Description

Founded in 2014, ThorpyFX has always had a clear goal: to make the best sounding & most rugged pedals available on the market. The Field Marshal is no exception – a gloriously decadent fuzz pedal that goes from rich mid-boost to molten carnage, with plenty of dynamics in between.

Inspired by Lovetone

As with the Bunker, the Field Marshal is inspired by a Lovetone classic: the Big Cheese fuzz. Offering a more compact and flexible experience, the Field Marshal offers the same tone stack bypass option as the Bunker – but the amount of fuzz on tap is not to be sniffed at.

The three knobs labelled Volume, Fuzz and Tone do exactly what you’d expect, with a three-way toggle switch to choose between three modes: gated, mid-push and big mid-push. A highly sought-after fuzz tone that’ll put a smile on your face in no time.

Key features

  • Four knobs to control Volume, Fuzz, Tone, Balance.
  • Two footswitches, one for on/off and the other for tone stack bypass.
  • A three way toggle switch to change modes from gated fuzz, flat mids to enhanced mids.
  • A beautiful laser cut black anodised aluminium enclosure wrapped in a metallic orange base.
  • Engineered to be robust but functional with recessed knobs, sloped front and top mounted jacks.
  • 9-volt operation and standard DC input

Fuzz

A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players.

Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.
