Description
The ThorpyFX Warthog Distortion Mini Pedal is currently retailing at £199.99 and it is preorder. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply). The top pedal chef at Just Pedals thinks that ThorpyFX nailed it here.
If you're a fan of high gain crushing American style distortion but also want a pedal that can be easily tamed, you need the Thorpy FX Warthog. Named after certain pieces of American military hardware, this pedal is strong, aggressive and built like an absolute tank.
ThorpyFX went back to the drawing board and redesigned the pedal to have a smaller footprint so it fits neatly on a Pedaltrain board.
Sound
You can get a smooth clean boost or light crunch at lower EQ settings, but this pedal is at its best when cranked. The Warthog produces a lovely American warm midrange and low end that fill up the mix of any band even when maxing out the gain. At these high gain points you get crushing distortion mixed in with fuzz like overtones.
Premium components
ThorpyFX pedals are built to last. The unique recessed look protects the dials from breakage and the dangers of touring. Its metal casing ensures the delicate circuit is well housed.
Only the very best electronics have gone into building ThorpyFX pedals. 1% metalfilm resistors, Wima and Panasonic capacitors, Neutrik jacks and a Burr-Brown Opamp deliver a crisp effect.

Distortion is a type of guitar effect that alters the sound by adding sustain, harmonic richness, and a gritty or aggressive character. It clips the audio signal, creating a more saturated and powerful tone. Distortion is commonly used in rock, metal, and punk music, offering everything from warm, crunchy overdrive to heavily saturated, high-gain chaos. Unlike overdrive, which mimics the natural breakup of a tube amp, distortion produces a more intense, compressed, and processed sound. Popular distortion pedals include the Boss DS-1, ProCo Rat, and MXR Distortion+.

A mini pedal is a compact version of a standard guitar effect pedal, designed to save space on a pedalboard without sacrificing tone. Mini pedals are ideal for guitarists who need a portable setup or want to fit more effects into a limited space. Despite their small size, many mini pedals offer the same high-quality sound as their full-sized counterparts, though they may have fewer controls or lack battery power options. Popular mini pedals include the TC Electronic Hall of Fame Mini (Reverb), Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini (Overdrive), and Xotic EP Booster (Boost), making them a great choice for efficient pedalboard setups.
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can't stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
