Anybody else intrigued?
And has anybody pre-ordered any yet?

@thorpyfx are we getting any clues as to what they might be?

Flanging_Fred · July 2023

I bet one of them is a germanium Korg Miku clone. Just imagine the toanz!

I reckon it's going to be a Dan Coggins/Thorpy Miku. Not a clone, but an improvement.

Hmmmm using an opening line from an AC/DC track in your response - is that a clue ? (possibly a Schaffer Replica inspired Thorpy pedal ?)

'Loose lips sink ships' = noise suppressor = clone of the Boss NS-2.

This is the one we've been waiting for!

stickyfiddle · July 2023

Is "germanium multi delay with tap tempo and a UI I like using" a thing that's possible?

I'm guessing there is a clue in there, but it's well beyond my levels of comprehension!

How would you know if you were in the first 20 pre-orders for a pedal?

Oh that bits easy. I’ve only opened up 20 slots. The other slots won’t open until the pedal is launched. So the only ones available are the 20 slots

Winny_Pooh · July 2023

My personal wish would be a two knob Thorpy mini sized boost, like the rangemaster side of the Veteran.

tone1 · July 2023

I’m lost?? What’s occurring?

pedalo · July 2023

Very interested to see what the £750 one is. But went the #1.

Flanging_Fred · July 2023

There had better be a crystal lattice involved or I’m going to do a sulk.

Oh. That could sway my decision to order more than one...

MrSwanson · July 2023

Important question, do I need them all?

Is that even a question?

I think the more important question is, could you realistically and sensibly use them all at once?

just send me £20 and I'll tell you later

Sporky · July 2023

I'm not sure I get it.

I can pay £250, £300, or £750 for something, but I don't get to know what it is until it arrives?

sgosden · July 2023

Is mr.thorpy doing mystery box tiktoks?

Distance selling means you get to rerun if you can’t flip…I mean don’t like it

This can be boiled down to anything i guess, it's not supposed to annoy people though. purely a voluntary exercise.

When we have done limited runs in the past, they have been released into the market and we have received LOTS of emails from people that have missed out and then watched the pedals flipped online.

I cant control that, it's part of the way things are in all sales endeavours. I could have done A N Other run of boneyards... but i don't want to, that will evolve into something else down the line that is not limited.

All this is, is a small amount of pedals offered to the people that follow us, support us and tend to miss out. It's was only published on my facebook group with an explanation.

There are 20x SP1, 20x SP2, 10x SP3 no pressure to buy on anyone and im trying to make it as fun and rewarding process as possible.

Basically i have had an absolute mare of a year dealing with some horrendous family stuff. This has compressed my release schedule and would have punted these into 2025 if i had let it happen. This is my way of catching up and having fun with projects that i HOPE people will love as much as i do.

Kalimna · July 2023

I'll be disappointed if one of them isnt named 'Tube Alloys'

My quiver of Thorpy's (should the collective noun be a 'bomb rack', a 'detonation' or an 'armament'???) is sadly lacking a new purchase. Perhaps it is time to change that?

roberty · July 2023

Not having a dig @ThorpyFX, I think it's a good idea and you will fill those limited spaces easily. It is clear that people trust you to design great pedals

What are they expecting you to do, do another limited run just for them, or hope you've "kept a few back" just for those who miss out?

I missed the Fallout BC108, but that was my own fault. I did comment on a FB post about it, but I wouldn't ever consider emailing you.

Honestly I don’t know. Maybe it’s frustration. And I understand that.

Howdy, Stranger!
