New ThorpyFX?

The Veteran is a Dual Pedal, Germanium transistors throughout, designed to work from a standard centre negative power supply or battery. A heavily modified and refined (to my tastes) Fuzz face on the right with a modded Rangemaster style circuit running after it. Both independently switchable and when both on together, it sounds incredible.

Sounds good.
Two of my favourites in one box.

I bought a veteran.

Febuary needs to hurry up.

Itll probably be sooner..... I hope

of course

I was a bit sad it was only a tremolo and another fuzz :-(

Lets see what the rest of the range brings

I apologise that we aren't able to release loads of pedals at once. However we don't have the resources of Strymon or MXR so releasing new pedals is a major undertaking for us, albeit a fun one.

We also schedule our releases based on customer demand, so whilst a Trem/Boost and a Fuzz/Treble Booster might not float your boat they have been in high demand. Seeing as we only had one fuzz in the line up, I thought a Ltd edition would scratch the itch nicely.

Anyway, on that note. What sort of things are you looking for pedal wise?

Sorry I should have put some context around that really shouldn't I?

No need to apologise, I fully appreciate you are pretty much a one man band and I wouldn't expect you to churn out pedals like the mass producers. Its a long old process to create, test, tweak etc

I totally get you are going for customer demand. My views are for my own selfish needs.
With the Dan Coggins tie in I was really hoping for some sort of envelope filter or phaser/vibrato or something more in the world of modulation. Basically some kind of small for lovetone pedals would be awesome. Dare I even say some sort of delay pedal? I know you are a big fan of the moogerfooger like myself, I'd like to see what you can do on that front. 

I will say this, You are definitely not going to be disappointed at all...... The Dan tie in has yielded some promising things already and as soon as they are ready to be released I will be screaming form the rafters. The Chain Home has Dan's fingerprints over it too, however the other modulation stuff coming down the line is all sorts of cool and predominantly focussed on powerful tweaking.

The veteran sounds awesome. 
Nice fuzz face tones that can sit nicely in a busy mix I'm thinking?

Any pics please?

I was going to say December 24th would be ideal but I didn't pay for Saturday deliver so 23rd would be the best

Not yet I'm afraid, I only have the pre production proto here which isn't ready for public consumption as I've changed a few bits. Anyway, it'll look very similar country pedals but the veteran will be wider to cope with the extra knobs and footswitch.

Ok cool, I'll look forward to seeing the pics when they're ready!

I was toying with getting an analogman sunlion so the veteran sounds very tempting.  Hopefully some pictures  (even if they are only approximations) arrive before they sell out.    Sounds like a great idea for a pedal - I can't see them last long.

Holy smokes. 

If there will be a Ring Mod at some point down the line I will shit myself with excitement.  The Thorpy tie in with Dan is amazing news.

Major, if you ever have the chance to speak to Dan in the future can you mention a guitarist by the name of Oren Ambarchi to him (if he doesn't know him).  He's one of my all time favourite guitarists, who's not very well known.  He uses a Lovetone Ring Stinger as the core effect for his playing.

You'll have to go some to beat the MF102 ring mod... if you can improve on that, colour me impressed!

The ring stinger from lovetone was pretty bat shit mental. Just a shame you need to remortgage to buy one

Wow, that was a new one to me... checked out ebay and yup available for your at Argos for £800 all in! For a ring Mod that is ouch

What a cool range of pedals though, been checking out videos. @ThorpyFX you just set the expectation level very high indeed.

well, that'll be a short way down the line but it'll be coming along anyway. As a limited edition pedal, the veteran is likely to be sold out before the clips are done.

Aww, limited edition? How come?

NOS chips are in limited supply.

Seeing that Sir Thorpy had almost sold out I've took the plunge and pre ordered a Veteran, anyone else?

I've been very close a few times but it's a hard to order it without pics or soundclips.   I suspect it will have gone before those though and is a safe buy due to Thorpy's reputation.

I can only apologise for the timing error, I wanted to open preorders as soon as I was fixed on the circuit. I have booked studio time to record the video of the veteran but..... it's not till mid Dec.

i can say I'm over the moon with the sound, the design is going to be old school army looking. And hopefully you will all love it as much as I do. It's my guilty pleasure pedal really.
