Description

Spread the love

Founded in 2014, ThorpyFX has always had a clear goal: to make the best sounding & most rugged pedals available on the market. The Bunker is no exception – a pedal that boasts a harmonic-rich, articulate tone complete with ‘inter-modulation’ distortion for classic mid-gain sizzle.

Inspired by Lovetone

The Bunker takes direct inspiration from the Lovetone Brown Source, a classic in the stompbox world. Famed for the aforementioned ‘inter-modulation distortion’, the aim of the game is to be able to go from complex harmonics to a shimmering distorted feedback in no time. Think classic AC/DC Marshall-type tones but with an extra layer of complexity.

The Bunker has four knobs that control Volume, Gain, Tone and Texture, and a two-position Mode toggle switch. The second footswitch lets you bypass the tone stack, letting you feed in that extra gain for a blistering dirt tone.

Key features

Four knobs to control Volume, Drive, Tone, Texture.
Two footswitches, one for on/off and the other for tone stack bypass.
A three way toggle switch to change tonal character when the texture control is set low.
A beautiful laser cut black anodised aluminium enclosure wrapped in a metallic brown base.
Engineered to be robust but functional with recessed knobs, sloped front and top mounted jacks.
9-volt operation and standard DC input

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
