    My board is now full. I was thinking about swapping the warthog or gunshot for a second peacekeeper, but it's not really feasible as then I wouldn't have the Gunshot or warthog...

    I do like the idea of using one as a clean boost type thing and then the other as a low gain though.
    I had to bend down and change the settings inbetween songs at my last gig, and who wants to do that when you could just spend £195 on a second one and stay vertical?

    How do you guys set your gunshot with a strat? Sounding great with humbuckers struggling with single coils (but I do tend to find a tone I like with a strat)
    How do you set yours?
    The gunshot definitely prefers hum buckers and P90's, however if you roll the gain right off and roll the Calibre in to taste (and smooth out the tone) i think you'll find a really nice fat drive that compliments the strat.

     
    YES! thank you thorpy not quite the marshall type tone you get with humbuckers but much better withe no gain using the calibre control

    @defaultM I think you should spend £290 on the gigrig autopot instead. That's what it was designed for!

    Haha reminds me of something I once saw which was an expression pedal with an antenna on it and the antenna fixed to a pot, then turned the pot when you moved the expression pedal.

    @ThorpyFX when is the Muffroom Cloud big rebrand announcement coming?
    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    this was done quite a while ago, The new name for the MUFFROOM CLOUD is the FALLOUT CLOUD. its now available to order and gives you the same massive tone, but with a less litigation invoking name.

    It will be very interesting to see where @ThorpyFX goes next, after the fine array of grumble and grunt on offer.

    I can attest to this feeling.... the only solution is to buy one. Chris at custom pedalboards has some in stock at the moment as do our other UK dealerships too.

    Nice little vid by Ariel Posen , awesome guitarist in the band the Bros Landreth. Here he is using his new Gunshot Overdrive. Stoked that Ariel has chosen ThorpyFX to bolster his pedalboard.

    @ThorpyFX I just managed to acquire a Muffroom Cloud. It's every bit as wonderful and as pleasing as I expected. What a great piece of tone kit. Many thanks!

    A very wicked video from the one and only Gearmanndude. 

    Love the the fact that the low end shakes the camera at 1:46

    So we’ve seemingly been a bit quiet over the summer, however perception is often different to reality….. So here’s the good news:

    Over the summer ThorpyFx teamed up with a bonafide legend of the Guitar Effects industry, the effects genius that is Dan Coggins. Dan has had an illustrious career as the original designer behind Lovetone Pedals and Dinosaural effects. All of his creations have been found on the boards of professional musicians the world over. As these effects have long since become collector’s items, we decided to team up and start afresh.

    The effects that we have collaborated on are supremely powerful versions of modulation, wacky octave based fuzz, ring modulation and much more besides…. The aim of these designs is to provide the ultimate analog experience that will allow musicians to tune the effect to their varied tastes. This will slowly be released over the coming years as we seek to stamp our collective sonic footprint on the guitar market...

    And more good news:

    The Chain Home is available for Preorder!!!

    And one more thing…….

    So is the Veteran!!!!

    Head to the website to find out about these effects.
