This was a very late release last year - the announcement email arrived on Christmas Day - just before Christmas Day Lunch - which of course is  sacrosanct for many! I was of course involved in Christmas Dinner prep at the time - and quite missed the arrival of said missive. When I finally clocked that email later during the evening of that - those 10 pedals made were of course long since claimed.

 

Controls - Sustain, Timbre, Balance.

 

I’m something of a Thorpy collector and chronicler, and own most of his pedals, while I’m not a fan of unnecessarily large enclosures - which includes these Tone Bender style formats, and the original Arbiter Fuzz Face ’Mic Stands’.

 

I’m a tad miffed I don’t have a Thorpy Buzzaround type, while this EAO format is not for me. Hopefully he will revisit this circuit again in a more compact format at some stage in the future. I’m keenly awaiting his Silicon Boneyard variant in the meantime.

 

I only have about half a dozen or so Buzzarounds in my collection to date as far as I recall - so there’s plenty room for more. I would undoutebtly have snapped up a more compact enclosure edition of this EAO, and hopefully that can become a reality some day.

 

In the meantime I’m definitely getting the Tanabe Sunkudo at some stage this year - to complete my Tanabe Quadfecta!

 

You can read up more about the EAO on the ThorpyFX website.

 

Alas there’s not much in the way of demo videos for this pedal - while Thorpy did do a launch announcement video short as below. Thorpy is quite the Fuzz Master - and I love every one of his Fuzz circuits to date - so I can’t but expect that the EAO would be exceptional too. Thorpy’s original Germanium Boneyard Multi-Bender is one of my very favourite all time fuzzes!
