    Just ordered a Team medic and a morningstar
    get soldering ! ;)
    Thanks very much! You’ll love them both!
    I pretty much love them all Adrian.
    would love a delay and a flanger with your trademark quality. I have everything you have done apart from the Veteran SI since I have the Ge and even though I use a Helix for live work. I can’t help sneak the odd drive pedal in the loop
    would love to gig my Thorpy only board though
    I really do owe you a proper demo recorded well of the pedals. I hate the sound of my own voice and editing is a pain but I will get round to it

    Well I've just had chance to really mess with the Veteran Si, and I absolutely love it...the boost side is so much fun when you combine it.

    Any news of a phase on the horizon Mr thorpy?
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Nice local industry we have now in my neck of the woods, with Thorpy, Rift Amps and Ryder guitars to name but a few :)

  • Is it true that all of the pedals may be getting a chassis makeover due to The Dane?

    All new pedals are being built in a smaller battery free enclosure, current pedals will remain as they are.

    Cool - thanks! Btw I don't mind the size of the pedals one bit.

    Hod do they compare with each other?? I bought one of the first batch of "The Dane" from Andertons, and find it excellent for the way I like to sound. As a former Medic, the "Team Medic" is tempting.

    They are very different pedals really. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

    Very different. The Dane is a drive and a boost. The team medic is primarily an EQ pedal, with added two stage boost and a class A buffer- it’s designed to both fix your pedalboards sonic woes and boost into the front end of your amp..... and it does this very very well

    So its happened, all the pedals have now lost some heft...... they sound just the same, however they take up less space on your pedalboard. hope you all like them.


    all the best, Adrian

    This is going to trigger my OCD!

    How am I meant to handle any future ThorpyFX purchases being a different size?

    Good move @ThorpyFX ;
    Agreed - pedalboard space is always at a premium! But not enough for finicky mini pedals, which I can't stand!

    Now, @ThorpyFX ... Any chance of making the knobs readable when you're standing up? My eyesight and memory aren't what they were! ;0)
