this and their reverb- and Suhr’s delay- for ages
@@PeteThorn Thanks. That’s party why I asked. I have a board with both Automatones incorporated and it really serves me well.
