I have a good customer that sold me his Thorpy collection. He never used them, therefore this is in Mint condition.
Extremely Limited, Germanium version of the Thorpy FX Peacekeeper with modified circuit, built with NOS GE transistors.
I feel like now more than ever, we need a bit more peace so how about peace squared. The Peace²keeper GE Low Gain Edition came from a want to take our loved low-mid gain overdrive, and make it even lower gain. We’ve slightly modified the circuit, taking it from an asymmetrical clipped drive to a symmetrically clipped drive and replaced some of those diodes with some NOS Germanium diodes I had from my pre-ThorpyFx days. I’ve been holding onto them for something special, and decided that this was it. I only have a finite number of these diodes so once this batch has gone, we won’t be making any more. The fundamentals of the circuit and controls are the same, it’s just something a little special I wanted to do to the Peacekeeper. The two together sound fantastic stacked so even if you already have an original, it’s worth getting both.
- Limited Edition - Due to the nature of NOS Germanium transistors, this GE overdrive will only be available for a very limited time!
- NOS Germanium - NOS Germanium transistors are often favoured by guitarists for unique breakup quality, dynamic feel and their natural amp-like clean up. Using them in the Peacekeeper truly takes this circuit to the next level.
- Modified Circuit - To get the best out of these GE transistors, the Peacekeeper circuit has been adjusted from asymmetrical to symmetrical, making this even more unique, even when compared to the original.
