REAL EF86 TUBE GAIN! SLAM YOUR AMP! Hagerman Boost 

Mr. Pete...you can make kite string sound great! Jam on

The first minute of this video did it for me...killer tone Pete... And your playing is definitely in the pocket.. It feels good... You have been such an inspiration to me....thank you.

Man that thing sounds phenomenal! The compression it gives on the fat chords is so smooth but the lead stuff has great attack!

Sounds awesome Pete right my street. Great demo!

That lick at 6:13-6:15 is sick! Nice playing and great tones.

Yaron LP into the Komet...WOW!! I sat up and took notice. Well done sir!

Amazing as always! Love it!

That lp sounds smokin!!! So crunchy and aggressive! Sick song btw too!

delicious tone and playing Pete. You give the best demos on RU-vid my friend. God bless

Sounds great, thanks Pete!

Dear god you are making that Les Paul sing. That pedal sounds incredible!

That is sweet sounding. Love your channel and reviews.

Sounds great Pete!

Pete, hot damn! You just kicked it with a great playing! Love it!!

Sweet as always!

Sounds great Pete 🎸🎵🤟great demo

I really love your videos... I have a JMP 50 w clon, handwired, and i use it clean and crunch it with a Plexitone clon (in Argentina everything is so expensive!!). But i’ve learn so much From you!! Now i’m getting close to the tone that i always wanted.... thank you, Pete... really thanks!!

Nice kit sound on the demo. The (internal?) mic on the kick was sweet. That little Princeton really came alive. Nice.

Sounds great in all applications. Really want one now.

Sounded great kicked in on the clean sound.👌

Great sound mr Pete

Sounds excellent my brother! And very easy to use. 🤘

Came for the pedal demo, but stayed for the sweet riffage. Nice chops (as always), Pete. 😎👍🏻

Killin it Man! Duel leads sound phenomenal! Dude you inspire me to up my game on guitar. Love your vids! That pedal sounds incredible. Thanks Man!!!

There is something about an EF86 tube tone that makes my day everytime!

Most important for me was how it boosted the clean channel without causing distortion! Nicely done bro :) So it can boost cleanly and enhance the crunch of already distorted tones as well! F Ya Soooooo tempting

At first I thought it sounded okay. Didn't realize you started with the pedal off, when you turned on the sound was great!!! very full sounding

Finally dusting off that Komet! My dream amp. Freakin’ killer!

I know Jim Hagerman and the designer quite well (initially from the high end audio world), really talented engineer. I have the overdrive version of this pedal and love it! I especially like adding it to an amp that already has gain, it's like having another tubr gain stage Without having to mod your amp, blends in well with a distorted tube amplifier pretty much better than just about any other overdrive pedal I have tried.

GY + Komet + Hagerman = tone for days!!!! Regards from Italy

OMG!That Komet amp sounds killer!

You are the man with the tasty licks my friend : )

I love that vise you use to hold the pedals - still trying to find one I like

All tones great.

Nice work on this Pete! Great playing and you seemed to get the most out of this pedal. Might possibly have to ponder if I need yet another overdrive, lol.

Hi Pete ... one of your best riffs, i loved them! 0:21

I like your fancy tabletop pedal holder...aka vice. Your rock Mr. Thorn.

uaaaa! pt-15 crunch - sick tone!

The red strat sounds great, similar to Blackmore! Well done.

Dude, this jam should be on an album. Tone sounds great too!

Late to the party here but this looks like it would be sweet thru my 61 Princeton Very cool Pete good track too

Dr Z has put the ef86 into a lot of his amps. I've had a few. They're REALLY dynamic...very sensitive to pick attack. Very cool.

I definitely heard some Jeff Beck sounds in this !!! Nothing wrong with that! Slamming pedal.

Digging the new hairstyle, man... (amazing playing as usual, that's implicit)

You sure cost me a lot of money Mr. Thorn. EF86's are such a great preamp tubes...used in some of the old, classic Vox circuits that I love so much. What a killer front-end boost. And as always, tremendous playing.

OK, the pedal sounds good, but DAMN does the kick drum sound KILLER on this track Pete! Well done!

Luv this $hit! The Eskimos are just buried in ICE... Killer crunchy licks on this demo man!

Damn that was nice!!!

Cool song 👏👏

Interesting pedal! I wonder how it compares to Fryette’s Boostassio (and/or S.A.S.) since also use the EF86 tube. Killer tone coming out of the Hagerman for sure! I have the Fryette S.A.S. myself, and although it seems to be a different circuit, I can definitely hear a similar “sizzling howl” on the sustained bends (like from 06:00 onwards) coming out of the Hagerman, which I believe is related to the character of the EF86 tube. Great job BTW!

Sounds great. That lick @6:11 is bad ass! Reminds me of Schenker.

Nice!

Man your GOOD!!!

Killer...as usual!

God, I love hearing you play.

Sounded killer in front of the pt15 clean channel!

Pete, your videos are always inspiring. I love this pedal or device if that's more appropriate. GOD truly meant for you to play guitar !!

I love tube powered pedals!

Mike and Hogy would be proud you’re using their Concorde! All their amps are killer!

That sounded fucking awesome into the komet

Pete, this LP, is it a Gilyaron Réplica? Congrats for your job and your chanel!!

my favourite preamp tube!! Why dont more people use these???

holy shit that kick almost blew out my speakers

Yeah iv played a komet a lil bit , pretty nice .

Man that extra oomph it gives the bottom end is friggin delicious

Just here to see the Red Signature Guitar which I ordered today! 🎸🔥😀

Killer sound! Plus at $220 on Reverb not an insane price all things considered.

That thing is like chili on a cold day yum

Butter!!

oooh I like this one! 😜😜

As always, I'd love to hear it on bass!

I wonder if this would be almost like adding an EF86 channel to an AC30/6TB. I love that amp, just wish it had an EF86 channel like the UK Heritage series.

It seems priced to sell. $219 is in the same area as most modern high quality small-maker pedals. Cool pedal.

I’d love to hear it cleaner through the clean amp

Pete, have you tried the Kingsley or Delisle ef86 pedals?

Sounds great !But How do I mount this on my board? The tube is due to get wrecked on a let's suppose a Pedaltrain

EF86s are cool

Any piece of gear that can produce a bouncy, tight and punchy CHUG as that thing appears to do, will work for anything I play.

Could it be used on a bass pedal board as a pre-amp for a direct signal? I use a EBS sheehan pedal for my real distortion but my clean tone could use a bit of punch more so than dirt.

Get the fuggoutta here! My God man. Stellar player.

Reminds me a bit of the Bogner La Grange.

I use the Kingsley Page... Similar concept. How much was that Yaron like 12 grand?

Fryette makes EF 86 pedals I had the boost and now SAS pedal waited a long time for someone to make a new pedal. EF86 sounds great with the Vox circuit.

how about this into a cab m+, helix stomp ,or iridium?

That pedal looks like something from the Russian base in Civil War in the final battle.

komet sounds fantastic. boost sounds great. do you know what value cap was switched to?

A pre amp into a pre amp into power amp ?

What speakers are you using there? thanks...great playing and pedal

I got the Friedman Motor City Drive. Not sure... you want me to ditch it, Pete? ;-)

Would this tighten up the low end enough for drop A/G# or more just adding another gain stage?

So- it's a Butler Tube Driver with an EF86 instead of an 12AT7... hmmm. Sounds good though- maybe a bit better then I can ever get my Tube Driver- I don't know how EJ, Dave and AT do it and make the thing sing so well.

Gasp what a tone!! AC 30???ish

Brian May tone?

Huh. Doesn’t running the EF86 into a 12ax7 driven loop or preamp defeat the purpose? As in the wiser dynamic range of the former is then bottlenecked by the narrower range of the latter? No snark intended, just curious.

I saw Dave Grohl standing in the corner. Pedal is great!

One of the most delicate valves ever made...in a pedal. Sounds great though.

When will the jam track / songs (linked in the description) be available outside the US (-> Germany) ?

I would Loooove to hear this on the loop of say.. A Boss Katana, just like a tube stage to "warm" it up and give it that tube feel.

Pete, sounds tits up! Interesting pedal for sure. Your playing is tops dude! One thing I'd like to mention is, I've noticed the more amps and guitars and equipment I have the more I have to divide my attention to everything I have. Your saying that about your amp is a perfect example!! You said "I don't know why I don't use that amp more, it sounds great" I tell ya, It's like having way too many girlfriends!!!! It sucks because in the end you are driven crazy (at least this happens to me) so I came to the conclusion for now to use only the very best sounding equipment and guitars, and NOT by how much it cost me but how well it sounds... Now It all makes so much more sense, and sticking to certain guitars and equipment enables one to REALLY get to know an instrument and gear. Mentally I'm more sane (at least I believe this) lol Yeah, I can't help it but I think I'm a one girl is enough type of guy lol Just thought I'd share that, anybody else go through this out there?!

I'm not worthy!!! Pete Thorn is GOD!
