If I feel like watching cool videos on stacking some pedals until they sound like some kind of 80s metal THING and have no idea what he's saying - I watch this guy named SilasCF

+Ola Englund +Pete Thorn I think you both "saved" the HeadRush as the unit looked really disappointing when the first reviews came out.You're both masters for giving G.A.S.! One question, between the HeadRush and Helix, which "feels" less digital and more responsive to your playing ?

LOLOL, Ola, I love your reviews brother. I think you are pretty geared toward metal tones which is what I am generally most interested in as it impacts my personal style. I must admit though I generally follow up here with Pete for varied genre demos. Love you both!

So cool to hear one of these units being used in a way other than ridiculous high gain metal sounds. This tune is so musical and tasteful. Awesome job Pete!

Yes, it is odd considering there are many more non-metal than metal guitarists, that demos seem to be primarily done for the benefit of people in love with the tone killing super high gain sounds.

​@@pauljosse😂indeed ! Yeah I've compared them, the line 6 is cool and can sound good but the Headrush just sounds like the real amp and most of the pedals are spot on inside that thing. You could probably sell you line 6 and buy the Headrush used and pocket$600 . That's what I did and I use the Headrush more because it actually sounds like the real thing !

Top notch. A musical demo not just full on distortion, tuned down metal. I like that stuff but, I like to hear products demoed on a style that shows me what it can do for us gigging Musician’s.

Always professional and always musical. THANKS PETE. What an awesome job you do for other musicians.

Great stuff Pete! "Rush To The Head" is hella awesome. 48h start to finished product... beyond impressive. This is a 5-star channel fo sho!

Pete Thorn..always the best place ever to come when seeking inspiration and wisdom!

One of my favorite songs on Pete's CD. Thank you Pete.

Simplicity,, is the BEST!!! Love how the Headrush makes it so easy to edit on the fly. BUT, also gives you workable presets out of the gate. Love it!!!

Pete - your stuff is ALWAYS A PLEASURE MY MAN!! Thank you for doing it up!

This man is an awesome musician. One of my favorites.

Great review, Pete Thorn! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

You should have a million subscribers! Your demos are great, and your tone secrets are spot-on. What sets you apart, in my mind, from most all of the other Internet shredders/guitarists out there is your sense of phrasing and musicality in your soloing. You're a top shelf player, man.

Pete, that was an exciting video. I could feel your energy and enthusiasm just watching it. That alone sells the headrush. Thanks!

Wow Pete. You're a never ending spring of musical riffs and melodies. You just sit back and wonder how many more does he have in him. Very nice demo.

Well, your tunes have always been great on your Demos but this one is inspired..had to re watch a few parts, wonderful stuff! And you gave us a good tour of what this gear can do through the song too. Remarkable stuff Pete!

What an awesome track! This is the video that made me purchase this unit. I come back just to hear this tune.

Great presentation.....what a treat to hear someone who actually KNOWS what he's doing...and plays well...

Every time I hear him, he's better! What a composition! Perfectly executed.

What admirable talent you have, a very impressive composition and equipment demo. Thank you for the clear descriptions - nice video!

this music really stands the test of time, 8 months later i'm back to tell you i'm getting the mx5 gigboard. and to say this is the best gear demo video i've watched to date and i've watched 1000's. the music is sensational pete, thanks. hopefully the mx5 has the same effect (ahem) on me as your unit did on you ! cheers

Oh man, I can't stop to come back again and again to listen to your jam ! It is so great ! And I just found it is in Spotify !!! Thanks for your music !

Wow, I am really impressed!!! Absolutely fantastic playing and engineering by a man who clearly has total command over a wide range of technique and dynamics with beautiful tone using effects to enhance his sound rather than disguise a lack of skill or ability. Pete's playing here is never a showy exercise of technique, but technique that serves expression. He lets you know that he can shred with the best of them, but his musicianship is about composition, space and time. Pete's review was clear, informative and interesting. He is a great musician with or without fancy equipment and oh yeah, the pedal board looks and sounds like a great investment.

You just rocked that one out of the park! Great Review and great song Pete.

Wow,amazing Demo Pete! Love your playing so much!!!! Thank you ,cheers Flo

Great demo Pete, loved the song too. thank you for doing what you do!

Don't take this the wrong way but the reason I like watching and listening to Pete is that he doesn't make playing look easy. He looks like he's always working hard, and I like that. Most of the great players make it look so effortless that it demotivates me because I have to work really hard to maintain my very basic skills.

Freaking awesome! This guy’s a fantastic guitarist and a genius! I know it’s an older video now but I just picked up this Headrush pedalboard used, from a friend, and I’m blown away by it!

I've lost count the amount of times I've listened to this piece of music. Amazing.

Pete, your new single is EPIC! I love it.

Couldn't wait until the end of the jam to click the thumbs up. Really cool stuff! Love your playing and tones.

I often get overwhelmed by the amount of choices that I have to modified my sound, and end up playing something much simpler. You have an amazing ability to go left, right, north, south, clean wet etc etc and make it all sound well in the context of the same song. Amazing ability!

can't get this music out my head for days, those double octave bends !! this might be my next 'amp' tremendous playing/composing Pete, ty for the upload

Pete - God has definitely given you a gift far above your peers. You just have these iconic moments in so many of your videos. If I were out there in the Big Time world, I'd beg you to be my producer - honestly - because you just have superior taste for sounds and melody.

Your inspiration inspires us all Pete. Thank you!

Very nice playing indeed: love the use of open strings and your great knowledge of voicings. Plus the demo also serves as a good little practical lesson in layering guitars. Excellent all round.

Wow! Great review Pete. I have to go check this pedalboard out. You’re a crazy good musician, thanks for doing these videos! 👍🎸🎼

Great great sounds and playing. my favorite track of yours!

Thx soooo much as usual Pete, for your very enjoyable flavour of genius, as always!✌🏻keep up your much appreciated work. I think I speak for everyone when I say just how much we all look for to your vids. Peace, health and happiness to you bro!

I love your channel. Its the only one I find that isn't all drop C metal. This product went to all the top KZreadrs and you're the only one who demoed it how I would use it. Thanks Pete

I am impressed with the tone of this pedalboard. It sounds fantastic!

Brilliant demo, Peter. Just fantastic!

Thanks for the great hands on review, nice to see how this pedalboard works for a real task ... Cool song!

This is a killer tune Pete:D!!! Love it!!

Great tone and outstanding playing! Fantastic! Thanks Pete!

Excellent as usual Pete. Thanks for the demo.

I ordered one. Sold my Mesa Mark IV running into AxeFx Ultra. Had that rig for over 8 years, feeling blue selling it but looking forward to this one. With a kid on the way, just don't have enough time these days to tweak every single parameter to death and want something that works well and quick to set-up so more time can be spent learning the actual guitar instead obsessing over tones.. that's my goal now

this is a few years after you posted this. better late than never, I guess. I have wondered which modeler to invest in for a while. A modeler is a modeler is a modeler... . So many different videos showing how each sounds, can be used, etc. By you and others. This is the best use of the whammy pedal effect I've heard yet. I think it is the decider. I will by the Headrush! Thanks, Pete! Cheers!

some awesome guitar playing there Pete. Brilliant stuff to watch!!

Pete, you create the most amazing melodies. They inspire me, but more than that they transport my mind to faraway places. I often wonder why you haven’t pursued a solo career, and put these onto an album for fans like me. I would snatch every one up. Nobody’s music has sounded this good to me in a very long time. As for gear demos - I enjoy them so much, but ultimately I realize the magic is not in the gear; it’s in the fingers. Rock On !

Best gear reviews can be found here ! Thanks Pete

One of the most musical musicians today. A lot of guys can play technical stuff that, while impressive, tends to bore me. Pete never bores me. Always interesting songs and playing.

that is a remarkable creation and performance Peter . you are a world class musician .

If Pete just did an album of FX unit demos I'd buy it

Dude has chops, dynamics, and tone. I'm constantly in a state of perpetual hyptnosis when I hear PT'S music. Then his narratives come in and you realize - Hey, this guy is Real! His vocabulary set is idealistic.... I actually can understand what he's Saying! LOL! It's pretty simple.... he's obviously gifted...and has undoubtedly put in untold hours not only practicing...but listening as well. Pete, please come to Sacramento CA for a performance & clinic.

Hi Pete, as always great video and a great song!!

Mr. Thorn, you are without a doubt one of the most underrated players out there. Such an awesome ability to phrase in a tasteful manner. Your vibrato is one of the best and has great effect to a line. You should be a household name. Thanks so much for the demos and review of many pieces of gear. Great explanation provided each and every time. I do hope you are financially compensated for your work. Manufacturer should be beating your door down to have you do what you do.

Great playing and great review of the Headrush pedalboard.

very nice, very clean and a nice variety of tone, guitar styles and very original. Good on you!

once again, Pete Thorn shows how great his is. so jealous of the talent and musicality here.

pete you're an inspiration .... just blown away !!!!

The best Headrush demo. For you, i bougth mine. Thanks Pete.

Excellent demo! Amazing playing!

I learned so much in the first 3:26 by simply watching you play, and how you use your gear to make your sounds.

Wow, amazing, so many adjectives not sure if I would do any justice but IMO you have a unique blend of technical precision combined with expressiveness and musicality that is very refreshing. Rock on dude.

Excellent Job man! tremendous way to play those guitars and music composition. And very pedagogical explanation...!

Killer Tone and Killer guitarist ! Really good demo and music. Thanks Pete !

Listening and watching you play is always a humbling and inspiring experience Pete. Thank you!

Holy crap dude! This is some serious playing. Great effects!

Pete, Great demo man, loved it! I'm on board with this unit, gonna go play one and then take the leap! Thanks for the post ... 😎

Wow, nice one Pete. Virtuoso!

Excellent job!... totally agree about the cabs... the equation being: player's hands + p.u. + cabs speakers = 100% sound... more or less! Cheers and keep on rockin'.

Great tune!! You made everything sounds awesome

Once again awesome video and once again extremely inspirational.

Sr.you do magic with your gear. That pedal board had the honor to be demoed by you.

Every time a fresh sounding track. Awesome playing and musicianship.... also no shit honest review. Thanks fantastic.

That video is filmed all day it looks like the background kept changing from day to night!!! Hard working man!

soulful as always! Excellent demo!

Really great demo. I’ve been debating getting this for a bit. Between your demo and Ola’s I think I have been convinced to take the plunge.
