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."
