ThorpyFX releases the Pulse Doppler phaser

April 25, 2023 · 4 sources

ThorpyFX released the Pulse Doppler, an analog phaser with vibrato and tremolo that the maker describes as a MKII version of the Doppleganger¹². The maker states it was the first design ThorpyFx has released since Dan Coggins became a full time member of the team¹². Coverage of the pedal dates to May 2021, when Gearnews and MusicRadar reported it as available³⁴.

The pedal has five knobs for Depth, Rate, Blend, Enhance and Manual, two toggle switches and two footswitches¹². Delicious Audio reports that the right toggle selects Normal (simple phaser), Pulse (modulation applied to a high pass filter) and Invert (flips the phase of the wet signal), while the left toggle selects Normal or Offset, in which the two frequency notches oscillate against each other². The maker lists wet and dry outputs, a laser cut anodized aluminum enclosure over a burgundy red powder coat base, recessed knobs, a sloped front and top mounted jacks¹.

The maker gives the dimensions as 100mm wide, 125mm long and 53mm high, with 9-volt operation, a standard DC input and 50mA current draw¹².

99¹. No US list price is given in the available material.

The sources differ on the engineer's name. The maker's page and Delicious Audio credit Dan Coggins¹², while Delicious Audio also names "circuit engineer Dan Oggins of Lovetone fame" in the same article². Gearnews and MusicRadar both name Dan Coggins as the Lovetone figure who joined ThorpyFX full time³⁴.
