    Finally managed to get a copy of the latest guitarist magazine, I'm really happy with this interview/rundown of the gunshot. http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m447/thorpy6/image.jpg1_1.jpg

    @thorpy6 Does it really "crackle" when you turn the Calibre control?

    @thorpy6 Does it really "crackle" when you turn the Calibre control?
    Yes it does, .... however it doesn't crackle when playing through it. calibre is like a bias control.

    Nice article - just read it :)

    Like the technique of the intro interview a month (or two?) before the review too ... build some awareness & profile, and then hit them with the product! 

    Wonder if we could get them to carry a little feature on the forum
    ;)

    I have to agree- everytime I open a missile I'm amazed at the soldering.

    yeah the full review is coming up soon...... Surely there must be enough water under the bridge for them to do a piece? I'd contact them.

    Heres a clip a friend of mine has recorded using the MUFFROOM Cloud, all tracks of guitar and bass have used the Muffroom Cloud, hopefully it'll demonstrate the pedals versatility for the downtuners and Bass aficionados amongst you.

    Really over the moon with this review, I think it captures everything we are trying to achieve with ThorpyFx and the muffroom cloud particularly! Cheers @ChrisV http://www.guitar-bass.net/gear/thorpyfx-muffroom-cloud-review/

    Too right you should be chuffed ... so glad to see your products getting the recognition they deserve ... and flying the flag to boot. 
    As soon as funds allow I will be picking up a Gunshot for demoing pickups through. Well done sir!

    That is a glowing review, well done! Seems to like Carr amps judging by some of the users on here and that review, looking forward to trying it with mine when my turn on the tour comes up.

    Sorry to disappoint you but Chappers was really cool to chat with, as was Lee and Rabea. The thing is this.... he has 300,000 subscribers on youtube. Thats more than proguitarshop and most of the other big you tubers. He must be doing something right.......

    It's not just about raw numbers though, it's about how many of those people are potential buyers of your stuff.

    I'd hazard a guess that this is more likely to be the mature audience of Pro Guitar Shop than the kids that watch Chappers?

    That demo above sounds fantastic by the way!

    Fair enough but Andertons have been really good to my company, they took a punt at a time when others wouldn't and they've given me exposure that otherwise may have taken years to generate. BTW proguitarshop are about to start stocking our products! very stoked
