Product Description
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.
Key Features
- 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.
Highly Controllable
A lot of pedals contain the entire EQ in the same part of the circuit. It is the easiest way to make a 3 band setup but it is certainly not the best way. To get the most out of the controls available, ThorpyFX moved the midrage control before the pre-gain circuit. This gives you even more room to customise your sound. The Peacekeeper can fit in with almost any rig thanks to its huge versatility.
The high and low EQ controls are part of an active stack that sits after the pre-gain circuit. This gives these controls the widest range possible as you can go from completely cut frequencies to heavily boosted tones that cut through the mix.
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.
