Suhr Thornicus Octave Fuzz

THORNICUS

Ian Thornley Signature Fuzz / Octave Fuzz

After years of development and countless circuit refinements, the Thornicus Fuzz has emerged as a powerful dual-channel fuzz featuring independent Fuzz and Octave Fuzz sides, each with its own dedicated controls for complete tonal flexibility.

The Thornicus Fuzz is the result of a long-standing creative partnership between Kevin Suhr and world-renowned musician Ian Thornley. Their shared obsession with tone, feel, and musical expression has driven countless late-night circuit experiments, A/B tests, and iterative refinements. This pedal reflects that chemistry—two artists pushing each other to chase the sound they hear in their heads.

This octave circuit captures the raw, blooming character Ian love—those gritty, unpredictable overtones that reward touch, phrasing, and intention. It reacts to your technique in a way that feels almost instrument-like, shifting from chime to controlled chaos with the way you play.

Each channel of the Thornicus Fuzz—Fuzz and Octave Fuzz—features its own dedicated tone control, giving you complete authority over the character of each side. Shape the fundamental fuzz voice with precision, then craft a separate tonal identity for the octave circuit, from smooth and rounded to cutting and aggressive. This separation lets you dial in two fully unique sound palettes and switch between them effortlessly, without compromise.

The Thornicus Fuzz integrates seamlessly with MIDI, letting you switch channels, whether on a simple board or a fully automated setup, it delivers fast, reliable control tailored for today’s players.
