Wampler pedals and 25th - Best lead sound ever!!!!

[agt]

I had never heard of Wampler pedals prior to this thread. As a direct result of reading what you folks have had to say, I viewed several YouTube videos and became really intrigued over the past few days. I went to Guitar Center today and picked up a Sovereign pedal. I have been playing my Luke through it and then into a Fender Supersonic 22 (clean vintage/fat channel) for the past several hours ... absolutely amazing. All the gain I could ever want, fat, clear, articulate, very fast response to the attack of my picking, and extremely touch sensitive. Thanks threeminutesboy!

you are very welcome

As for sound sample as requested I will try to do something but really too busy with other things (rehearsal, gigs and of course work with a lot of travel that leave me no spare time to record properly)

there is one good video for the slostortion that convinced me

WAMPLER SLO-STORTION DEMO - YouTube

and this one for the more lead tone is was looking for

So how is it Gio?

I played the plextortion for a few hours tonight and it did sound really good with my Y2D. The pedal had a really nice thick tone to it with a lot of sustain had a great marshall tone and not fuzzy to me. Also I bought a SLO stortion too and for me so far Im not really liking it. I am going to try it on another amp tomorrow but it just isnt a pedal i like so far. i cant explain why but the pedal is lacking something for my tastes.
Since I have switched my volume pot on the morse to a 500k it makes the neck pickup with the plextortion sound just as good as a les paul.

Gio, thanks for your review.

Gio, or anybody else: I am considering adding the Plextortion and/or the SLOstortion to the Sovereign. I realize that, at least thus far, you tend to prefer the Plextortion over the SLOstortion, but is it safe to assume that they have very different sounds? From the reviews and Youtube videos, I am seeing, I gather that the SLOstortion is thicker and fuller (than the Plexrtortion), maybe even darker. Is that a correct assessment? That is what I am hoping. If I buy both, I just want to make sure I am not duplicating what the other can do nor what the Sovereign does.

Intended use would be a Luke primarily, but a JP6 BFR, Axis SS, 25th, Morse, etc. all occasionally get used.

To me the plextortion was thicker the slo sounded like it had a shrill high end to it that I couldn't get out I matter how I eq it.
If you like a nice thick sound similiar to Marshall the plextortion is great t did the brown sound really well.

Since last year, I added a Plextrotion, Paisley Drive, and Ego Compressor. All are incredible. I can confirm that the Plextrortion can be dialed in thick and fat for great lead tones yet the bottom end does not get mushy or muddy. The Paisley Drive is less power-amp like, but the best "pedal" sound I have experienced.

The Ego Comp, however, is out of this world. Those of you into fat yet sparkly clean tones and/or chicken pickin' with your ALs, Silos, or Lukes -- you should try one. Sounds great with humbuckers too. If I could have only one pedal, the Ego would be the one. Pure tone in a box.

awesome thanks for sharing that, I need to check the ego Compressor

Big fan of the Paisley Drive. Three-position mid switch makes it very versatile, from creamy to Voxy overdrives.

I couldn't agree anymore... my brother in law bought me a Wampler Paisley Drive for Christmas this past year... It does creamy to voxy very well... My typical OD stack is a Pedal Monsters Klon Klone and my Wampler Paisley with my SSS Silo Special into my Dr. Z and it's Delicious... NOM... NOM...NOM... just eats the tone right up...

I love the Wampler faux analog delay. Very warm and organic. Also you should check out Earthquake Devices. Killer pedals also!!!!!

Your 25th sounded great in that Egnater the other night......I should have tried out that new pedal too...The Phase 90 sounded great also....Let's jam again....
