This might be my new favorite rig rundown, instead of talking for 5 minutes about 30 pieces of gear Pete can talk about 5 pieces of gear for 30 minutes. I love guitar players who really know their stuff. Wish to see more like it!
I don't know why I connect with Pete's playing more than any other country player. To me he has this "everyman" style that I love. Great note choices in all his work with Dwight.
What a Legend of the tele style!!! All those early recordings when he played for Dwight using an Esquire were lessons on how to play honkytonk, a true master class!!!
Everytime i have a severe case of GAS, i return to this rig rundown and just wish, somebody loved me like Pete loves his first generation POD. This video is a humbling experience.
Never heard of this guitarist although I've seen his face pop up on youtube here and there. Anyway, about 12 minutes in right now, I'm loving this rig rundown. Great job, John!
Wow great rundown. Finally a guy without a mountain of gear that simply made his guitars work and then plays the paint off'em. Love his playing since Guitars, Cadillac's and his reverence for tone and feel. Awesome! Thanks guys!

PETE ANDERSON THE GUITARIST OF THE WORLD FROM HOLLYWOOD NASHVILLE AND EAST-SIDE DETROIT! ROCK ON ! JAMIE FRESH Bev Hills
I've been putting together a playlist of Pete Anderson interviews (and a couple things like an Ask Zac video about his playing) because he has so much useful stuff to say about guitar, being a pro musician, etc. The Quarantine Lounge interviews in particular (like 4 hours of interview with Zac Childs) are amazing.
I like how he looked scary and angry at the beginning but is actually a fun lively guy. And how he just exposed manufacturers and players obsessing over the traditional old way of doing things and equipment that blinds them from seeing how good and just getting better innovating companies and their products become.
Jody Maphis (the guy that sold the pre-CBS blackface Twin to Pete), son of country legend Joe Maphis, is one of the coolest guys I've ever met. If you're ever in Nashville, go to the Fidde & Steel Guitar Bar in Printer's Alley and have a chat with him and the people there! Go on a Wednesday and jam at the writer's night open mic! Excellent interview.
I own a couple boutique amps and had fender amps. I still remember the power of the old POD. They actually sound great. Ian Thornley of Big Wreck cut his first(might have even been the second) album through a POD. He has some serious tone. I still prefer an amp but the POD is a close second.
I know people who have had AXE FX and went back to Pod XT. Crazy but true, but maybe not crazy. Old Pod units are about to become classic gear. Just like with analog gear, newer doesn't always mean better.
Had to come back and listen to Pete explain how he absolutely destroys through a couple of PODs, tone is everywhere people, but mostly in the heart and hands! If I could tell any young player any type of tone secret, it’s to really explore different speakers before you trade in your rig! Wish I knew that one younger, 😬🤣👏
chrohm yes exactly... just like I never use compressors but when I do I use keeley. Although, his best tones were always his esquire into deluxe reverb. Although, for Dwight he was using 6l6’s in deluxe with EV’s and special upgrade transformer. Funny, his DVD he did such an impressive demo of the line six stuff. I went out and purchase $800 for my home stuff and totally never used it and was frustrated constantly trying several times. The talent he has, is amazing. I laughed so much at your comment, cause I totally got it.
He makes interesting points about Gibson vs. Gretsch designs on semi hollows.Use a Streamliner now, and I think it looks and sounds better, but the old Epi Dot I had for years played easier and felt more organic.Part of it is the neck binding and thinner neck profile on the Gretsch, which isn't common to all models-, but there is something with the neck angle.Though the designs can be very similar, there are def distinct tonal differences between the two, that can be leveraged or minimalized via pickup choices.Actually learned of several players via Reverend.
This guy is very different from the typical RR's. He does things surprisingly modern and lightweight, yet still boutique. He also talk erratically and a little crazy, making Bohlinger's job easy but harder to interpret than most guided conversations.
I saw Pete a while ago (maybe 20 years?) and got a chance to hang out after the show. He had two twins on stage even though it was a small club. 100 people cap. I couldn’t believe he was running two twins. Then he showed me the secret. Two PODS going straight to the front. The twins were completely hollow. No speakers or anything.
I'm not sure how to deal with this amp thang. I spend thousands on amps, cabinets, and effects. And of course all that stuff takes up room in my wife's house. And of course it's all heavy as hell to pack around. Then you are faced with the occasional recap and tubes. Or you can pick up a Line 6 Pod off of ebay for 50 or 60 bucks and down load sample tones until your mind explodes for free. I think I'll keep my amps and save the Line 6 for the assisted living home. Excuse me nurse...., would you change my diaper, get me a beer and find my Pod please. Damn it Pete you just destroyed everything I thought I learned about gear acquisition syndrome. (G.A.S.) I'll deal with that in the home too.
'back in the 60's you would hear Satisfaction by the Stones and Tiger by the Tail on the radio" that's *so* descriptive of the 60s....glad I was there 😂
Pete is the man!! He definitely knows what he's talking about! His solo in Guitars, Cadillacs is one of the best solos ever recorded!
His runs on Crazy little called love,ain't bad either.
i guess it's pretty off topic but do anyone know a good website to watch new series online?
@Deandre Trey flixportal :)
@Kane Karter thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !
@Deandre Trey happy to help =)
this is one of the best rig rundowns ever.
. . . yes, and the irony is that he doesn't have a rig - he uses a POD. lol
Thank you for that rundown I have never heard of Pete Anderson before but was blown away at the use of the older pod and his coolness.
This might be my new favorite rig rundown, instead of talking for 5 minutes about 30 pieces of gear Pete can talk about 5 pieces of gear for 30 minutes. I love guitar players who really know their stuff. Wish to see more like it!
Pete Anderson was as much a part of the sound of Dwight as Dwight’s nasal passages!!!! Freaking amazing
Without a doubt one of my favorite interviews on Premier Guitar. Great job John letting Pete tell his story. 🤘🏼
I don't know why I connect with Pete's playing more than any other country player. To me he has this "everyman" style that I love. Great note choices in all his work with Dwight.
Probably the best rigdown yet. Pete is so informative. The guy knows his stuff. Love his playing and a great player
So underrated as a player and artist. Saw him with Dwight in maybe 99 2000 and band was so incredibly tight. Pete is the man.
dum, he's not ' underrated'
much better when they talk to the older guys on these rig rundowns
I agree. These guys don't waste time and get to the point.
What a Legend of the tele style!!! All those early recordings when he played for Dwight using an Esquire were lessons on how to play honkytonk, a true master class!!!
His sound was the backdrop to my early ‘90s high school years. Can’t thank you enough, Pete!
This was an outstanding interview!! Pete seems like he's a really nice and earnest cat. Thanks PG!!
By far the most in depth interview on every level..guitars, smps and the Mel Tillles story..fantastic
Everytime i have a severe case of GAS, i return to this rig rundown and just wish, somebody loved me like Pete loves his first generation POD. This video is a humbling experience.

What a great interviewer. It's so nice to see an interviewer that lets the person being interviewed actually talk.
Fantastic Rig Rundown ever! And that's even without Ms. Dirks, so that says alot. Thank you.

"I don't have a pedalboard? What's wrong with me?! We gotta call somebody!"
God love yah, Pete ;)
Love this! One of my "Guitar Slingin" Heros!
maybe my favorite rig rundown ever
The Line 6 seems more practical if it give you the tone your after. Very down to earth interview.
Gotta love a player whos generous with his experience thx
This is great guitar and music lesson. Pete rocks !
That was a great rundown. I find it interesting that many of the older guitar players are shifting to a simpler setup.
pete anderson reminds me of every uncle
..the most interesting rig rundown....for sure...
He was playing "Working Class!" We used it for the theme song of "The World Labor Hour" which ran for about 25 years on WEFT-FM Champaign, IL.
I've been putting together a playlist of Pete Anderson interviews (and a couple things like an Ask Zac video about his playing) because he has so much useful stuff to say about guitar, being a pro musician, etc. The Quarantine Lounge interviews in particular (like 4 hours of interview with Zac Childs) are amazing.
Great episode!!
Guys for real, best episode yet.
A quote from Wilko Johnson...
"I don't use pedals. I'm a guitarist,not a cyclist."
Lmao. that is hilarious
I like how he looked scary and angry at the beginning but is actually a fun lively guy. And how he just exposed manufacturers and players obsessing over the traditional old way of doing things and equipment that blinds them from seeing how good and just getting better innovating companies and their products become.

Great interview. Nice guy!!

I spent a week with him one night playing a gig in Alaska
nice sense of humor and I'm looking up his signature archtops too
I own a couple boutique amps and had fender amps. I still remember the power of the old POD. They actually sound great. Ian Thornley of Big Wreck cut his first(might have even been the second) album through a POD. He has some serious tone. I still prefer an amp but the POD is a close second.
You Canadian??

One great interview.
That time of the week,finally! :)
Amazing musician!
Rockabilly Rogues Indeed!!

"I only play guitar > cable > amp" "Here's my complex antique POD setup with MIDI etc...." :D Great player

Pete is one of my favorite players and a huge influence on my playing. I wouldn't play the way I do without his influence.
Pete is an awesome person & a fantastic guitar player. Do u have anything online that we can check out?
This guy is very different from the typical RR's. He does things surprisingly modern and lightweight, yet still boutique.
He also talk erratically and a little crazy, making Bohlinger's job easy but harder to interpret than most guided conversations.

Peter Anderson is fascinating to listen to.
Top speakers!! I love mine!!
I thought the same about gibson hollowbodies until i discovered 339s. Love mine!
A great song writer too...
my autograph is on that bathroom trim!! LOL
Great guitar/music talking!
My brain just exploded on overload! Wow!
I'm not sure how to deal with this amp thang. I spend thousands on amps, cabinets, and effects. And of course all that stuff takes up room in my wife's house.

That's the difference between those days and the garbage you hear now days
Pete is a real humble guy...wow.
I'm seeing more and more amazing players moving to Reverend guitars.
I think there's probably a reason for that.
Can you believe 10 idiots put thumbs down on this?!? -
Best Rig Rundown yet -
This is so sweet ..I didn't want it to stop.
I love his description of a sexy guitar.
Pete's doing it his way
I would love to meet this guy..
pete is into and knows his rig....kool
Look at Bolinger's shirt - I love the guy!
never seen staggered tuners before, very cool
I like this guy. lol
7:18 That right thumbnail of his could slay dragons 😂
This dude knows his guitars and what he wants.
I'd love premier guitar to rig rundown with Jason Newsted that would be awesome!
I've been fortunate to have been loved by many a broad shouldered woman... sexy, sexy times.
Lol, nothin' wrong with that my friend, nothin' wrong.
great interview..love Pete's stories! the guy is Hype!! lol
Love that. Pete Anderson Rules!
Amazing..., who would've thought...?
His playing on Michelle Shocked : Short Sharp Shocked is deadly
What kind of pickups were in Pete's signature hollow body guitar? They don't look the same as the pickups that come stock from Reverend.
You can tell that John is genuinely fascinated with the interview. But then who wouldn't be right?
That guy he's talking about in the beginning on his label is likely Moot Davis. Check his stuff out!
Freaking love Pete Anderson..
Would really love a Rig Rundown on Blackberry Smoke.
Love Pete Anderson!
That is a cool guitar.
Cool!
This guy makes me want to listen to country, and I hate country. What a hoot!
john looks like he wants to kiss him immediately xD
this gentleman is very smart, do not underestimate him, let me paraphrase it in a stupid, rude way: he knows his shit
Love this guy
Nice axe looks like my Guild StarFire late 60’s
Surely a guy who knows what he wants and how to make it work. One thing is certain, Dwight's whole band blows since Pete left.
Pure excellence!!
"Now it's all fragmented and segmented". For real.
great vid
The hollow Rev looks & sounds great. He is right. I have a lot more respect for what we used to call top 40 radio. It was quite diverse.
Didn't he do the back tracks for Guitar Centers King Of The Blues events?
yep
is the host the same guy that calls himself Rockwall on RFD-TV's Tru Country?
'back in the 60's you would hear Satisfaction by the Stones and Tiger by the Tail on the radio" that's *so* descriptive of the 60s....glad I was there 😂
Agreed👍
Still have my bean pod👍
I believe Pete had a little too much caffeine...
