Here for sale we have a Thorpy FX Camoflange Flanger Pedal. Built in the UK, the Camoflange flanger was designed as a collaboration with Dan Coggins, formerly Lovetone pedal designer, as his second modulation pedal design since his Lovetone pedal days. The ThorpyFX Camoflange is a fully analog flanger designed from the ground up to provide the most incredibly versatile flanger sounds with a level of versatility unsurpassed in analogue effects pedals so far.
With controls for Depth, Rate, Blend, Treble, Harmonics and Manual the ThorpyFX Camoflange analogue flanger pedal keeps it functionally simple, but is a deceptively feature packed beast. For stereo pedal enthusiasts, they will be pleased to know that the ThorpyFX Camoflange has both dry and wet outputs. The ThorpyFX Camoflange allows you to deliver an almost unlimited tonal pallet no matter what your mood/style or guitar and amp setup. The premium sound is enhanced through the use of premium components all wrapped in a beautiful custom engineered stainless steel laser etched centre console enclosure.
The controls are as follows:
HARMONICS:
This is a centre zero/centre null control. When centred, there is no regenerative feedback around the delay path. When moved off centre, in either direction up to either extreme, an increasing amount of delay only output signal is fed back to the delay input. Eventually this leads to self oscillation. Each half of the control has an opposite polarity and this produces even harmonics (anticlockwise from centre) or odd harmonics (clockwise from centre), creating different musical timbres.
MANUAL (DELAY TIME):
This sets the clock rate for the BBD delay chip, which is at its shortest at the anticlock wise end and gives proportionally longer delay times when advanced clockwise. When the depth control is at zero/fully (counter clock wise), the Manual control dominates the set delay time which may be swept by hand, accordingly.
TREBLE:
This control allows an increase (from zero fully counter clock wise) up to maximum of upper midrange and treble pre emphasis into the delay line path only. It does not affect the dry signal. As it determines the delay path gain at high frequencies it will interact with the threshold at which the Harmonics control will transition into self oscillation and so both these controls should be treated as mutually interactive, especially when taming down any sonic runaway tendencies. The EQ changes that result from altering this control will affect the timbre of the composite output signal and how the delayed wet path cancels and reinforces against the dry signal.
BLEND:
This control sets the balance of dry/straight buffered input signal (fully counter clock wise) to delay only/wet (fully clock wise) with all ratios in between available over its rotation. In the centre the mix of dry to wet signal is approximately 1:1, which produces the deepest ‘notch’. Fully clockwise will give vibrato and pitch modulation and/or doubling effects. The anticlockwise end will allow for more subtle flanging effects with a less pronounced notch or comb filter depth.
DEPTH:
This control introduces the LFO waveform to the delay time MANUAL control until it dominates it (almost completely) when set fully clockwise. It can and should be used in conjunction with the MANUAL control which skews (and fine tunes) the range of LFO sweep applied to it over most of its area, but less so as the DEPTH is advanced.
RATE:
This control goes from very slow (fully counter clock) to very fast (fully clock wise) and everything in between. It determines the free running LFO frequency, which is applied to the manual delay time with its amplitude fed proportionally from zero to maximum sweep via the DEPTH control setting.
Other key features include robust construction techniques such as off board wired (Neutrik) Jacks and Switches to remove physical stress on the PCB, the best quality 3PDT footswitch available, rated for many cycles and with a smooth action and protection circuitry to reduce the potential for damage from incorrect power inputs

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide
