Thanks everybody for the great comments here, and I can’t thank Mick and Dan enough, Had a great time hanging at Gearhead University and these guys are tops- it’s starting to feel like we are old pals now and it’s not lost on me that it’s youtube that has really spawned some great new friendships. It’s a cool thing!!! Hope to see you guys in the UK soon
Traditional valve amp + digital IR's - best of both worlds. Congratulations Suhr and Pete for figuring out what nobody else managed to (for some bizarre reason)
When you look at the market there aren't a ton of really good IR options which tells me it's hard to get right and requires a lot of R&D...Suhr has these resources, his reactive load is arguably the best IMO...that specific reaction is tough to recreate so I'm guessing that's why we haven't seen this already but we prob will see a ton now
@@cchavez248 pedal platform amp. I already have of and distortion pedals. Do you?. It's $2800suhr, or Revv D20, $1200, and maybe $200-$500 pedals...? Unless, like myself, I already have a few. If you can afford the Suhr, awesome. It's a great amp, I just can't
Dan's expression at 7:45 when the third channel kicked in mirrored my own, as in, "Oh, Hell yeah." Amazing accomplishment with that amp, Pete. Well done. Doggone shame you all reside on different sides of the pond. You three doing a vid together was a real treat. I hope you can make it happen again sometime.
Never really appreciated a Suhr amp until right now. Have owned their guitars as well but never got their amp bug. This amp has changed things. Pete is just the best and nicest guy in the world it seems.
Pete's going to sound great on just about anything he plays but his guitar and that amp sound fantastic. Seems very versatile - 3 channels and all those speaker cab combos. Foot switchable and also has a headphone jack.
I'm a Pete Thorn geek, I made an artic white HSS Strat (based off his HSS Suhr) with the star pickup being a Thornbucker Plus in the bridge then the singles are V60LP's. Now this would be an amp that I'd buy and I don't own any amps. I'm pretty much all digital but the built in IR's would be perfect for me. I like the brightness, every note is articulate and clear. The tone 15:20, oh hell yes!!!!!! Pete, you need to your signature guitar in white, I'd be a player.
It's like having three guitar Jedi's before us. "If you strike me down...my tone will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." You guys rock and love both of your YT channels!
Pete is amazing with tones. It was really cool to hear “tube amp guys” get a good demonstration of this amp. I think Mick is right when he said other companies are thinking we should have made this. This thing is going to start a new trend.
This is great. If you feel it, it’s good, and it doesn’t matter which technology of what era is actually making the noise. Everyone here is clearly feeling it and that’s a great sign that there is new audio technology that still enables us to feel directly connected to the music. I’m very excited about this amp.
Watching this i can now appreciate the effort mick goes to audio editing this. And just a thank you because it makes it truly worth it especially listening through quality sound gear
Thank you. The audio on this was a giant shag! There is a very boring video vlog to explain..... coming soon. REALLY want to hear it back at Schwangri-La where we have a control environment.
Nice to see the digital modelling snobs (love you guys) opening the door a little to "the other side". Awesome video. Pete you're awesome! One day i'll have one of your guitars!
Matt Gilbert absolutely man. I make awesome cakes. Ill make Dan, Mick and Pete each a cake (gluten free for Pete, dunno about Dan & Mick) for one for each of us. Me and my fiance have a small baking secret for moist sponge everytime. I think we got this. I believe in the power of cake.
Outstanding work Pete. That’s the some of the best modelled direct tones that I’ve heard. Sounds really open like the cab is there. A very exciting amp!
D&M with Pete Thorns. My favorite gear geeks in the same room merging tube, technology, Strat, Tele, Thornbuckers....I can now die in peace with a huge grin on my face! Would be awesome seeing a full episode with TPS rundown with pedals, especially since you both love analogue so much. Maybe PT can make a Over-the-Pond Trip! Awesome.
Well done chaps - you''ve often said this stuff is out of your comfort zone, so respect for seeking out the perfect guide to it all for us - and for putting your preconceptions to the side and getting into it for us.
Cheers! Comfort zone, but preconceptions no. Mick here. I’ve worked with direct sounds and IRs for over 10 years now. I’ve never gone into them deeply because I’ve never preferred them to mic’d speaker. Cheers!
Lordy....! My favorite UA-cam guys rockin Pete's new amp. Really sounds great and a lot of features. All three of you guys cause me to buy a lot of stuff... Don't ever make it stop!
That’s the best tones I’ve heard Dan and mick get, and they don’t even have their own guitars or any pedals. After all those pedal combos for all those years this sounds better
I'm 3:15 into this video so apologies if some of what I want to say will be addressed even further as I watch the video, but as a person who plays both a Helix and a tube amp depending on the situation I'm so excited at the possibility of you guys applying "first principles" to a wider variety of technology. You have so much to offer and your ideas really do cross over platforms really well. Now I'm off to finish this awesome vid. Thanks, as always, for all your work!!!
Awesome. Pete the way you demo gear is fantastic. You play stuff people want to hear to give an idea of the full capabilities of the gear. It comes across like you are trying it out for yourself in a shop with a view to buying it. Thanks Guys. Love the show!
Wow. Astonishing amp! Sounded rock with Pete’s guitar but old skool sounds with your Fenders. If only I had the money!!! Couldn’t believe the sound of the IRs!!!
Pete is awesome, great knowledge to be learned every vid from you guys !!!! Already saved me hundreds this year....its nice to buy the right products first time
This was great. Love both Pete's channel and TPS. I think this is a really cool concept, and most amps will probably have some/all of these features going forward. It sounded a bit bright to me, but looked like there was plenty of adjustment to warm it up. Nice job!
I'm watching Dan here, playing this white Tele, and thinking... Does he know yet that he's "lost" Red? That whole ordeal of panic and trepidation is yet to come and this poor Dan doesn't know what's in store... Time travel is so crunchy.
I heard Lee Anderton stole it whilst Dan was telling Chappers off for shredding on the neck pup, at high gain, with the volume rolled off, using a wah, when he was meant to be demo'ing the clean tone.
I was a bit worried when the Revv D20 beat this amp into production but now, after hearing this and seeing that this is not just a clean amp I think that Revv might have to go back to the drawing board! Good work!
Pete Thorn on TPS... I’m finished with the internet this week! Awesome tones/show as I’m going through the no loud guitar rig stage issue at the moment
Pete, GREAT amp!!! 6V6's were a great choice. Love the IR's. It's obvious that you put some thought into this! I hope you sell them as fast as Mr. Suhr can put them together!! I want one, and for the most part I don't like anything digital in my tube amps. Once I'm out of the amp is another story! LOL
Yeah, this is a game changer. Not usually a fan of the idea of IRs, but this made sense as soon as I heard you guys play through it. For players like me who prefer low gain and clean sounds, two more similar channels able to be set up with their own IRs would make a lot of sense. The Yamaha TH100 concept but with tubes and these IRs, And that paisley Strat suits you, Mick.
TPS: we should hand draw this Catalinbread Me: giggles with excitement TPS: [no hand drawing] Me: sadface But really, Pete is a super cool dude, and his amp sounds amazing. Glad you guys got to connect with him. Chances of a Pete Thorn episode at the TPS studios??? It's awesome when you see a Swiss army knife-amp that actually sounds great at all the things
Got home after the gig and this popped up in my recommendations. Here I am a couple hours later, still awake, and pretty sure I’ve never been as excited to try a new amp as I am to get my hands on one of these. I’m a diehard vintage tube amp guy, and if a vintage one isn’t available then it HAS to be all tube (i.e. in a cheap backline situation I’ll request a ‘65 DRRI or a Hot Rod Deville as a last resort). This head looks like it may very well be the best of all worlds in one. 15 watts (I’m assuming Class A/B) is WAY louder than most folks think. I have yet to play a show that a 15 watt, point to point tube amplifier couldn’t pull off. Are there gonna be situations where a bigger amp would be ideal? Of course. But if no other option is available, the 15 watter will get you through the gig with ease. And let’s be honest, 99% of players will never play a venue large enough to be able to get a 100 watt tube amp to the sweet spot anyway, but I digress. Back to the PT 15. So, it’s the most usable wattage (IMO) and in addition it has three separate channels that appear to be able to produce almost any tone you would ever be asked to pull up, built in reactive load so there is no cab required, and a bank for 16 IRs that are each assignable to any of the three channels?!?!? For me, that’s as close as you can get to the perfect amp. Finally someone has figured out how to blend what we all love about vintage tube amps with modern technology and keep it from sounding like a cheap imitation. If this were released by Line 6 or Boss I wouldn’t even give it a second look, but Suhr doesn’t have a reputation of putting out shitty products. There is also the fact that every band I play guitar for runs ears and has multiple harmony singers that aren’t fond of guitarists that are loud. With this, if I wanted, I could literally run a line to FOH, the band can mix me into their ears and can get even the heavier crunch tones I want with ZERO stage volume! Maybe $3k isn’t that bad for possibly the last head I ever have to buy. Of course, I’ve told myself that “this is the last amp/guitar” BS before and failed miserably. I mean, what guitarist has that kind of self control?! 😂
So, so in tune with the needs of a gigging guitarist - great product and great demo! What I wouldn't give to play venues that wanted more than 15 watts...
Yayyyyy! Pete Thorn is on TPS! Seriously great amp! I just wish it sounded a bit more Vox like since my tone is wrapped around an ac30 but maybe I could throw one of those Vox preamp pedals. No amps allowed on stage where I play now and I’m sorry but the helix even though it’s great and no one in the audience knows. The pain of having to dial in patches and tweak etc just is a pain and it’s missing tubes man! Give me an old fashioned tube amp and modern tech with the IRS to keep the sound guy happy and this could be a winner. I’ll have to try it out with a good Vox preamp and hopefully it will play nice with the 6v6s! Please get Pete over to the UK and do a proper TPS! I’d be stoked!
Holy moly that amp sounds good. That crunch sound is pretty much the exact sound I've been searching for in my endless tone quest. Amp gain, effects loop, cab simulation, FRFR... So just how alien was this for you guys? Everyone sounded great, so it obviously felt good to play.
Really great video! To my ears the I.R. tones sounded a little more scooped in the mids than the cab tones, especially with the Strat & Tele. Mick’s impish grin returned as soon as the cab was plugged back in, as if to say “now that’s rock ‘n roll!”
Weirdly reminds me of my old 6l6 jcm900 dual reverb, with the cleans and mahoosive gain on tap. The laney Irt-studio which Ive just got is very much in the same vein but the stored IRs are a touch of genius, I'm considering a Mooer Radar for my IRs. And shout out to the Harley Benton G212 vintage, redonkulously cheap v30 plywood cab which sounds awesome.
It's almost as if you might get one of these little swiss army knives just in case :) Brilliant work with this, combining modern technology with old school needs and tastes.
This has made me want to hear Dan, with that neglected Ibanez Gem, reliving his Australian, high-gain days. Dan, I know for a fact those days happened. Will the hair to mullet, push forth your metal ways. Yours in metal, I remain,...
Great amp there. But when Mick says, "Ah! That's the amp we should be making!" This is exciting as well. What's the competition going to do to respond? this seems like a watershed moment in amp history.
Guitar Ted yeah, seems inevitable the rest will also build in the irs. The wave of reactive load boxes with ir is already here though, and a great option for people who already own conventional tube amps, which is all of us really. The suhr ir, ox and boss waza tube amp expanded are all great
There is no Ir of their Mic setup and we really don’t know if EQ was applied to the mic. But if you liked their setup and it was nice you could do your own IR of that setup and I’d bet you’d never hear the difference.
@@johnsuhr6559 I just bought one for my truck. I drive a Semi (not building amps for a living anymore) I’m going to plug it into the Aux in on my 2019 Kenworth and use that HX effects (4 cable method) Just picked it up. Tonight is first fire up when I get home.
This might be the among the best do-it-all amps on the market today. That the head goes for about $2,700 USD will frustrate a lot of people, but I think that's a fair price given everything else it includes. That said, I do wish it was a few thousand pennies cheaper. :)
I think it's about time I came down to see you guys armed with some Helix stuff and show you the advantages of a hybrid tube/ modelling rig. Ready when you are guys. I'll bring the beer. ;-)
Cool! Let’s do it. Please DM us. Literally can’t wait for this. Give us your absolutely pinnacle Helix and we’’ll give you some average analogue wet dry. Let’s do it!
Highly, highly unlikely. It sounds very very cool, but this didactic opposition to OD pedals in favour of amp gain in a lot of people is just plain weird.
The amp sounds great, but as I've got older I like my amps to have fewer and fewer knobs and switches. Sold my Mesa Boogie Mark 5:25 and got a Morgan PR36. Only 1 channel, 5 knobs. Just a world class clean amp. Simplicity is bliss for me, but I can understand the place an amp like this has. Killer sounds.
Great Video Mates and PT!!! Glad you guys got together!!! PT's amp is totally complete! Saw him with Crab Guts in Glendale and the Tone and Playing were on point!!!! #coast2costwegotitcovered
Pete, I'm a big fan of your playing style! There seems to be no end to your musical creativity! You've got mad skills on the fretboard! Simply AMAZING! But you seem to have the "skittles" when joining other musicians for a sit-down jam or interview. Like you're nervous or something and put too many words into explaining something about an amp, guitar or pedal. Just a little feedback for ya, bro! Keep Rockin!

Not only is Pete a killer player, he comes across so friendly. You can tell how much he enjoys playing the guitar.
Hey thanks Gregg! I still love it!

I love the way the 6v6s squash out bloom and recover without losing shape and definition. Pure California tone, man.
You can tell Pete has worked hard on this product. knew all the settings/had all the answers! I like it!
Pete's going to sound great on just about anything he plays but his guitar and that amp sound fantastic.
Seems very versatile - 3 channels and all those speaker cab combos. Foot switchable and also has a headphone jack.
Incredible looking and sounding amp. But that finish color on Pete's guitar always steals the show in any video. Thing of beauty!
Great amp! If there’s 1 amp that deserves to be on ‘That Pedal Show’ it’s this amp!!! Pete put everything into this amp, amazing
I'm a Pete Thorn geek, I made an artic white HSS Strat (based off his HSS Suhr) with the star pickup being a Thornbucker Plus in the bridge then the singles are V60LP's.

What a wide range of different tones available on this amp - the strat tones were sweet from Mick, Pete's humbuckers sounded great as well

Pete is one cool cat.. Mick really comes to life when he plugs into the actual cab, sweet amp!
There you go. I keep saying it. I can’t play direct sounds no matter how good they actually sound. I can’t feel it!
Not only does it have all the features we need as players, it's the best sounding amp ever made too. It really is.
WOW - Dan and Mick playing with amp gain! WEIRD! Fun! Great demo! You all sounded great and rather like yourselves - even without your regular gear!
So I got my favourite guitarist on my favourite show, Double Stunning!!
I'm 3:15 into this video so apologies if some of what I want to say will be addressed even further as I watch the video, but as a person who plays both a Helix and a tube amp depending on the situation I'm so excited at the possibility of you guys applying "first principles" to a wider variety of technology.

Well, you can’t ask for anything cooler than this: PT driving the PT15 while you play.
Gotta say Pete, an absolutely amazing amplifier. The potential for live and studio both is practically endless. Great job!
Jesus... those IR's are incredible... what a package that amp is
@25 minutes... serious TQ style licks coming through there Daniel
Mick”can we maybe hear it without the delay”? Pete “It’s up to you but no I like it” haha
The bar for emulation just got incredibly high. Fantastic sound.
"built reactive load" ok, I'm listening. Great job Pete!
Great video guys. Love that strat Mick!

Ha, what a coincidence. Last week I mentioned in Pete's live chat that he should go on TPS. And there he is!!!!
That moment when Mick went to name the delay pedal and got cut off by Pete, then Pete let’s him go was comedy gold hahaha

So, so in tune with the needs of a gigging guitarist - great product and great demo! What I wouldn't give to play venues that wanted more than 15 watts...
6v6 tubes have all ways been my favorite!
Very cool amp. Well done to Pete as a hell of a lot of thought has gone into it. Cab and/or IRed DI covers pretty much every situation I can think of.
Love a bonus episode!

The pain of having to dial in patches and tweak etc just is a pain and it’s missing tubes man! Give me an old fashioned tube amp and modern tech with the IRS to keep the sound guy happy and this could be a winner. I’ll have to try it out with a good Vox preamp and hopefully it will play nice with the 6v6s!
Please get Pete over to the UK and do a proper TPS! I’d be stoked!
Holy moly that amp sounds good. That crunch sound is pretty much the exact sound I've been searching for in my endless tone quest.
Amp gain, effects loop, cab simulation, FRFR... So just how alien was this for you guys? Everyone sounded great, so it obviously felt good to play.
Really great video! To my ears the I.R. tones sounded a little more scooped in the mids than the cab tones, especially with the Strat & Tele. Mick’s impish grin returned as soon as the cab was plugged back in, as if to say “now that’s rock ‘n roll!”
Weirdly reminds me of my old 6l6 jcm900 dual reverb, with the cleans and mahoosive gain on tap. The laney Irt-studio which Ive just got is very much in the same vein but the stored IRs are a touch of genius, I'm considering a Mooer Radar for my IRs. And shout out to the Harley Benton G212 vintage, redonkulously cheap v30 plywood cab which sounds awesome.
15:12 = Shrapnel Records Era Dan. I had no idea. Awesome.
Cacophony. Dan, we know you.
It's almost as if you might get one of these little swiss army knives just in case :) Brilliant work with this, combining modern technology with old school needs and tastes.
Game changer. Beautiful sounding and versatile. 👌
It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it eh? We thank you for your sacrifice! :)
So, TPS IR in the TPS Store then? Pweeeeeese!! :)
DANG! I just love technology when it works.
This has made me want to hear Dan, with that neglected Ibanez Gem, reliving his Australian, high-gain days. Dan, I know for a fact those days happened. Will the hair to mullet, push forth your metal ways. Yours in metal, I remain,...
Great amp there. But when Mick says, "Ah! That's the amp we should be making!" This is exciting as well. What's the competition going to do to respond? this seems like a watershed moment in amp history.
Guitar Ted yeah, seems inevitable the rest will also build in the irs. The wave of reactive load boxes with ir is already here though, and a great option for people who already own conventional tube amps, which is all of us really. The suhr ir, ox and boss waza tube amp expanded are all great
There is no Ir of their Mic setup and we really don’t know if EQ was applied to the mic. But if you liked their setup and it was nice you could do your own IR of that setup and I’d bet you’d never hear the difference.
@@johnsuhr6559 Is the line out after the load or in parallel with it?
@@mightymikeamps9317 The line out is in parallel, its the only way it can happen. The Load is a load like a speaker is a load
@@johnsuhr6559 I just bought one for my truck. I drive a Semi (not building amps for a living anymore) I’m going to plug it into the Aux in on my 2019 Kenworth and use that HX effects (4 cable method)
Just picked it up. Tonight is first fire up when I get home.
This is a cool concept . A lot of 60 hz creeping in. Hope theres a ground lift switch to be found. 1'4 inch out or XLR out?
I actually would be interested in a TPS IR. I'm still learning about this stuff.
This might be the among the best do-it-all amps on the market today. That the head goes for about $2,700 USD will frustrate a lot of people, but I think that's a fair price given everything else it includes. That said, I do wish it was a few thousand pennies cheaper. :)
I think it's about time I came down to see you guys armed with some Helix stuff and show you the advantages of a hybrid tube/ modelling rig. Ready when you are guys. I'll bring the beer. ;-)
Cool! Let’s do it. Please DM us. Literally can’t wait for this. Give us your absolutely pinnacle Helix and we’’ll give you some average analogue wet dry. Let’s do it!
@@ThatPedalShow can't DM you on here so sent you one on Instagram. ;-)
And just like that, Mick and Dan toss all of their overdrives into the trash and "That Pedal Show" becomes "That Amplifier Show"!
Highly, highly unlikely. It sounds very very cool, but this didactic opposition to OD pedals in favour of amp gain in a lot of people is just plain weird.
I didn't listen to anything you guys said, I just stared at that Strat/Tele mashup in the background
For 26+ minutes? 😁
Brain maybe damaged a little then bud, may take a technology break
Dang, I didn't know I was clicking on a G3 vid! You guys are awesome! Great amp BTW!
I love both my Suhr guitars! Now it looks like I might be adding a Suhr amp to the arsenal....once I pay off the last guitar :)
I wish Mick would have bought that Strat. Sounds great and fits him so well
The amp sounds great, but as I've got older I like my amps to have fewer and fewer knobs and switches. Sold my Mesa Boogie Mark 5:25 and got a Morgan PR36. Only 1 channel, 5 knobs. Just a world class clean amp. Simplicity is bliss for me, but I can understand the place an amp like this has. Killer sounds.
**Hughes & Kettner has left the chat**
Dan playing it is so great!
Struggling to pay attention because of how beautiful that white tele is.
Epic sounding amp though!
Great Video Mates and PT!!! Glad you guys got together!!! PT's amp is totally complete! Saw him with Crab Guts in Glendale and the Tone and Playing were on point!!!! #coast2costwegotitcovered
Pete, I'm a big fan of your playing style! There seems to be no end to your musical creativity! You've got mad skills on the fretboard! Simply AMAZING! But you seem to have the "skittles" when joining other musicians for a sit-down jam or interview. Like you're nervous or something and put too many words into explaining something about an amp, guitar or pedal. Just a little feedback for ya, bro! Keep Rockin!
That Strat is gorgeous.
That amp is an amazing creation. I want it.
It’s a great amp, no doubt, but £2,799 here in the UK! Just a touch out of my price range...
