ThorpyFX Heavy Water MKII: High-Pressure Sonic Enhancement

If you’ve ever felt like your tone was "almost" there but lacked that final 10% of weight and authority, the Heavy Water MKII is the solution. This isn't just a volume jump; it is a dual-channel, high-headroom "super-boost" designed to saturate your signal with harmonically rich detail.

The MKII version takes the legendary circuit from the right-hand side of the Dane and doubles down, offering two independent boost circuits in a compact, indestructible chassis.

Dual-Engine Versatility

The Heavy Water MKII features two distinct flavors of boost that can be used separately or stacked for total tonal saturation:

  • Side A (The "Dane" Boost): A high-headroom, incredibly transparent boost that adds "air" and sparkle. It’s the perfect "always-on" sweetener for any rig.
  • Side B (The Germanium Voice): This side incorporates a germanium-voiced circuit that adds a subtle warmth and a "chewier" feel. It’s slightly more compressed and aggressive, perfect for pushing a solo through a dense mix.

Key Features

  • Massive Headroom: Internal voltage doubling ensures you have plenty of clean range before the pedal itself begins to clip, allowing your amp's natural character to take the lead.
  • Deep Control: Both sides share a global "Deep" control, allowing you to add low-end girth without the dreaded "mud" that plagues lesser boost pedals.
  • Ultimate Stacking Tool: Place it before your overdrives to add gain and sustain, or after them to act as a massive volume solo boost.
  • Tour-Ready Enclosure: Features the updated MKII compact footprint with top-mounted jacks and Thorpy’s signature "bomb-proof" stainless steel construction.

Why You Need It

The Heavy Water MKII is for the player who loves their amp’s core tone but wants more of it. It’s the difference between a flat recording and a mastered track. Whether you’re looking to add vintage germanium warmth or modern crystalline clarity, the Heavy Water provides the pressure your signal has been missing.

"It’s like taking the blanket off your cabinet. The Heavy Water MKII provides a level of touch-sensitivity and harmonic depth that makes your guitar feel like an extension of your own hands."
