I saw a review of the new Tascam and the guy demo'd it with a "song he wrote "
It was a beat.
You demo things with actual compositions with various guitartones and backing tracks.
It's great.
Like to see a review of the F12-X200 maybe using a AXEFX and IR's?
I helped Brittany Bowman make one, you can find it on her channel and it’s also on the Celestion site. She uses a helix with it
@@PeteThorn just for info wise I checked out celestion website and no video on demo for that speaker, I'm curious too how it compares with running that with amp model, cab and speaker sim vs 2x12 reg speaker setup. I'm running right now my podgo thru a Laney ironheart 120 head into 2x12 cab with a v30 and g12-65. It sounds great but it's eating me up if the frfr celestion 2x12 setup would sound maybe better? I tried the headrush frfr-112 and it sounds good low volume but cranking it up you lose your all of the reg speaker cab feel you get when playing heavy rock or metal.
Pete this is one of my fave channels! Question: I just got a Friedman BE pedal- would I need to run it INTO a preamp pedal before the Powerstage?
You could use it for crunch or lead sounds right into this! You would sort of have the sound of a BE mini head then, essentially
Every single time I'm thinking of buying some piece of gear and Pete Thorne has made a review I get 10 steps closer to buying it. Not only the reviews are great, but everything sounds great with him playing. What a monster of a musician! Thanks, man!
Meanwhile, that neck on your Suhr looks drop-dead gorgeous!
Agreed!
Amen
It sux when Pete’s demo jam would be the best song you ever wrote..
What are the disadvantages of combining the SD power stage with a fractal into a real cabinet on stage?
FINALLLY! I’ve been waiting for someone to show a video pairing this up with the Iridium (which I already own) and I wasn’t disappointed! I think this and a couple of nice small cabs will be my next purchases for small gigs. Thanks for another great demo video Pete, sounded amazing as always!
Hey, help me out here, guys. I love vintage 30s in a marshall cab, but even a 412 is just 120 watts. Would I blow it by using a seymour duncan powerstage 200?
You are a class act Mr Thorn! Stunnning tone as always.
hi ..is it loud enough with a 8 ohm cab?? for a band..i can't find 4 ohm cabs for full power!!.. thnxx 🎉❤😊
Do you get the “amp in the room” feel with this setup? (Iridium + powercab + real cab?)
Thanks Pete .... Excellent Demo and Guitar Work !!!!!!!!!
Very smart and helpful use of a broad range of signal chains here Pete. Appreciated.
My god this Suhr!! Gorgeous!!!
And that's amazing how we can gig today with only a 2x12'' cab and a pedal board with a nice preamp, fx in the loop and a kickass power amp like that...!! I remember the tons of gear you had to have in the 90's if you wanted to cut through the mix...
Beautiful intro song, I really loved it. I’m GaSing for the Duncan powerstage 200 with a strymon or line6 he stomp as the preamp.
look at this gorgeous neck!
(talking about the guitar, just to be clear :p )
Pete coming at us all with sweet tone and unbelievable playing as always! I’ve been wondering about one of these for ampy pedals. Great review!
Thank you Pete for this great video! Now only one thing missing on UA-cam is a comparison video between Powerstage 200 and Mooer Baby Bomb 30
Loved the Hollies cover however brief. Bet Funk 49 would sound perfect with that.
I like this format of demo. Very well done and informative. Not too technical and...great music!
Thanks for the great demo. Informative.
He made me buy 3 pedals already hahha😅
Another winner!
Holy flippin' cow was that intro tune gorgeous ❤
Thank you!
Hey Pete great video. All your vids are excellent. I know this is 3 years old, but have a question. Im going to buy a Kemper and debating on powered or un-powered. How do you think the Power Stage amp would compare to the powered Kemper? And I saw you have a Brian May Red Special. I just bought one. Do u love it as much as I do? Thanks!
Rude man who shushes people.
i assume it works with any ohm cab? do i not have to worry about wattage either? just curious. i feel like i was told that all that has to match for my entire career as a musician and now everything is changing.
Thanks Pete,
Thanks Seymour!
A sweet sounding piece of kit. Thinking about the 200, hard, now.
Love your content! This is the review I needed for the Powerstage 200! Thank you!
Like you ain't lovin that beautiful red Suhr! As if!! ha ha. Such a lovely fiddle Pete. John has more class ..........thx brother.
I know it is rated at 200w, but can it be used on smaller powered cabinet, say 30 or 60w?
This product seems very similar in principle to my Tech 21 Power Engine 60, except of course the PE60 has a 12" speaker. That amp works really well with all my modelers and I imagine the Powerstage 200 would behave similarly. As an interesting bit of trivia, tangentially related to this product, the only tube amp I still own is actually a Seymour Duncan... the 84-40.
Totally agree about the principle being the same as the Power Engine 60. I have the same amp and it is amazing with a modeler!!
@@ballardsully3494 - Indeed it is.
Sounds Stevie Ray, Eric J, and Hendrix, then Satch......its Pete. Nice contrast between the parts. The clean parts are like book ends. The pedal is nice too.
I come for the gear review but then commit suicide listening to Pete’s intro’s every time ...ugh- unbelievably perfectly awesome.
Amazing playing, I was interested in the power stage …now I wanna hear more thorn 🤣🤘🏾👍🏽🍻
Hey Pete - amazing demo. Are you using this with your QC while touring? Or something else?
What do you think is better with the helix for live application. The Seymour or the fryette ps2?
Great Review Pete! Paul @ The Randy Rhoads Society
Beautifully composed & played Pete.
Hey Pete, I notice in your video ur PS 200 does clip for the preamp led also. Any reason why, is it your input had been hitting it too hard?
Quality as always Pete.
Great stuff I'm sure. But at the end of the day, by the time you buy the Seymour Duncan amp, the strymon amp simulator, then run it into an actual cabinet. Maybe just having a single great combo amp, which of course you have, ends up being more cost effective and just better sounding..
Where did Gil Yaron go? I liked that sound.
I know I’ve been neglecting, I literally have to just put that guitar in this room and play it more
Came for that Suhr, and Pete, wasn't disappointed.
Absolutely inspiring guitar playing.Every demo you have done is a song on a new album.
Can you use the speaker out and the balanced output at the same time?
Pete seems to play the HSS shur a lot more than his signature HH Suhr..... ??????
Absolutely stunning intro piece! Incredible as always!
Thank you Shannon!
How loud is it compare to matrix gt1000fx can it get close to it????
i had the 170 but had to get rid of it because covid but now im playing ina aband again so i may get this one now
Hey Pete, this or the 170W, you think? Thanks.
Pete has more beautiful toys than Santa great vids
Brilliant demo , Doug rapport did a great demo off this too a while back . Would be great to see a jam between Doug and Pete , both total masters
I enjoy the variety of gear you demo. thanks! and of course the music as always.
i´d say, make a record out of your intro tunes, it would be a great instrumental record. i thank you for your work
Amazing and beautiful song
Hands down the best dude for reviewing and demoing gear. Some nice, wet tone there, Pete.
Anyone know what FRFR cab that was?
Fucking good guitar player you are
That is one pretty guitar. I'm not sure if I would spend more time playing it or admiring it.
So the thing on the Sig was an "Awesome Limiter", designed so that one does not blow up moddler style amp heads. Its about the size of a tuner. I wonder what he's got it set to.
Hey Pete, thanks for the video! Quick one : what’s your opinion of using this to re-amp your reactive load to a cab VS using the power station from Fryette, and using effects between the reactive load / powerstage? Can you go whisper volume on both? Thanks!
Sure u can do this!
Great vid, Pete. Might be a handy little amp for people who want to try a wet/dry rig too.
Amazing! People throw around "greatest of sll time", but Pete, you are a serious contender for objectively, well, GOAT, a musical powerhouse and of so much intrinsic value to the arts, a treasure to the world. I truly admire and look up to you. Also, of all music I love, yours is firmly at the top; I listen to groomed noodler @ SUHR 2015 at least a dozen times a week, and it's always the same absolutely amazing a performance for the ages.
Pete, you usurped Rush as my royalty #1. Rush has, until I discovered Pete, always been the finest music by the finest musicians Earth has to offer. To supplant them is something I say with gratitude that I did not miss out on your tunes. A serious decisove moment when I heard Groomed Noodler. Changed the bar.
Hi, thank you so much man!
Awesome demo. You’re such a great player. Keep it up!
That would be great as a wet amp in a dry wet rig..
Sounded Vai-ish in that intro great demo Pete
Exactly how loud is it maxed? Equivalent to a 50W tube head maybe?
I'm looking for something to power my Quad Cortex and I don't want to drag my rack power amp around if this will do the job,
but I also don't want to be underpowered at the gig and get drowned out
There's also the Powerstage 700 which is 700W per channel solid state, but if this would cut it it'd be better
Anybody with gigging experience on it?
I've gigged out plenty with the PS-200, it's way more than loud and clear enough for my needs. Many of the gigs I played with it was where I was onstage with another guitarist who was playing through either a Peavey 6505+ or an EVH 5150 III 100 watt head, and I never had any issues with being overpowered. I know another guitarist who just got the Quad Cortex about three months ago and has been using it with a PS-170 and says that he gets plenty of volume and clean headroom from that for both rehearsing and gigging so I would imagine the 200 would be fine as well. I'd say volume-wise yeah it's probably at least as loud as a 50 watt tube head, though of course the feel of it is still a little different being solid state.
hoping for a stereo version of this....
you rock man, thanks for an easy to understand cool video. \m/ -_- \m/
Thank u!
@@PeteThorn No problem man! :D I was wondering if i could ask you a question about gear since you seem very into guitar stuff!? :p I respect if youre too busy with your studio btw, but does a service exist, or a piece of hardware, where two people or a band could jam together online (even in different countries?) without too much lag to ruin all possible chance of synchronised play? .. i hope you have an answer, im finding it a bit hard to find jam-able people interested in classic rock here in Denmark and maybe i could solve it with looking for international musicians. And as someone who cannot fight the love for Rock and 80s metal! -It's kinda .. wrong not to know any other dedicated musicians. O_O the music scene is basically dead in my surrounding area. its so bad i dont even own an amp anymore, i use guitar rig 6 which honestly has impressed me :D but i miss jamming, thx again, and have a kickass day! - james june
I’ve been hoping you’d cover this.
Stereo in/ out missing.
i liked the tremolo work, thats cool
Hey Pete! Great song and demo. What's that amp on the floor to your right? Comet? Thanks!
I think I took my Komet out of the Amp shelf to make room for the power stage… So yes I think that’s it on the floor
@@PeteThorn nice! I never heard of it but if you're playing one, they must be good!
Man you always sound amazing but the last few demo videos have just been unbelievable
Thank you Cody!
Any thoughts on how this would pair up with a Tech21 Flyrig5v2?
Yeah that would probably be cool!
@@PeteThorn Thanx!
Love that cool mode...
Thanks Pete!
What drums do you use on intro? Sounds amazing
I recommend Addictive Drums if you want Drums that sound absolutely massive, it's truly the one stop software drum DSP.
Pete! Wow! What an intro :-) Amazing...!
Thanks!
😊👍
Anyone knows what power output is at 16 ohm?
According to the specs from Seymour Duncan, if you go by continuous power ( i.e. Continuous Output Power without thermal shutdown), I'd say it breaks down roughly as: The PowerStage 200 puts out 140 watts into 4 ohms, 117 watts into 8 ohms, and 58 watts into 16 ohms. I have plugged it into a 16 ohm cabinet and it's been plenty loud and clear. Hope this helps!
@@nvmbrsdoom5 thank you. 👍
That Suhr sounds so nice. when can we expect to see some of these top shelf custom guitars exported to the UK?
Peach Guitars man! They’ve always got a good selection
Also guitar guitar, I did a clinic for them in Epsom... Birmingham... and also I’m pals with the guys in Glasgow… And did some clinics in their other shops as well they are great too
@@PeteThorn Thanks for the hands up i'll track them down, I am essex based, Clacton on Sea so a bit of a drive away. I will need to play before buying. To make it even worse I'am a lefty brain wired completely different to most folks
Nice review. The Suhr was gorgeous. I had tried the Powerstage 170 to run my Grindstein, but I actually just upgraded to this one for those extra features. I think this will be a great "at the beach and need to hide from my wife's crazy family" piece of equipment.
I would have liked to hear it using a few of the better OD's.
You know, I’m just sort of not down with that approach so that’s why I went to preamp pedal route. I feel like part of my job here is to educate and I think people have a misconception that an overdrive pedal is like an amplifier. In my opinion it needs to have a full tone stack and basically the various stages to of an amplifier circuit, replicated with fets or modeling in order to sound good in this sort of set up. Plugging an overdrive into a power amp is absolutely no substitute for a real tube amp experience! We never would’ve given that sort of approach a second thought in the 70s or the 80s or the 90s. As a matter fact things being all tube was incredibly important to guitar players then, Any sort of diode clipping or fet’s was frowned upon... I’m not that hard-core about it certainly but I am sort of old-school when it comes to this stuff. And also what happens when you need a clean sound? You turn off the overdrive pedal and then it’s just the equivalent of running your guitar direct into a solid-state power amp? That is just tonally flat and lifeless. I’m just not down
Pete Thorn Well said Pete! I fully agree.
Shawn Tubbs demos it with some OD pedals, if you haven’t already seen his video. It sounded great both mic’d and DI with the XLR.
ll am saying if you are going from an Iridium into a poweramp I see no reason why adding an OD in front of it is weird.According to discussing this with the techs at Strymon the whole Idea works great. (they even tried it themselves) In short the iridium with pedal style amp and a full range speaker becomes your faux stack) the idea is see how a Fuzz and or OD etc sounds.
Do you need a guitar amp with this? I'm confused
The Powerstage is the actual guitar amp so you don't need anything else. You would run your pedals or modelers straight into it and then it outputs to your speaker cabinet.
I have 2 iridiums on my small board set to run wet/dry/wet. What was the model of the frfr celestion you had in the 1x12 cab? That could be a great alternative to the powered frfr cabs out there.
Hey Pete, the camera mic wasn't too bad, interesting to see what it would take to get the room to sound better over the camera mic?
Would this be any improvement over the power amp sim in the cab m? Would it need a load box if just connecting it directly to the cab m without using speaker through? This pedal is intriguing but having to lug around a guitar cabinet with a pedalboard rig is sorta counterintuitive for me. I'd rather just go with a portable pa and power amp sim if the improvement on the DI end is negligible.
I think the thing is some people just like guitar cabinets and speakers. The experience of playing through a guitar cabinet is always different (more familiar for most) than playing through a full range system. If you were to use a tube amplifier with this then yes u would need a load box. You could also use this pedal with something like an iridium to play through a guitar cabinet
Is it possibile to use it with the triamping
What a disaster product. This will b the shortest run in history
A simple light powerful power amp? What’s wrong with that?
Pete Thorn functionally it’s fine and I’m sure there’s a buyer for everything but market position wise it’s low growth IMHO....most enthusiasts/modellers are playing direct or via cab sim and anyone wanting to mic up a cab w likely want a tube power section for the trouble....you know like the PT15 😉
@@Atttuner However awesome the PT15 indeed is, it's not going to be safely portable enough to take on a plane when traveling for festival gigs, tours, etc. or even just those who'd prefer to travel to local gigs as lightly as possible. I'd love to take my tube amp with me everywhere but it's not practical, and I prefer having mic'ed cabs onstage, so the PS-200 works perfectly for me for that. Plus having it be so small that I can throw it in a bag or case as a backup in case my regular amp breaks down is handy, too.
@@nvmbrsdoom5 I can see how this w b better do u use cab Sim? If so what tool?
@@nvmbrsdoom5 when u can’t mic cabs I mean....do u use a sim?
I like to thin he has different shirts for lead and rhythm
