Bigfoot Thunder Pup Mini
What is it?
A mini medium gain guitar pedal for classic British overdrive tones.
How does it sound?
The Thunder Pup Mini utilises the Big Amp mode from the larger Thunder Pup model. It is inspired by the tones of Angus Young (AC/DC) and captures the classic Marshall Plexi 4x12 stack sound. It is a medium gain overdrive with excellent midrange cut-through, powerful lows, and a gentle bite in the highs.
