Pete, that opening song was unbelievable. I love the gear demos, but your music consistently blows me away. This is some of your best work on a demo yet. Simply amazing!
Pete, it's really hard not to just blather on with superlatives. Your ability to seem totally accessible, easily relaying volumes of information on how you achieve such great sounds along with the consumate playing skills makes these videos immensely informative and enjoyable. Thanks!
Pete is not just a phenomenal musician, he's just a good guy in general. Props to you Pete for staying grounded and one of us. You are an inspiration to many of us over the years. If Pete endorses it, it's the shit....no two ways around it. Rock on Pete!
Awesome Pete , I picked one of these up a couple months ago and my pedal board is now collecting dust . A couple things here for anybody thinking about picking one of these up . The wah-wah pedals are awesome , I set up a cry baby and the clyde on one of the banks and it's so easy to A/B between them . Also the harmonizer is incredible which I've never liked in the past but with the editor no problem to get it to sound like a second guitar or add a third guitar . Add in the ability to create sceens and or songs or use the looper wow !! I will always be an amp guy and this delivers , all banks pre/ or post . If you have ever owned a pod or a unit with an on screen editor then you will have no problem setting it up. It's not plug and play so be prepared for the learning curve ...wooohooo thank you Fractal and Pete Thorn for another great demoThis is by far the best processor I've ever owned
Pete I want to thank you for all the work you put in to your stuff, I hear great demos with all the info and tones I need to hear from the product. You go far beyond any review/ demo and put serious effort to create what for most of us are considered master pieces. Thank you
Damn! You use your sounds in a very tasteful manner! You really know how to bring out what you write. This is a killer tune & your music is always top notch!! I'm not a player who uses much, if hardly any effects, BUT definitely appreciate the hell out people like you can use them & make them become part of your musical expression!
Hey, Pete! Awesome demo, man! You always come up with such original ideas! If you could, would you demo the Line 6 Helix? I would love to hear what you could do with it! I know it a different tool with a different intended audience than the FX8, but the two have drawn a lot of comparisons... Probably just because both came out around the same time, and because both are 'multi' pedals.
You are gifted Pete. Pleasure listening to you. Thank you for reminding me how amazing an instrument the guitar is and that I need to work even harder on it (you make it all look so easy). God Bless !!
HI Pete - these demos are always educational and enjoyable as well due to your cool tune creations for the sound mixes. Love your organization and knowledge of the efx all around (well of course so many demos eh?) and the recording processes to get a well produced sound in such a seemingly short time. Great job on this Fractal tool - as good as the AxeEfx 2 demo previously!
So many guitarists should take lessons from you. Creative melodies, how to write a lead and accuracy. Always overlook the equipment to a certain point because of your music.
Great demo Pete. Thanks. I'm one of "those guys that's had a board for 15 years and gottened used to it!". Love the way the Fractal beefs up an acoustic without noise issues. I'd like to have heard more of that....maybe another time huh? All the best Pete.
WOW! Im speechless. I was going to buy the new Boss ES-8 and a bunch of pedals that will run be close to 4 thousand dollars but after listening to this system, I might change my mind.
Awesome tones & fantastic playing ( as always ). I Always enjoy your demo's. The panning sounds really nice with headphones. Great depth & dimension. - Michael Caz - NYC -
Stellar work as always, Mr. Thorn. Should time permit, I for one would love to hear about how you capture and compress the audio for your UA-cam delivery. Your sound is head and shoulders above the majority of the demos on the Tube. Thank you for the great demos!
a great review Pete, you really know how to bring the best tones out of this unit !... would you prefer to replace the classic pedalboard with this Fractal FX8 ?
Hi Pete this has to be the best video i have watched in a very long time....It's great the way you've taken time to show how and what you use on this great instrumental and it's given me great information to try many ways to improve my own sounds. I will make more visits to your videos for sure.
Beautiful demo, beautiful song, beautiful tones, I hope to get half of those beautiful tones on my FX8 Mark2, since I’m a newbie with this amazing piece of equipment. Pete Thorn is a high-quality pro! Thanks!👍👍🙏😊
Thanks for the fun video. I'm learning so much, although I'm leaning more to a rocking chair than a rock career. It's a joy to see how you dissect this brilliant passage of music for us. ..........If I were a famous singer, I'd just get out of your way and let you produce everything. ..........Your sonic taste is the one aspect of your gift that can't be taught, and I'm not seeing anyone better out there.
+Pete Thorn, you're a gift to this world. You are a natural teacher. The way you speak puts people at ease. And you're one killer guitarist. I'm a fan of the person you are, and not just your mad guitar skills. Thank God for people who can put smiles on faces. Takes my mind off the craziness in the world - priceless.
Pete. GREAT, great video. Love how you broke the track down and played the parts adding in each effect. Give great image to your "effect ear" which is really great. Was surprised by the schizo solo and loved the extra wide mouth. Is that a present button too? Great job as always!
Pete, that opening song was unbelievable. I love the gear demos, but your music consistently blows me away. This is some of your best work on a demo yet. Simply amazing!

I just love to hear you play, it's the best recommendation for any kit.
Thanks!
Damn! You use your sounds in a very tasteful manner! You really know how to bring out what you write. This is a killer tune & your music is always top notch!!

Hittin' it out of the park as always, brotha.
Amazing demo Pete. Showcased some incredible tones from the FX8.
That stereo panning arpeggio bit has held me captive.. I wish I could get sounds like that! Amazing job Pete!
Another amazing video - great review of this bad boy!
As always, your playing is incredible.
Rock on, Pete!
Such a great player!
Thx for being inspiring!
impressive how musically you can make any piece of gear sound. Awesome!!
Amazing as always... I love the breakdowns and the additive effects as you go. It really makes me want to sit down and start tweaking gear again!
You are gifted Pete. Pleasure listening to you. Thank you for reminding me how amazing an instrument the guitar is and that I need to work even harder on it (you make it all look so easy). God Bless !!
Thanks Sam !!
Anytime Pete plays a note, a child is born.
+fallingmanjutsu Hahaha, that's a new one! :) Thanks...
Holy shit. Pete. Your playing is amazing. The rhythm at 4:11. And that tone at 2:49. Damn, man.
Subscribed!
Mr. Thorn , always tasteful as can be -love all the tones from this recording, especially the roto sound!
Pete! What an education! You're so articulate both verbally and musically!
Wonderful, happy sounding song. Well Done Pete.
amazing tones Pete. I'm on the Wait list for this unit.

Thanks for the fantastic demo! One of my favorite youtube channels
Thanks!
Awesome playing, Pete, you're an inspiration to many.
Thank you!
So many guitarists should take lessons from you. Creative melodies, how to write a lead and accuracy. Always overlook the equipment to a certain point because of your music.
Thanks Donovan, maybe I'll do a vid lesson soon on building a solo
"Let's turn on the panner"
Yes Pete. Let's turn on the panner.
Another killer demo Pete.
Really enjoyed it.
that was excellent Pete! As always, fantastic playing.
Your musical skill are mind blowing
Great demo Pete. Thanks. I'm one of "those guys that's had a board for 15 years and gottened used to it!". Love the way the Fractal beefs up an acoustic without noise issues. I'd like to have heard more of that....maybe another time huh? All the best Pete.
That was a beautiful demo....fantastic!!
WOW! Im speechless. I was going to buy the new Boss ES-8 and a bunch of pedals that will run be close to 4 thousand dollars but after listening to this system, I might change my mind.
one word. MAJESTIC! youre too good man, love whatever you do!

I'm very interested in the FX8. I'm a tube amp/analog pedals kind of guy, but this just might replace my pedalboard! Great demo as always Pete!
Great track and demo, Pete. Cheers.

He already did that if I can recall

Dude! Beautiful music.
Thanks man!
Sounds great. Seems like heresy next to that pedalboard from heaven in the background!
thanks for your review on this unit. seem to be a awesome unit.
When I saw The Aristocrats in Des Moines, Guthrie was using one of these with his Victory amp. It sounded great.
I really enjoyed the song. Great work!
Such great playing, and great tones!
Wow, just wow. I'm going to start pawning gear to get one of these. Thanks for your excellent demo and incredible playing.
