Wampler Pantheon British Blues Distortion Guitar Pedal

The legendary Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit lives on through the Wampler Pantheon Overdrive Pedal, bringing decades of revered British tone into the modern era. This classically inspired drive pedal captures all the unmistakably British breakup and tonal nuance found in the most sought-after transparent overdrive circuits, while adding fresh features and contemporary functionality that only Wampler can provide.

What makes the original BluesBreaker circuit so legendary is its ability to introduce harmonics and grit into your existing tone without altering its natural sound or drowning your playing touch in unnecessary compression. The Pantheon takes faithful inspiration from this time-tested design while keeping the sound entirely yours, giving you enough tonal tweaking options to enhance your rig without muddying things up.

The pedal features a Baxandall-style active bass control that sits neutral at noon but offers an extremely powerful sweep across its range. Beyond the standard tone control, you’ll find a presence control for adding just the right amount of top-end chime to suit different guitars and output devices, whether you’re playing live, in the studio, or as part of a larger pedal chain.

Wampler has added easily accessible gain control options that transport you through the decades at the flick of a switch. The 3-way Gain Level switch toggles between the most useful drive degrees, while the 3-position Overdrive Voice switch selects between hard and soft clipping or a mix of both – giving you every shade of dirt from sweet and creamy push to cranked British grind.
