ThorpyFX pedals, often claimed to be "bombproof" due to founder Adrian Thorpe's background as a British Army Ammunition Technical Officer, have faced a unique test. In a video collaboration with Alford Technologies on the Six String Tales YouTube channel, a real explosives team subjected these pedals to explosive tests. Despite expectations, the pedals were obliterated in the process, which included models like The Bunker and The Peacekeeper. These particular units, however, were already redundant due to prior damage. Thorpe concluded that while no pedal is genuinely bombproof, their products are robust enough for prolonged use in live performances and rigorous scenarios.

In the pursuit of quality assurance, this experiment highlighted the diligence ThorpyFX applies to its craftsmanship. The brand has recently expanded its offerings by collaborating with Victory to transform its famous tube amp tones into the V1 stompbox series, demonstrating its commitment to innovation. Guitarists can take comfort in the rigorous tests these pedals endure, ensuring their reliability and durability, but are advised to avoid any extreme tests involving explosives.
