    That Muffroom cloud demo from PGS sounds incredible. I think I may end up like J Mascis and end up with a cupboard full of Muff variants...
    no bad thing! although you'll find that the EQ on the Muffroom cloud allows you to nail most of the variants (within a certain gain range) of the muff family. (what a weird family that would be.)

    Anyone know if the Muffroom Cloud can cover a decent Rams head tone and say Sorrow (including the ton of feedback!) or Comfortably Numb from PULSE?

    Gassing for one now, getting my Gunshot tomorrow and can't wait!

    The short answer is yes it can, it can cover a hell of a lot of ground for a muff- although i know that sounds trite, it was designed specifically to do more than most. watch this video:

  • Thanks @ThorpyFX, appreciate that...great video! Right up my street, you've tugged on the heartstrings with a Gilmour-centric demo! ;-) 

    I have to try one of these bad boys, maybe it'll budge my P-2!

    well, the best place to get one quickly in the UK is joes pedals, Andertons, or guitar village. Hope that helps

    Looks like ProGuitarShop is using the Gunshot as a default overdrive:

    I an gassing for the Muffroom Cloud so much!

    It's actually the only thing on my xmas wish list, and I'm dropping hints about the lead time every chance I get!

    I reckon it has a great chance of bumping the Darkglass Duality off my board.

    Running a competition of my Facebook page....... you can win a Prototype muffroom cloud!

    So- to celebrate being around for our first year we at ThorpyFx want to do something to celebrate: we will be giving away this Prototype no one Muffroom Cloud pedal. Sonically identical to the production item but...... It comes in a standard box. It's been gigged and used so bears a few scratches..... If you'd like a bit of ThorpyFx history here's what you need to do. Share this page amongst your guitar mates if you can get two or more likes added to this page then you are entered into the hat to win the pedal. The draw will take place on 24th Nov. Best of luck!

  • The Muffroom sounds great against all the others. I don't and never have used fuzz, but that to was the one I'd have if I could choose.

    Well done Mr. Thorpe another winner.

    When is your world beating Distortion coming out?

  • @ThorpyFX congratulations again man, great news for the demo and the article.

    So I dropped a ball and didn't pick up a Muffroom while I had a chance and now they are nowhere to be seen, do you have an ETA on your next batch to the major dealers or on your site?

    Many thanks and I'll never let this happen again, I've learned my lesson.

    thanks very much indeed. well, here's the score... I'm building like a madman and the orders are being satisfied in the order they are received..... The lead time is approximately four weeks from the point of ordering, it's going up every day and soon I'll be changing the website to reflect this. Demand is off the scale and the dealers have just been cleaned out. Please bare in mind I delivered a big order to Andertons last Saturday...... And now they have all gone too. I delivered to PGS in the states and within days they had to reorder. I don't declare when I deliver to dealers because that's between me and them. The two things I can suggest are these, check the websites of the dealers regularly or place a preorder with my website. Hope that helps?

    All this waiting list stuff is fantastic to see. Well deserved, and not just forum-hype if all the reviews are to be believed. 

    Sooooo..... when can I get a Mooer copy? ;)

    "Chuffroom Cloud" has a nice ring to it...

  • So Chappers is a Chinese sleeper agent who has been waiting for a way to cause chaos and paranoia in the UK since the Cold War and finally grabbed his chance via the medium of gear reviews on YouTube? He invited ThorpyFX into the studio ostensibly to review some pedals but really he was after British military secrets. Suddenly it all makes sense...
