This is in mint condition. I spent 4 hours trying buy this online when Wampler offered the last of the original Klon germanium chips in Wamplers Tumulus pedal. There were so many people trying to get the last hundred of these pedals that the Wampler site crashed all day long. I was crazed enough to slog through and luckily snag one of these amazing pedals. Now I must sell it. (Have you looked at your insurance premiums for 2026 yet? Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!)

The Wampler Tumnus Deluxe Germanium is a highly-regarded, limited-run Klon-style overdrive known for its transparent boost and warm overdrive, offering more grit, texture, and aggressive mid-range character than the standard silicon Tumnus due to its germanium diodes, making it excellent for articulate, amp-like breakup but requiring more volume for unity gain. Reviews highlight its fantastic tone shaping with Bass, Mids, and Treble controls, strong dynamics, and effectiveness as a clean boost or standalone drive.

• Transparent Overdrive: Maintains your guitar's core tone while adding warmth and grit, similar to a Klon but with more control.
• Germanium Difference: Uses germanium diodes for a slightly more compressed, rougher, and grainier texture compared to the smoother silicon standard.
• Versatile EQ: Active Bass, Mids, and Treble controls offer significant tonal sculpting, unlike the simpler Klon circuit.
• Normal/Hot Switch: Adds more gain and aggression in the "Hot" mode.
• Buffer Options: Features a switchable buffer for transparent clean boosting. 

What Reviewers Say

• Excellent Tone: Praised for its articulate, fat, and musical overdrive that doesn't get muddy, perfect for classic rock and blues.
• More Aggressive: The Germanium version offers a rougher, edgier sound, while the standard is smoother.
• Utility: Works great pushing an already slightly-overdriven amp or as a standalone drive.
• Limited Availability: As a limited run using rare diodes, it's harder to find and more expensive. 

Who It's For

• Guitarists seeking a Klon-style pedal with enhanced tonal flexibility.
• Players wanting a warmer, more aggressive overdrive than the standard Tumnus.
• Those who value high-quality, boutique pedals with classic circuits.
