This is a solution to a problem of my own making.... Loose lips sink ships, I let the cat out of the bag too early. Ge Veteran is making a comeback in a small batch way. I have secured the transistors needed, im excited to bring it back into the fold. This will be a MKII version, and will have a different (REDACTED) Name.

These will be made to order so please allow up to 4 WEEKS from purchase to shipping.

Details: This is a very limited pre-order. But be assured Project 5 is finalised electronically.

Secret Project 5 will be a dual pedal

You'll be able to select each side independently if you switch it into TRS mode (for the looper enthusiasts)

So where do you come in…. if you’d like to be part of this and help push it forward then we are selling pre-orders on our website.

Introducing the ThorpyFX Have Blue, a powerful germanium boost pedal featuring a highly modified Rangemaster boost circuit. Designed to integrate seamlessly with any pedalboard, this pedal is great for guitarists looking to supercharge their signal with a versatile vintage-style boost. Whether you want an always-on pedal to enhance your tone or a thick, massive boost to ignite solos and lead lines, the Have Blue has you covered.

The Have Blue is designed to work seamlessly with any rig, courtesy of its internal transformer that replicates the "ideal pickup" at the front of the circuit. What does that mean? It grants musicians tons of flexibility - you can place the Have Blue anywhere in your signal chain, and it'll sound phenomenal.

Control Layout: -Boost: Use to balance the output - crank it, and it'll dish out enough juice to push the front end of any amplifier. -Range: Sweeps between a bass-heavy signal (full counterclockwise) and a treble-heavy signal (full clockwise). The sweet spot typically falls between 11 and 2 o'clock, tightening and boosting the mids.

Beyond the standard controls, the Have Blue features an internal trimpot that allows for asymmetric settings, adding distinct character and intrigue to your boost. While the Have Blue delivers fantastic sound right out of the box, this feature provides room for experimentation, allowing users to craft a one-of-a-kind sound.

To ensure consistency, reliability, low noise, and an exceptional tone, the Have Blue boasts top-tier components, including 1% metal film resistors, WIMA and Panasonic capacitors, and NOS Germanium Transistors.

Step up your pedalboard game today with the ThorpyFX Have Blue boost pedal, a vintage-inspired powerhouse that offers incredible tonal versatility.

The new Fulltone Ultimate Octave is exactly what you want it to be: a smooth BC108 transistor fuzz with an active tone circuit, plus a second footswitch to kick in a searing Octave Up on command. The Fat/Bright switch changes the entire contour, affecting both the fuzz and the octave, so you can choose either the thicker, mid forward Fat setting or the more open Bright setting with defined highs and a slightly scooped mid-range. It isn’t fussy about guitar choice either—tracking is solid on any pickup most anywhere on the neck, though the neck pickup will give you the most pronounced octave clarity. If you need more octave, turn Tone up, back Distortion down a touch, and raise Volume. Simple.

This is the original circuit stays untouched with no re-voicing and no updates to the sound. It delivers the original tone in a chassis that is now less than half the width of its predecessor. The two footswitch layout stays, the Fat/Bright switch still does the heavy lifting, and the feel and cleanup are exactly what made the Ultimate Octave a favorite.

The FAT GENERAL MKII is an evolution of the critically acclaimed OTC-201 compressor. ThorpyFx and the original designer (Dan Coggins) have collaborated to deliver the next level of compression for guitarists. Unlike many other compressors, the FAT GENERAL MKII adds sustain and balance to your signal without unnecessary noise or signal “pumping”. You'll also notice that the FAT GENERAL MKII can be particularly transparent but with a sparkle and clarity that you were missing before. For me it has become an always on pedal, I cant play without it!

Aside from achieving fantastic sonic credentials the FAT GENERAL MKII is built like a tank with physical features such as recessed knobs and top mounted jacks. Robust build does not have to come at the sacrifice of looks, the FAT GENERAL MKII uses a combination of a beautiful stainless steel laser etched centre console wrapped in a tough baseplate.

Internally the premium sound is enhanced through the use of premium components all wrapped in a beautiful custom engineered enclosure.

This is sonically identical to the V1 version the V2 version has an anodized aluminium Black enclosure

Tremolo. Amplitude Modulation.

Some call it vintage, some call it classic, some even call it the original guitar effect, but one thing is certain: tremolo has established itself as an iconic sound for decades because for the simple fact that it sounds lovely.

When we set out to design the Analog Tremolo, we had a very simple goal: create an exceptional tremolo with a small footprint. This goal seems easy enough, and on the surface it is, but as many of us know, the simplest solutions are often the most difficult to achieve...

As its core amplitude engine, the Analog Tremolo employs a high-performance VCA (voltage-controlled amplifier) ensuring smooth and pure 100%-analog modulation. The VCA engine is driven by a precision multi-waveform LFO with a staggering range of speeds, and it is because of this combination that the Analog Tremolo’s intensity can range from 0% (you can use the Analog Tremolo as a powerful clean boost with the Intense control set full CCW) all the way up to a full -100dB chop.

Three classic waveforms allow you to choose just the right pulse and throb for your song (selected by pressing the little black button and displayed in real-time on the indicator LED), and we couldn't resist adding a special “just because it sounds really cool” bonus, we affectionately call: Robot Mode.

Robot Mode disables the Rate control, and dials the LFO up to its physical maximum potential. Robot Mode can be tamed to barely audible, or cranked up to full power quickly and easily by turning the Intense control.

The final piece of the puzzle was the addition of an active master volume output control, ensuring very low output impedance which can easily drive long cable runs, complex pedalboards and also ensures seamless integration into whatever effects chain the Analog Tremolo slides into.

Rounded out by mechanical true-bypass and drawing only 17mA via “industry-standard” 9V pedal power (or an internal 9V battery), the Analog Tremolo makes a classic effect timelessly shine.

Our enhanced re-creation of a certain 424 MkII Input Channel

The 424 MKII Preamp takes it’s inspiration from the raw and grimy distortion texture and broad EQ control from a classic cassette 4-track recorder preamp.

We’ve expanded the versatility of this circuit by adding a bypassable buffer that drastically changes the gain and character of the pedal. This helps the pedal play well with high-impedance guitar signal, making it capable of all kinds of sounds…clean boosting with subtle EQ, a treble boost, warm and dark textures, and all-out chaotic grind. Bypass the buffer hear the faithful recreation of the sound of plugging an electric guitar directly into the original.

The Marksman - British Bender: The Sound of a Revolution

The Marksman is a tribute to the legendary and rare MK1.5 Tone Bender, a cornerstone of the 60s British Invasion sound. Tuned more true-to-vintage than the Faceless Fuzz, this pedal captures that classic squishy, mid-focused, ripping fuzz tone that sounds like your amp is about to explode.

Key Features:

• Vintage-Inspired Circuitry: Meticulously crafted to replicate this iconic circuit and it's authentic 60s tone.
• Selected NOS Germanium Transistors: Hand selected vintage transistors deliver the unique character and harmonic complexity that made the original so revered.
• Internal Dip Switch: Toggle between "Fat" and "Tight" modes to fine-tune your sound. Fat mode delivers a thick, saturated fuzz, while Tight mode offers a more focused, cutting tone.
• Responsive Clean-Up: The Marksman responds beautifully to your guitar's volume knob, allowing you to dial in a wide range of tones, from sparkling cleans to overdrive and full-on fuzz. An internal "Clean" trim pot allows you to pre-set some amount of this and can help with noise and when placing a wah wah before the pedal.

The Knoz Machine: "Hands-Up" if you love Zonks!

The Knoz Machine is a meticulously crafted tribute to the legendary Zonk Machine, the pedal that is now synonymous with Doyle Bramhall II's iconic Rich Man era.

I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with the original unit from Electro-Vox Studios that was used on the Rich Man album and dissect every aspect of it and as a result, I am pleased to be able to offer my own sonic interpretation of that exact unit. Tuned to capture all the sonics of the original, the Knoz Machine delivers a raw, aggressive tone that demands to be heard.

Note: Each individual Knoz Machine takes significant effort to sort through transistors and tune to spec. As such, it cannot be offered in typical batch format. These will be made one-at-a-time and offered to the next person on the waitlist when built and ready to ship.

Each pedal, while tuned sonically to the original, may sport a variety of different transistor combinations inside. Each unit's specific transistor set will be detailed. (Example 2G309/OC75/OC44).

Individuals on the waitlist that choose to differ at the time of offering will be removed and are welcome to re-join at the bottom of the list.

Key Features:

• Authentic Zonk Tone: Meticulously tuned to capture the unique character of the original, quirks and all.
• Raw and Unpredictable: A pedal that is an instrument unto itself. It requires player interaction for maximum tonal expression.

The Electronic Audio Experiments Glaive is the most dangerous gain device in our lineup. This discordant yet deceptively versatile op amp fuzz is capable of over +80dB of gain. The Weight knob adjusts a lightly resonant high pass filter at the input, for tones ranging from tight, ripped-speaker grind to bass-rich sludge. On its own, the raw distortion character is dynamic and articulate, with a metallic edge. Texture blends in a full-wave rectified analog signal, producing an octave up that gets fed into the fuzz input. Use it for subtle scrambling, or to generate piercing intermodulation products and sub-bass artifacts with a synthesizer-like attack. The LPF toggle can focus harsh overtones or unleash a full-spectrum cut through any mix. Finally, the new Squelch toggle enables a brute-force, highly effective bias gate that can temper even the most fanatical gain levels and impart a crumbly, ripping quality to the note decay.

The whole package is rounded out with a robust, high-headroom 24V internal power supply and quiet buffered bypass with intelligent momentary/latching functionality. Indeed, despite its belligerent nature, the Glaive possesses a deadly finesse.

Controls:

• Level: Output volume level.
• Fuzz: Controls the signal flow into the primary gain stage. Increase to add gain, up to an irresponsible +80dB.
• Weight: Changes the cutoff of a high pass filter at the input to alter the attack and thickness of the fuzz. Decrease for a tight attack, increase for crushing bass frequencies.
• Texture: Turn clockwise to blend in an analog octave up at the input of the fuzz circuit. Low settings add subtly broken harmonics, high settings add a strong 2nd harmonic with extended overtones and sub-bass artifacts.
• LPF (left toggle): 3-position tone switch. Center = no high cut, down = moderate high cut, up = strong high cut.
• Squelch (right toggle): 3 position controlling bias/gate behavior. Center = off, down = mild gating, up = strong gating.
• Footswitch: Activates the effect with intelligent momentary/latching behavior.

Our recreation of the vintage EHX Small Stone V2 loaded with extra features to expand its palette while retaining the legendary sounds of the original.

Features of Gallstone:

• True Bypass Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTA) phaser
• 9v DC operation 2.1mm Boss style negative tip jack.
• 2/4 stage phase pushbutton switch pressing in button (red led) indicates 4 stage mode which is the stock original.(2 stage phasing indicated by blue led)
• Mix, feedback, rate controls
• Level control corrects the volume drop of the original.
• Incorporating new Expand control which switches in an extra secret bit of additional circuitry into the mix. Designed to make things sound a little trippier, much like its designer. (Tuned 2 stage high "Q" all pass filter for those keeping up with all the technical details)
• LED LFO indicator
• Voice pushbutton allows to switch between two different feedback network versions of the variants.
• Width control (8 way rotary switch) - the original circuit had a 2 way switch called Color. This switch had 2 width position settings. Color "On" position equates to position 8 and the feedback control at maximum. Color "Off" position of the original is the same as the width control being in position 5 and feedback turned fully off. Seperating the functions of the color switch into seperate controls allows the original settings to be selected easily, however now many more possibilities are available. As the width control is turned down the frequncy of the waveform increases, while the amplitude decreases.
• Range switch - up position is standard, down allows super slow LFO sweeps.

Please note: When first powering up the pedal, especially in "slow" range mode, the ciruit may take a few seconds to charge up before it functions. This is expected behaviour. 1590B enclosure size Current draw 80mA.

Is there any effect as regularly misunderstood as the humble Flanger? Some shy away, seeing it as overcomplicated. Others dismiss it as a one-trick pony (whale noises, anyone?) - maybe two note (Jet sounds, after all). Few realize that countless classics are Flanger-soaked: from The Police to The Cure (not to mention Prince) many a legendary artist knew how useful a splash of flange could be.

Alone is the first in its class: The hardest thing, made simple, and done right. Don't worry about interactive knobs, we have you covered - just set it and go. While we've kept the analog feel, we've added intelligent digital control to tame those interactions and make those classic sounds easier than ever to dial in. "Mode" takes you from Jet Liner in the sky to liquid flange, sunk deep in the deepest parts of the Atlantic. Maybe you'll even stumble upon a hidden mode if you're a fan of tape degradation & wear. Special thanks to Eric at Heuristic Industries for being the code wizard for this project

Controls:

Speed - How fast the modulation is, ranges from 0.1 to 7 HZ

Depth - How wide the modulation sweeps

Mode - This is the Crux of the whole pedal. With the switch in the up position you are in traditional flange mode, short delay time with feedback. With the switch in the down position you are in chorus flange mode, longer delay time with no feedback. The middle we are calling wow and flutter, it is similar to the chorus mode but with a wider degree of depth and an LFO that is randomized.

Footswitch - If you hold down the footswitch while the pedal is engaged the pedal will dynamically change the speed control. If your speed is under halfway up, the speed will be maxed out. If the speed is over halfway then the speed will be set to minimum. It will return when you let go of the footswitch

Alone is powered by industry standard +9V center negative power. DO NOT USE MORE THEN 9V
