Designed to give bass players a wide range of overdriven sounds, the Aquilar Agro V2 bass overdrive pedal produces everything from warm, tube-like overdrive to full-on distortion, with an intuitive control set for shaping your sound.
Featuring bass-specific Presence and Contour controls, which provide flexibility to adjust the treble and midrange of the overdrive without losing any low end, the Aguilar Agro V2 give bassists a powerful, intuitive control set for fine tuning an overdriven bass sound.

Equipped with a RATIO control to let users adjust the mix of dry signal to modulated signals, creating unique chorusing effect, the Aguilar Chorusarus is perfect for bassists looking for a Chorus modulate effect that doesn’t let go of any of their low end.
Aguilar Filter Twin V2 Dual Bass Envelope Filter Pedal
The Aquilar Filter Twin V2 dual bass envelope filter pedal uses two identical filters sweeping in opposite directions—one up in frequency, one down in frequency—for a classic ‘70s-inspired funk sounds and completely new and original filter tones.
With both filters sweeping simultaneously the Aguilar Filter Twin V2 offers players the potential to achieve more organic, vocal qualities not found in other filter pedals for new tonal options, using a BLEND Control to let users mix both the Up and Down filters along with the velocity of the sweep.

Equipped with an intuitive control set, the Aguilar Fuzzistor V2 delivers a classic silicon transistor fuzz tone without losing any of the low end and gives bassists expanded EQ, blend, and saturation controls, plus the ability to blend clean and fuzz sounds.
Aguilar Grape Phaser V2 Phaser Bass Pedal
The Aguilar Grape Phaser V2 bass pedal provides lush, analog phase shifting courtesy of a simple, two-knob layout, equipped with a unique COLOR circuit, which feeds a portion of the signal back through the phase shifting circuit, creating new and super funky bass sounds, without losing any of the low end.
Ideal for bassists seeking a rich, warm phaser in a simple, no-fuss format, the Aguilar Grape Phaser V2 boasts a wide range of spacious sounds, fit for all styles of playing—especially soloing, fretless, and slap.

- The Warthog Distortion goes right for the gut of all other distortions, offering incredible sonic range from a crystal-clear clean boost to scorched earth crunch.
- Those who know know Danish Pete. His signature overdrive and boost, The Dane, is the ace-in-the-hole for dynamic players who demand versatility.
- The Bunker Drive beefs up the famous Brown Source, increasing volume and adding a texture control while packing it all into a smaller, pedalboard-friendly enclosure.
- The Peacekeeper Low-Gain Overdrive pairs an active, post-gain control for treble and bass with a pre-gain mids/presence control for total tonal tailoring.
- ThorpyFx's first, the Gunshot Overdrive, puts every other overdrive in its crosshairs with a proprietary "gain engine" for maximum tonal range.
- The Field Marshall Fuzz improves on the legendary Big Cheese, shrinking the footprint, increasing the volume, and adding a tonestack bypass for more options.
- The Fallout Cloud Fuzz pays tribute to Triangle-era effects while simultaneously doing its best to blow them all out of the water.
- The Deep Oggin brings Lovetone's Dan Coggins back into the spotlight with 100%-analog chorus and vibrato circuitry, just like how it used to be.
- The Heavy Water isolates The Dane's desirable boost circuit into a small, standalone enclosure, adding a germanium diode-based boost in the second channel for switching or stacking, because why not?
- The third installment in ThorpyFx's "Vintage Reimagined" Series, the Veteran Si Vintage Fuzz and Boost squeezes silicon-based Smiley- and Rangemaster-style circuitry into one exclosure.
- Thorpy promotes the OTC-201 compressor to create the Fat General, a pedalboard tank, adding balance and sustain to your signal without the extra noise.
- The Team Medic Buffer, EQ, Boost, and Boost + offers tonal first aid for all, equally suited to the electric guitar as it is to bass and more.
- Also produced in collaboration with Dan Coggins, the Camoflange Flanger is another all-analog blast from the past, with modern functionality making it more versatile than any vintage model.
