When you think of legendary overdrive pedals there is one that always seems to jump to everyone’s mind first. You know the one, it’s big, expensive and is often shinning bright gold or silver on all of your favourite players boards. Well the Wampler Tumnus overdrive is Brain Wampler’s interpretation of that instantly recognizable sound, his design has stood the test of time and for 2023 we’re super excited to announce the limited edition Tumnus Germanium overdrive, the latest addition to the Tumnus family!
One of the main allures of the original Klon overdrive circuits was the inclusion of a very specific “secret” Germanium diode, dubbed “unobtanium” by the original creator, Bill Finnegan. It was said that these diodes were the heartbeat of the coveted tone. Unfortunately for all guitarists out there it was believed that these diodes were long gone, never to be sourced again. That was, until today!
After many years of searching Brian Wampler was able to source an extremely small stash of these illusive diodes and instantly set to work on a new addition to the Tumnus family. The Wampler Tumnus Germanium is crafted from the exact same Germanium diodes and absolutely nails the beautifully smooth overdrive associated with the original Klon overdrives
The Germanium Tumnus’s streamlined 3 control knobs (Volume, Gain, and Treble) allow you to quickly dial in your tones. Set the gain around 9 o’clock for a beautiful smooth overdriven boost and at noon for a fuller voiced, meaty drive. Turn the gain all the way up for a brutal, yet creamy overdriven tone. This pedal is a versatile addition to any pedal board. Stack it with another pedal to help push or shape the total amount of gain, use it as a standalone overdrive, or as a slightly dirty boost to push the front end of your amp over the edge. Just like the original Klon, this pedal is not “true bypass”.
This edition is steeped in a level of exclusivity with a tone that’s set to become legendary. This stash of “secret diodes” is limited, giving you a rare opportunity to own a piece of tone shaping history. But once they’re gone, they’re gone and this pedal will be discontinued.
