Bigfoot Thunder Pup
Our flagship guitar overdrive pedal.
The Bigfoot Thunder Pup is a low/medium gain guitar pedal that covers the classic British overdrive tones.
How does it sound?
The Thunder Pup has 2 settings: the Big Amp mode is inspired by the tones of Angus Young (AC/DC) and captures the classic Marshall Plexi 4x12 stack sound. It has a little more gain, a stronger lower-midrange punch, and powerful low frequency response. The Little Amp mode has a faster attack in the lows, cleaner mids, and more air in the highs like a vintage open back 2x12 combo, such as the Vox AC30 or the Marshall Bluesbreaker.
Unique features
This pedal does not feature any EQ controls because the tone has been meticulously crafted to provide the perfect sweet spot every time. The character of any guitar will always shine through, retaining every nuance of your playing dynamics and reacting flawlessly to your guitar's volume controls.
