    Pete, you continue to impress me on so many levels. Your understanding of good gear and good tone knows no rival. You are a tremendous musician who writes great riffs. You're a good person. You understand music, entertainment, and performance. What I would love to see from you is for you to hitch on to a great, commercially successful band - where you write all or most of the music and have a good, charismatic singer that can put great lyrics to the catchy songs that you'd be guaranteed to compose. I think that that's the only thing that you have left to achieve. You definitely could do it. And, I think you would be tremendous at it. I want to see this because many would be immensely entertained by it, you'd enjoy it, and those of us who have followed you through everything else would appreciate it. I hope to see (or hear) that one day. By the way, this device is cool. Great gear demo, as always.

    I had to buy the Drybell Unit 67 after you demoed it, although it was a bit pricy. Now I will probably have to buy The Engine as well, and I was expecting a higher price really. As usual, killer demo that could easily be developed into a full blown song, along with several others you've done.

    The pedal sounds great for sure, but I think the guy demoing it is part of how good it sounds here. Pete, I have watched quite a few of your pedal demos and I think you’re my favorite guitar player I have discovered in recent years, and you always have everything dialed in just right. It’s amazing how good you always sound in these videos. Keep doing what you’re doing!

    It sounds like another amazing pedal from Drybell. I never heard of Drybell until I seen Pete Thorn's review of the Drybell Vibe Machine, I ended up buying a Vibe Machine shortly after and it's amazing, really inspiring. I can't wait to try The Engine...conveniently its nearly fathers day so my wife can't complain I'm buying another pedal, she'll wish she could but I'm calling The Engine my fathers day gift.

    I’ve been through many MIAB pedals and some were great and some were just ok to me. I believe the Marshall Plexi of the 60’s and 70’s is the quintessential rock crunch sound.
