The Black 65 is the most important pedal on my board, since a decade now! I use it as a relatively clean soundshaper after my drive and boost pedals in front of several British amps (Vox AC15 HW, Orange Rocker 15 Terror, Marshall DSL40). The drive sound I get using a compressor and the Boss GE7 EQ set on midboost in front of it is priceless and beats every single drive pedal I have. It also makes my drive pedals sound better. It took me some time to find out how to use it best, but now I see this video absolutely confirming my discoverys!
Brian, can you please creat “the Pete”. Pete Townsends’ Hiwatt amp with a hint of fuzz. For us rhythm / solo players an essential tool. It’s halfway to Gilmour and on the other side Page.
Brian I am glad you did this videos because sometimes I feel people misunderstood pedals and how to use them. Personally it happened to me with the Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe v2. The 3 band EQ section is extremely powerful . When you did your original video you talked about the EQ but almost at the very end of the video ( Around the Minute 10 from the original Pinnacle Deluxe V2 video) saying that this is not your standard EQ control so do not start with everything at noon 🕛 assuming that neutral is there because it’s not. A really important concept that I wished you mentioned it as soon as you started that video because people need to know it right away. It is a fantastic pedal which many people had issues with the brightness adjustment between the vintage/ modern and how the treble knob works. I would love to see a Wampler video with the full history and evolution of the Pinnacle pedal. Like Josh did with the Morning Glory. Both are great classic guitar drives! 🤟🏻🎸🔥🎵
Would love to see some more of the amp in the box pedals back and revamped (these two are great too) . Plenty of Marshall pedals around but vox in a box and fender in a box isn't that common and the slostortion and triple wreck were awesome.
I have owned a Tweed 57 for several years and took me while to understand everything Brian is saying in the video. Now it's one of my all-time favorites. It's really a TOOL, not just a pedal.
That Bassman, though. It said, "Early-to-mid-Seventies ZZ Top." I heard it. Loud and clear. _Just Got Back from Baby's._ _It Sure Got Cold After the Rain Fell._ Maybe make a pedal that does _that._
I asked for it before, and I'll ask for it again. Please put a second foot switch on the Black 65 for the Boost instead of a mini toggle. I would buy that in a heartbeat.
Good information, Brian. I have the Plexi Drive Deluxe pedal. Do these concepts apply to that as well? What did you have in mind when you designed that pedal? It seems to have way too much base even with the bass boost switch off and the bass pot turned down to 10 o'clock. I am using a clean channel of a Boss Katana Artist and a Marshall DSL40c clean channel. I can make it work with a Boss EQ200 pedal in front and after it. Was it designed with an amp that has much less bass or am I using it wrong? I love your work Brian. Great videos and pedals.
Yes, like the pinnacle deluxe v2, with all knobs at noon it doesn't mean you get perfect neutral guitar sounds. i also put the bass at 10 o clock and treble around 1or 2 o clock. We need to use our ears . it is a powerfull 3 band eq section.
I have 2 Tweed 57 pedals. They turn a Fender black face style amp into something tweed or Marshall like for rock. Always wondered why he discontinued it.
Lol 😂 I was thinking to myself “why a special video on discontinued pedals?” Plus I have a suggestion for anyone with one or more pedals. Once a month, plug your guitar directly into your amp and play with the damned thing (I mean play with the amp). EQ/reverb/channels/whatever. You may find that while pedals X, Y and Z sound cool stacked together, your amp sounds great all by itself. Just a thought….
Thank you for this video & bringing these back! I bought the black 65 when they first came out and use it on my board ever since. It is by far my most used pedal. My main amps are a variety of fenders a tweed blues jr and a tweed blues deluxe both handle the black 65 beautifully i use it as my warm (just a bit of dirt) pedal. I never had to use any other pedal into it for more gain. Just recently i purchased a Roland jc-40 and while i was expecting the same results as my fender amps ironically, the black 65 did not have as much dirt on that pedal. Totally bummed i started my search for a Tweed 57 to see if it would give me the dirt i was looking for (sidenote: while searching for the sound i tried other lighter gain pedals as a possible replacement for my beloved 65 & nothing delivered & i tried just about everything under the sun) finally i found a tweed 65 used and jumped on it. No regrets and it fits perfectly and gives me the sound i wanted. I have to agree the eq section on these wonderful gems is often overlooked as they are a silent secret that is precise and a little goes a long way! I own probably 10 different wampler pedals and the Black 65 & the Tweed 57 are my most used & favorite! Thank you Brian for bringing them back even if it is limited. Great Pedals!
Interesting because that first riff played was recorded with a Gretsch going into a Marshall head for the record. Sounds awesome though with a Tele and Tweed.
WAMPLER, I hope the new versions will have a SAG control, Variac control and Bias controls to get those tube breaking up tones. A Super Reverb pedal to get those SRV tones would be a better pedal.
Have had the Tweed since it was a new item at Wampler. I use it to warm up the front of Quilter and DV Mark solid state amps. Also in the loop of Headrush MX5. Analog sweetens up even the best digital.
I have the Joyo American Sounds which is both of these pedals in one but doesnt sound half as good, but it does get you in the ball park. I would buy a double pedal in a heart beat as I love my Ego and that Wampler quality.
@@mr.d.572 I'd love to have a Wampler version of the AS which is a cheap copy of a Tech21 Blonde pedal from what I have read. Or just a "Fender in a box" pedal that does both Tweed and Blackface.
@@williamd1891 I have not done a lot of investigation on a dual pedal, but after looking today, there is a Volta Black Tweed and Volta Black Tweed Plus that have both amp stylings in one pedal. I have not heard it yet in a demo but I will check it out soon.
@mr.d The Joyo American is ok considering it's $40 and as long as you use it clean or with just the slightest amount of grit. It's not gonna compete with something quality like the Wampler but if all you have is $40 bucks it can be usable as a platform for other pedals. For direct sounds a cab sim is needed even though the Joyo supposedly has one built in, it's pretty slight. The Joyo American or higher quality versions like the Wamplers are improved by running them into the ADA GCS5 which is an analog cab sim pedal / DI.
These are cool pedals Brian However, running my hot wired v2 in to my Strymon iridium on the Round channel - eq set flat, 2x10 IR - is incredibly versatile and sounds great into a DAW
Funny , uncle Larry. Or Tom bukovac. Hates tube screamer. And he loves pedals. . U probably know him but if not. Top session player. That has great great RUclips channel. Has lessons. Ideas. Talk s. Puts his phone on record during studio sessions. Put phone on stage next to his board when he played with Ann from heart. At a gig
it 's because the headroom......But, i don t know what it is! Anyway thanks You!. And thanks to opengpt which (who?) found for me some pedals to replace the american joyo!😅
My problem with this kind of demos is that i associate a tweed amp with 1940s or 50s playing styles, Blues, Rockabilly, Westen Swing and related. Definitely not modern rock powerchords. That Tweed 57 was quite disappointing. Found better ones over the years.
Brian, in my experience, with different pedals, the experience changes drastically between sitting in front of an amp in my basement and if you're playing out live on stage
i used to run a tiny little shop almost ten years ago in and got the chance to try all of your pedals who are available at that time, and i´m not a big "tweaker".the tweed 57 stood out for me the most of, not just your, pedals.it sounded so "natural" and made me wanna play the whole time.that´s what i´m looking for when it comes to gear
As a side hobby, "fun at home" project, I've kept an all analog "modeling" pedalboard. A lot of money, time and effort went into setting it up. It isn't practical but it is a hell of a lot of fun and keeps me always lookin' at new pieces for it. The center stage of this pedalboad contains a Wampler ACE30 and a Wampler Plexi Deluxe. I have changed out the Fender pedal 7 times in the past 5 years trying to find the right one. A Black '65 with top mount jacks? I can't resist having a Wampler trio, I own more Wampler pedals than any other. I ordered one immediately after watching.
If you pull up your videos on RUclips do you detect a noticeable difference in the ability to hear differences in tone samples when compared to your "pre-upload" quality?
The "special" video you get to watch when you purchase one of these, is very informative and enlightening. And I thought I was the one going crazy, until I watched it.
Mark I have the ego and the hot wire pedal. And they both have 9 V alkaline batteries in them I didn’t know this until I was unplugging one when the power source was disconnected and the light flashed. I’m getting ready to put them on my recording pedal board and that’s going to have a power source to it so from my dealings with batteries in the past I’m thinking I need to take those batteries out of the pedals. But if they have some other kind of function I need to stay in there please let me know as I am trying to take care of the pedals and as we all know batteries can go bad and leak and damage electronic products.
I learned so much here... I was surprised.. the opposite of what I thought was going to happen. I ended up LOVING the 57 Tweed into the Effects Return. Never woulda thunk it. You're so right. The analog circuit into tubes just does all of that pushing and cleaning up BETTER than the more impressive models / profiles which shine when you leave them exactly as they are. I prefer to push and bend the sound like you do. Thank you for this video. I'm your target. I misunderstood these pedals and I have a new appreciation and understanding of them now.
Good call bringing these back. I bought a used Tweed 57 a month back and it's currently my favorite pedal. I run it with the gain nearly off. For color and boost it's 10/10
Maybe I have missed it. Does Wampler make cab sim pedal, like an Iridium? If not… WHY? Include elements of the pedals featured in the video. No brained.
I got my Black 65 two days ago. it is AWESOME!! Going on the board and replacing two drive pedals. I've also run my Wampler Belle into it when playing my Telecaster. It's like I have a new amp and guitar. Keep the gain down running into a Blues Deluxe. My PRS absolutely burns, as does my Les Paul. My Strat sounds really good. Brianmight still have a few of these. Check Reverb and get one. This is my 7th Wampler pedal. Actually 8th but I sold the Plexi when I got my Gearbox. Brian is THE MAN when it comes to pedals.
Oooof. Guilty about the Black 65. Was scratching my head why it was a woofy, wooly edge of breakup when I was really looking for a TS type of sound. Sorry for not knowing any better, Brian!
Greetings Brian, I have a Tweed 57,' Black 65' and an Ace Thirty... I use them to Tweed up my Tweeds, to get more sag out of my Blackfaces and get the Brian May sparkle thing out of My Vox Ac4 head... All fantastic... Now, however, I feel like I might not have been getting the most out of them... Typically, I will put an EP boost in front instead of a TS9... that also ends up in low volume breakup all day... I would NEVER sell my Wampler stuff. ❤❤
I m glad. U did this. I played lot of amp s but not a tweed. Not into it. ( not insulting anyone that likes it . I didn’t know til now I wasn’t into it.I like more smooth drive. Dumble. Vibe.
I never quite got the whole "this pedal is like a cranked plexi" or "this pedal is like a cranked bluesbreaker amp". Yeah, but I'm playing it through my Vox (or whatever). It's always going to be "a hat with a hat" situation. I'm not going to get the sound of a plexi or a bluesbreaker. It's like I'm mixing Coke with Fanta. I'm going to get _that_ flavor, not the flavor on either bottle.
Brian. PLEASE Re Release these two, updated with the Cab Emulation(or do a Wampler Cab Emulator!) onboard and for the love of GOD please bring back the Thirtysomething. There are NO Vox pedals on the market that can touch it and I missed my chance to get one back when I got my original 65 and 57 and Plexi! I want to use these the way you explained last(as a Preamp) but the cab emulators are less than stellar and not having that Vox preamp is a nightmare!!
Oooh the 65! If I plug this into a certain brand of amplifier 😅 will I get double the tone? 65 into a 65 😅❤😂 or double the Tweedy Tone into a tweed ??😅
Hi! Good explanation of use. Btw i want to make it by myself but J201 and other are hard to source now, i have some jfets but problem with them is, that with just 2 stages and source bypass cap i have hot rodded marshall gain. Any idea how to tame it?
The Classic and Power Station are my initial preferences for different reasons. There were harmonic changes sometimes that would work better for somethings, but that's the rabbit hole of a guitarist.
I still have my Wampler Analog Echo orange square box with four white knobs on top. On back plate looks like it was signed by Justin Simpson #1119 dated 11-2-2008.
Intrigued, I have the wampler Belle and Ep booster both always on with a love pedal clone as the od in front of my classic 30. Wondering what that 65' would do as a pre amp🤔
Mark, I have a couple of your pedals and just ordered a couple of more today from Sweetwater. I wondered if you have ever thought about making a pedal that would simulate sitar sounds and leslie sounds from the 60's ? Sort of a specialty pedal to have those effects on hand that would be cool for recording and live. And what ever other sounds like that that might be integrated into a pedal like that.
I've had both of the original pedals for about a dozen years. The '57 rarely leaves my board. I probably should get a backup. I love the '65 too, but don't have as much use for it.
a lot of people dont really know what these boutique amps sound like. for example, I have never owned a soldano.. I have got to mess around with some old amps and most are cleaner than I expected.
Thanks. What do you recommend for a clean power supply to run into a guitar cab? Something around 50w. There aren't too many options I see out there and most have pretty steep prices for a small solid state amp.
Two of my favorite pedals and for ever on my pedalboard in front of my Mesa Boogie Lonestar! I've got mine second hand because they would no longer produced by Brians company. They are wonderful and sometimes I use a Nobels OD 1 in front.
The Black 65 is the most important pedal on my board, since a decade now! I use it as a relatively clean soundshaper after my drive and boost pedals in front of several British amps (Vox AC15 HW, Orange Rocker 15 Terror, Marshall DSL40).

I would tend to agree, even with all the other stuff I have. As you say, it's so versatile. I've even used it into my FX Loop

Catalinbread Hyper Pak "Dirty Channel"
If you can find one
I love using the black 65 as my preamp running into a Tech 21 Power Engine 60. The result is absolutely beautiful!
Special Announcement: "The cat wouldn't stop asking about the Univibe, so I'm selling him off!"

I built the Runoffgroove Brittania for Vox in a box and the Azebache for Fender in a box. Both are killer!
Agree. This was. Great. And more of these type amps would be cool.
@@ctsilva45 Sounds cool. Link?
Rockin the lil' Devil! The Cult Electric is the bomb!
So pleasantly surprised when he did that!
I have owned a Tweed 57 for several years and took me while to understand everything Brian is saying in the video. Now it's one of my all-time favorites. It's really a TOOL, not just a pedal.
TOOL is favorite band
Nice video Brian. Thanks for explaining that the EQ shapes the overdrive and is not post gain. You do an excellent job at adding EQ to your pedals.
I prefer analog as well. I have some digital modelers but still prefer analog.
Il this pedal able to clean up a slightly overdriven marshall amp, or it's just an overdrive that add gain
That Bassman, though. It said, "Early-to-mid-Seventies ZZ Top." I heard it. Loud and clear. _Just Got Back from Baby's._ _It Sure Got Cold After the Rain Fell._ Maybe make a pedal that does _that._
“Heard it on the X!!!”
Just ordered mine been waiting years thanks Brian

@wampler_pedals What did you use for the direct sound…analog cab sim or IR? And what cab sim / IR loader?
Currently don’t “need” one, but you pretty much just sold me at least on of the two. 🧐
Now you got me shopping for a Black 65. I swear I'm going to have one of each OD pedal in your full lineup before long...
the tweed at 1:32 it does not get better
I have 2 Tweed 57 pedals. They turn a Fender black face style amp into something tweed or Marshall like for rock. Always wondered why he discontinued it.
The guitar nerd father I wish I had! Love learning about the fine differences in different distortion sounds and what’s actually happening
This was a good overall explanation of amp sounds drives etc
I'm just going to have to buy one of your pedals. Thanks for the videos.
Lol 😂 I was thinking to myself “why a special video on discontinued pedals?”

This is an answer to my prayers. I've been looking for some kind of Fender preamp to use with my Two-Notes CAB M+. Not a huge fan of the preamp in it.
Can I go straight to an interface with any amp in a box pedal or is that feature unique to these pedals?
I have the Joyo American Sounds which is both of these pedals in one but doesnt sound half as good, but it does get you in the ball park. I would buy a double pedal in a heart beat as I love my Ego and that Wampler quality.
I have the Joyo too and it's good but noisy and farty at the higher gain. I'd like to eventually upgrade too.

But, - after playing an actual Bassman, why would you want any other sound?
JK; I like the AC 15 for some things.
In my experience, the Tubescreamer only works into a cranked Marshall for the metal thing. Otherwise it sounds like an AM radio.

I wish I could afford to buy both of them. Not that any Wampler pedal is over-priced new.
Both the 57 and 65 in front as an overdrive, sound insane!!
If you believe hard enough, everything is a gain pedal.
At that point, it's not a misunderstanding.

Yeah, but I'm playing it through my Vox (or whatever). It's always going to be "a hat with a hat" situation. I'm not going to get the sound of a plexi or a bluesbreaker. It's like I'm mixing Coke with Fanta. I'm going to get _that_ flavor, not the flavor on either bottle.
Brian. PLEASE Re Release these two, updated with the Cab Emulation(or do a Wampler Cab Emulator!) onboard and for the love of GOD please bring back the Thirtysomething. There are NO Vox pedals on the market that can touch it and I missed my chance to get one back when I got my original 65 and 57 and Plexi!
I want to use these the way you explained last(as a Preamp) but the cab emulators are less than stellar and not having that Vox preamp is a nightmare!!
Oooh the 65! If I plug this into a certain brand of amplifier 😅 will I get double the tone? 65 into a 65 😅❤😂 or double the Tweedy Tone into a tweed ??😅
Recently got the Black 65 - it is already in my top 3 dirt pedals with the Euphoria and Half-horse. delightful.
Hi! Good explanation of use. Btw i want to make it by myself but J201 and other are hard to source now, i have some jfets but problem with them is, that with just 2 stages and source bypass cap i have hot rodded marshall gain. Any idea how to tame it?
Will you please just sell me an empty box? My tone really needs it. You know, something I can run it through 16 other pedals to get me there.
The Classic and Power Station are my initial preferences for different reasons. There were harmonic changes sometimes that would work better for somethings, but that's the rabbit hole of a guitarist.
I still have my Wampler Analog Echo orange square box with four white knobs on top. On back plate looks like it was signed by Justin Simpson #1119 dated 11-2-2008.
Intrigued, I have the wampler Belle and Ep booster both always on with a love pedal clone as the od in front of my classic 30.
Wondering what that 65' would do as a pre amp🤔
I hear you and I'm working on it Brian. Moneys tight yet the Black 65 is calling...
Mark, I have a couple of your pedals and just ordered a couple of more today from Sweetwater. I wondered if you have ever thought about making a pedal that would simulate sitar sounds and leslie sounds from the 60's ? Sort of a specialty pedal to have those effects on hand that would be cool for recording and live. And what ever other sounds like that that might be integrated into a pedal like that.
I've had both of the original pedals for about a dozen years. The '57 rarely leaves my board. I probably should get a backup. I love the '65 too, but don't have as much use for it.
Thank you Mr. Wampler. I purchased both of these last night!
It's a blessing to have such a an opportunity to learn from this videos. Thank You Mr. Wampler
I hope someone traces the '65 so I can DIY after the run sells out 😭Cant afford it at the moment during the final run but schematics are forever
Do a pedal combining those pedales with the Belle,all three toguether...call it Belle Trio!!!❤❤❤
If I want to use the cranked sound and also have the crunchy sound for “cleans” should I buy two tweed pedals, and stack them?
a lot of people dont really know what these boutique amps sound like. for example, I have never owned a soldano.. I have got to mess around with some old amps and most are cleaner than I expected.
Black '65 is on my pedalboard for the last 10 years probably and it's not going anywhere. At the end of the chain where it belongs. Beautiful pedal.
Thank you for the video Brian! Just purchased the Tweed 57 which will be my very first Wampler pedal and I'm so much looking forward to getting it!
excellent points ... alot,too many people don't realize the range of good quality pedals. small adjustments make significant changes
The Nerd video sounds like a great accompaniment to the Pedals. Your understanding of the design and uses should prove quite valuable.
I run pedals like these (eg, Catalinbread WIIO or Formula 55) into an EHX 5mm power amp into a speaker cab. It is pretty cool.
Thanks. What do you recommend for a clean power supply to run into a guitar cab? Something around 50w. There aren't too many options I see out there and most have pretty steep prices for a small solid state amp.
Two of my favorite pedals and for ever on my pedalboard in front of my Mesa Boogie Lonestar! I've got mine second hand because they would no longer produced by Brians company. They are wonderful and sometimes I use a Nobels OD 1 in front.
This would be really cool as a clean channel for any single channel amp with a fx loop with some '4 cable method' style switching.
Tone at 1:32 is perfection. Best tele “rock” sound I’ve heard in a long time!
Effin genius!
