Welcome back to ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com where we’ve checked in to the Doctor, from Wampler Pedals. The Doctor is a low-fidelity delay that fixes up your tone and prepares it for outer space propulsion. A series of filters on the wet signal provides a foundation of warmth and degradation that is adaptable to all styles of music, but especially ambient and psych-rock styles. The Doctor gives you up to 800 milliseconds of delay, but after 600 milliseconds, the delay chipset is pushed beyond its electrical limit and gives you ragged repeats that fall apart with precision. Inside the Tone knob is where you’ll find the adjustable filtering that gives the Doctor its characteristic lo-fi tones, and when combined with the Delay Time knob, it forms quite a potent combination. The Doctor’s tap tempo capabilities are vast, going above and beyond most tap-tempo equipped delays. You can set the subdivisions to one of four types, from quarter notes and eighth notes to dotted eighths and beyond. The good Doctor spices things up by giving you two tap tempo jacks—one for a remote footswitch to tap from a distance, and another to send the tap tempo clock to any other pedal with a tap-in jack to keep your timing nice and tight. You can even run the Doctor into another Doctor for extra-spacy delay lines. The signal path of the Doctor is completely analog, using an exacting design that only lets the repeats into the effect before mixing them back into the analog realm. The Doctor sports the ability to run at 18 volts, so that you can run it at the end of the chain without any unmusical distortion creeping in. And just like all Wampler Pedals, the Doctor is made in the USA.
