Critic Reviews

ThorpyFX Muffroom Cloud fuzz pedal review

guitar.com

The ThorpyFX Muffroom Cloud Fuzz Pedal impresses with its vintage-voiced versatility and robust build. Its standout feature is the active EQ, providing a broader tonal palette compared to traditional single-tone Big Muffs. This pedal excels in clarity and definition, maintaining focus and dynamics even in complex settings, making it a reliable choice for both rhythm and lead parts. While it may be pricier than basic fuzz options, its quality and consistency justify the investment for serious fuzz enthusiasts. Though it lifts the noise floor slightly, the overall performance and adaptability make it a standout addition to any pedalboard.

All fuzz pedals beware

Thorpyfx said this was a triangle fuzz but slight differences but it’s more than just that. This is seriously an amazing fuzz and so full. I’m a fuzz lover and very picky about them and this is over the top. This is my main fuzz and I highly doubt I’ll find something better. This will be a classic in the years to come and will be worth $$$$. The Rolls Royce of fuzz pedals, sorry EHX but I’m sold but I still love your pedals. It’s got a hifi sound like I’ve never heard before from a fuzz/distortion - will out a smile on your face :)

Fantastic articulate fuzz!

I bought this pedal after I saw it on That Pedal Show. After I heard it I was sold! This baby can go really fuzzy but it's just not typically harsh and messy but instead it have some fat articulate sound and I like it. Also they renamed this pedal without changing anything. Now they call it Fallout Cloud. Maybe some legal stuff? Don't know. Only thing that matters is that it still kicks butt!

Everything you could have ever asked for

Classic big muff sound, made even more accessible with the addition of an active EQ to tweak it to any setup imaginable; best buy I've ever made!

jimmarchi1

this not a criticism, but you sprung for a thorpy pedal but use a super cheap, chinese delay?

jimmarchi1

and you play thru a frontman???? wtf

cammojodragon

I actually play usually through a Champion 110 usually, I just couldn't find that amp on here; I'm in the process of acquiring more upmarket gear, I bought some cheaper stuff just to get the ball rolling, although honestly that delay is pretty fantastic sounding, even if it lacks a lot of the control I'd like to have. But as I say, in the process of getting more upmarket gear, but when you're paying that amount of money it doesn't hurt to be a little patient! :) (P.S, a friend who was moving to England was selling the Frontman for about half the price I paid for the delay pedal, I figured it was worth at least that much!)
