January 30, 2024 · 3 sources

Thorpy FX has released The Dane MkII, a smaller version of its dual overdrive and boost pedal made with Peter "Danish Pete" Honoré, adding a toggle switch for a second boost clipping mode¹²³. Delicious Audio dated its coverage January 30, 2024²; Gearnews published on September 1, 2023³.

The pedal keeps two sides: a light to medium gain overdrive on the left and a high headroom clean boost on the right, with the boost running into the drive side¹. Thorpy FX says this yields three tonal variations, from clean boost to full saturation, and that the pedal cleans up from the guitar's volume control¹. The MkII moves the circuit into a smaller black anodized aluminum enclosure²³. Thorpy FX lists the dimensions as 65mm wide, 125mm long and 53mm high, with a current draw of 34mA¹.

The new toggle switches the boost from the standard DP (Danish Pete) clipping to Heavier Clipping (HC), which Thorpy FX describes as similar to the second channel of the Heavy Water¹³.

Gearnews reported a price of $235.00 and said both versions of The Dane were listed at the same price on the ThorpyFX site³. Gearnews also said the standard version remained available³. The Dane is a boost and overdrive pedal, listed among boost pedals.
