Description
World renowned guitarist Pete Thorn is not only known for his touring and session work with legendary artists such as Chris Cornell and Melissa Etheridge, but he's also considered by the guitar community to be one of the foremost authorities on tone. That said, we can confidently say that Suhr's Pete Thorn Signature Head is perhaps one of the best sounding and most versatile amps we've ever played! A jack of all trades, and a master of what seems to be all of them. The cleans are reminiscent of that iconic Americana surf vibe, while the drive channels range anywhere from a punchy, British crunch to full-on destructive overdrive. The amount of time and effort invested into this amplifier is immediately apparent from the moment you turn it on, as it is designed with sound, usability and efficiency in mind - all channels are fully operable via 4-button MIDI footswitch, the drive channel features dual gain and level controls for independent rhythm and lead tones, and the series/parallel effects loop comes standard.
CHANNEL 1 (CLEAN)
CRUNCH: Engages an additional gain stage for selected channel for a smooth crunchy overdrive sound.
BRIGHT 1: Adds brightness and sparkle to Channel 1.
GAIN 1: Adjusts the overall gain level of Channel 1.
BASS: Adjusts the amount of low end. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of low frequencies, giving you a fuller tone. Turning it counter clockwise will reduce the effect and tighten up the bottom-end which is useful when performing at louder volumes.
MIDDLE: Adjusts the midrange. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of mids, giving your tone a fatter response. Turning it counter clockwise will produce a mid-scooped sound.
TREBLE: Adjusts the top end. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of treble, giving your tone clarity and brightness. Turning it counter clockwise will produce a warmer sound which is excellent for dialing in smooth fluid-like lead tones.
LEVEL 1 (MASTER VOLUME): Adjusts the overall output of Channel 1
CHANNEL 2 / 3 (OVERDRIVE)
BRIGHT 2/3 SWITCH: Adds brightness and cut to Channel 2/3.
GAIN 2: Adjusts the overall gain level of Channel 2.
GAIN 3: Adjusts the overall gain level of Channel 3.
BASS: Adjusts the amount of low end. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of low frequencies, giving you a fuller tone. Turning it counter clockwise will reduce the effect and tighten up the bottom-end which is useful when performing at louder volumes.
MIDDLE: Adjusts the midrange. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of mids, giving your tone a fatter response. Turning it counter clockwise will produce a mid-scooped sound.
TREBLE: Adjusts the top end. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of treble, giving your tone clarity and brightness. Turning it counter clockwise will produce a warmer sound which is excellent for dialing in smooth fluid-like lead tones.
LEVEL 2 (MASTER VOLUME): Adjusts the overall output of Channel 2
LEVEL 3 (MASTER VOLUME): Adjusts the overall output of Channel 3
BOOST: Adds additional boost to selected channel.
