Germanium Tumnus
The Wampler Germanium Tumnus is a limited-edition overdrive pedal that captures the highly sought-after tone of the original Klon pedal. Featuring vintage-specification germanium diodes and a versatile design, this pedal offers a range of tones from a clean boost to a full, creamy overdrive. The Germanium Tumnus is praised for its ability to enhance any guitar's sound, offering a smooth overdrive boost when stacked with other pedals. Its three controls for Volume, Gain, and Treble allow for precise tone shaping, making it an ideal addition to any guitarist's pedalboard.
What Wampler Pedals say about the Germanium Tumnus
Introducing the Limited Edition Wampler Germanium Tumnus Deluxe. It's a Tumnus, it’s a deluxe, and it's loaded with the same style of hyper-rare germanium diodes as the elusive Klon Centaur and the sold-out Germanium Tumnus. This is my shot at the ultimate Klon-style overdrive.
You all sure love the Germanium Tumnus! It was almost sold out before it even shipped. Never fear if you missed your chance to get one, though. The Ltd. Germanium Tumnus Deluxe is the quintessential blend of that same authentic tone and added versatility. With a 3-band EQ, buffer bypass switch, controls for level and gain, and a hot switch for increased gain, you can think of it as an upgraded Germanium Tumnus, an even more versatile Klon, or a killer overdrive/boost pedal in its own right. However you see it—or use it—you'll love it. I only had so many of these "magic" diodes, so, like the first Germanium Tumnus, production is extremely limited. Assuming you haven't bought them up already, you'll want to act fast. When they're gone, they're gone.
Limited Edition, You Know the Drill! I only have a limited supply of those vintage diodes, so this pedal won't be around long. If you're curious, move quick. You won't regret it.
