Elevate your guitar tone with the Wampler Tumnus Deluxe, a refined evolution of the legendary Tumnus overdrive pedal. Designed by Brian Wampler, this pedal delivers rich amp-like breakup, superb string-to-string clarity and high headroom output. Its enhanced tonal flexibility and bypass settings provide guitarists with unmatched control for any rig and playing style.

Main Features

• Active bass and mid controls to boost or cut frequencies, allowing precise tonal sculpting
• Classic treble control optimises the pedal’s bright frequencies, inspired by the original model
• Switchable Normal / Hot gain options—from smooth overdrive to higher gain tones
• Choice between buffered or true bypass via a side-mounted switch, preserving either signal clarity or purity
• Top-mounted jacks for easy, convenient connectivity

The Tumnus Deluxe is equally effective as a stand-alone overdrive, a boost, or an always-on tonal enhancer. Its articulate buffer enhances your sound even when the pedal is switched off, yet the true bypass option offers uncoloured tone for purists.

Frequently Asked Questions ➤ What is the difference between buffered and true bypass on the Tumnus Deluxe?
Buffered mode enhances signal clarity and helps maintain tone over long cable runs. True bypass provides an uncoloured, direct signal path when the pedal is off, preferred by players seeking absolute tonal purity. Switching between the two is quick via the side toggle.

Yes, the Tumnus Deluxe excels in both roles. Its versatile EQ and gain controls allow you to shape your tone as a full overdrive or a boost pedal to complement other effects or amplifiers.

The active bass, mid, and treble controls let you boost or cut specific frequency ranges, giving you precise control over warmth, midrange presence, and brightness, so you can tailor your sound to your rig and playing style.
