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

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.
