    I came to find out about this Paul, and totally forgot about the pedal because I mesmerized by this dude’s playing. Every time I watch him over the years, I’m absolutely blown away.

    Necro-comment here. Bought this pedal before Pete did this demo, but this demo is nonetheless excellent per usual via Pete Thorn. Still have this pedal all these years later. The riff Pete does at :30 is fire. Peace out.

      If Pete is "sort of a guitar player", then what does that make me? ... Jeez, I've been playing since 1985, but since Pete is better than I am, I guess that makes me a 'guitar-ish player"... Yikes, man.

    It always puzzles me that people come onto a video like this, that is interesting, perfectly executed, fully featured and just sounds amazing... and they still click "dislike"! I know it's statistical, there's always going to be someone... but WHY?! It's amazing, free content that someone has lovingly, carefully put together. I, for one am grateful for videos from incredible artists like Pete!

    Watching a Pete Thorn video on youtube is like finding an extra 20 bucks in your pocket - it never fails to bring a smile to your face. :)
    Why don't all gear demos use a quality looper for a clean tone riff example like you do Pete? The benefit seems so clear to me - with a looper running, you can demonstrate the tonal adjustments on a pedal so much more clearly since you don't have to stop playing in order to fiddle with the knobs...Just seems so much more effective to me. And is such common sense IMO.
    In fact, I may grab something like a looper myself and bring it with me to the shops when I want to demo some pedals!
    Pete, how goes the new record??

    One of the best musicians out there anywhere, bar none. And probably THE most talented guitar player doing pedal demos, period. I listen to these videos not only to check out the pedal itself.. but I simply enjoy watching and listening to Pete play.. he makes it looks easy. So much finesse and talent.. much respect and admiration! Would love to know whats on your pedalboard these days. Pete, what does your most recent board look like these days?

    Dear PETE,,I will never be able to afford any of the pedals you demo and I do not even care. I just watch to see you jam. Its coming up on winter here. I have no heat or hot water etc.. Food and work are scarce. In other words there is very little pleasure in my world..But getting to see and hear you jam provides strength to carry on my good dude. Thank you.

  • @AlanScottBand

    I've heard a lot of Pete's demos, and while they all sound good, this one is very inspiring. The tone is exceptionally raw, and his approach is way more spontaneous at the top, in the best way! Will get the pedal- kudos to Bogner for making something that has character. This and the Supro drive pedal are on the short list!

    Jumping channels on Marshalls is a sophisticated, old trick that I'm very impressed you bring up.. Of course, when you tried that on a 100-watt head you literally blew your one ear all the way through your brain to the other ear or the met in the middle and blew up.

    Last week i had the chance to test the La Grange and the Friedman BE-OD side by side, and the BE-OD was my favorite, and it was a bit cheaper. The La Grange was a little to compressed sounding for my taste, it just didn't have the punch i was looking for.
    both tested on a Fender twin clean setting. Although the BE-OD gain was a little over the top, but as you said, you can get inside and tweak the gain down a bit.

  • @stratodan27
    @stratodan27 7 років тому +1

    Trying to decide between the La Grange and the Wheebo JCM or JVM pedals for my main crunch rhythm sound thru my Fender tube amps. Tough decision. The only concern I have w the La Grange is that u don't get dedicated bass or mid control knobs. The top end control is definitely covered, but I really like to have a mid control. Hmmmm can't decide.
    BTW - just when I start to think I'm a good guitar player, I watch a Pete Thorn pedal demo video and promptly head to the kitchen for an ample portion of humble pie. What a monster player!

  • @2204JCM
    @2204JCM 6 років тому +1

    The Structure switch in actually selects between 3 diode types. So saying it effects the low end is misleading.
    Left position is Germanium, Centre is Silicon, and Right is Mosfets (wired in diode operation).
    The Germanium sound a bit fuzzier and the Silicon and Mosfets sound very similar.
    The differences are most obvious when the gain mode is set to low and the gain knob is around 3 o’clock. Even then is very subtle. I seriously doubt anyone can tell the difference with the gain higher.
    As a matter of fact at higher gain settings you cant even see a difference on a scope as I’ve done it.

    Bogner is always a little ahead of times. He doesn't run with pack. Great pedal -I own it I love it. Expression option for analog device is ahead of the game, Most people won't use it, but they should because it retains high end and replace a pedal or two when you consider that you can then boost wherever you have the expression set. Pete- I know this is an older video but I have a request- please review the Lunastone Three Stage Rocket Midi pedal- it should be a classic for Marshall tone lovers as well.

    This week November 8, I'm doing a write in vote for Pete Thorn for President.
    Could you imagine the state of the union address. No words just just Pete and a Strat and a Marshall stack.

      Wow Pete, I kind of scared myself on this one. Who knew things were going to turn out the way they did. I want to be your campaign manager. Everybody gets a Cadillac. It's a nice car to drive in a war.
