Description
The ThorpyFX 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.
Controls
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.
Component Listing and Tech Spec
When buying a ThorpyFX pedal, you can be sure that what you are buying is built with no compromise on quality.
ThorpyFX pedals are designed from the ground up to:
Sound as good as they can possibly sound. During development ThorpyFX pedals are benchmarked against the leading competition and tailored to beat them in all areas.
Use only the best components available such as Wima and Panasonic capacitors, 1% metal film resistors, Audiophile grade Op-Amps and gold plated PCB's.
Use the best quality 3PDT footswitch available, rated for many cycles and with a smooth action. These are costly to use but quality doesn't come cheap.
Use robust construction techniques such as off board wired (Neutrik) Jacks and Switches to remove physical stress on the PCB.
Integrate protection circuitry to reduce the potential for damage from incorrect power inputs.
Use a custom built, gig ready enclosure designed to look great and be built like the proverbial outhouse.
Be something you are proud to own and proud to use for many years to come.
