Andy Wood and Pete Thorn did an excellent job demoing the Suhr products. Pete Thorn needs to get a solo album out. The boy has some serious skills. Andy was frickin' amazing.
I hung out late with Andy,Rob,Carl,Jimmy, and Pete. Andy had some cool stories to tell. We all know Andy can play, but he is a great human being. He really deserves everything he has coming. The food provided by shark driver was excellent. Brother, sorry you could not make it. Your guitars were and are beautiful.
I will not comment on the guitars. I am sure there will be some video posted soon. I picked up Andy's cd and had him give me his autograph.
I have to mention that the KOKo boost is amazing! It has a clean and mid boost in one box.
Well I guess we have to wait for some video postings.
 
It was a total blast!!Some great,great folks :rock: Pete and Andy are monster players for Suhr!!!Great job by the suhr gang and Tone Merchants!Thanks for having me there!!!!!!!
 
Pete's amp sounded really really good!

I loved how he could go from vintage to modern Marshall tones with it, and Andy could really nail country clean sounds which showed off the versatility of the amps and guitars.
 
Two great guys with chops to burn, must have bee a great hang :thumbsup:
 
What a killer weekend for sure man!!! Drove about 860 miles this weekend. 330 from San Jose -> Oxnard area to visit Jason (jngman69)...95 miles to visit Tone Merchants in LA...and 95 back..... Then 330 back to San Jose today. So that's like 860 miles!!!!

Was a beautiful drive down the 101 for sure. Not boring, or tiring whatsoever. The mountains are beautiful all the way down.

Just arrived back into my hotel room in San Jose, and am glad to rest for the evening after a long, but GREAT weekend.

So...onto the festivities... What grabbed my attention the most was playing Peter Thorn's own CAE PT100. Peter let me jam on it before we left, and it was definitely bitchin!!!! Owned the CAE SE+3, and that PT100 smoked it IMHO. I'm definitely gas'ing for one of those after January NAMM What the coolest part of jamming on his amp, is that Peter was "dialing the knobs" in while I was playing....And he even told made the comment..."Man you're a good player!" I was like...woah...that's killer to get a genuine comment from someone like Peter. What a friggin day. Was also cool seeing Peter jamming on my Flamed out Sparkle Strat for a bit. From jamming with Jason, to meeting Andy Wood, to meeting Peter Thorn, to meeting with John Suhr...what a killer day!!!

Sat and talked to John Suhr for about 30-40 minutes, and that was awesome. Didn't know what the blower switch, or the "push push" pot on the tone to put the bridge bucker in parallel...which is what Andy Wood has on his..and it's killer. Gets that "tele" tone in a Suhr Modern. John said I could ship back my Pro Modern, and they'd do that for me on just my Pro!!! What customer service!!!

The only amp that stood on par w/ my Eggies was the PT100. For just a "2-channel (or 3 depending on how you look at it) type" amp...damn that thing is awesome. There's no changes I'd make to it tonally. I'm excited to see the newer design they'll have at NAMM.

Definitely has me also gassing for another Suhr guitar though too. Would love a modern w/ mahogany, or a "Tele style" similar to Peter's. Got to play it too...and it felt AWESOME!!! His guitar had the blower switch on it too...and that's just so damn cool.

All in all...it was a AMAZING weekend. I LOVED it. I have videos from my iPhone I can upload, but the sound quality sucks... :(

I was at sound check. So great, standin' on stage hearing those guys right up front. Pete is a rock monster, great feel and chops. Andy spent a day with me at my studio this week and really blew me away, what a great guitarist. I haven't stopped playing since he got here.
