Here’s what Thorpy FX say about the ThorpyFX WOPR Fuzz Pedal:

The WOPR is one of those pedals that started with an artist/friend wanting something to sound a bit different and elevate their sound beyond what we normally offer. Oli Brown (Oli Brown and the Dead Collective, formerly of Raveneye) has been a friend for a while so I thought I could help him out. He initially wanted a Fallout cloud coupled with the silicon Rangemaster-inspired circuit from the Veteran. This combo was absolutely massive sounding and Oli loved it and has used it for years now.

Something made me come back to this circuit, but I wanted to take it even further, and here was born the WOPR. The Fallout Cloud was removed and replaced with a new circuit based upon the FC concept but with more aggression, more sizzle, more everything. This with the Rangemaster leaves a trail of sonic devastation in its wake. The name WOPR is a nod to the AI supercomputer in the film Wargames. And like the movie you can choose between playing Noughts and Crosses/Tic/Tac/Toe or Global thermonuclear war.

We haven’t done any demos of this pedal, its just to risky to the YouTube servers to unleash this pedal on that platform. If you think you can handle it, give it a go. If you cant handle it….. We understand, it’s vicious.

Internally the pedal is immaculately built using premium 1% metalfilm resistors, Wima and Panasonic capacitors, and Neutrik jacks. These are the crème de la crème of the electronics world and when coupled with a robust gold plated PCB and dust sealed potentiometers the recipe is as good as it can possibly be.

Fuzz Pedals

Fuzz pedals produce a thick, saturated and often unruly form of distortion with a character all of its own. From smooth vintage sustain to gated, spluttering and synth-like textures, fuzz is one of the most expressive and distinctive effects in guitar history.

Players use fuzz for psychedelic rock, garage, stoner rock, doom, indie, shoegaze and experimental sounds. It can feel more like an instrument than a normal drive pedal, responding strongly to guitar volume, pickup choice and playing dynamics.

Fuzz

Fuzz pedals create thick saturated distortion with a raw and highly expressive character that differs significantly from standard overdrive or distortion pedals. Vintage-inspired fuzz circuits remain hugely influential in psychedelic rock, doom, garage, shoegaze and experimental music.

Different fuzz designs respond very differently to pickups, guitar volume and playing dynamics, allowing players to move between smooth sustain, gated textures and aggressive spluttering tones.
