You don't watch a Pete Thorn demo for the gear. You watch to see a master at work. Great composition!

Dammit Pete.... you're killing me here....I love your playing... your writing... you sir, captain badass

you're more than welcome, you're actually inspiring me to the breaking point... I've been playing guitar, some bass out live for almost 30 years, been there done that, bought the t- shirt.... but, you move me.. there's thousands of players on you tube. they are all great, but you.. you have what It takes to burn my ass to start recording and playing more....recording is going to be my biggest hurdle... but it's gotta happen. 👍 keep doing what you're doing... it's not only taking you places, it's inspiring many...

I'm with you all...just started watching recently & I really enjoy Pete's videos!! Inspiring me to play more again. Thanx Pete 👍👍👍👍

Wonderful playing over wonderful chord changes! Such a pleasure to listen to you Pete.

I love hearing the Alex Lifeson influence in his solos

Thank you for the great demo. It gave me a much greater understanding of how I can get the most out of this rig. I played around with the ideas you suggested and improved my sound immediately.

Short and sweet, love it! Need to save one for myself. Thanks again

That's just awesome review video! Totally fantastic playing and what a TONE!!!

I look forward to your reviews, you never leave nothing out and that can only come from knowledge. And your exceptional abilities. I used to watch a couple other guys but now i know what they leave out of their review, Dude you rock.

Awesome review, been waiting for someone to put this through the paces, you did a great job!

Excellent review. Easy to understand and great examples. Thank you. And…you’re a great player. Enjoyed it!

Wow, great demo of this awesome kit, I'm sold

Yea, I think I listened to he first 2 minutes of this one about 25 times so far. You are a gifted, inspired dude, Pete, to be able to whip something like this up every few days ...

Wow... that was a real master class of playing and composition there. Nice job!

I am very glad you did this demo, I was wondering how the fly rig sounds. It sounds as though it could get you through an average gig - sweet! Thanks Pete, awesome as always!

That tele tone is to die for, every song gets better,bro.. great work

Excelent.... !!! Pete.... the intro was really awesome

Beautiful playing as always! Such tasty lick! Very inspiring, thanks for all the vids Pete - you rock! Have a great day 😊

What an inspiring demonstration. Damn!

Awesome as always Pete

Pete, Great demo & awesome playing !!

Another great demo Pete!

Great again. Thanks and blessings.

Great demo as usual. Great piece, perfect backup for a high end modeler and fine as a main course for classic rock. For the Scandinavian dates on the Mitch Malloy tour I did in 2016 it’s all I used.

another great one Pete. 🎼💣👊

Dude you are one of my fave youtubers and studio cats out there. I was trying to convince myself that the Fly Rig 5 was worth it. Thanks for showing me itnis exactly what I need

GREAT review and demo!!! Thank you!

Yeah, I'd love a breakdown on that solo, great playing and taste

Pete... you are a genuine player! Every note is honest and heartfelt. You rock!

great playing Pete!

Tasty licks! Tasty tones!

I've been using Tech21 products for 20 years. For me they have always been the answer. Thank you bringing the professional respect the unit deserves. I own the Fly Rig 5 Cali and it is awesome. I use it direct for live performance going straight to the PA, the output is low impedance. I wish it had a soft knee compression for cleans, a tuner and another gain stage.

Classy playing, really well balanced between melodic a ripping runs. Great demo!

Hey Pete. This was another great demo with great playing and sound. I subscribed to your channel after watching your Echoplex pedal video, which I did end up purchasing. I have been searching for a proper Brown Sound for years. I have a Freidman BE100, the VH Flanger, a VH phaser, a TC Hall of fame reverb, and now the Echoplex pedal. My journey is complete. Everybody who hears it says "holy cap you sound just like Eddie.." Too bad I can't play just like Eddie.... Anyway, your Echoplex demo was the one that helped me find the missing link for my favorite sound, so I thank you. Thanks again for all of the cool videos you post!

Sounds Great..nice playing!!

Sounds great Pete.

I like your style so much :) Good guy! 5:54 - OMG that sound is wonderful/powerful!!!

fantastic demo!

Tasty! Right on Pete!

magnificent phrasing!

Nice Video... Awesome playing... ♫♫♫

You the man Pete ! . i just ordered one of these just 5 mins ago after watching this video

I have subscribed to all your vids. You have an awesome God Given Ability, that you transmit, into me. In the process of viewing every last video you've produced.! Thank You!

Sounds great!

wow! it's awesome! greetings from Chile!

Great demo.

Super cool! Versatile and affordable little tool.

This little bugger is tiny - don't know how good it sounds by itself really but having a guy like Pete Demo it certainly wouldn't make it shabby. Thanks Pete, you rock!

Such tasty playing!

We want the anatomy of this one too Pete 👍

The Mooer red truck looks interesting too for fly rig. It's fully kitted out

I love mine. Perfect tool for some gigs. Good for high risk gigs, and as a backup. Will it sonically replace my Kingsley and Strymon stuff? No. But sooo much more practical in many situations. Good for certain studio sounds too.

U r d best in doing reviews!

I have the Tech21 RK5 Pairing it with a compressor, a boss GE7 as a mid boost really makes it shine Icing on the cake is a BBE sonic stomp going out...really takes the blanket off the speakers

Tremendous Pete thorn

i like it Pete. thanks dude you kick beep !

really cool!

Dammitt I wish I could play with your fluidity!....

It has that freaking amp like whomp in the low end. I've wanted one of these for years and this video reminds me once again why.

Great demo. :)

my god that Yaron burst sounds incredible :)

Fantastic !!! :)

great intro!

I'll wait for your rocking on the RK5 before I make my purchase! Been looking at that for a while so I don't have to drag around the 50lb board! Please make it hard rock and some spacey vibe stuff!.

Great demo. I've drifted from multi fx to amps to tube fx then tried a line6 hd300 and I've never been happy. Maybe this is the live solution I need. Keep it simple. Now just to decide which one..

amazing video!!! make another video about flyrig rk5 kotzen signature like this one with no amps!!!!

Great jam,

You can just tell we on the edge of major changes to guitar "amplification." Yes, there's always been other equipment on the fringe, but you can definitely see the day [not too far off] in which tube amps are the fringe. Real nice job Pete. Of course...I want one. Hard to believe it's only $249.

That intro reminds me of Rush. Wonderful stuff!

I'd love to see the Fly Rig compared to the Para Driver DI, which has an on-bard Sansamp. The Para Driver DI has the DI part built right in and it's phantom-powered. Seems like a cool backup amp solution without having to actually take a second amp.

Had it. Prefer the drive section in the FR5 to the RK5. But found the Sansamp section a bit lacking in volume. It was hard having unity volume with a clean tone, cause you had to rise the gain so much to be even. Still a great concept.

The FlyRig sounds awesome here. I sold mine because I hated the loud noise floor my unit had.

esperando uma demonstração completa do FlyRig RK5 agora.

Awesome video! Could you please do a demo for the RK Fly Rig as well? A comparison between the two would be great as well. Thank you :)

Even the clean stuff direct has a thump & balls... What a crazy good, crazy product. Just got one for a cruise ship gig & if it sounds as good as this, I'm gonna be selling off a ton of pedals & amps. Wow. Technology at it's best right here. Hearing Pete demo it is the icing on the fookin' cake.

fml, I have one of those from the old days, mate suggested burning it rather than trying to sell it haha

Me likey!!!You gonna demo the RK fly-rig too, Pete???

Every demo tune compilation please. 😎🙏

I used the FlyRig5 as the foundation around which I built my pedalboard. I run all the drive before the FR5 and all the mod and delay after. The SansAmp section gives me TONS of shaping options and I really love the Plexi portion as a hefty drive, then I use the DLA with a very short delay and a bit of "Drift" (mod) as a doubler to give me a sort of Robert Palmer/April Wine kind of sound. I have a wah, Klon, 808, and Ram's Head Fuzz in front of it, and a Memory Lane Jr. delay, Electric Mistress, EQ (for a shaped lead boost) and RotoChoir leslie sim in back. It all runs out in stereo to a 13 watt Fender Excelsior and a Vox AC-15. It sounds great with the stereo leslie, and even better with the addition of dueling trem circuits on the two amps!! Swirly fat goodness!

interested to know your power supply for that board? cheers

I have the Flyrig RK5 (The kotzen version of this). I've never readed about the 0 levels on eq and 10 on mids.. Did you read on the manual? Great review, mindblowing playing, as ever!

Pete, you're such a tasteful player! I really enjoy checking out all your gear reviews. My Fly Rig 5V2 came last week and I am pretty stoked so far. We ran it direct into the Focusrite last night and were blown away by the professional sound quality. One thing I've discovered about it is, I can't seem to get any harmonic feedback when I want it - no matter how close I shove the guitar pickup in front of the amp. Sometimes I WANT some feedback, like at end of a song or lead part. I plan to work on it some and see what I can do with it. I probably just haven't had it long enough to tweak it to my liking. But thanks for another great review!

Man, this sounds like a great option for solo gigs are shows where you want to have minimal gear on stage: I’m also looking at their Acoustic Fly Rig for the same purpose.

I have an Acoustic Flyrig. It's great. Works well for acoustics, jazz guitars, and clean bass.

As usually that was awesome...!!!

Nice Pete. I actually heard ( what sounded like ) possibly a little ( R.I.P. ) Allan Holdsworth-like lick @ 1:08 - 1:17. Then the usual Pete Thorn melodic Ripping. Love the solo. Great stuff as usual. Detailed and Informative explanation. I can't imagine how you house & maintain all that gear.

great playing and review! any chance you could do a review of the fly rig Cali.

can this man play or what guys?

Tech 21 do some amazing gear it has to be said, doesn't break the bank either :-). Sounds like his Fender Bassman does it? that'll do! :-)

Pete , this is without a doubt the best review/ demo of this pedal out there . I 've got one and love it - so sent the link to a buddy to help him make up his mind . You've inspired me to do some recording with it ...... might try an overdrive pedal into it too ? Do you have any thoughts on that ? ( I was thinking a Friedman BE OD) .

I use one for live gigs (Cali version, better for strat imho). Cool devise, my workhorse! 550 grams only, zero problems on transfer, decent analog sound, easiest interface possible.

HI Great review, i got a trouble with the vol level between the sansamp module and the overdrive, when i active the disto de difference of volume is huge between both (sorry my poor english) Thanks!!

Wow!! Great playing brow!! Big fan of your channel!! Could you please help me out, how does it compare to the nux Cerberus? Which one would you recommend for live playing, mostly jazz, blues and rock n roll…sometimes need a full distortion! Tks

Pete, once again, the pedal might be good or not, but your playing is out of this Earth!!!!

pete, please demo and review the new fly rig, brit flyrig and cali flyrig

i actually have prayed to Jesus about you doing a video of fly rig and here I am !!!

Great demo! I'm curious about how the tone control of the plexi section was set, was it at 12 o clock? It's a great nice rocking distorted sound especially for the rhythm parts, but it is also very bright. Would be interested to hear if it'd be possible to tame it a bit.

hi Pete.. enlighting review as always, i have the flyrig rk5, however i couldn't find the best setting for the sansAmp, if it is connected directly to amp, i feel like the sound is beeing conpressed..

Anyone have any experience with using pedals in front of this ? does it work well or not .. I'm thinking a fuzz and tremolo and reverb especially

This thing sounds ... I love Pete's playing. I'll leave it at that.
