    Okey doke, this pedal takes up the gain mantle where the gunshot left off.... however its differently voiced and has the ability to do a really nice clean to on the edge sound, if the gunshot gave you that nice plexi sound.... this does a fat fender sound into Mesa MK1 and beyond. I really like how this sounds, it cleans up well with the volume control and yet can really unleash sonic mayhem without getting fizzy.

    I'd definitely get it available so people can preorder while ignoring the family on boxing day... That said, from the looks of it you don't need to do anything specific to fill the order book, so may not be needed!

    Glad it's all going so well

    Preorders for the Warthog Distortion and the Peacekeeper Low Gain Overdrive have now opened. Delivery is scheduled for Feb 29 2016. Feel free to have a look at the website, first video of the Warthog is in the videos tab. The peacekeeper is still waiting for its final clothes.... however I know you'll all love this 5 knob beauty when its dressed.

    I am really excited by the Warthog and the Peacekeeper
    Whilst the new version of the peacekeeper is as yet unknown to me if it was in the ballpark of the early prototype I played it will be awesome and I will find the need to stack it with my Gunshot as well as use it on it's own.
    Stacking it with the Marshall-esque Gunshot results in a sound that is instant late 80s sunset strip tone that is like the hot rodded Marshalls that were all the rage.

    The Peacekeeper is the one I'm definitely after, will order in the new year. I'm jealous that @FelineGuitars has played one! A lot is mentioned about the EQ section of the Peacekeeper on the Thorpy site, and similarly the EQ on the Cornish CC-1 is raved about, so I'm really interested in comparisons between the two. Anyone who's played the prototype able to comment on how it matches up to a Klon?

    Also, been playing with the Gunshot a lot today and man it's an amazing pedal. It still sends me into tonal bliss every time I use it. For those who haven't yet given it a try but want to, do it! You won't regret it!

    And here we have it- The latest pedal show posted tells us that Dan has lent his muffroom cloud to Ed O Brian from radiohead.

    Spill the beans @thorpyfx - first celeb client?

    Seriously though, praise indeed

    Not the first celebrity client but we are over the moon that Ed loves the muffroom cloud as much as we do, it's this sort of thing that makes the pedal game so pleasing.

    For those on the anti- gas challenge...... Resistance is futile. Give up now. This is a belter of a pedal.
