Black '65 and Ecstasy Drive comparison by Wampler Pedals

This video is demonstrating the new Black '65 Overdrive compared to the Ecstasy Drive, both by Wampler Pedals

http://www.wamplerpedals.com/overdrives/


The Black '65 is an emulation of a blackface style amp, and can get totally clean all the way to very gainy.

The Ecstasy is a very transparent Overdrive that can get really creamy OR crunchy tones, and has a unique feel that many players feel has an almost "dumble" like quality.

Equipment:
G&L asat classic telecaster
Vox AC-30
WGS Alnico 'black and blue' speakers

Sounds great Brian: Hey, do I see a "Mids" control on the '65? Wow, now that's the way to make an excellent overdrive...Giving the guitarist the choice of how much/how little mids he wants rather than being predetermined by the maker.

Two thumbs up my friend...

@guitarman1956 , Yep, bass/mids/treble control with a gain boost switch :) thanks!

Just when I think I have my favs picked out I watch another demo and damn.

I think I am going to have to get both of these. As I understand the '65 is a JFET platform (very tubey) while the Ecstasy is a diode based 3 mode option OD. Major killer tones, thanks for the pedals Brian, some of us consider them the best on the planet.

That 65 is just awesome - I can't remember listening to better tones in any overdrive pedal demo (and you can include PGS on the list).

GREAT pedals! I just got an Ecstasy and I'm running it through a '65 DRRI. It's the most amazing tone I've ever gotten!

MORE Ecstasy Drive next time. One sided comparison HUH???

[ciclosonico]

Great sound, I'm loving the '65!!!!

[ScreamingMonkey78]

I'm in love with the Black '65! You are a tone monster Brian!

[tomatson6]

The Black 65 sounds AMAZING. Once again youve left me in awe with the tones coming from your little magic boxes. Outstanding work Brian.
