Thorpy Fx The Warthog.
The last layout of 2022! Thorpy Fx take on a Rat. An input MOSFET gain stage with a bias control, a fancy high end single op amp and LED hard clippers. Looks fun! Schematic is avaiable HERE.

THORPY FX: Heavy Water
A nice booster from Thorpy, most likely Dan Coggins design. The build notes from PedalPCB suggest germanium diodes across the opamp for a dirty boost. Schematic can be found here THORPY HEAVY WATER BOOSTER – VERO LAYOUT This puts out a lot of level, and the low cut can put it in treble boost territory on … Read more
THORPY FX: Fat General Optical Compressor
While on a run of compressors, I thought this one looked interesting. ThorpyFX Fat General is an optical compressor with a treble control and a blend function. Schematic can be found on PedalPcb here. It’s said to be a progression of the Dan Coggins designed Lovetone OCT-201 – based on the trace at Aion FX, … Read more
Thorpy Fx Gunshot Overdrive
A slightly modified Tubescreamer with the input buffer replaced by a SHO MOSFET booster. The Calibre control can be noisy but I guess “Crackle is OK”…. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
THORPY FX: Fallout Cloud (Muffroom Cloud)
The Thorpy FX Fallout Cloud AKA the Muffroom Cloud, is a Big Muff with a Baxandall tone stack. Here’s the thread on Freestompboxes. It’s a lower gain muff, probably more like a BMP from the former Soviet Union, as they also tend to have 47n caps on the diodes and large emitter resistors. THORPY FX FALLOUT … Read more
Thorpy Fx Fallout Cloud
One of the more interesting Big Muff derivates out there. The first three stages is a basically a Dice Works Muff Diver which itself is based on a 1972 era Triangle Big Muff. The tonestack is whats make it standout from the crowd; an active transistor based two band eq. And demo of MTK’s build
