Wampler Pedals – 2016 new models and the whole v2 thing.

Jan 3, 2017 | Talking about gear | 1 comment

As you all know, we had a little bit of a spring clean towards the latter end of last year that meant the entire line/range had a facelift! It was exciting times that if we are honest, was culmination of many many months of work that saw everything change. It was quite a massive undertaking doing it all at once to be fair! All of our pedals now have top jacks and relay based soft switching (with the exception of the minis due to space constraints, having said that, the stomp on the newer Tumnus is slightly better than the older one). Each had a new paint job, new logo, refreshed under graphics, clearer labelling, better in-box manual, new box, new bag and even a Wampler branded battery!! 

This does not mean they are all now v2.

With the exception of The Faux Tape Echo and Pinnacle Deluxe, all the circuits remained the same. 

Many of our dealers have been advertised the older pedals as v1 and the newer as v2 purely to separate the two and allow a slight discount on the older models to move them on in favour of the newer ones. 

For example:

So, in a nutshell here is the official word. The ONLY pedals that are v2 are the Faux Tape Echo and Pinnacle Deluxe, everything else has just been brought into line with the pedals that have been released over the last couple of year.

So, unless it has v2 on it – the circuit is the same, it is not a v2 in any way and tonally; it’s effectively the same as the previous models.

I hope that clears up any confusion!!

    I see Tumnus deluxe variations on Reverb like;
    – ‘gold’
    – 2010
    – 2020

    What is the difference, if there is any?

    Thanks

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...
