Danish Pete's Rig

Danish Pete really has played for an amazing roster of artists. Tom Jones, Il Divo, Lionel Richie, Nicole Scherzinger, Atomic Kitten, Westlife, Girls Aloud and Paloma Faith! Of course, no rig rundown with Danish Pete would be complete without talking about his legendary Purple Fender Telecaster or the mighty "The Dane" pedal from ThorpyFX!

Pete's playing style is full of expression, from silky smooth and melodic licks through to snarling rhythms. That's why his signature ThorpyFX stompbox was built with versatility in mind; primarily a dynamic overdrive that features a separate "boost!" circuit too.

Pete's new signature 51T pickups from Monty's Guitars are also a key ingredient to his tone, and are heavily based on the spanky single-coils installed in his Custom Shop Tele. Danish Pete's regular amp-of-choice on Andertons TV is a Victory V40, which is why the British company has made him a purple signature version of their best-seller - the DP40 Head!

Danish Pete's New Signature Gear!

More often than not, Pete plays his stunning Fender Custom Shop Telecaster in demos; unique for its vibrant purple finish. As a gift from his wife, Pete uses his Telecaster not just because of its sentimental value, but more so for the unbelievable tones it offers. An affordable Squier FSR version is available too, emblazoned with Pete's signature purple colour scheme!

Of course, Pete plays plenty of other stunning guitars on Andertons TV. This includes his blue Fender American Standard Strat that he toured all over the world with, and an old Gibson Goldtop Les Paul. The G&L ASAT Special is regularly seen in videos too, as well as Pete's PRS "Paul's Guitar" that was gifted to him by the man himself!

Danish Pete's PRS "Paul's Guitar"

As the video team manager at Andertons since 2015, Pete has played through literally hundreds of pedals over the years. So, when it comes to which stompboxes he uses on his own personal board – you know they must be pretty good!

Pete’s main pedal is the aptly-named "The Dane"; his very own signature stompbox from ThorpyFX. Essentially a 2-in-1 overdrive/boost, this versatile pedal covers a lot of ground. The overdrive side is super-responsive to your playing dynamics, with a high-headroom quality that excels for blues. The boost side is also very expressive, but has a much fatter sound for creamier lead tones. Things really get cooking when both circuits are used together!

Danish Pete's ThorpyFX "The Dane" Pedal

Danish Pete has been graced with a signature version of Victory's best-selling V40 'The Duchess' amp head - the DP40! Pete demos plenty of products on the Andertons TV channel, but more often than not - he's plugged into his trusty Victory V40. The DP40 therefore retains many of the V40's features and specs, but is emblazoned with Pete's signature purple colour scheme and features a tweaked reverb circuit that suits Pete's specific ambient tastes.

Pete almost exclusively used a Mesa/Boogie Lonestar 2×12″ combo in his touring days. With 100W of headroom, this powerful 2-channel amp projects heaps of volume for stage levels, with radiant mid-scooped cleans and warm overdrive tones aplenty. Having sold his Lonestar, Pete’s custom Rift Amps PR35 is a close alternative and his old no. 1 combo.
