New ThorpyFX pedal, "The Dane" Danish Pete's Signature pedal

What's Hot
ThorpyFXThorpyFX Frets: 6118
in Made in the UK tFB Trader
So we've been sitting on this for a very long time... I've bene desperate to tell people about it but... it had to remain on the down low.

This is the first pedal I've made that wasn't designed to suit me, I've never done a signature pedal before and it was both a privilege and a tough thing to do... basically designing something to meet such an amazing players needs is a professional challenge.

However I'm so glad I took up the challenge, its proven to be so rewarding and the end product is a truly new, individual and astonishingly capable pedal despite such a clean and simple look.

Pete Honore was an absolute pleasure to work with, his work ethic is just astonishing. We had some very log days during the development of this pedal and none of them were anything other than a pleasure.


As for the pedal:

It is a super high headroom boost with loads of output and control over the low end, this really fattens up a telecaster or stratocaster. The drive was designed to be the most dynamic and pick repose drive available, again the tone control has such breadth that it can work so well to thicken or thin out your guitar, no matter if you use humbuckers or singlecoils

    Love the colour. 
    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.

    @ThorpyFX does it have much gain on tap?

    plenty for bluesy rock styles. actually with both sides on, it gets plenty saturated. its designed to really respond to your playing and volume control. it had to be that way to meet petes needs

    have a look at this video, it explains his musical past- all his touring history with tom jones, west life, the factor etc etc....

    that and he is the driving force behind all of Andertons video output...

    I have been extremely lucky to have played through both the yellow prototype and the final version of The Dane. It’s an exceptional pedal and is one of those rare pieces of gear that just makes you want to play guitar more and more. It’s an addictive bugger for sure!

    Congrats Adrian, it’s a winner.
