Shaftesbury Duo Fuzz

ThorpyFX

£199.99

Originally released in the heyday of guitar effects pedal inventions and distributed by Rose Morris, the Duo Fuzz combines two unique fuzz effect voicings that have been used by legendary guitarists from the likes of Genesis and The Who. Also known under the Univox name, the pedal has since fallen into the hands (and pedalboards!) of revered modern players too. Rose Morris have collaborated with ThorpyFX to meticulously recreate the Duo Fuzz, in both its original big box glory and in a more pedalboard friendly compact enclosure.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THORPYFX LTD, number 09326701. Checked 2026-09-06.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
