Designed in Wiltshire, England, the ThorpyFX Gunshot Overdrive Mini is a redesign of the awesome original now with a smaller footprint suited to Pedaltrain boards. 

Low Gain Crunch to Rocking Leads

Normally with an overdrive pedal you would expect just a simple volume, tone, gain control setup. While this pedal houses all the basics, its secret weapon is the expressive calibre control. This works in tandem with the gain control as a completely separate gain stage. So you can use can mix and match these different stages to really get the exact tone you have in your head.

Two Kinds Of Drive

A great way to think about the two drive controls is by using the gain as a mid boost. While the Calibre control is a mid-scooped amp style overdrive that has a lot of treble and high end to fill out your sound. By separating the gain stages like this instead of adding more EQ you get a much richer and fuller sound than you would normally find on an overdrive.

Volume Responsive

If you are the kind of player who uses the volume and tone knobs on your guitar for dynamics, you will love the Thorpy FX Gunshot. By using the two separate gain stages this pedal is able to adjust well to your guitar's output, letting you range from soft cleans to a rocking British style overdrive without changing the settings on the pedal.

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.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Guitar Pedal related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
