Suhr Thornicus Ian Thornley Signature Fuzz Pedal | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Suhr Thornicus is Ian Thornley's signature dual-channel fuzz pedal, years in the making and built for guitarists who demand the ultimate in fuzz tone, flexibility, and road-ready reliability. Featuring independent Fuzz and Octave Fuzz channels—each with its own dedicated controls—the Thornicus delivers complete tonal authority across two fully distinct sound palettes. Whether you're chasing smooth, blooming fuzz warmth or gritty, unpredictable octave chaos, this is a professional guitar effects pedal built to end your search for the perfect fuzz.
Product Overview
The Thornicus is the result of a long-standing creative partnership between Kevin Suhr and world-renowned musician Ian Thornley, driven by a shared obsession with tone, feel, and musical expression. After years of late-night circuit experiments, A/B tests, and iterative refinements, the Thornicus captures the DNA of the fuzzes Ian has loved throughout his career—while offering a level of flexibility and versatility that no single vintage fuzz pedal can match. For guitarists in Idaho Falls and beyond who take their fuzz seriously, the Thornicus represents the pinnacle of what a modern signature effects pedal can be.
Each of the two channels—Fuzz and Octave Fuzz—features its own dedicated tone control, giving players complete authority over the character of each side independently. The Fuzz channel delivers the foundational fuzz voice Ian has refined over decades of touring and recording, while the Octave Fuzz circuit captures raw, blooming overtones that react dynamically to your playing technique—shifting from chime to controlled chaos based on touch, phrasing, and intention. This separation allows players to dial in two fully unique tonal identities and switch between them effortlessly without compromise.
The Thornicus integrates seamlessly with MIDI, enabling fast, reliable channel switching whether you're running a simple pedalboard or a fully automated live rig. Built to Suhr's exacting standards for durability and consistency, this is a fuzz pedal designed to withstand the rigours of constant touring—something Ian's previous fuzzes couldn't always deliver. It's available now at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls.

Key Features
Dual-Channel Design: Fuzz & Octave Fuzz The Thornicus features two fully independent channels—a Fuzz side and an Octave Fuzz side—each with its own dedicated controls. This architecture lets players craft two completely distinct tonal identities and switch between them instantly without any compromise to either sound.
Independent Tone Controls Per Channel Each channel has its own dedicated tone control, giving players precise authority over the character of the Fuzz and Octave Fuzz sides separately. Shape the fundamental fuzz voice, then dial in a completely different tonal identity for the octave circuit—from smooth and rounded to cutting and aggressive.
Touch-Sensitive Octave Fuzz Circuit The Octave Fuzz circuit captures raw, blooming overtones that react organically to playing technique—shifting from chime to controlled chaos based on touch and phrasing. This instrument-like responsiveness makes the Thornicus feel alive under the fingers in a way that static fuzz pedals simply cannot replicate.
Seamless MIDI Integration The Thornicus integrates with MIDI for fast, reliable channel switching, making it equally at home on a simple pedalboard or a fully automated live rig. This level of control puts the Thornicus firmly in the professional touring category.
Ian Thornley & Suhr Signature Craftsmanship Built to Suhr's exacting quality and reliability standards, the Thornicus is engineered to withstand the demands of constant touring—delivering consistent, dependable performance every night on the road.
