Finally joined the Thorpyfx gang....

After considering it for some time, I've finally taken the plunge on a Veteran (si) and Fallout Cloud.

I absolutely love fuzz and cannot wait to get them!

I have the germanium version. You're gonna love it

I have only ever liked three Fuzz Pedals....the Muffroom/Fallout Cloud and Veteran are two of those three!

I've only had a little time to try the Fallout Cloud, and it's only into my home amp, which is a Boss Katana 100 1x12 (really good for having extremely low volume playing).

Obviously it's a solid state amp, and I'm not playing loudly at all, but I can see EXACTLY why people say it's like a much more clear muff pedal. I can hear the notes a lot better, it isn't as noisy, and you can EQ out the huge bass that muffs can create (or add it in when it's a Tele bridge pickup).

If I could describe it, I'd say it's like a high end Big Muff, with a hell of a lot of clarity and a lot less noise, with a better control of EQ.

I really want to crank it LOUD into my Fender or Orange amps....but I'm sat at work, again!

Nice work @thorpyfx

When you join the Thorpyfx gang, do you get a furry badge with googly eyes and instructions on how to do the secret handshake?

glad to have delivered for you. when you run it through the orange.....s and back it genuinely will move some serious air. such again inducing experience.

shhhhh..... you aren't supposed to discuss the handshake.

I'm not in the club yet, but I always assumed it would be some special salute.

Guess who's a bit bored...

The Warthog will basically be the last drive pedal you’ll ever buy (yeah right)

But it is REALLY good. I was sceptical at the price but after spending just 5mins with it I am convicted it is worth every penny

My wife is a smart woman, so this evening when I walked in the door I was greeted with a raised eyebrow and the question:

"Who or what is ThorpyFX and why are they sending you parcels?"

Rumbled! 

Picked up a Chain Home tremolo straight from @ThorpyFX himself and I'm glad to say it sounds glorious. I think the Chain Home gets a bit overlooked (I know I did, at least until recently) but its a very nice trem comibined with a very nice boost. Big fan already. 

These two demos are the ones that sold it to me:

God damn it that sounds like my perfect fuzz. Love a big muff but the lack of clarity does my head in some times as I like a good palm muted chug. Then again the Warthog sounds great as well, seem to remember someone saying it's like a better Rat?

The Warthog is about as good as it gets, dirt wise. So versatile and the Calibre knob is pretty unique. Cant recommend enough, even though the price may initially seem a little off putting

I've had a Fallout Cloud since the Bham show but only found time to really work it into my live sound this week (I've played with it in a "messing about with how crazy it will go" way up until now). I'm using it as a lead sound on our louder stuff. It's properly brilliant, incredibly controllable and I can eq it to cut through without ruining the fuzz.Top stuff Thorpy.
