The Tumnus Overdrive from Wampler Pedals

One overdrive circuit, right up 'til the present time has been the most discussed, the most looked for after, and the most legendary. It's enormous, it's costly, and it has absolutely earned its place at the table. Wampler has carefully and dependably replicated that supernatural tone in all its grandness in an incredibly little bundle, and his name is Tumnus.

Tumnus is a flexible expansion to any setup, any style. Stack it with another pedal to help push or shape the aggregate sum of addition, utilization it as a stand alone overdrive, or utilize it as a dirty boost to push the front end of your amp over the edge. It's also not true bypass. Rather, unwavering to the first, this pedal contains a buffered bypass tone fabulous in its own privilege.

Simplicity in the controls as well: The Tumnus' streamlined 3 control controls (Volume, Gain, and Tone) permit you to rapidly dial in your tones regardless of what the gig calls for.

Now you can have the tone. Now you can have history. Now you can have it all without having to take out a loan.

I would personally like to thank myself for owning one of these.

I really love gear companies with presidents that play (and sometimes play well). There is a much better connection to what we as players want and need without sacrificing quality.
I see videos of Brian Wampler demoing his pedals, Paul Reed Smith going through his pickup configurations, and in the same vein, Randell Smith (Mesa/Boogie) turning dials while John Petrucci plays through his amps fills me with a deep respect for these companies. It is an absolute fact that a Wampler pedal is in my future.

Best "klone" on the market, with the smallest footprint, and at a reasonable price. Simply a must have. It will add life to any rig. I'll never look back. Thanks Brian!! You really are a dirt circuit monster!!

DAMN YOU BOUTIQUE PEDAL BUILDERS!!!! I CAN'T SAVE MONEY LIKE THIS, STOP THIS TORTURE!

WHEN IS YOUR SMOOTH JAZZ ALBUM COMING OUT

[elpastor]

it’s great to see a CEO demo his own products. you are very grounded and humble, bryan! i own one tumnus and it’s a great od and boost pedal!

[paulnew]

PLEASE GIVE US A DOUBLE TUMNUS! No silly extras, just 2 of these on seperate circuits so we can stack'em of play then singularly.
Much love x

After years of having the Soulfood on my pedalboard (and never really liking it with gain past 10 o clock), I treated myself to an upgrade and got the Tumnus 2 days ago. I've had to stop playing to give my hands a break. Absolutely love it. just sounds great in every setting and also send my RAT into another stratosphere. Thanks 👍

Andertons Music Co just did a blindfolded Klon vs clones (I prefer "emulators") review. Tumnus came out on top over the Klon which was in 2nd place the other day. Just went and purchased my own Tumnus locally. Love it. Gives my tone some cojones.

Once again, you've hit the target with this amazing pedal, so Tumnus will be for sure my 8th or 9th's Wampler pedal on my board, i've stopped counting your wonderful contribution to my incredible tones, thank you Brian and everyone at Wampler, greetings from Belgium ;-)

[JeffPelletierBabaJonan]

I love the reference to "the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". Maybe put an Asland boost next to it...?

[aliasdandavisofficial]

Sounds awesome. But you've already heard that a few times by now. How huge this sounds in comparison to the footprint is hilarious (not to mention how ridiculously huge the horsey man pedal looks next to this). Very few clones of Mr. F's legendary pedal seem to make many improvements other than price point. You seem to have cracked that nut. ( #betterordifferent ) Dig the Narnia reference. Looking forward to Professional Music Center (Clive, IA - the place around here that carries your stuff) to have one in stock. Way to go!

Got the Tumnus Wednesday Immediately starting using it on gigs. Mostly as a semi clean boost. Simply gorgeous!Thank you Brian

[JamesRussoMillas]

Love the video Brian, and I love how compact it is. Like TC mini style. If I were to ever pick up a Klon type pedal, I think I would grab this over the Archer.

[RandyRugarMusic]

That's probably the best sounding pedal I have ever heard absolutely perfect. 🎸🤘

[pwman]

I think I'm gonna need a bigger board ;-)

[darrelbigdaddywhite]

Great sounding pedal Brian, I will have to try to get one past the wife.

[dnipllr]

Noob alert: Would this be good for an ss amp such as roland jc? I'm looking for very suttle to mid gain. Any other suggestion? Thanks !

[stephengaren]

Bought mine from Sweetwater. It is on it's way, an hour away, in transit. Should be here shortly. The engineer suggested this as a perfect addition to the sound I'm going for.
Excited to try this one out!!!

[aandachtenklank]

Great review of a great product! it's on top of my (small) wishlist, and will be my first Whampler pedal ;-)
