GUPtech said on November 25, 2022 that it is slowly moving away from the original Poulp design with a new pedal called the Broctopus1. The note appeared in the description of the Poulp - Green Ringer Clone on the maker's site1.
The Poulp is based on the classic Green Ringer and is built in a 1590A enclosure, which the maker describes as small1. It has no control, only an on-off switch, and runs on 9Vdc center negative power only, with power consumption listed at 2mA1. The maker says all of its pedals are made by the company in Saguenay, Québec, Canada1.
The Broctopus is bigger than the Poulp and includes a momentary latch/jog feature, according to the maker1. GUPtech also states that the new design is easier to build and more reliable1. The Poulp page says the Broctopus comes with the PPRSS switching system allowing momentary operation1.
"We are slowly moving away from this original design with the new Broctopus. It's bigger but includes a momentary latch/jog feature."
The Poulp page lists the pedal as sold out at the time of the note1. It also points players who want a fuzz in the same box to the PhoqueR, which the maker describes as including a Germanium Fuzz Face and a Green Ringer in the same box1.
