Description

The ThorpyFX Warthog Distortion Mini Pedal is In stock available now for fast UK delivery online for £199 + Delivery. This excellent piece of kit is manufactured by ThorpyFX and in New condition and comes with a great warranty.

If you're a fan of high gain crushing American style distortion but also want a pedal that can be easily tamed, you need the Thorpy FX Warthog. Named after certain pieces of American military hardware, this pedal is strong, aggressive and built like an absolute tank.

ThorpyFX went back to the drawing board and redesigned the pedal to have a smaller footprint so it fits neatly on a Pedaltrain board.  

Sound

You can get a smooth clean boost or light crunch at lower EQ settings, but this pedal is at its best when cranked. The Warthog produces a lovely American warm midrange and low end that fill up the mix of any band even when maxing out the gain. At these high gain points you get crushing distortion mixed in with fuzz like overtones.

Premium components

ThorpyFX pedals are built to last. The unique recessed look protects the dials from breakage and the dangers of touring. Its metal casing ensures the delicate circuit is well housed.   

Only the very best electronics have gone into building ThorpyFX pedals. 1% metalfilm resistors, Wima and Panasonic capacitors, Neutrik jacks and a Burr-Brown Opamp deliver a crisp effect.

  • Gain, Tone, Volume & Calibre controls
  • Rugged metal enclosure
  • ThorpyFX signature chrome finish
  • Size: (W)70mm x(L)145mm x(H)60mm =(2.75"x5.7"x2.36") designed to fit perfectly across two Pedaltrain spars.

Distortion

Distortion is a guitar effect that alters the signal’s waveform, creating a gritty, aggressive sound characterized by a high level of harmonic content and sustain. It’s achieved by amplifying the input signal to the point where the amplifier or pedal’s circuitry begins to clip, causing the waveform to become squared off and jagged. This clipping produces harmonics that weren’t present in the original signal, resulting in the characteristic “gritty” or “dirty” tone associated with distortion. Distortion pedals typically feature controls for adjusting the amount of gain or distortion applied, as well as tone-shaping knobs to tailor the sound’s frequency response. Distortion is widely used in rock, metal, and punk music to add power, aggression, and sustain to guitar solos, riffs, and rhythm parts, creating a bold and intense sonic impact in the mix. Popular distortion pedals include the Boss DS-1, Pro Co Rat, and Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi.

Guitar FX

Guitar FX (effects) refer to the wide range of pedals and processors that shape and manipulate a guitar’s signal to create different sounds. From classic distortion and overdrive to reverb, delay, modulation, and pitch-shifting, effects are at the heart of a guitarist’s creative toolkit. Whether analogue or digital, stompbox or multi-effects unit, Guitar FX allow players to express mood, texture, and dynamics in unique ways. Used thoughtfully, they can transform a simple riff into something atmospheric, aggressive, or entirely otherworldly.

mini

Mini refers to compact, portable versions of guitar gear such as pedals, amplifiers, or accessories. Mini pedals and amps are designed to save space on your pedalboard or make practice and travel easier without sacrificing essential features or tone quality. These smaller units are ideal for musicians who need lightweight, convenient equipment for rehearsals, gigs, or home use.

pedal

A pedal is a compact device that guitarists use to alter their instrument’s sound by shaping effects such as distortion, delay, reverb, and modulation. Typically housed in a rugged enclosure and controlled by footswitches, pedals are designed to be placed on the floor for hands-free operation during playing. They can be analogue or digital, true bypass or buffered, and come in countless varieties to suit different styles and preferences. Pedals are essential tools for creating signature tones and adding colour and texture to a guitarist’s sound.
