Winner Drawn - The ThorpyFX Pedal Tour and Raffle

monquixote

As some of you may be aware the marvelous @Thorpy6 is launching a new range of original designed pedals and in honour of that exciting venture he has kindly donated a rather delicious pedal for you lovely people to win.

The pedal in question is this rather sexy looking green number:

It's a "Marshall in a box" type pedal. It's not a clone of a commercially available circuit, but is a rather interesting pedal designed by a Canadian guru. It has the regular triumvirate of vol/tone/gain plus a rather interesting "body" control which shifts the mids and makes it really versatile. I actually think it nails the Marshall sound better than a DLS. 

I've recorded a little demo to whet your appetite:

The plan is to mix up the format a little from last time and have two options to get involved:

Option 1: As last time that anyone making a donation to the forum paypal account will be entered into a raffle to win the pedal with one entry per £5 donated.

Option 2: The all new option of trying out the pedal for a couple of weeks in the style of the Jooky tour that happened a while back. In this option you pay £10 and the pedal gets sent to you to tinker with for a couple of weeks (you will also need to cover the cost of sending to the next person in the chain). You will also get an entry to the raffle included for your donation.

Anyone interested in the tour let me know and the address for donations is as ever: thefretboard@outlook.com

The competition duration will be determined by the number of people that fancy being involved in the tour. It's already been for a trip to visit @ttony who may be able to fill in some of his impressions.

Ooo I should point out that you need to include your forum name in the donation!

failed_astronaut

Donation made, great stuff guys

EricTheWeary

I'm up for the tour. Beyond me to PayPal on my phone so will send a tenner later on.
Presumably if the tour doesn't look logistically possible ( too much or not enough interest) this will be converted into two raffle tickets ? Although forum funds over ride any personal interest obviously...

I think we can still do the tour even if only a few people want to get involved. If for any reason someone donates for the tour then can't get the pedal then we can convert it to two tickets.

Jalapeno

Donated.

As I just posted in FX  - need to stop with the pedal and amp acquisition .....

Wazmeister

I'm up for the Tour too... I'll Paypal the funds later...

Wazmeister

Now paid !

monquixote

Sweet. 

Could those who have paid for the tour PM me their addresses so I can sort getting the pedal out on the road!

EricTheWeary

Eventually sorted. Tour money sent complete with adress on message.

monquixote

Sweet, thanks dude!

RocknRollDave

£10 sent for participation in the pedal tour.

I hope to finally get my behind in gear and record something with it for the "Show us your solo style" thread....Fans of aimless pentatonic Blues noodling and sharp/ flat bends, you're in for a treat...

monquixote

Thanks fella!

Needless to say anyone participating in the tour if you could do some, pics, vids, sounds it would be really cool!

Indeed. A plan shall be hatched

EricTheWeary

So far it's about 6 of us. I'm liking my odds in the raffle but probably there should be a few more bods on board so I'll bump this in Recent Discussions. :o3

monquixote

I'll be sending out the pedal to the first tour member in a day or two.
