Wampler Tumnus Transparent Overdrive Pedal Wampler

Our Take:

Wampler’s Tumnus is a transparent overdrive of mythical proportions packed into a stomp-box that barely makes a dent on your pedalboard real estate! The Tumnus is everything you want from an overdrive: simplicity of use (with only three control knobs), transparency (with a true-to-form buffered bypass), and versatility (especially when stacked with other pedals). Whether you need a standalone overdrive, a boost to push your amp over the edge, or a push for your other effects – the Tumnus is ready to deliver. 

Wampler’s Take:

There is one overdrive circuit to this day has been the most talked about, the most sought after, and the most mythical of them all. It’s big, it’s expensive, and it has certainly earned its place at the table. Wampler has painstakingly and faithfully reproduced that magical tone in all its glory in an unbelievably small package, and its name is Tumnus.

Tumnus is a versatile addition to any setup, any style. Stack it with another pedal to help push or shape the total amount of gain, use it as a stand alone overdrive, or use it as a slightly dirty boost to push the front end of your amp over the edge. You can even use it as a buffer, because just like the original this pedal is not true bypass. Instead, faithful to the original, this pedal contains a buffered bypass tone legendary in its own right.
