The ThorpyFX Six Zero is an all-analogue Fuzz & tremolo pedal, designed and hand-built to look back to the 1960s and imagine what a new pedal could look and sound like now whilst operating with a fundamentally vintage sound at its core.
This unique piece of stompbox history started off as a simple question: how could you reimagine a guitar effect from six decades ago to suit the players & tone tinkerers of today? The resulting sounds range from white-hot sustain to shuddering psychedelic soundscapes, with a near-infinite number of sweet spots in between, recreating the sound of the venerable MKI TB.
Key Features
- Vintage Fuzz Meets Pure Analogue Tremolo – a silicon take on the MKI ‘Bender’ fuzz sound collides with a Pink Floyd-inspired trem with spectacular results.
- Unique & Rugged Design – Just like the rest of the ThorpyFX line-up, the Six Zero’s all-metal enclosure is built like a tank.
Silicon Fuzz For Days
Sometimes, less is more. In the case of the Six Zero’s fuzz circuit, it’s WAY more. ThorpyFX set out to bring the idea of a silicon version of the MKI ‘Bender’ fuzz circuit to life with the simplest possible controls. They settled on the simple combination of ‘Level’ and ‘Attack’, letting you seamlessly move between the choppy, crushed sound of gated fuzz to the intense saturation and sustain that’s turned heads for 60 years and counting.
Controls
- Depth – How much tremolo would you like with the dry signal?
- Rate – Dial in anything from a gentle slow wave to faster psychedelic waveforms of shimmery tremolo.
- Attack – Find your sweet spot with just the right amount of sustain, clarity, and harmonic content.
- Level – How loud do you want it?
- Left Footswitch – Turns the tremolo on or off.
- Right Footswitch – Turns the fuzz on or off.
