Judge Dredd comic book-inspired ThorpyFX pedals? Yes, please
ThorpyFX has teamed up with multimedia studios Rebellion on a line of comic book-themed pedals inspired by 2000 AD characters.
Three pedals have been launched through the partnership – which are each respectively based on the characters Judge Dredd, Judge Death, and Rogue Trooper – and a range of funky picks are also available as part of the launch.

2000 AD was first published in 1977, and has been in the care of Rebellion since the year 2000. Rebellion is one of the world’s most successful independent video games studios, and it also produces books, TV, film, board games, and more alongside its comics too.
Not only do these pedals look cool, they’re also made to “survive the rigours of the road and deliver consistent superior sound in all working environments.” Built around existing ThorpyFX pedals, each one aligns with the character it’s named after, and features exclusive 2000 AD collab artwork.

Judge Dredd has been honoured with The Lawbringer, based on the award winning British-style Gunshot overdrive, which “aims to place Law above all else in line with Judge Dredd’s singular uncompromising attitude”. At the heart of this pedal is a proprietary cascading ‘gain engine’, tuned to deliver maximum tonality for a wide range of amps.
Judge Death’s Deathbringer is built around the distortion Warthog pedal that ThorpyFX designed to be “the distortion to beat all others”. This one has an American voice, and can cover all kinds of tones from boost to fuzz.
The final pedal in the collection is the Rogue Trooper Fallout Cloud. It’s described as embodying “the dark vengeful theme of the dystopian Nu-Earth world, but with a soundscape that is as massive as the wastelands found on Nu-Earth.” It’s a special edition version of the original Fallout Cloud designed by ThorpyFX in 2016 and is branded as a Triangle era-inspired fuzz.
Each pedal is available to pre-order now via ThorpyFX and each is priced at £229. You can also find out more about 2000 AD via Rebellion.
