Wampler Tumnus DELUXE Pedal Demo - An ultra-tweaked Tumnus!

Wampler Tumnus DELUXE Pedal Demo - An ultra-tweaked Tumnus!

Wampler

Description

With the first iteration of the Tumnus, Wampler Pedals perfected their take on the sound of the mythical overdrive. With the release of the Tumnus Deluxe, Brian Wampler has set a new standard.

Thanks in large part to the design’s articulate-sounding buffer, all of the clarity, punch and detailed breakup of the original Tumnus are still there. But if you prefer the sound of true-bypass performance, just hit the switch on the side of the pedal for uncolored tonal purity. Wampler also injected the Tumnus Deluxe with a level of tonal flexibility not previously available on this style of drive. Active bass and mid controls, as well as a treble control, the same as the pedal it was inspired by, encourages you to sculpt the tone from this pedal to the demands of your rig.

Whether you’re boosting a driven amp or another pedal, using the pedal as a stand-alone overdrive, or crowning it your “always on” tonal sweetener, you’ll find the Tumnus Deluxe’s wide-ranging controls make it much more than just another clone.

Legendary Tone and More

The Tumnus Deluxe delivers all the string-to-string clarity, high-headroom output, and amp-like breakup that made this style of overdrive pedal so iconic. But its 3-band EQ will enhance your tone with warm low end, instantly identifiable midrange, and just the right amount of top-end sparkle. Unlike some other similarly voiced pedals, the Tumnus Deluxe has enough tonal control to perfect your sound through any rig.

Buffered or True Bypass

The buffer inside the Tumnus Deluxe sounds so good, you might just find it enhances your tone whether the pedal is on or off. But Wampler Pedals know that some players prefer the clean signal path of true-bypass operation. With the Tumnus Deluxe’s side-mounted buffered/true bypass control, attaining that uncolored sound is as easy as flipping a switch.

Wampler-Quality Construction

Brian Wampler’s attention to detail and commitment to designing the best and most player-friendly products out there are second to none. Those qualities are on full display within the Tumnus Deluxe. From its convenient top-mounted jacks to its amazingly flexible switching, the Tumnus Deluxe overdrive pedal is every bit a Wampler.

    There isn't much I can say about this pedal that hasn't been said before. It sounds great, it's reliable and it doesn't take much estate on your pedalboard. It's great to be stacked with some high gain overdrive pedals.

  • Best overdrive out there

    This is the best overdrive pedal out there, i use it as my always on pedal that just brightens the tone and helps refine my other distortion pedals.

    Wide range of natural sounding overdrive effect. Three band eq can really tune in the sound. Sturdy and compact. Buffer switch is a nice feature.

    I use it before my other drive pedals or as a tight mid boost as needed. Can be dialed in to eq with other pedals and tones well.

  • Exceeded my expectations.

    This pedal is way more versatile than I thought it would be. It's easy to shape a wide range of sounds when using single coils. I haven't tried with humbuckers yet.

  • I love this pedal.

    Are the graphics on the Wampler Tumnus deluxe as pictured in your ad? There was a graphics change for this pedal and I want to verify that if I purchase it, it will come with the graphics that are shown. Thanks.

    Do you carry the original version with the Tumnus character on it (like in the pictures) or the new version with just the name?

    It will be what is pictured.

    asked byKathy

    Does this come with a patch cable? If not, will any patch cable work or does it need to be a specific size input?

    Open Reply - Ronald
    All it takes is a 1/4" connection for the patch cable, but it is sold separately.
