Understanding the Potential of Virtual Cabs When it comes to guitar amplification, speaker cabinets play an underrated role in defining the sound of the overall rig. Traditionally, guitarists relied on physical speaker cabinets to amplify their guitar signals, often...
In case it escaped your attention, we released Brian’s take on the infamous rodentine 80’s distortion circuit last month - a pedal that has been requested numerous hundreds of times. I’m happy to say it's been a big success so far, we almost couldn't shovel the coal...
Last month we finally released the Plexi Drive Mini pedal, a pedal that has travelled an interesting path to get to its destination, and one we are all very fond of at Wampler. The idea of simply making mini versions of our own pedals is not something that Brian likes...

How does a Flanger Pedal work? We break it down and recreate it in logic so you can see how all the parts come together to make this legendary effect!
How does a Chorus pedal actually work? Do you know? We break it down and build one in logic showing how all the parts come together!

Unlike a lot of other blogs and video producers, I’ve waited until the end of the year/decade to nominate my gear of the year – how it can be done in Q3 before all the big “Black Friday” releases are out I’ll never know, but you know, clickbait and SEO is king!!! This...
