The J is the result of a collaboration between ThorpyFX and Lazy J Amplifiers, created to deliver the complex, harmonically rich tone of the famous Lazy J J-20 amplifier in a compact pedal. Designed as a “tweed tour de force,” The J behaves like a real amp, using a high-quality transformer for authentic dynamic response. It allows users to select between 12AX7 and 12AY7 input tube voicings for dirtier or cleaner tones. Intended to run into a clean or low-gain amplifier, it captures the warmth and three-dimensional feel of a premium vintage combo.

THE ”J” as an Analog amp emulator can work fantastically well with your existing amp, your existing pedals and it integrates easily into your current rig. You can use it to create beautiful, enhanced tweed “LAZY J - J20” vintage amp sounds or craft your own sound. Tested worldwide during its development on the biggest of stages, you can be confident the “J” will deliver.

The J Controls:

LEFT FOOTSWITCH: ON/OFF. Turns the pedal on and off, true bypass.

RIGHT FOOTSWITCH: Switches between the Normal and Bright Channel.

OUTPUT: This is the Master Volume and controls overall output.

RESPONSE: A subtle presence adjustment control.

SUPPLY: Emulates the Voltage attenuation control in the J20- Full clockwise is full voltage, anything below this emulates voltage attenuation.

NORMAL: Controls the volume/gain for the normal channel.

TONE: This allows you to dial in the EQ you’d like for the pedal, from dark to strident.

BRIGHT: Controls the Volume/Gain for the Bright channel.

X / Y SWITCH: This allows you to select what emulated input valve you want, 12AX7 for medium gain tones and 12AY7 for lower gain drive.

POWER: THE J is designed to be powered by a 9V DC centre-negative 2.1mm power supply. Internally the voltage is bumped up to 18V. Do not attempt to use this pedal with other voltages or polarities. We have power protection circuitry in our pedals and use of any other voltages will shut the pedal down and require return to ThorpyFx HQ for repair. This will not be covered under warranty.
