ThorpyFX Peacekeeper V2 Low-Gain Overdrive
ThorpyFX · pedal
The ThorpyFX Peacekeeper is a low-gain overdrive built to suit any guitar or amp, delivering sweet, edge-of-breakup-to-crunch tones. With extra pre-gain it pushes into a soft, almost driven sound well suited to blues and softer rock, and at lower settings it works as a subtle, Klon-style boost into an amp. A pre-gain Mids/presence control moves the voicing from smooth and mid-scooped to a more pronounced mid-humped gain character, while a post-gain active Treble and Bass circuit further shapes that focused gain stage to taste. It suits players wanting one low-gain overdrive that covers both a transparent always-on boost and a genuinely tone-shapeable edge-of-breakup drive.
