Wampler Pedals- Pinnacle

[HOUNDDAWG]

DUDE!

You have definitely done it!

Those sounds are outstanding.

[johnnyrocket350]

definitely some nice tones!

[motleycrue24]

if you dont have your mids turned all the way down...you should gives it more of a kick tone closer to the brown sound imo

[danieleturani]

Nice demo! Can I ask what settings are you using on the pedal?

[theShowStopper321]

U got some long ass fingers, does guitar playing come easy for u?

[HackerGuitarist]

why would someone put a pedal that emulates a marshall into a ....marshall?

it boggles the mind

[jashobbsie]

@HackerGuitarist actually the gain channel on this amp pretty much sucks in my opinion...really sucked! thats why i no longer own it....lol but the clean channel rocked, so i put all my effects thru the clean channel...i now own a fender twin. if you want a real marshall...buy a plexi or reissue...jcm 800...those are real marshalls in my opinion, but thats just me.

[HackerGuitarist]

@jashobbsie ok , I see now,,,yes I had a 74 marshall , still can't believe I sold it, like you mentioned,it didn't need a pedal, The Wampler rocks !

[yobhsiFehT]

@jashobbsie

Wait, so what Marshall WAS it then?

(i.e., what are you saying we should avoid? ;))

[StratBanez101]

@jashobbsie i agree man those are real marshalls but if your gonna try to get the brown sound try using humbuckers

[jashobbsie]

@StratBanez101 I am! this is a semour duncan hot rails mini humbucker....you never thought this was single coils did you? lol

[StratBanez101]

@jashobbsie oh shit hahaha! sorry

[jpducati916]

@HackerGuitarist if you can't tell the difference between the brown sound and a marshall maybe you should play a harmonica!

[CarvinTone]

Wampler kicks major ass. I have heard a lot of dead on Edward tones out of this box on different amps. I thought the Lovepedal purple plexi cranked but this puppy burns.

Sweet Strat and after market pickups, were the SRvs too noisey? Not sure if it's just YT artifacts but some hum going on. I can't do the Eddie thing much either but I have no wish to sound like him but this box cranks. Why does that guitar have so much string plunk?

[2cool4u24]

Right, hot rails. Either way, it sounds good.

I meant tone as in more thickness, but single coils or hot rails could have good tone.

[2cool4u24]

Sounds pretty good. You should try using a humbucker at the bridge to get more tone though.

[jashobbsie]

@2cool4u24 this is sort of a humbucker...semour duncan hotrails...awesome pickup.

[shep79]

@jashobbsie Goes to show people listen with their eyes and not their ears...eh? Great playing and nice gear...checked out a few of your vids.

[smacman68]

yes it is, an awesome pickup. I replaced all the stock single coils with the hotrails and got a guitar that screams and sounds better than anything I have found. I took it into the Guitar Center where I bought the set and plugged it into an Egnator full stack they had sitting there. Within a few minutes the WHOLE store, employees and customers, were gathered around me and asking "what is the world IS that?" My rockstar moment.

[jmannunez]

@jashobbsie your are correct. It puts out as much output as a humbucker.

[mrkyt77]

what bridge pup r u using?

[frylocdub]

man thats perfect for van halen riffs.....

[VanHalenfreak9]

would u suggest the marshall jcm 2000 tsl100 to a van halen fanatic?

[skunizzi]

I see my decals are still holding up on your guitar. Nice!

[dadofender]

oh jesus, what a guitar :Q__

[PJHAIGHT]

This gets a very good Van Halen tone, very close, maybe the closest we'll ever see until the future. I should buy this. Now the setting are adjustable, right? Or is it basically just a Brown Sound in a box? Tweaked to Ed's settings.

[12345678ix]

hello im getting a new amp either a jcm 800 900 2000 or vox ac 30 i really wanna get a nice brown sound like van halen and tight overdrive like guns n roses , kiss and ozzy ousbourne but i will also need to clean up the sound to get a jimi hendrix or pink floyd tone which amp should i get and those the jcm 800 take pedals well because it has no fx loop thanks give me opinions .

[stillrockin123]

sounds great, what are you using for delay? what are your delay settings?

[jashobbsie]

@stillrockin123 Its a wampler pedal called " Analog Echo"..great delay!

check em out wamplerpedals

cheers, and thanks!

[skunizzi]

Cool decals where did you get those? :)

[javajimmy1090]

that's pretty close to brown if you aks me

[mkhf580]

just bought a pinnacle reissue. Took only 4 days to get. Love it. Now if only I could play some EVH. Great playing. Would love to see what your settings are on the pedal.

[Tonechaser69]

turn the delay back a little killing your sound otherwise nice vid!!

[jashobbsie]

@Tonechaser69 I love it!!!

[sasavid]

Youre tone is big,nice..very cool!!

[bailey32121]

Would u think buying this is better than buying a evh 5150 iii and the cab too , considering i have a line 6 30 watt amp

[rockfreak611]

@bailey32121 *faceplam* please tell me that was a joke

[jashobbsie]

@bailey32121 if you want the true Edward van Halen sound and want to go "the amp" route..try a marshall super 100...a cheaper alternatve to this would be to get a "Metro amp"...go on their website...you can buy a kit for 1000.00 and build your own "brown sound amp....check em out. Another thing is, a lot of eddy's sound is actually the way he plays...his feel and touch on the guitar...

[apguitarguy401]

@bailey32121 yes! bailey32121 is definitely correct. in the earlier VH albums, eddie starved the tubes to 90 volts to get that browner sound, and just cranked everything on his amp. literally everything! the majority of his tone came right from his fingertips and how he picked the strings. i've seen in videos that he presses INSANELY hard on the fretboard and holds the pick at and angle as if hes always doing a pinch harmonic. every amp he played on had HIS sound.

[apguitarguy401]

@apguitarguy401 i've seen videos of him playing on music man amps and even a 80s peavey, and they all sounded eerily similar. :P & the 5150III are disgustingly digital btw. hope that helped as well, i kinda a VH freak :P but yea, jashobbsie is definitely correct!

[apguitarguy401]

@apguitarguy401 haha. my bad. i meant to say jashobbsie in the first message.

[whistlindick]

The variac story was a scam. It browns the sound a little but not nearly enough to make a stock plexi sound like VH first record. Eddie's plexi was highly modded and he even admitted it early on but tried to take it back later. Early pictures of the amp clearly show an added master volume.

[apguitarguy401]

@whistlindick i haven't seen those pictures, but a variac will change the tone of your tubes, especially the older ones suck as the kt66s that were often in the old marshall plexi amps. as you crank the volume, the tubes are trying to put out the same level as they are supposed to, but can't because of the voltage drop. they're overworked and produce a much more browner sound. im not saying thats what made his tone, but it did make a difference. His playing was the major tone factor though

[ozkillar]

great vid man! are u plugged in just with pinnacle-delay-amp? or are u using another pedal here? thanks in advance!

[jashobbsie]

@ozkillar thats all that is on in this vid.

thanks!

[ozkillar]

@jashobbsie holy! this sounds great... I was not very secure of this pedal because there are some other reviews that sound awful but this is great. Is it too much to ask if you could give me the settings youre using in the pedal and in the amp?? Thanks again bro!

[theShowStopper321]

U have a JCM 2000, u could probably get pretty close to that with just ur amp

[felphero]

@theShowStopper321 you can plug a dog poo into a JCM 2000 and it will still sound completelly awesome

[morecowbell365]

check my video for tone :)

[jemesp]

now that is a nice sounding pedal

[Fender1976uk]

One more thing! I use a 15 watt all valve class A custom built amp! its loud enough :) and when I play live in a big area! I just mic it up and it sounds great :) you dont need to have a 20000 watt marshall turbo destroy rig :) LOL! unless your doing stadium tour???? and to make people deaf :)

[Fender1976uk]

I use a class A all valve amp and I love it BUT id like to stick up for some guys here! not everyone can afford a top notch amp! so don't dig at guys that love their pedals man! its all good! just have fun! theres never a right sound! if your just a kid reading my comment! dont listen to the 'KNOW IT ALLS' go with how you feel! dont think you have to spend a ton of money on equipment! check out GGG pedals! you can build high quailty pedals at great prices! if you know how to use a soldering iron

[joesl8]

Oh I forgot, sorry, Great playing man! Sounds nice. I like that you're playing a strat as well, shows how diverse your good ol strat can be, kind of curious what pups are in it?

[Greenballed]

One hell of a trick then.

[DarthKazi]

As far as the "one trick pony" comment, I'd say that depends on the player more than anything. I 'spose you could say Hendrix was a one trick pony since he played Hendrix music and it was as diverse as Hendrix was capable of being... as is the case with most players.

In that sense Steve Vai is a one trick pony because all he does is bang on his whammy and weedle-de-wee on the upper register. Is that right? Maybe not.

Let's not generalize, shall we?

[joesl8]

@DarthKazi Some of these guys do get stuck in their playing limits but I agree with you that you shouldn't label them. Maybe they chose to be stuck? BTW Hendrix could have played anything he chose, he could have bent any style into submission then set it on FIRE! ; )

[12345678ix]

great sound on a marshall but i dont know if i can get this distortion maxed out on a vintage 22 bugera

[gree17]

of course you can. No distortion is coming from the amp. its all the pedal. all you need is a amp with a nice clean channel. and dude 22 watts tube is definitely loud enough. anyway, it doesn't matter how "powerful" your amp is. A pedal like this will work perfectly.

[12345678ix]

so your saying this pedal will sound the same on a fender and a marshall jcm 2000

[gree17]

No lol, a fender amp uses 6L6 tubes which are warmer and more throaty. Anything Marshall uses EL34 or 84, which are british voiced tubes. Also, speakers play a huge role in the overall tone of your sound. But what you said had nothing to do with tone and quality of sound. You were talking about power. Which honestly doesn't really matter with pedals. Unless you are using a 5 watt tube amp. which is still freakin loud, but doesn't have near the amount of clean headroom as a 100 watt marshall head

[DarthKazi]

Eh... maybe to a non-discerning player/listener, but REAL amp distortion (that is, the tubes being on the verge of self-destruction) cannot be replicated any other way but to crank a real tube amp. Period.

Just get a Marshall with a Variac (90 volts input setting) and crank everything to 10.

[gree17]

some people cant just "get" a marshall dude. The new DSL2000 series sounds like crap. The only way to get the classic marshall grind is to buy a JCM800 or JTM45. Which are most definately not cheap. Personally I think Marshall's are overrated and cliche. They are pretty much a one trick pony. Compared to a nice boutique amp from Divided by 13, a Marshall stack sounds like garbage, er, butt rock garbage.

[DarthKazi]

I think you missed my point. Ed's "sound" was a culmination of a mildly modified Marshall, low-output PAF humbucker and a few effects here and there... in addition to his playing technique. Trying to simulate the "brown sound" with a pedal is akin to trying to simulate real sex with masturbation.

But that aside, I am not an advocate of cranking an amp up to the point of near death, since most of us cannot afford said classic Marshall or the vastly overpriced boutique amps like Divided by 13.

[DarthKazi]

Replacing tubes is one thing, but causing a meltdown of the plate and transformer as well as the tubes is quite another... speakers as well.

So I'm not saying we should all crank to 12 instead of buying a pedal. I'm saying you can't get 'THAT SOUND' with a stomp box. And that's OK...

[DreamerGia]

I want to buy this pedal. One question, is it noisy? I have an ibanez with humbucker.

Thank you.

[jashobbsie]

with a humbucker you should be fine...it all depend too what kind of amp you put it through, i don't crank my gain on the pedal too high...max 70%....this is a great buy if you like this sound..

cheers!

[jashobbsie]

@DreamerGia not too noisey when the gained is cranked...i never put the gain on crank.

[calfender08]

hi, which fender amp are you using, and what do you think about the '57 twin deluxe for this pedal, whatever your using sounds great. God bless

[jashobbsie]

I'm actually using a marshall tsl 100 on the clean channel, this is a jcm 2000 model through a 4 x 12 cab loaded with celestion t75's..thanks for watchin and the comment

[mrstrat222]

Great Video!!! do you know which model pinnacle you are using? there are about 4 of them that brian made- you's sounds the best!! FYI-great playing! The analog echo pedal you are using-is that in the effects loop or straight in the amp???

[jashobbsie]

man, I must have sold about 50 of these boxes for brian by posting this video, he should send me a free pedal, don't you think? haha!....i'm more than happy to help you. mine is a more recent pinnacle. I am putting the analog echo thru the effects loop. this is a keeper! both are great pedals! the one with the dual switch must be nice too....

cheers! thanks for watching!

[mrstrat222]

Not sure if you have a pic of your pinnacle pedal. is it the small box version- or the larger box version. I have a couple of older marshall 100 watt heads- i love them. but I go out and use my C-30 matchless head! I play it on 15 watts! it is as loud as my 100 watt marshall in the 30 watt mode!! The analog echo does sound outstanding. you would think that brian would send you some free stuff!!!HaHa!!!!

[jashobbsie]

see my other pinnacle video for the version i use.....

[BrasilGuitar]

0.009 or 0.010?

[jashobbsie]

10's 9's on my ibanez though

[TheSAJ11]

Great demo , can you please tell me what pickups you are using , thank you .

[jashobbsie]

this is for "thesaj11", i am using a semour duncan "hotrails" in the bride and American stock pickups in the middle and neck positions.

[apguitarguy401]

awesome tone! i've been having some issues getting a clean sound that works well with my pedals. do you have any suggestions as far as the eq and the gain level on the clean channel?

[jashobbsie]

well I try to keep the EQ flat as possible on the amp. The gain on my amp was cranked and volume wherever needed. I found this was best for me. I let my pedal really push my amp at low distortion setting, so when i increase distortion i don;t have to max the distortion out to get a good crunchy sound...hope that helps.

[apguitarguy401]

thanks. yea, i realized that because im using the cheaper MC marshall cab that i really need to back off of the trebble and presence. I never thought of doing that with the gain though, thanks.

[ste528]

Sound good dude - how are you conecting to your amp - 4 cable or straight in?

[jashobbsie]

Just straight in....Thanks for the comment.

[danimal511]

this video sucks until 1:02 then ther's some tasty licks

[azazael09]

Honestly it sounds nothing like early EVH.

[Axeman2006]

Holy crap its perfect!!!!

I have to have this pedal.

Thanks

[92stone]

Thanks for the honest review..I have the tsl601c.This is what ive been looking for....Have you ever used a clean boost or overdrive in front of this pedal.Thanks Jimmy

[frankenstrat25]

sry i forgot to reply to this comment for a while so ok

Gain-cranked all the way

boost pressed in

contour-4 (counting the lines bolded)

hope this helps you i have a G10 mkII or some shit like that

[marksjohnc]

I've got one I'm selling if anyone's interested. Does all they say it does for sure!

[FREAK9364]

Im interested.

[frankdominick]

How much are you selling it for?

[marksjohnc]

$160.00 OBO Mint condition one made in late January of this year.

[frankenstrat25]

i actually have a lil marshall practice amp and i worked most of the summer to get the tone and im never gonna chenge those knobs bcuz i got EVHs sound

[FREAK9364]

could you please share them.

[frankenstrat25]

no thx ill stick to my overdriven marshall thats the only true way to get the EVH sound

[jashobbsie]

you're right! This pedal won't substitute a marshall plexi but it sure as hell beats lugging around a head and cab to get a marshall sound, believe me i've done it time and time again, gets tiring. thanks for the comment.

[r3ynew]

hey, where did you buy this pedal from??

thanks

[smausetrap]

thanks to this I'm buyin it today...righ tnow.

[mx999us]

Great demo. Kick ass playing. I may be buying one of these tomorrow used. The guy wants 140

[chromeboy579]

I NEED ONE I THINK !!!!!

[Teutonic1250]

how much is it?

[jashobbsie]

amp settings are pretty much flat eq treble bass mids, believe me , this pedals smokes in most amps especially tube amps..

[ppitt5150]

The pedal sounds great but what about your amp settings? I mean the tone is also made up of your amp settings along with the pedals settings. So what are your amp setting along with the pedals to make the tone?

[blackcloud45]

Damn dude, you're pretty good!

[kissrocks45]

were can i buy these pedals?

[FingerLickinGravy67]

he should man

[gmlasam]

Man Great tone and Fantastic playing!!!! Brian Wampler should hire you to show off his pedals!!!!!

[paraxincinlin]

which pickups are these? stock pickups

???

[jashobbsie]

semour duncan hotrails bridge, american fender pickups , middle and neck.

[dkjw14]

nice cover of Panama!!!

[Teledude1972]
