In line with the other UK builders I thought I'd start one thread to put all my updates/ information in. So The GUNSHOT Overdrive is now live along with the website. The WARTHOG is having its aesthetic design finalised and I'm working on several interesting/promising circuits to fill what I perceive to be gaps in the market......

Anyway heres the first video from ThorpyFX, it went live today and hopefully it does what you need it to.... lets you hear the damn pedal....

Just had a listen via Facebook, sounds bloody lovely! Really liking that caliber knob, brings a certain je ne sais quoi to the whole thing. Nice one sir!

really nice vid... i don't know how anyone can not want one after that

i really like how the vid is just about the pedal, no other distractions

IvisonGuitars · May 2015

Sounds great!

OilCityPickups · May 2015

That sounds really excellent ... brilliant concept and execution sir!

I'd buy one but I'm concerned it's so gorgeously complex it could be a clanestine MI6 Surveillance device and Thorpy is a sleeper for one the security forces.

You have a phone, there would be no need to use a guitar pedal for surveillance

^ the plot thickens

Can't your bug J-Con?

Gassage · May 2015

Besides, I could just see it now....GCHQ and my rig bugged and the listeners chatting....

"Jesus Christ, this Gassage fella, all this gear and he's bending every note sharp. What a tool. It's bloody painful"

Too many firearm puns :P

When you bring in calibre control though... sounds fab.

TTony · May 2015

Nice.

Very nice.

Chalky · May 2015

Good job there @thorpy6 - well done.

FelineGuitars · May 2015

Well I put my money where my mouth is today and placed an order for one.
Looking forward to getting it and hoping it'll be as fun as it looks

I'll keep it at the workshop, so if any of you guys are passing by you can have a go

@Thorpy6, how about "The Disruptor" or "Felix" as a name for pedals?

hahaha your knowledge of that world is very strong! Maybe pigstick.

Handsome_Chris · May 2015

How about an 8b. Great for for slow heavy work, but no good in high gear. It'll go off in the wrong direction.

It's a great Pedal btw. I keep meaning to post some vids up

It occupies valuable real estate on my pedal board...

I'm really glad you like it, i know that pedalboard real estate is a precious commodity.

I was asked to create the MUFFROOM CLOUD by a number of vintage pedal enthusiasts I know. They were after a MUFF style pedal that would work with a variety of guitars (Humbucker and singlecoil's including P90's) and amps. It also had to be bombproof so it could be gigged. The brief was simple, make a Muff Style Fuzz that could beat their original 1971 Triangle Muff pedals when placed head to head.

The brief was simple, the task was not, however after many prototypes and a bit of lateral thinking the MUFFROOM CLOUD (designed in collaboration with Lovetone and Dinosaural pedals designer Dan Coggins) was born. This pedal has the ability to beat any Muff you have heard (including the best vintage units). By adjusting the perfectly voiced EQ you can achieve fuzz tones from silky smooth through to doom laden whilst maintain the ability to cut through.

This pedal is going to be limited in production so get your hands on one whilst they are available to preorder. They will be shipping around 15 August 2015.
