Thorpy FX has released the Camoflange Flanger MkII, an update to its analog flanger that adds separate wet and dry outputs and runs its circuit at a higher internal voltage¹². The MkII was reported on August 15, 2024².

The pedal keeps the six knobs of the original: Depth, Rate, Treble, Manual, Blend and Harmonics¹. Thorpy FX says the MkII adjusts the internal voltage regime to 18v and uses higher headroom BBDs, while the original MkI was mono and ran at 9v¹². The pedal takes a standard 9-volt DC input, boosted and regulated internally to 18v, and draws 150mA¹. It measures 100mm wide, 125mm long and 53mm high, with recessed knobs, a sloped front and top mounted jacks¹.

The circuit is a collaboration with Dan Coggins, a former Lovetone pedal designer, as his second modulation design since his Lovetone days¹. Delicious Audio describes it as an original circuit inspired at least in part by the vintage Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress². On the controls, Delicious Audio says the Harmonics knob adds odd harmonics to the tone in conjunction with the Manual control, and that the Blend knob reintegrates some of the original clean signal for a more natural sound².

The two accounts differ on the enclosure. Thorpy FX describes a laser cut and anodised enclosure with a custom chameleon art powder coat base¹; Delicious Audio describes a laser cut and laser etched stainless steel enclosure with a green powder coat base². No US price is given in either account.
