THE ALL-NEW
THORNICUS
Ian Thornley Signature Fuzz / Octave Fuzz
After years of development and countless circuit refinements, the Thornicus Fuzz has emerged as a powerful dual-channel fuzz featuring independent Fuzz and Octave Fuzz sides, each with its own dedicated controls for complete tonal flexibility.
“Since very early on in my electric guitar journey, I’ve loved Fuzz. We’ve been through many different Fuzzes through the years and really grew partial to several. Some of our favourite Fuzz pedals simply couldn’t withstand the rigours of constant touring.”
“When the folks at Suhr released the Rufus and the Rufus Reloaded pedals, those pretty much replaced the other fuzzes in my live rig because of their great sound and reliability.”
“The Suhr Thornicus Fuzz has been in development for several years now and perfectly captures the DNA of all the fuzzes I’ve loved over the years, but is infinitely more flexible and versatile.”
“If you love Fuzz the way I love Fuzz, this is the end of your search. I know it’s the end of mine!” –
Crafted Collaboration
The Thornicus Fuzz is the result of a long-standing creative partnership between Kevin Suhr and world-renowned musician Ian Thornley. Their shared obsession with tone, feel, and musical expression has driven countless late-night circuit experiments, A/B tests, and iterative refinements. This pedal reflects that chemistry—two artists pushing each other to chase the sound they hear in their heads.
Octave Character
This octave circuit captures the raw, blooming character Ian love—those gritty, unpredictable overtones that reward touch, phrasing, and intention. It reacts to your technique in a way that feels almost instrument-like, shifting from chime to controlled chaos with the way you play.
Shape Your Fuzz
Each channel of the Thornicus Fuzz—Fuzz and Octave Fuzz—features its own dedicated tone control, giving you complete authority over the character of each side. Shape the fundamental fuzz voice with precision, then craft a separate tonal identity for the octave circuit, from smooth and rounded to cutting and aggressive. This separation lets you dial in two fully unique sound palettes and switch between them effortlessly, without compromise.
Expand With MIDI
The Thornicus Fuzz integrates seamlessly with MIDI, letting you switch channels, whether on a simple board or a fully automated setup, it delivers fast, reliable control tailored for today’s players.
