The ThorpyFX Have Blue: Vintage Germanium Boost Reimagined

Classic Boost with Modern Versatility

The Thorpy Have Blue Germanium Boost is part of Thorpy’s “Vintage Reimagined” series, bringing new life to the classic Rangemaster boost circuit. Carefully modified for enhanced flexibility and tone, the Have Blue delivers everything from subtle harmonic enhancement to a bold, thick boost in your chosen frequencies. Whether you want to add texture to your tone or push your amp into saturation, this pedal provides unmatched versatility with vintage warmth.

Thoughtful Design for Maximum Compatibility

The Have Blue incorporates a custom-designed transformer that simulates an optimal pickup signal at the circuit’s input. This innovation allows you to place the pedal anywhere in your signal chain without compromising its tonal integrity. While it’s recommended to use early in the chain, its flexibility gives you freedom to experiment.

An internal trimpot allows for fine-tuning during manufacturing, ensuring the pedal delivers a slightly asymmetrical boost for added character and richness.

Intuitive Controls

With just two knobs, the Have Blue makes dialing in your perfect tone effortless:

• Boost: Adjusts the overall output level, from subtle enhancement to roaring boost.
• Range: Shapes the frequencies affected by the boost, offering everything from tight focus to full-spectrum enhancement.

Premium Components for Superior Performance

Internally, the Have Blue is constructed with meticulous attention to detail using:

• NOS Germanium Transistor: Provides smooth, warm, vintage tone.
• 1% Metal Film Resistors: Ensure precision and stability.
• WIMA and Panasonic Capacitors: Deliver superior audio quality.
• Through-Hole PCB: Hand-soldered for durability and reliability.

Rugged and Beautiful Design

The Have Blue is housed in a stunning laser-cut black anodized aluminum enclosure with a rainbow sparkle blue base. Its sloped front, recessed knobs, and top-mounted jacks make it both functional and visually striking. Built for the rigors of live performance, this pedal is as durable as it is elegant.
