ThorpyFX The Dane Overdrive/Boost

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!

Bringt mir genau den Ton den ich erwartet und ersehnt habe. Spiele einen H&K Blackspirit 200 Combo. Ich benutze die Boostseite mit der Low einstellung für Single Coil Gitarren als always on Pedal (war der ursprüngliche Grund für den Kauf)und für Humbucker Gitarren als Booster. Beides lässt sich super einstellen und abstimmen. Das Pedal spricht ganz sensibel auf das Spielverhalten an. Und lässt sich auch im always on Betrieb mit dem Booster von meinem Amp ordentlich anblasen.
Der Drive Kanal lässt sich super einstellen und arbeitet meiner Meinung nach perfekt mit dem Boostkanal zusammen. Es lassen sich wunderschöne Sounds rausholen. (Die ich z.B. mit meinem Boss Bluesdriver nicht so hinbekomme)
Den einzigen Stern abziehen muss ich leider in der Bedienung, da das Teil zwar wunderschön aussieht, die Beschriftungen über den Potis leider nur schwer zu lesen sind wenn man bissl weiter weg is.(Nach längerer Benutzung aber egal, da man ja dann eh weis wo man hin langen muss.)
Alles in allem für mich ein gelungenes Teil.
