Wampler Collective Series - Phenom Distortion

Brian Wampler has been gifted with some of the very best ears in the business for overdrives and distortion, with his designs being No.1 (or very close to it) very frequently on a massive demographic of YouTube shoot outs. over the past couple of years, a trend of "Cheaper" designs hitting the market by other companies has made exploring different types pedals for beginners a breeze. So with Wampler coming in at the same price point, as well as being built along side the standard Wampler Pedals; It's hard to see where you could go wrong with one of these!

The Phenom takes your classic chewy and aggressive distortion and adds a 3 band EQ for added versatility to a rig of any flavour. The Tone switch in the middle of the pedal is the mushroom gravy on top of your medium rare steak, adapting the harmonics and feel to whatever guitar you choose to play. The Gain range can take you from a crunchy overdrive to thick sustaining lead tones and anywhere in between. Another extra cool feature is being able to run this pedal at 18v for an even chewier texture and added output.

Wampler’s Collective Series pedals are packed with features for players of all levels. Designed for affordability without compromising on the qualities that epitomize Wampler, every Collective Series pedal allows you to easily dial in rich, fat tones ideal for beginners and professional alike.
