ThorpyFX Peacekeeper MKII: The Ultimate Low-Gain Sculptor

If The Dane is about "grit and glass," the Peacekeeper MKII is about precision and purity. Designed to be the world's most versatile low-gain overdrive, the MKII update takes Adrian Thorpe’s masterclass in EQ shaping and shrinks it into a compact, pedalboard-friendly format.

This isn't just a "transparent" drive—it's a surgical tool that allows you to add hair, sustain, and character to your tone while keeping the fundamental voice of your guitar and amp completely intact.

Key Features

• Active EQ Architecture: Unlike standard "Tone" knobs that simply roll off high end, the Peacekeeper features active Treble and Bass controls. You can boost or cut frequencies to fix a muddy amp or add body to a thin guitar.
• Pre-Gain Mid Control: The "Mids" knob sits before the gain stage, allowing you to decide exactly how much "punch" hits the clipping circuit.
• Touch-Sensitive Clipping: At low settings, it acts as an enhancer; as you crank the Gain, it transitions into a smooth, D-style overdrive that responds beautifully to your pick attack.
• MKII Refinements: Now features a significantly smaller footprint and top-mounted jacks, making it easy to slot into the most crowded professional rigs.
• The "Clean-Plus" Sound: Perfect for players who want that "edge of breakup" sound without the compression or mid-hump associated with traditional Tube Screamers.

Tonal Profile

The Peacekeeper MKII is often described as the "Swiss Army Knife" of overdrives. Because of its active EQ, it can mimic the transparent boost of a Klon, the flat response of a Timmy, or the mid-forward punch of a boutique blues-breaker—all while maintaining the signature ThorpyFX low-noise floor.

"The Peacekeeper MKII doesn't just change your sound; it perfects it. It is the gold standard for players who demand total control over their frequency response."
