- Easily accessible true bypass performance for uncolored tonal purity at the flip of the side-mounted switch
- A classic treble control like the original perfects the pedals higher frequencies

- Use it to boost a driven amp or another pedal, as a stand-alone overdrive, or as an "always on" tonal sweetener
Description
With the first iteration of the Tumnus, Wampler perfected their take on the sound of THE mythical overdrive. With the release of the Tumnus Deluxe, Brian has set the new standard. Thanks in large part to the design’s articulate- sounding buffer, all of the clarity, punch, and detailed breakup of the original Tumnus are still there. But if you prefer the sound of true bypass performance, just hit the switch on the side of the pedal for uncolored tonal purity.

The Wampler Tumnus Deluxe works very well as a boost to bring up the volume for solos or to push the preamp of an overdriven amp. Gain can be dialed in to add harmonic richness to an overdriven amp, or as the overdrive sound for a clean amp, or going into an audio interface for recording. The three band EQ of bass, middle, treble gives a lot of flexibility and control for getting either a scooped tone or a mid-range forward sound. I use Marshall, Fender, and Blackstar amps, so the EQ lets me adjust to the characteristics of each amplifier. The Hot switch and the True Bypass / Buffered Bypass are subtle but nice extra features. This is an overdrive, not a distortion pedal, so going into a clean amp or plugin is not going to give a heavy distortion sound. The gain does provide a lot of overdrive breakup, and it has a really good sound ... it maintains the articulation of individual notes and the dynamics from the guitar, and doesn't get fizzy or muddy.

I have a UA Apollo with lots of plugins. I also have artist amps with several pedal options. This fit well for both use cases providing the Klon sound that had a buffer option and override. It's great for my purpose. I powered it with a Ciosk DC7. It's built well.

Hi all! Eric the soloist here. Love the Tumnus Deluxe from Wampler after a year of ownership. First, the pedal is super versatile. You can use it as a boost for cleans and/or distortion. They call it a transparent pedal and I agree. You can layer it over what you’ve got to fine tune any sound without totally blowing out the character and EQ of your sound. Often I play through a small tube amp on a clean-ish setting and use the Tumnus as my primary gain stage. This works sweet for blues but can heat up for rock as well. The “hot” setting is next-level. Often I try to emulate Joe Satriani and the hot brings out more sustain, harmonics and overtones. All the while it stays composed and articulate. For anyone trying to find the perfect distortion/overdrive sound and is layering pedals already, this pedal is a must-have. I like to layer with a Wampler Plextortion (pushed through a 1 watt tube amp) but often play around mixing it with my Boss metal zone or a fuzz. The one pedal that never changes… the Tumnus. It just makes me smile. 5 stars! Eric

TLDR - Great sounding pedal but had to completely disassemble it to clean the gain pot after moderate use. I have had this pedal for a year and a half and I can say I love the sounds this thing is capable of. I use it with the gain between 3 and 5 o'clock and the hot switch on. Stacking it into other overdrive pedals has been fun. I recently picked up the Wampler Plexi-drive which I've settled into using as an on the edge of breakup amp in a box that I push into glorious overdrive with the Tumnus Deluxe. Alone both pedals sound good but together they sound amazing. Think: complex rich harmonic overdrive. This pedal is versatile, you can use it like I've described or as a clean boost or like a tube screamer (gain low, volume high). It sounds better to my ear than a tube screamer when used like this but tastes vary. It sounds great, its warm but articulate. However I did run into an issue when going from using it as a dirt pedal to a boost pedal. The culprit was a dirty gain pot. When I turned down the gain, I heard a loud hissing noise that overpowered any guitar signal that managed to get through. I thought the pedal was ruined so I emailed the guys at Wampler to see if I could get it fixed. Jerry suggested that I use a deox cleaner on the pots. I was skeptical since I've heard dirty pots on a guitar and this was a constant loud hissing noise, unlike the temporary scratchy sound you get when turning the knobs on a guitar. I figured I might as well try it, so I dedicated a Saturday afternoon to take the time to disassemble it and spray the pots. Holy crap it worked! So aside from the somewhat tedious disassembly of the pedal to spray the dirty pot, I love this pedal. Its a little spendy but it does have a premium feeling footswitch, the construction and looks feel quality and the sound is great. The only reason I would (and probably will) buy another dirt pedal is because of GAS (gear acquisition syndrome). With all that said and assuming I had the power, this would be a deserted island pedal for me. Its great!

This is easily the best Distortion/OD pedal I’ve ever used. The sound is incredible, and the ability to EQ the low, mid, and high frequencies makes it so much better. The hot switch in the middle of the pedal is also great if you want a bit more of a volume boost. The buffer switch on the side is great if you need to get rid of any unwanted whining or troublesome frequencies. And the volume and gain controls can change your guitar’s tone to fit whatever punchy sound you need. I’m using the pedal on my Nashville Fender Telecaster, and playing through a Vox AC30 combo amp. I write a lot of songs that have clean verses and distorted/overdriven/punchy choruses, so this pedal is a great fit for me. The way that the pedal manipulates the clean Tele tone is unparalleled in my opinion. Also, unlike a lot of pedals I’ve used, the Tumnus Deluxe has a very easy-to-press active/bypass switch. Overall, I highly recommend this pedal to anyone that is looking for a good OD/Distortion pedal. It’s way better than anything Boss could make.

I’ve read the bad reviews and the good. This 160 dollar Pedal fed by a Gibson SG I to a Marshall JCM 100 watt head sounded amazing. The picking dynamics of my SG shined through. The aggressive strums brought the amp to life. The pedal will work from the smoothest of EQ’d cleans to the dirtiest of grunge rock. No, the pedal does not chug, sorry Ola, it just doesn’t. However if you want to go from little wing to Tush to running with the devil, this pedal has you covered.

Having gotten back into guitar over the last several years, and inevitably diving into the trap of "I must find the ultimate tone", I have purchased quite a few overdrive/distortion pedals since my "re-inception" into this world. I'm SURE I will buy more ultimately, but this is by far one of the best sounding overdrive pedals I have ever heard or purchased... Being modeled after the supposed ultimate "transparent overdrive" that will run you upwards of several thousand dollars nowadays when you can find one on the used market, Wampler has created a pedal that FAR surpasses the pedal that the Tumnus Deluxe was based on. A revamped version of their original "Tumnus", he has added a very well designed tone stack to let you shape your tone, as well as an awesome sounding buffer that you can engage to let you run the pedal in buffered mode instead of true bypass. Even when I am not running the pedal, I typically leave the pedal in buffered mode simply because the buffer makes my guitar's tone just sound "better" (and I don't run long enough cables to really effect the highs being rolled off because of cable resistance).. "Better" is just the only way I can describe it.. Wampler hit this one OUT OF THE PARK and created an overdrive that greatly exceeds the original "transparent overdrive" circuit. If you are after that type of sound (or even some pretty heavy dirt tone), this pedal doesn't disappoint.. By FAR my favorite overdrive pedal to date..

I love this pedal. I was going to write an article-length review, but it's the best "clone" of that mythologically-themed man-beast pedal from the 90s. Three-band EQ, higher-gain setting waiting with the switch of a toggle. Brian Wampler went there. We were all thinking it. We all knew it needed to happen, so he went and did it. Thank you, Mr Wampler. Just when I was getting tone fatigue out of my pedalboard, I got the Tumnus Deluxe and I suddenly fell in love with my guitar and amp again. I remembered that I actually like the sound of my guitar, pickups, amp, etc. I plug in, stomp on the Tumnus and hear this . . . well, the image that always comes to mind is that clarity of a pre-dawn morning where everything is covered in dew and the air has such a sweet purity that every breath you take is deep and mindful. It's such a fresh sound, without preservatives, weed killers or insecticides. I never realized just how much my other pedals were affecting the color of my sound, or that I could get so much variation just from using the tone and volume knobs on my guitar. I can throw on reverb and delay and it still sounds great drenched and trailing. If I could change anything about it, I'd love an extra footswitch for normal/high gain, or at least for a boost. The only real complaint I have is that it now I have to upgrade my other pedals because they all seem lacking.
