An absolute holy grail for pedal collectors and fans of Chris Buck. Available here is Serial Number 1 (#001) of the highly acclaimed ThorpyFX Electric Lightning Valve Overdrive and Booster.

As the very first unit off the line of Adrian Thorpe’s flagship, inaugural dual-valve design, this is an investment-grade piece of UK boutique pedal history.

Condition:

  • Mint / Immaculate: The pedal is in flawless cosmetic and functional condition. It has been kept in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment and handled with collector's care.
  • 100% Complete: Includes the original box, matching serial packaging, the worldwide 12V DC power supply, manual, and all original case candy.

About the Pedal:

Designed in tight collaboration with Chris Buck, the Electric Lightning combines an incredibly touch-sensitive, high-headroom 12AX7/12AU7 valve overdrive section on the left with an independent, ultra-clean boost on the right. Combined with a powerful 3-band EQ, it is widely considered one of the finest, most amp-like drive pedals ever built.

Shipping & Terms:

Due to the high-value and historical nature of Serial #1, this will be shipped fully tracked and fully insured via premium courier (Royal Mail Special Delivery within the UK) requiring a signature upon receipt. International shipping is available—please message for an exact, insured quote to your destination.

Offers are welcome, but lowballers will be politely ignored. This is a rare opportunity to own a definitive piece of ThorpyFX history.
