Wampler Phenom Distortion Pedal Wampler’s Collective Series pedals are packed with features for players of all levels. Designed for affordability without compromising on the qualities that epitomize Wampler, every Collective Series pedal allows you to easily dial in rich, fat tones ideal for beginners and professionals alike. Welcome to the Collective. The Phenom Distortion is a dynamic distortion pedal which uses JFET based clipping instead of Op-amp and Diode based clipping and is loosely based on the legendary “5150” style tones. The fets are driven much in the same way that tubes can be cranked to overdrive an Amplifier into a distorted sound courtesy of a unique Brian Wampler circuit design. The Phenom offers a range of tones from a deep, punchy rhythm sound to an ultra-responsive lead tone perfect for soaring solos and crisp harmonics. It has a flexible voicing switch that selects either bright or classic modes, independent gain and volume controls, and a powerful 3-band EQ. Two distinct tonal voices The Phenom’s split personality is unlocked with the flip of a 2-way switch, taking you between Classic mode and Bright mode for incredible tonal flexibility. Classic mode: If you’re after silky-smooth breakup with a focused bottom end, Classic mode will be your setting of choice. This mode is particularly sensitive to pickup choices, producing a clear and dynamic saturation when played through a clean amp with single coils, while humbuckers unlock a high-octane saturation that screams when pushed through an amp on the edge of breakup. Bright mode: As the name suggest, bright mode kicks up the highs and sounds clear, glassy, and articulate. This mode is perfect for cutting through a mix, allowing even the most complex of lines to shine and shimmer with clarity. Wampler Collective series The boutique revolution has been a godsend to the world’s tone chasers, providing guitarists with more sonic options than at any other point in the guitar’s history. However, assembling a dream board packed full of boutique creations can quickly topple a budget, especially if you’re after the best the stompbox world has to offer. Wampler’s Collective series aims to change that, built to provide guitarists with top-of-the-line tones, all at a significantly lower cost than your typical boutique box. While the visuals and aesthetics are trimmed down, each pedal in the Collective series features the same premium components and uncompromising dedication to tone for which guitarists have come to rely on.
