Wampler Pedals | 1 year ago
In this video, we take a closer look at two of the most misunderstood and misused pedals in the history of Wampler Pedals.
The complexity of these pedals starts with their backstories. Created from the necessity of having a tonal Swiss Army knife while playing in bands, these pedals have been misunderstood as mere overdrive or distortion units, and often confused users when the pedals were available.
One of the biggest misconceptions lies in the EQ settings. If you've tried using these pedals as standalone overdrive or distortion units and felt let down, you're not alone. We'll break down the often perplexing EQ settings.
Many users overlook another brilliant feature of these pedals: their utility in situations where an amp might fail, or when dealing with subpar backline amps. Furthermore, they excel in a pedalboard-to-IR-loader setup, offering an alternative that many have never even considered.
While the world moves increasingly toward digital modeling, these analog circuits offer something uniquely compelling. They provide the kind of authentic edge-of-breakup tones that can be a simple yet potent alternative to their digital counterparts.
