    My wife of 36 years beat breast cancer 8 years ago. I'd buy this pedal for that reason. And to go with my 7 Wampler pedals.

    65 pedals minus the one I just bought. I didn't even finish watching the video before I hit 'pay'. I don't need anymore pedals, but what a great excuse. I can feel the heart that you guys put into this. Brian, you struck again!

    Haven’t seen you fail ever to make a killer pedal and you’ve continued with this one. Really great tone… And I would love for everyone facing that cancer to come out on top.

    Just got mine in the mail today. I'm a fan of the Blues Driver sound and this pedal certainly does not disappoint. It definitely goes places no other Blues Driver inspired pedal seems to go... at least in my experience. Thanks Electric Love, Brian and team for making this pedal happen!

    I saw a link to an article about the pedal this morning, then saw Marty Schwartz had done a video on it so I made a mental note to check it out after work. Twelve hours later I'm happy to learn that not only is it sold out but Electric Love is taking preorders for the next batch! Happy to wait a few months for a great pedal to support a worthwhile cause.

    Ah! This is amazing Brian, I love the idea. Really dig that extra mode you added to it, and personally have always found asymmetrical clipping (i think its the clipping, and jfets usually) to give me the closest thing feel wise for an amp.

    • @wampler_pedals
      @wampler_pedals  Год назад +1

      No, blues driver is cascaded “discrete” op amps, with a little diode clipping. The pinnacle is cascaded mu-amps, which use jfets. Our plexidrive is cascaded jfets, as is our phenom pedal, but they both sound completely different from each other. It’s important to note that the circuit type alone doesn’t determine how it’s going to sound necessarily, it’s part of the equation

      ​@@wampler_pedals Good day sir, Question, with the Surface mounted components of todays Regular Boss Bluesdriver and its tiny PCB, does it still use Cascading “discrete” Transistors, or does it now use a Chip to simulate the Cascading “discrete” Transistors ?

    • @wampler_pedals
      @wampler_pedals  11 месяцев назад

      On the smd bd-2 it’s still the same circuit, just different size parts. On the waza it’s still a discrete op amp but a lower noise and more efficient version of it.

      Just make the capacitor tied to the tone control larger, or increase the low pass filtering after clipping, that will fix it.

    I'd like to see a pedal with distortion a lot quieter than a fuzz - like a range of waves breaking to a vinyl record distortion - like a quieter whooshing fuzz that has a surge in the center - similar to breaking waves.or putting your ear up to a conch. Call it something like the "White Cap - Foam or Wake" or "Conch LP" or "Wave Breaker". So, thinner fuzz, but organized and sentimental - like listening to a vinyl record I'll give or challenge that idea to Mr. Wampler - as long as he never claimed any connection to me or tried to claim any of my ideas. He seems cool.
    I dont know who the Ben guy is or DigitalLove.
    Ive seen some of Wampler's videos before. The Blues Driver 2 video was prompted to me recetly.
