Hi Friend,
Today we do something quite unconventional for Wampler. Today we’re introducing to you two new pedals, but with a twist - these are $99. Also a new twist to how we do things normally: you’ll be able to buy them direct from our reverb.com store as well as through your favorite retailers!

First, we have the Triumph overdrive. This is based around one of my favorite two of my all time favorite overdrives, the Bad Monkey and the boss sd-1. HOWEVER, in typical Brian fashion I’m adding in additional EQ stages that allow a variety of different tones as well as internal switches in both that change the circuit quite a bit in order to add some glassy flavor.
Next, the Phenom distortion is a circuit I’ve been working on for a few years now. Years ago we made several versions of a pedal called the Plextortion but I never was 100% happy with it, so I restarted from the ground up using JFETS instead of op amps and clipping diodes. In this arrangement the fets are driven much in the same way that you would use tubes to distort a signal, but it’s a unique circuit. I wanted to get a bit more of an old 5150 type of flavor to it. Though keep in mind - I wouldn’t necessarily call this an exact “5150 amp in a box” but it certainly heads pretty close to that direction.
Check it out Friend, I'd love to hear your thoughts on them!
Thanks, Brian Wampler Wampler Pedals
