Wampler Tumnus Overdrive Guitar Pedal

The most legendary overdrive circuit in guitar history has finally been faithfully recreated in a compact, affordable package with the Wampler Tumnus. This pedal captures the mythical tone of that big, expensive four-legged beast that has dominated pedalboards and wish lists for decades, but does so without the outrageous price tag or massive footprint that made the original so exclusive.

Built with meticulous attention to detail in the U.S.A, the Tumnus offers remarkable versatility across any musical style or setup. Use it as a standalone overdrive, stack it with other pedals to shape your gain structure, or employ it as a slightly dirty boost to push your amplifier into natural saturation. The pedal even functions as a high-quality buffer, staying true to the original’s non-true-bypass design that has become legendary in its own right.

Three streamlined controls – Volume, Gain, and Tone – provide quick and intuitive tone shaping for any performance situation. Wampler’s approach focused on extensive research and careful component selection rather than mystical claims about vintage parts, resulting in an authentic recreation of that coveted sound. At just 1.5″ x 3.5″ x 1.5″, this slender pedal slips easily into tight pedalboard spaces while drawing only 20mA of power from a standard 9v DC supply.
