The bromance between @thornicus and @officialalterbridge ‘s @officialmyleskennedy goes back to the 90’s. Doesn’t they have to do this right in my face. A huge thanks to these gentlemen for having us out, nothing but class & blistering talent. #bigwreck #alterbridge
A little over the halfway mark from last night in Ottawa. As the band’s in the best shape it’s ever been in(from the big guy himself), will be making a Patreon video with a handful of the best performances/Ian solos; which currently is just from the 1st 8 shows. Here’s a snippet that likely won’t make the final take of Dog With A Gun. #bigwreck
Ian Thornley’s Signature Dual-Channel Fuzz: The Thornicus
Where feel meets fire.
In this short video, @Thornicus digs into a series of soaring double-stop bends through his Thornicus Signature Fuzz — pushing the pedal into a vocal, harmonically charged bloom that feels alive under your fingers. Every bend swells with rich overtones.
The Thornicus responds to nuance — stacking saturation and harmonic texture in a way that makes wide interval bends sound massive yet articulate. There’s authority in the attack, elasticity in the feel, and a smooth top end that keeps those upper-register bends sweet instead of strident.
Developed in close collaboration between Kevin Suhr and Ian Thornley, the Thornicus was built for moments like this — where touch, phrasing, and dynamics matter as much as raw gain. It’s not just fuzz. It’s an extension of the player.
Expressive. Explosive. Unmistakably Thornley.

Taken night 1. You can tell how stoked Ian is by how quickly he hits the 'blistering' button during his solo. The next month or so's gonna be a doozy, hope to see y'all out here. 🎧by @kaiguy16 #BigWreck
Ian Thornley's Signature Dual-Channel Fuzz: The Thornicus!
The sound behind the signature.
In this video, Ian Thornley dives into the Fuzz side of his Thornicus Signature Fuzz — a channel voiced for thick saturation, smooth, velvety breakup, and sustaining harmonic bloom that feels alive under your fingers. It cleans up with touch, roars when pushed, and carries the authority of a circuit refined over years.
Developed in close collaboration with Kevin Suhr, the Thornicus was never meant to be a clone of a single vintage fuzz. Instead, it captures the collective DNA of the fuzz tones Ian has loved throughout his career — reimagined with greater flexibility, control, and road-ready reliability.
As Ian says:
“The Suhr Thornicus Fuzz perfectly captures the DNA of all the fuzzes I’ve loved over the years, but is infinitely more flexible and versatile. If you love Fuzz the way I love Fuzz, this is the end of your search.”
This is the Fuzz channel — signature tone, thoughtfully engineered, and built to inspire. 🎛️🎸

"Preaching The End Of The World" feat. @markmenghi , @petethornguitarist , @thornicus , @kennyaronoff , @davekerzner & @frankmitaritonna is OUT NOW everywhere you stream music! Watch the full lyric video by @costinchioreanu at the link in bio. A few words from Pete on the @chriscornellofficial tribute:
“‘Preaching The End Of The World’ is a beautiful song that I always enjoyed performing with Chris during my time on tour with him. I remember a show in Tel Aviv where he talked about writing it during a dark time, but ended by saying, ‘but I made it!’ I always think about that in a positive way. He made it for a long time, and we should all be thankful for that.” -Pete Thorn
