Excellent, excellent demo. I have one of these, I leave in the chain at all times - guitar sounds naked without it. 🎸 Don’t use many FX but I run 2 Marshall heads into two cabs that run in stereo. Try & Stay healthy out there everyone !
This is the first modulation pedal that I think actually makes me sound better. A major achievement lol . The SDD-320 side with button 4 is my current fav. . Superb with high gain too. Adds a secret sauce that is super satisfying adds space and a super subtle second voice that does not detract in any way from your base tones .. hi fi , Stereo is nuts lol seriously fantastic pedal .
Oh man! Making an SDD-320 mode on this is such a great idea! That rack unit's chorus sound is basically my dream chorus sound, so I'm super excited to see that in a analog pedal format.
i dont know for sure, i think (i heard) part of the circuitry is digital cause for the sdd circuitry wouldn't fit the case, but for sure the dc part is analog. But take it with a grain of salt, it MAY be all analog...and it's what boss claims
ok, my bad...I think I misunderstood Rabea's video...it is just that on the sdd-320 part is not the original complete circuit for the (obvios) previously said reason (it wouldn't fit) and that it wouldng go well having all that in the pedal
WOW!! I had NO CLUE that this pedal had sooo many cool tones, always thought this pedal was sort of derivative of their Chorus (which IS amazing too) and never realized how much of its own thing it had going on---really cool and as always, Pete is the player I want to see demoing a pedal cause I know that as a viewer I will see everything the pedal has to offer, that's just a fact.
Cool. A new version of a classic old pedal. I never owned this one - I had the standard Boss CE-2, but I have played through the original Dimension C and remember it was a truly unique sound at the time.
Pete, I immediately bought this pedal based on your review. I loved the clean sounds, but as soon as you played Rush it was all over for me! I've been trying to get this tone for years. I plugged the pedal in and immediately got it!!!Great review thanx from one Pete to another.
After watching three demos by guitarists who refused to play with any sort of real overdrive (as is typical of most FX demos), I found this video FAR more useful. Thank you.
Loved the Steve Stevens homage at the beginning and of course that fat Limelight tone. Roland/Boss really do make great effects and they're mostly affordable for the common musician too.
The best demo for this pedal, you really need to listen to modulations with distortion, because most of them will sound nice clean, but not so much with dirt. Rush sounded spot on here
I just dug into my box of goodies and nailed that sound with a flanger/chorus and a phaser. Because each has it's own settings the tones you can create are endless.
Did he get Alex Lifeson to play into Pete's looper? lol. Spot "ON" tones & playing.........Never knew about Roland/ Boss studio grade rackmount gear.....Interesting for sure......."Flesh for Fantasy" was stellar............Thanks
I used to have one of those originals waaaaay back. Sold it when I went to a rack system... amazed at the prices they fetch for a pedal with so few controls. This one has a few more tricks. Really does sound great!!
That demo was ridiculous. I bet that alone will sell a good number of these. This really stands out from the other demos I've seen for this pedal this week.
Just a follow up to my previous post. This pedal exceeded my expectations. Running my acoustic electric Composite Acoustic thru it to a Bose Tower system. I got it set on 2 and the slider switch to the left on S. It sounds as good as the Boss Chorus pedal I had in the 80’s. I looked at all the new Boss Chorus pedals before I bought this one. It does not disappoint whatever level of chorus you’re going for.
For a while now I’ve been debating on getting this pedal. But I couldn’t find a video that did it justice enough to make me get it.Until now!! 3yrs after this aired I’m just now seeing this, and u totally did it justice. This is exactly what I wanted it for. Thank u soooo much. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
The most spot version of Flesh- I was listening without watching and could not tell the difference between you and Steve- insane! Pedal sounds great!!!
Ahhhh Thats Hot Pete. Playing your buddy's licks. I honestly believe that Steve Stevens ( Flesh for Fantasy ) is one of the Greatest Guitar Tracks of All Time. The valley's and peaks when Steve goes from that Crystal Chorus to that Dual Rectifier Distortion of Doom. You and Steve Motivate me so much.
Michael Caz I was just looking for that tune but didn’t remember the name. What a pleasant surprise when Pete covered it on this video , and now I know the tune’s name. Last time I’ve heard it was more than 25 years ago.
That particular Guitar Track - Always stood out for me, because of the Variety of Sounds and textures that Steve Stevens played on that song. Even the tonality of the clean vs. the distortion. Epic. If you want to hear the broad-range of Steve Stevens listen to these 2 tracks: Cinecitta and Letter to a Memory. Goes from Flamenco to Heavy Rock.
Excellent demo. This is how a proper demo should be done: No wasted time, good recommendations for both dirt and clean channels, combined tones, etc. A+ video!
Today I bought a mxr analog chorus but after I watched this video immediately i went back to the shop and changed it with this nice chorus pedal its more expensive but it absolutely worth it
This is IT! This is how we used to get those gorgeous tones and landscapes "back in the day". I feel like Indiana Jones now finding the grail. Finally.
Great explanation , remarkable musical recommendations, not too long video and awesome musical real songs demos, no wonder why this is the best UA-cam channel for gear content!!
I’ve been looking at this pedal and I’ve tried it in store and it’s awesome! I’ve been on the fence a bit, but the tid bit about srv was a surprise but makes total sense. That’s what convinced me to pull the trigger. Great video. Thanks
1/28/2021, I purchased and just received my Boss DC 2W based a lot on this Pete Thorn Video demo. It IS everything and more for what I wanted and expected. Peter always brings the Best out of anything he demos! I am a huge Chorus fan and this pedal is so much more, as he explains, then a Chorus pedal by far. I was surprised by how it reacted to dirt too. I’m going to hook up my rig in stereo today to see what it will do, should be fun...By The Way this being my first Boss pedal I was very impressed with the build quality and shear weight of it. It’s Built like a Tank...
That is really cool you mentioned SRV using this. I read an obscure interview he did once where he mentioned using a chorus to “fatten” up his tone occasionally, but never really heard it. Thanks for mentioning it. I never heard of it after and that was probably 25 years ago.
some dude bought this beside me at the cashout in the music store had to see what it was as the clerk & him were giddy like school girls... god damn what a sound its an 80's synth stomp box!
I was searching trying to find how Steve Stevens creates the tone for Flesh and someone mentioned a Rockman and a Dimension D. Considering it's unlikely I can actually purchase an original Rockman I searched you tube for the Dimension, found this video and low and behold here you are playing the exact song! Wow! Thanks for this vid! Update: I got this pedal and love it. Play it mostly with a Reverend Descent. The baritone with chorus and a little shaken tremo and I’m in Robert Smith territory.
I was just thinking that the stereo outs into two different amps separated with some distance would also enhance this "doubling" effect! Woohoo as always Pete, excellent work nice video!!!!!!

FINALLY someone did FLESH! That is THE demo for this pedal.
And played it beautifully. Nice touch!
Purple Rain? But, yeah! Love Flesh for Fantasy!
Flesh!
@@danwest9900 pppppppppppppoooooooooo obo ooo
6uuuyuuuu
Do you like good music?
Do you like to dance?
The "Flesh For Fantasy" tone was pretty spot on!!!!!
Perfect
Initially, I thought he was doing a Jamie West-Oram pastiche.
The unbeatable Dimension C - the only non-seasick chorus. Nothing beats this.
That intro just cost me £169
Same here!!!
Ditto 😅
What a wonderful guitarist
When I grow up, I wanna be like Pete Thorn.
Simon Yung when I grow up, I wanna be just like you.
Try to be yourself it will be difficult enough.
Follow your dreams Yung man.
@@omarbell4579 lmfao
@@omarbell4579 Hahahah 😂
Was being lulled to a comfortable cozy place, then you woke me up with the Limelight riff!
Agreed.
No surprise to me. That cozy comfortable place was drawing from Rush's No One at the Bridge.
My favorite Rush song.
Now I'm gonna go listen to Billy Idol and RUSH !!!
Limelight 🐶🎵❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man, Pete just never fails to deliver the top notch goods. What a killer demo. The Flesh for Fantasy thing was a perfect demo for this pedal.
As soon as I heard Billy Idol's Flesh for Fantasy my hair stood up on end. The tone sounded perfect.
Damn, Pete regularly does the best demo's on UA-cam!
I came here for the Dimension Pedal Demo, but you Guitar Skills are REAL... so musical, so filled with life.
That Flesh for Fantasy was dope. One of my favorite Stevens licks.
This is going to be a huge seller for Boss
Best demo of this pedal I’ve ever heard
Limelight.
LOVE when you pull out the Rush stuff.
The Limelight tone was perfect too, dude youre amazing
This is a classy pedal. It stacks lovely with drive, and even with other modulation pedals. You'll forget it's on. Until it's off🌴
0:33 - 1:43 ... the genius of Steve Stevens
Excellent, excellent demo. I have one of these, I leave in the chain at all times - guitar sounds naked without it. 🎸

yet it seems they did it digital, cause it wouldn''t fit in the box
Oh, I must have missed that. So it's a digital simulation with no BBD chips?
i dont know for sure, i think (i heard) part of the circuitry is digital cause for the sdd circuitry wouldn't fit the case, but for sure the dc part is analog.
But take it with a grain of salt, it MAY be all analog...and it's what boss claims

Best chorus pedal demo I've heard by far. Never really thought about "playing" a chorus pedal the way you can play an overdrive, but you did it.

You're a great player Pete, but it truly shines to an even greater degree in when you play clean tones.
After watching three demos by guitarists who refused to play with any sort of real overdrive (as is typical of most FX demos), I found this video FAR more useful. Thank you.
I still truly dig the sounds of this effect thanks Pete thorn.

that arrangement is wicked!!! Close my eyes and takes me back to the 80's!!!!

Sounds like Belew era King Crimson, incredible sound. Great demo as usual
Dude... I already loved your demos but in my search for a new chorus you did Limeight! Amazing
I can't believe that this pedal has eluded me. Thanks for the demo 🙏
After watching this video a good 10 or so times over the last 6 months I've finally bought one
Pete Thorn, you're the coolest dude ever.
Yes! I was hoping Boss would send you one to demo. Now I want it even more after watching you use it.
I just dug into my box of goodies and nailed that sound with a flanger/chorus and a phaser. Because each has it's own settings the tones you can create are endless.

Man... I'm back in the 80's. Flashback me with that chorus.
Best sense of time in any guitar player I have ever heard. Amazing playing. Oh, and the pedal sounds great, too!
That demo was ridiculous. I bet that alone will sell a good number of these. This really stands out from the other demos I've seen for this pedal this week.
Man “Flesh” was awesome! Very interesting about SRV too.
thanks for the demo,you always do a great job!

3yrs after this aired I’m just now seeing this, and u totally did it justice. This is exactly what I wanted it for. Thank u soooo much.
🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
I'm comvinced, I'm buying one of those, BOSS shut up and take my money
oh, man... flesh for fantasy!! what a great track... thanks for the excellent demo!
FLAMES 🔥
“Living on a lighted stage……”!!!!!! Excellent video and showing of the sounds. I love this pedal
OMG It was about time, BTW the Dimension D was intensely used by Andy Summers at some time in the Police too, great demo as usual, thanks
What a great musician Pete Thorn is.
Hey thanks for watching and listening! :)
The most spot version of Flesh- I was listening without watching and could not tell the difference between you and Steve- insane! Pedal sounds great!!!
a 5 STAR job buddy !! one of the best no frills..excessive talk mumbo-jumbo stuff. REALLY appreciated this. AWESOME dude !!

Best 80's cop movie soundtrack I've ever heard.
Oh yeah !! The video as a whole is awesome. " Flesh" was killer !!
Settings 3&4 is a perfect blend.
Excellent demo. This is how a proper demo should be done: No wasted time, good recommendations for both dirt and clean channels, combined tones, etc. A+ video!
What a combination, Pete Thorn and one of the finest pedals in the world, I can recall first hearing the dd and this matches if not surpasses it.
Flesh for Fantasy. I always liked that tune!
Transported straight into a scene from Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy on that demo. 😆 🔥 👌
I've always thought that flesh for fantasy had a chorus pedal! thank you! Pete!!!
Today I bought a mxr analog chorus but after I watched this video immediately i went back to the shop and changed it with this nice chorus pedal its more expensive but it absolutely worth it
I need this pedal to set me apart even more from all of the other Guitarists around here 😎
WoW! finally someone playing a song that fits the pedal! Billy idol- fresh for fantasy, well played and a great showcase for this pedal.
That was, hands down, the most immaculate version of Flesh For Fantasy I've ever heard.
Thanks! Such a great tune, Steve is a legend
Limelight by Rush is the perfect pushed OD sound to demo this pedal, amazing
Finally, a great demo of a pedal I really didn't get when I first tried it. Didn't know you could hit 2 buttons together. Lol.
You gotta be kidding me...is there anything musical you can't adapt to....damn Pete, you are the man.
This is IT! This is how we used to get those gorgeous tones and landscapes "back in the day". I feel like Indiana Jones now finding the grail. Finally.
I will take yours thank you. ua-cam.com/video/RcRlhsEezGY/v-deo.htmlsi=nDZcyRSM9uprlG_F&t=19
My day is always better with some Pete guitar playing. Liked the pedal, too!
Great explanation , remarkable musical recommendations, not too long video and awesome musical real songs demos, no wonder why this is the best UA-cam channel for gear content!!
It’s demos like this that are so informative and it’s like we’re just hanging out playing with some pedals. I’m sold on this one - Thanks Pete!
Good Lord take me back to the 80s. Great job!!!!
Sounds beautiful and elegant. Pete you really rock.
I’ve been looking at this pedal and I’ve tried it in store and it’s awesome! I’ve been on the fence a bit, but the tid bit about srv was a surprise but makes total sense. That’s what convinced me to pull the trigger. Great video. Thanks

Ordered mine today. Should I buy a Chorus pedal too or no need?
honestly ... your one of the best guitarists on youtube. thanks
Thank u!
Two of my favorite... Boss DC2W and Dr. Scientist Cosmichorus.
This will look nice next to my new H9. That Suhr sounds epic. Those riffs took me back to the 80's. Epic Pete!
That is really cool you mentioned SRV using this. I read an obscure interview he did once where he mentioned using a chorus to “fatten” up his tone occasionally, but never really heard it. Thanks for mentioning it. I never heard of it after and that was probably 25 years ago.
Pete Thorn most likely just sold More Dimension C pedals with this DEMO than anyone is ever going to
It also seems that Gary Moore used it for the rhythm sounds on songs like "Still Got The Blues (For You)", "Story of The Blues", and "Separate Ways".
You definitely nailed that Limelight tone! If it's good for SRV, it's good for everybody!
The original is my fav chorus-y pedal. Will be fun to compare this new version with it. The lights on the buttons are definitely an improvement!
some dude bought this beside me at the cashout in the music store
had to see what it was as the clerk & him were giddy like school girls... god damn what a sound its an 80's synth stomp box!

I watched sooo many videos on this pedal, this one is the best! also ty for stereo!
Pete Thorn is my favourite. Always loved your videos. Can you please make a comparison video on Boss Dimension c dc 2w vs TC Electronic 3rd Dimension?
Late to the party, but super tight review, thanks Pete!
I was just thinking that the stereo outs into two different amps separated with some distance would also enhance this "doubling" effect! Woohoo as always Pete, excellent work nice video!!!!!!
Doing Steve Stevens proud! Generally not a big stomp-box guy, but that's a pretty nice little piece.
Wow. I think I just entered into a whole new dimension after listening. Thanks for sharing!
THIS is how to do a demo. Well-done.
Wow just took me back to some Dann Huff memories
Great demo Pete. Mine just arrived yesterday. Will try with my acoustic today thru a Boss tower system. Trying to improve tone for my solo project.
You rock Mr. Thorn! Best demo videos on UA-cam!🤙🤙🤙
That is so lush sounding really chewy tones beautiful sound pete
Hey Pete, I love that nod to Steve Stephens. I know you guys are pals too.
Classy licks, brother. Classy and glassy.
Your performance of Limelight made me smile
