ThorpyFX The Dane Overdrive/Boost

Cercavo un OD come si suol dire plug and play ! Di qualità eccezzionale, uno dei migliori overdrive/boost moderni !
Se si parte da un buon clean, ( io utilizzo un Blues Junior) il drive è decisamente pastoso sotto le dita, cremoso. Super dinamico e sensibile ! Ottimo per il blues, sonorità alla Robben ford , Larry Carlton, John Scofield ( Attenzione non dumble-style )
Qualità in più sicuramente grazie alla possibilità di aggiungere le frequenze basse ( Low) con l'apposito potenziometro per scaldare ulteriormente il suono , nella configurazione boost!
Molto utile nelle situazione live dove se bisogna schiarire il suono, ci si trova un potenziometro per il controllo del tono ( quello centrale) e in un attimo si può perfezionare il tutto in base alle proprie esigenze !
Gain, livello di volume, tono, bassi e controllo di quanti db il boost, super multitasking !
Davvero un prodotto consigliato, dopo più un anno di utilizzo, è ancora in prima posizione nella mia PedalBoard !
Grazie a ThorpyFX e a Thomann!

Exceptional sound, that was exactly the OD sounds I was looking for, sitting between clean/crunch and drive. Works superbly with single coil or humbucker (although more crafted for singles).
The Boost round up the already rich sound.
Too early to find any cons, but very happy with this purchase, worth the money.

As an aside, despite some delivery issue with UPS (catastrophic service), Thomann has been extremely helpful and swift in their response and assistance.
TOP NOTCH service by the Thomann team!


but strongly encourage to change your carrier :)

This pedal is magic. It combines a great booster (it does make everything louder, there's no volume control here, you can just decide how much boost you want to give!) with an overdrive (you can control the overall volume here), and any combinations of the two. Volume staging is a bit tricky, however the boost is really meant to be turned on and never look back. On my '65 Twin Reverb with my single coil guitars it ranges from a wonderful smooth saturation to a warm overdrive, it really does make everything sound better and helps taming the overly bight bridge pickups. The overdrive section has a vintage character, to my ear it reminds a bit the sound of a RAT with the tone toward the close end of the spectrum, but at the same time without giving away the more modern sounding taste, with a good balance of mids, bass and trebles, overall a bit more defined. It also cleans up very well with the volume knob of your guitar and is very reactive of the playing style, a lot more dynamic that a RAT, to keep the same reference point (and to be clear, this is not a RAT substitute, if anything, it does complement it very well). If you have limited space on your pedalboard, this may very well be the only pedal you may need, otherwise it complements other booster or overdrives extremely well, and because it cleans so well and is so responsive to the dynamics of playing, it takes delay and reverb effects particularly well, even darker sounding ones like the carbon copy. I think single coil guitars will shine with this pedal the most, but the overdrive is definitely great on beefier pickups such as PAF humbuckers and P90s, and the booster has a tone control that makes it flexible with those pickups too. Highly recommended, especially if you have a violet telecaster!
