After delivering, in collaboration with legendary effect designer Dan Coggins of Lovepedal, the Deep Oggin Chorus in 2018 to widespread acclaim, UK’s Thorpy FX doubled down on that collaboration with another modulation pedal: the Camoflange, an original circuit inspired (at least in part) by the vintage Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress.
The 2024 MkII version ups the ante with stereo out and increased headroom thanks to an updated circuit running internally at 18v – wereas MkI was mono and operating at 9v.
The six knobs (Depth, Rate, Treble, Manual, Blend, and Harmonics) give the player plenty of room to fine-tune this flanger for any possible sonic necessity, from the subtle to the heavy-handed, while separate dry and wet outputs allow for creative routing options.
While our readers will surely know what the Depth, Rate and Treble knobs do, the Harmonics one adds odd harmonics to the tone, opening up the flanger’s sonic palette, in conjunction with the Manual control. The Blend knob is also particularly useful for circumstances where a more natural and dynamic sound is required, achieved by reintegrating some of the original clean signal.
Here’s the first video of MkII, scroll down for the ones focusing on the earlier version.
