A modern monster of gain - everything you love about high gain but with that contemporary depth, aggression, clarity and power to blow every other pedal away.

Recently, a style of tones has come forward that has been devastating in not only the power of the gain, but the depth and clarity it provides to the player. Long gone are the doom laden distortions that destroyed the guitars tone and dominated mid ranges, now it's all about the clarity, articulation, face melting, fire breathing distortion that will bring a wall of sound from your amp.

With the now-famous Wampler 3 band active EQ to sculpt the tone perfectly, also included is a gain switch giving you two different styles of distortion. Open - is, as you might guess, extremely open and free - minimal compression with maximum tone. Tight brings in a natural compression, like a tube amp being driven to the very edge. The great thing about the tight is that when on a lower gain setting it can do a really good lower gain tone as well, this setting makes the Dracarys one of the most versatile modern distortions available today. There is no waste with this pedal, all tones are useable and easily available.

    The Dracarys is a pretty awesome pedal. Its quiet with almost no hissing or buzzing when turned on, it gets boatloads of gain, and has excellent tone. The 3 band EQ and additional voicing switch gives lots of flexibility for tone shaping. By far the highest quality distortion pedal Ive ever used. Decided to get this after returning my Wampler Triple Wreck which was very disappointing. I finally understand why Wampler is such a legend in the tone chaser community. It costs nearly double the average distortion pedal, but it is most definitely worth it.

  • Great pedal and great service what more could I ask for.
