Wampler Euphoria Natural Transparent Overdrive

Dial in the exact overdrive you need with the Wampler Euphoria pedal's three highly detailed voice modes -- smooth, open and crunch.

Welcome to Euphoria! Find Your Sound with 3 Overdrive Voicings
The Wampler Euphoria Natural Transparent Overdrive pedal impressively captures the natural and warm breakup that's more akin to amplifier distortion than most overdrive/distortion pedals. This compact companion provides a wide range of distorted tones, from crisp and clear light distortion, to a full and heavy breakup that oozes from your amp's speakers. Tone, volume, bass, and gain controls let you dial in the sonic character you want, and a voicing switch -- featuring smooth, open, and crunch settings -- gives you even more sonic playing room to utilize for your performance. Although this pedal is popular for blues players, its wide dynamic tonal reach makes it an awesome tool for many different styles and genres.

Handmade with Love
This baby was hand-built with choice film capacitors and resistors that allow for a natural breakup and warm output. The circuit found in the Wampler Euphoria was originally designed by Brian Wampler to respond to the physical dynamics of your performance. Wampler's circuit mimics that infamous "Dumble" amp tone -- smooth and consistently creamy when tame yet surprisingly distorted when pushed. A true bypass configuration keeps your signal unaltered when your Wampler Euphoria is disengaged.

Controlling Your Distortion
This little baddie features tone, volume, bass, and gain controls to fine-tune your sound. The bass control, which is configured as a pre-clipping control, brings in the lower frequencies, and your tone control dials in the brightness or darkness you want. Your volume control determines how loud your output is, and your gain control fuels your tone with the desired amount of distortion. Just a small tweak of the gain control will show you how dynamic this pedal is -- you can go from a crispy and light distortion to a wall of overdrive in seconds.

The Voicing Switch
Right between your Wampler Euphoria's tone and bass control dials is a three-setting voicing switch. This feature gives you further tonal options to explore at a simple flip of a switch. The Open setting is sort of like the default setting for this baby -- a nice open and somewhat loose character colors your signal. The Smooth setting gives you a slightly tighter and compressed sound, which works well for bluesy licks. When you flip this switch to the Crunch setting, along with compression, you also get a fuzz-like distortion with a hefty amount of bass.

More Control From Your Axe
This pedal cleans up exceptionally well when you bring your guitar's volume down. It's also very sensitive to your picking and strumming style. This allows you more freedom and control just by emphasizing the dynamics of your performance through your axe, resulting in an impressive range of different tones without ever having to step up to your Wampler Euphoria overdrive pedal again once it's engaged. If you leave this baby in the open voice setting and bring your gain down, you can get a nice volume boost with a very slight amount of breakup -- perfect for those times when you want a dB punch without all of the crunch.

Compact and Road-Ready
This baby is compact and tough. You won't be losing much space on your pedalboard if you're the type of guitarist with troves of effects pedals. You can take your Euphoria on the road, assured that it'll hold up to the rough conditions of the regularly gigging musician. Every stomp will give you consistently warm, powerful, and attention-stealing distortion, and even though this pedal is popular with blues musicians, it works well for rock, metal, and many other types of musical styles.
