Wampler Tumnus User manual

I’m guessing you’ve seen the prices of some of the vintage
effect pedals on eBay these days? Certain pedals are literally
going to several thousand dollars - why? Well, because they
sound AMAZING and they have a myth, a legend attached to
them - helped all the more by a healthy amount of PCB goop
and the fact they aren’t made any more...

There have been many clone of the most popular, many that
claim to bring you the original parts used in the original way,
recreating something based on it’s outer paint colour. Here’s
the thing, we ALL know that each of these pedals were differ­ent, it had nothing to do with the paint, it had everything to
do with what the designer felt worked best at that moment in
time.

We decided that enough was enough, we got frustrated with
people charging hundreds of dollars for a copy that claimed
to contain the magic fairy unicorn dust NOS parts, and decid­ed it was time to put this to rest!

Brian took several of the original and designed the Tumnus to
sound like the best bits of all of them, make the ultimate
tribute to that circuit - and make it with modern high quality
parts so each sounds as amazing as the last!

Whether you want to use this pedal as an OD or a boost, you
can be sure that all of the low end is present, and beautifully
warm, the mid hump is placed perfectly and the gain itself is
to on point you will finally understand what all the hype has
been all about...

In order to get the best out of your new pedal, we recommend you spend some
time getting to know the controls as well as understand how they all work together.
This kind of circuit is the most responsive around, and you can get so many tones
from it... it’s really worth spending lots of time playing with it and see what it does.
Try it as a boost with the gain down or as a OD pedal with the gain up, it just makes
everything sound better!

Bypass - a hardwearing mechanical high quality buffered stomp switch that doesn’t
color your tone when bypassed.

Gain - Quite self explainitory! This adds grit and dirt to the effected signal. Start
with it all the way off (counter clockwise) and up the volume from unity and you
have an amazing boost, it will fatten up your tone remarkably... When you bring the

gain control up the glorious thickness this pedal is famous for appears - as a stand
alone boost, overdrive or pre gain boost, this is the key to finding you tone.

Volume - You guessed it, this is where the level comes from. You will probably want
to start at an equal volume to it bypassed, unity. You’ll probably be surprised that
this is much lower than other OD pedals, this is because one of the features of this
pedal is the headroom in it to act as a pre gain boost.

Treble - Adds top end to the signal. Once again, this is extremely usefull if you use
the pedal as a pre gain boost or overdrive as it’s the top end that makes your tone
cut through the mix!
