The flexible distortion pedal

Thorn Soundlabs, a fresh name from the U.S., is serving up some serious analogue distortion with its exceptionally versatile Silver Spurs effect pedal. Whether paired with a tube amp or any other amplifier, the Silver Spurs offers a wide range of distortion tones – from subtle grit to full-throttle saturation. Equipped with multiple distortion voicings, a powerful 4-band EQ, and Thorn Soundlab's signature Damping and Headroom controls, Silver Spurs offers precise tone shaping and dynamic response. The optional 18V operation unlocks even more headroom and dynamic response. True to the Thorn Soundlabs aesthetic, the Silver Spurs comes in a striking retro design inspired by 1960s Hollywood B-movie graphics, blending its bold tone with an unmistakable style.

Full of features for that dream sound

The Thorn Silver Spurs comes in a sturdy metal housing measuring 94 × 123.5 × 53mm – about the size of two standard pedals. The Silver Spurs features Gain, Volume, Damping, and Headroom controls, along with a 4-band EQ for Bass, Mid, Treble, and Presence. A sturdy footswitch used to activate or bypass the pedal completes the setup. When bypassed, Silver Spurs operates with a hardwired true bypass, ensuring the signal remains completely unaffected by the circuit. While it runs on a standard 9V power supply, Silver Spurs truly comes to life with 18V operation, delivering added headroom and expanded dynamics for a more open, responsive sound.

About Thorn Soundlabs

Founded in 2021, Thorn Soundlabs hails from the heart of “Music City”, where Nashville's rich musical heritage and creativity provided the perfect backdrop for a collective of engineers, seasoned touring musicians, industry veterans, and passionate tone enthusiasts to come together. United by a shared vision, they set out to redefine effects pedals, not by creating “just another overdrive pedal”, but by crafting tools that inspire and shape sonic exploration. The company’s growing lineup now includes distortion, fuzz, compressor, tremolo, and booster pedals for guitar and bass. Boasting proprietary circuit designs and unique features such as damping and headroom controls, each Thorn Soundlabs pedal delivers dynamic, responsive and timeless sound. In just a few years, Thorn Soundlabs has made its mark on the industry, and with their self-evident passion for their craft, more exciting products from this brand are sure to follow.

Signature sound, smooth transitions

What truly sets the Silver Spurs apart from typical distortion pedals are its two unique controls: Damping and Headroom. These features have become something of a Thorn Soundlabs signature, appearing across their entire range of distortion pedals. The Damping control acts as a high-pass filter, removing low-end frequencies from the distorted signal to keep the sound tight and focused, avoiding unwanted muddiness. The Headroom control determines how much clean signal is allowed before distortion sets in, making it especially useful when paired with a tube amp whose output stage is pushed right up to its breakup point. These controls make it effortless to dial in everything from clean to gritty tones using only playing dynamics, allowing for smooth transitions between sections like verse and chorus without adjusting a single knob.
