That intro was so incredible. I turned an MP3 version of it into a 10 minute loop i can listen to while i drive
Would you say you're a "blues driver"?

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you are not a rich man, you really should be as you are personally responsible for my purchase of at least 4 pedals and one Suhr guitar and there is no telling how many others like me are out there. You are an amazing guitarist!
Hey thanks!
pretty sure he's got money to spare. have you seen his gear?
Chaplin I’m guessing he wouldn’t be paying for a lot of his music gear these days!
Add me ti that list as well!
I can see you trough the forbidden head stock 😋
I've gotten to the point that I don't care what you're demo-ing I'm just here for the awesome music you put out each time. You are a never ending creative fountain! Can't wait for your next cd. Can't stop listening to the first one!
Thanks Angelo :)
What an absolutely out of this world groove in the opening sequence...Awesome.
Watching the video over and over again just because of the music x) If there is something I miss these days is watching and listening to different, authentic and creative music here on youtube
Hey Pete, you can really rock those blues mate. Love the sound of that pedal.
That's some of the finest tone work I've heard in a long, long time. Thanks!
Best BD2W demo I could find on YT, you make it sound like something I could really use!
Your demos are incredibly good. After watching these I have no questions unanswered !! The Internet would be a better place with more guys playing and working like you do !! THX a lot
Thanks!
Dig your videos brother.. I just got my hands on a 2001 boss blues driver for 10 bucks. Woo hoo!!!
Always the best demo-tracks of any gear-centric channel. Great player, man. ☮️
Thanks!!
Love the demos Pete! Also they way you incorporate different guitars, big plus!!
Thanks Gary, I figure some guys dig singles, some guys hum buckers, etc.. :)
Wanted to start moving away from Boss products but you know what some things do not need to be a high price like my Strymon pedals to sound good. Anyway I traded in my Boss BD-2 for a EHX Soul Food big mistake so I took it back and bought a Boss DA-2 Adaptive Distortion it's awesome!! But I miss my Blues Driver now so this one's now on the next purchase list.
Your demos are so good that I find myself more eager to watch videos about products I do not care about: you might show me something that changes my mind.
Never been a big bd-2 fan, but after seeing this video I needed one! I will probably never get it to sound as good as this, but just have to give it a try!
👉You are such a beautiful guitarist👈 Hope you know how much we appreciate you on multiple levels Pete. Any guitarist could use your tone as a template. You are versatile and super lick infested with the reason I picked up an axe back in 1969. Don't ever slow down...please! Thankyou so much for your love of sounding superior. You are a superman on guitar! Godbless!
Thank you!
Another great demo. The last Les Paul tone was huge. The demo songs have been very Beatle-esque lately. Super!! Thanks....
Basically I agree with most everyone here. I cop your licks and impress my friends lol.
Larry Taylor :)
I've been watching for years your videos and you are always trustworthy.I wish you the best!!!
Thank u!
Your the man Pete...my favorite demo guy
Uauuu.. What a great tune in the intro. Top stuff! Great tone and demo. You know about tone mr.!!
Makes a good tube-amp emulator for direct recording. Has a great tube saturation tone.
Glad to see the 335 in action again. Amazing demo, as always.
Your riffs are to die for man
Thanks for watching Christopher!
The VOX AC15 sounds so good!
Great playing, cool pedal, etc.
Really nailed some great tones that i love! That pt100 clean is amazing
Hey Pete. Great demo as always,
You know what would be cool?
A video where you show how you put together your videos.
A Day In The Life of Pete Thorn.
Just a fly on the wall kinda thing where you lay down a basic track, edit the drums , bass etc then mixing and maybe video editing.
It would be really cool to see it come together then get to see the finished article too.
Such tasty jams! You are an awesome guitarist, Pete 🎸🎼👍👍
I bought a Waza Blues Driver based on this review. Great sounding pedal!
that is a kick ass song Pete!! Really digging the riff on the strat...really cool...nice work once again..
+gktii Thanks!
Tasty demo! My favourite part in particular was you running the pedal into a crunchy amp! This is how I run all my overdrives and I often disregarded the BD2! This video helped me see otherwise! Have a BD2W on the way now 😎 thanks man! 🤟
I missed this demo, but the tune on this is so greasy and wonderful. Kudos for yet another great pedal demo. New album please.
That seems like the kind of thing someone would need if they wanted to learn how to play AC-DC songs.
i cant stop watching this video! the song in the beginning was amazing! great work Pete!
Why just because something says 'BLUES" on it, that people only have to play blues? I was originally wanting the waza SD-1 but guitar center only had the standard models and one Waza Blues Driver. I bought the BD-2W and play it through my Plexi 59' reissue head. This thing ROCKS! Bang! there is 'That sound" I love! Dio-Sabbath-Kiss-Aerosmith etc.... All these high gain amps I have bought and sold trying to get that perfect sound that I grew up listening, and then I finally get it with just a stock Plexi and basic Boss pedal! Other brand pedals I have tried(and way more expensive) were good but also a bit too dark and compressed. This pedal gives you that sound without squashing the tone and still lets the amp breathe and feel natural. This pedal puts a smile on my face! I still want the SD-1W for my pedalboard... Thanks Boss!
agree 100%! just got one! very flexable box.
Strat Ocaster my friend Jack from Marmozets runs his into a twin for tasty math metal tones!
With a silvertone too!
Yes yes yes! I know exactly what you mean. Spot on. Incredible isn't it? ; from a plain jane "run of the mill" Boss pedal? And it works very well with others in the chain?! What more?! Yes, it sounds plenty warm enough but with Sweetness AND Clarity. I mean, what more can one ask for? The BD will make your tone sound as Sweet and full as an Elliot Easton solo. When I came across this pedal I finally knew that I could easily get Easton's amazing, lush, candy sweet sound even though this pedal wasn't available until 1994. Did Easton use Mesa Boogies in studio? : 'cause he sounds like it, glassy smooth. It can do a "Mesa" tone too, I think. I understand your love for this little miracle of a treasure though, it's just like, A SECRET WEAPON, Moo ha ha!
Don’t take this the wrong way your ear for music is great. Was checking to see if this pedal’s worth it over the ehx soul food thanks
Great demo once again Pete thorn. Cheers! 😊
Old video but you fkn rock, man - inspiring to watch you play cool shit so effortlessly
Thanks!
I have tried numerous overdrive pedals over the decades, and my main soloing pedal has historically an Ibanez Tube Screamer, but more recently I've been using the TC Electronic MojoMojo pedal. I've paired those both with a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe pedal. I set the Tumnus as my "always on" transparent clean overdrive (keeping it's gain down, and using it more like an equalizer to balance out my Princeton Reverb Amp tones). But something was missing with my lead tone, to my ears. The TS9 seemed too harsh. The MojoMojo seems too dark. I like sustain with crunch, but without being too gritty. Which is why I don't use a Fuzz pedal. I decided I had to try the Blues Driver, and got the BD-2w Waza version. OMG! This was the missing ingredient! After decades of tone-chasing, I now think I finally have the perfect small pedalboard. The chain is Keeley Compressor (makes for a great boost as well as added sustain and equalization) into the BD-2w, then into the Wampler Tumnus, then a Boss Super Chorus, and finally an MXR Carbon Copy. With the pedalboard itself, the cost is about $1000......but worth every penny. I highly recommend the BD-2w. The switch to the "Custom mode" (from the Standard BD-2 mode) increases the midrange punch and sustain, and creates the best tone I've ever achieved for playing Gilmour or Santana-like solos, on either of my Fender axes (Tele or Strat). With all 5 of the above pedals ON at the same time, I get the perfect tone and sustain for soloing over a song like Comfortably Numb, or for the instrumental Europa.
Hey Pete. I love your demos and your playing is very sweet.
+Steven Hayward Thanks Steven!
Came here for the pedal review, stayed for the playing. I have the same pedal and guitar but nowhere in your in the ballpark of your great playing. Great video sir!
Staggering lead! That's how you play a guitar!!!!!
Thanks!
liked these demonstration very much!
Great stuff! I have the Waza SD-1 and its excellent.
Pete, Incredible tone with BD2w and LP at the end of the vid
I was using a BD-2 for my harp mic/amp rig until a couple of years ago. I forgot how sweet that stomper is. I may just get myself the Waza. ..And, Pete, I love your playing. It's tasty, classy, and in the pocket.
That sounded amazing. You sold me. I have to add the modded one now for sure
I don’t toss this out there a lot, but jeez man...you’re really fuckin good.
Thank you Tony!
Who doesn’t love a BD2? Absolute Ripper
Pete could make the Behringer Ultra Metal pedal sound good.
The custom mode making sound louder and warm..Vox ac 15 very crunch sound I like it..
Killer chops! Wow...
Wow! what a demo tune :)
I'll be pickin' one up. Great demo Pete.
Tasty tones Pete, love it.
Damn, that sounds awesome! i used to have a Keeley Blues Driver that i regret selling. I think i need to get one of these 👍
iam actualy starting to watch your reviews just to listen to your exelent and stilish guitar playing :D
This is awesome tone.

So with regards to the cam mic audio in the last clip @ZeppelinRules it's a really vexing problem- it's a bug in Final Cut. occasionally I run across a clip where no matter how many times I turn down the cam audio when editing (I did it twice while editing this vid) it just keeps turning it back up when I bounce the video out to CZcams. It's REAL frustrating. It only happens rarely. Anyway, that's the deal. :) You still get the idea though I hope, even with the cam audio in there :)
+Pete Thorn honestly, that first main theme/riff in the video is enough to sell this pedal! It's one of the catchiest little riffs I've heard in your videos, I sometimes find myself humming it before I remember what it's from. Camera audio be darned!
Pete Thorn Dude. Srsly. We get the idea. You don't have to apologize.
Not that you did actually apologize, but you get the idea :p
hey Pete great video bout this awesome pedal I really wanna buy 1 now =) see ya then =)
I agree with all the other comments great playing.
Thanks
Thank you!
It seemed to me that in the custom mode there are more middle frequencies, as if they added the ts. I'm right?
really good video... a friend of mine has this pedal, guess I´m gonna record some stuff with it....
i just ordered now can't wait
very good playing.
I have to view your demos subjectively. Everything you use sounds badass. When I use it, it won't. Can we get a PT Brain-Finger pedal any time soon?
:)
Put me on the waiting list. I think I will need MIDI as I use TWO FINGERS to hold the pick and two more to press down on strings.
love your style! I had to subscribe!
you got it
Amazing playing, love all your videos! Which one do you like more Pete? The BD2w or the SD1w?
Does this work good with a fender blues junior tweed snd strat?
The stompbox is like a stompbox but the playing is awesome!
Pete you could make a piece of shit sound like gold love your demo's
Excellent demo, Pete. How do you think the Waza Craft model would stack with a fuzz face in front of it? Looking to getsomething to act like a Hendrix style Marshall amp and help boost my Hendrix BC108 silicon FF into a clean set tube amp. Any settings you would recommend for this application? Cheers.
How does this compare with the Keeley Mod BD-2?
All the soul of the original design is intact, but it might offend sensitive doctor ears. :/
The Keeley modded BD2 is highly overrated, and a lot of people prefer the original . the Waza is probably more versatile.
Great way to kick off my day, Thanx!
Hope to see You around the zoo (NAMM)
Please let us know if You will be insane enough to be performing/showcasing there....
I'll be there hanging and geeking out on gear :)
Nice jam man!
Great demo
3:31 sounds like the Wampler Belle tone.
I think SD-1w sounds more organic and it's not limited to blues sound.
I had the Keeley Boss Blues Driver. I wasn't crazy about it. Maybe I was using it wrong
Also a great guitarist.
Thanks!
Hi Pete..I was wondering why I see a lot of players like yourself,that use drive pedals instead of the drive channel on your amp...I have never used any drive or distortion pedals,I always got the drive and gain from my amp...does it sound better to use the pedals for that?
+jspete64 It's just a different approach. Sometimes pedals get a sound that an amp can't like the "tubescreamer into a fender bluesy lead tone". A lot of players also have the amp setup for light overdrive and then use the pedals to push it into more heavy overdrive/distortion territory. Another use is to do things like make a fender sound like a marshall or a marshall sound like a boogie. I don't use any drive pedals (except fuzz) but one of my friends runs his amp clean and gets all his drive from them. No better or worse!
I know this sounds crazy,but I have been playing for 20 years,and I have never used a distortion or overdrive pedal...I currently have an EVH 5150 III,which has more than enough gain,but,could you use a drive pedal on the clean channel?I have never thought about it before,but some of these pedals sound amazing...
+jspete64 Sure you can! You can run them into the overdrive channel if you wanted to haha! A lot of people with two/three channel amps use pedals on the clean channel to give the amp another "flavour". For example, you could set up your amp with channel one being extremely clean and channel two being extremely distorted and then run a pedal into channel one for a light bluesy breakup and effectively turn your two channel amp into three channels! Hope this helps!
+Anchovy Run yes that helps!!Thanks for the advice....I am gonna try that....So it's kinda like adding extra channels to your amp...Definately gonna give that a try...
This is the ONLY Drive/Distortion effect (outside of modelers of course) that I have even considered using. The Sweetly Superb Clarity of it is Absolutely worth "Cheating" with in it's case outside of tubes. I think this BD effect is like in a class by itself is so good that it can qualify as an amp's extended "enhanced mode", kind of like an amp mod since it works so, so well with amps and even other effects itself. It is really unique and highly underrated.
Hey Bro.Pete do you know where i can Cop these backing tracks you demo against? ThankSo much and very inspiring player and that coming form a staunch Metheny guy like me!
Hey Pete, Any suggested settings to run this in front of my Orange rocker 15 to shape the tone of the clean channel? I'm using a strat and jazzmaster
It's funny, when a world class guitar player with a mountain of expensive gear plays a pedal, the pedal sounds great. When I play that same pedal...not so much. Can't imagine why.
Dude it's mostly in the hands. That's the truth. Just practice and you'll get to where you wanna get. The gear is just icing on the cake
Do you like this or the super overdrive Waza better?
Thumbs Up!!
The Blues Driver BD2W sounds very good here. I was expecting a final thought at the end; do you like and recommend the BD2W? As always nice playing Pete :)
Just listen, it's your choice :)
Sounds like you forgot to mute the room mic on the last clip.
