Here’s what Thorpy FX say about the ThorpyFX WOPR Fuzz Pedal:

The WOPR is one of those pedals that started with an artist/friend wanting something to sound a bit different and elevate their sound beyond what we normally offer. Oli Brown (Oli Brown and the Dead Collective, formerly of Raveneye) has been a friend for a while so I thought I could help him out. He initially wanted a Fallout cloud coupled with the silicon Rangemaster-inspired circuit from the Veteran. This combo was absolutely massive sounding and Oli loved it and has used it for years now.

Something made me come back to this circuit, but I wanted to take it even further, and here was born the WOPR. The Fallout Cloud was removed and replaced with a new circuit based upon the FC concept but with more aggression, more sizzle, more everything. This with the Rangemaster leaves a trail of sonic devastation in its wake. The name WOPR is a nod to the AI supercomputer in the film Wargames. And like the movie you can choose between playing Noughts and Crosses/Tic/Tac/Toe or Global thermonuclear war.

We haven’t done any demos of this pedal, its just to risky to the YouTube servers to unleash this pedal on that platform. If you think you can handle it, give it a go. If you cant handle it….. We understand, it’s vicious.

Internally the pedal is immaculately built using premium 1% metalfilm resistors, Wima and Panasonic capacitors, and Neutrik jacks. These are the crème de la crème of the electronics world and when coupled with a robust gold plated PCB and dust sealed potentiometers the recipe is as good as it can possibly be.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Fuzz — Fuzz is one of the earliest and most distinctive guitar effects, known for its thick, gritty, and saturated tone that completely transforms your sound. It works by heavily clipping the audio signal, producing a raw, almost broken distortion that defined the sound of the ’60s and ’70s rock era. Classic pedals like the Fuzz Face and Big Muff became legendary for their roaring sustain and rich harmonic texture. Modern fuzz pedals range from vintage-style warmth to wild, synth-like chaos, making them perfect for players who want to add character, attitude, and a touch of chaos to their tone.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
