ThorpyFX Team Medic - Buffer, Boost, EQ

reverb.grsm.io...
The Team Medic is one of Thorpy’s high fidelity designs, made in collaboration with circuit mastermind Dan Coggins. Firstly, the Team Medic can heal any tone loss by applying a low noise, Class A buffer, when the pedal is bypassed. This internally switchable circuit allows you to regain treble and punch over long cable runs. The active Bass, Middle, and Treble EQ can effectively do their job of cutting or boosting by 6dB, thanks to the Team Medic’s high internal voltage. This 18V headroom also aides in pedal stacking and re-voicing, keeping everything robust and uncompressed. The Boost portion of the pedal can be used to match volume when switching between guitars or to push your amp harder. The footswitch on the left takes the Team Medic to a new level with an additional 20dB of clean boost, ideal for adding gain to other pedals or quick recovery from drastic tone sculpting. Like all ThorpyFX the Team Medic is chock-full of high grade components such as Burr-Brown op-amps and WIMA caps, all placed in a heavy-duty, laser-etched enclosure.

I don't give a fuck what gear it is I'm always here for Andy's playing

[@chevalking]

Yep! Sounds great, this is next on my list to add to my Fat General and Peacekeeper. Thorpy makes really well thought out pedals. Thanks for the great demo Andy!

[@anthonypinto9244]

Dude you are one of the most consistent and best guitar/gear reviewers. Please don’t ever stop my guy. Rock on brother, god bless

[@AS__77]

Cool Black Crowes/Shake Your Money Maker sounds from you in this one. Love it!

[@JCKnuckles]

Gee the Team Medic sounds great. I think I may purchase one. 🤟🏽🎈♠️

[@toddsteele72]

Great work Andy. As always outstanding.

[@mikedr1549]

Really enjoyed the Stones song! You really nailed the rhythm tone of ol Keef!

[@AndyDemos]

I really appreciate it, the rhythm is crucial!

[@Josh-iw2kw]

Holy shit Andy, best demo-er alive. You play the coolest and most appropriate stuff

[@ShotGunRoleModel]

Fantastic tone

Rolling stones, get down! Well done mate!!

All thorpy all the tyme

[@DJ7tringGuitar]

And I'm still waiting for a video going over the specs for that damn CME Les Paul

[@markm668]

Andy is smiling, me thinks he likes 😎

[@betty4774]

Please, Andy, try to get a sound city sc30. There are not many good demos.

[@AndyDemos]

Betty I’d be interested in trying! Thanks 👍🏻

[@edadpops1709]

Nice shirt dude😉

[@MisfitSass]

Anybody have suggestions for a lower budget pedal alternative to the team medic? Preferably under £100?

[@edadpops1709]

Ah that Ibanez is sounding sweet

[@jojojiles]

I'll prob catch hell from the purists for this...but I like the guitar tone Andy gets on this Stones "cover" better than the actual tone on the original. More glassy chime on the Tele and a cooler T-Rex growl on the Les Paul. Kinda like how the Stones riff would have sounded if The Gun Club would have written it or something.

[@LennySugiono]

I don’t like the idea of just getting a buffer .. so this is perfect

[@ShlomirBareket]

I was slightly disappointed with the Team Medic as it does pretty much the same thing as the Peacekeeper, minus the extra boost footswitch, the Peacekeeper gets just as loud. Also the Peacekeeper has a tad more gain, but not that much

[@thorpyfx2679]

Hi, sorry you were slightly disappointed, hopefully this explanation of the design philosophy may help. They are VERY different pedals and for different purposes. The Peacekeeper is a low gain overdrive. Set the gain level to taste and it provides a tasteful and interesting drive characteristic to blend with or enhance your overdriven or clean amp tone. The TEAM MEDIC does not provide any overdrive. It is a high headroom utility pedal designed to polish and enhance your rig. The buffer drives long cable runs, the EQ adjusts the sound you already have to taste. This can be done in a transparent manner retaining the core sound of the pedal you run into the team medic but making it fit your needs. If you want to boost a pedals output level then the team medic will do that but still retain the pedals personality at the heart of things. Finally if you want you can use the team medic as a massive booster hitting the front end of your amp with gobs of signal and driving the valves into overdrive..... the best analogy is that the peacekeeper is the main ingredient..... the team medic is the platter of herbs, spices that add a little magic to your current rig.

@@thorpyfx2679 Hey Thorpy, I got the team medic! I love it! Quick question. What do you think about using it first in the chain? before overdrive pedals..

[@jnnyg65]

Looks like the problem is occuring upstream from the signal path 😂😂😂

[@BuildYourOwnBass]

Too bad this pedal won't fix broken output jacks and noisy volume pots. visit your local Luther!
