Tumnus Deluxe
The Wampler Tumnus Deluxe is a versatile overdrive pedal inspired by the legendary Klon, offering exceptional clarity and tonal flexibility. It features active bass and mid controls, a treble control, and a side-mounted switch for buffered or true bypass operation. Guitarists can use it as a clean boost, a standalone overdrive, or an "always on" tonal sweetener, sculpting their sound with its wide-ranging controls. The pedal delivers amp-like breakup and string-to-string clarity, with a 3-band EQ for enhanced tone. It also features a "hot" switch that adds a unique tonal color. The Tumnus Deluxe is praised for its ability to stack with other pedals and works well in different configurations, from apartment setups to live performances.
What Wampler Pedals say about the Tumnus Deluxe
With the Tumnus Deluxe, Brian 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. Brian 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 regular 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. 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. 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 knows 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.
