Wampler Triple Wreck Soundcheck - www.dirtbox.net

Sound demo for The Wampler Triple Wreck distortion pedal. I insanely pulled the trigger on a full on boutique pedal (out of character for me.....). I was expecting it to be pretty good, but not this freaken good. So sometimes you do get what you pay for (bear in mind these pedals are hand built in the USA. Hopefully this video gives a decentish impression of what it sounds like through a modest 5w tube amp. Obviously it`s not going to get a full on recto tone with a 10" speaker, but it`s pretty damn close. Plus, after experimentation I found some amazingly musical fuzz tones. Thanks Wampler!

A full review of the pedal will be on www.dirtbox.net very soon.

hey there, im looking at getting a fender blues deluxe and the triple wreck to play through the clean channel. hoping itll sound just as good as your sound. whats your thouhts on it? thanks!!!

[DrKarnivore]

@rainy78 These pedals (had a pinnacle for a while too) work the best on a clean amp with a lot of headroom. So a blues deluxe would be great!

Wampler is probably far better than most goofballs who get one. Excellent pedals overdives and high gains. Strat guy question, those who have used strats for heavy metal range across the spectrum. Some that come to mind, Blackmore, Iron Maiden, Malmsteen, a Strat is highy versatile, it is all how you rig it. Secret is not pickups, you use what you like, put a good buffer pedal like a Radial PB1 front of chain and kick the boost for more drive if you need it. You can always put dual rails in it.

@CarvinTone I personally love single coils with a lot of gain, mainly the open and edgy sound you get with them more than humbuckers sometimes in the right situation. Not sure what your first statement means though?!

[mean0machine0]

im considering buying one of these now too O.o

[DrKarnivore]

@mean0machine0

If your getting into uber dirt pedals, I reckon you`d be better off with an amp with a brilliant clean channel that takes pedals really well. Like a HRD. The Blackstars cleans are decent, not sure how well they take pedals though.......

"Screw this shit" ha ha ha legendary

[odnick]

WOW!!! The pedal sounds awsome!!! Mine is on the way and i cant wait!!!

[mean0machine0]

@CarvinTone i have no idea what you just said... and how was it related to anything i posted 6 months ago? lol

[CarvinTone]

@mean0machine0 sure as long as you stay at bedroom level as not wake Mom. It's sound physics not dufus opinion. Look up the why and how of "watts" in sound. Would you expect to see a tiny watt bass amp w a little speaker? How about an audiophile tube power amp for playing vinyl w a 5 watt distorted out result. Size matters, ask your girlfriend.

[CarvinTone]

All high gains are intended for clean channels and tube amps make everything sound better. Tubes are not always about distortion there is a reason audiophiles use super clean tube power amps w vinyl records. My issue is all these little watt amps, sorry just hate them, all are thin and midrangey because they have no watts for decent low end or dynamic clean channel headroom. Half stack any day baby! Watts are NOT about loudness worst mistaken assumption in the stupid guitar player realm.

[CarvinTone]

@DrKarnivore funny, as they keep saying that about everyone, GMD especially.

[CarvinTone]

Just FYI to any of you guys looking for "the drive" I go through them like mad and seriously the Wampler drives are just the best. I love the Ecstasy and I am thinking about getting the 65, one is a 3 mode opamp diode option and the 65 is a JFET real tuby sounding OD. I think they eat Zendrives for lunch and the E is a real Dumble in a box. I do not do the country thing but he has the Paisley for that. For around the $200 range Wampler kills the competition.

[CarvinTone]

@DrKarnivore I am working on it, I normally do not play that much high gain and I get the band thing, most guys do not realize all this gain is not so useful at band vol. i just like having them for kicks as I retired from gigging these days and I just mess with my personal sound room and gear. I have a 3 channel amp head that burns tubes but I still love that clean channel high gain fun and the Triple Wreck does it better than anything I have had. Wampler is just plain impressive.

[CarvinTone]

@DrKarnivore Not about your playing or personal. I just read sometimes these guys crapping on Wampler, seriously these are all amazing pedals. Some guy likes this 600-800 pedal better, good, I hope he buys two of them. I dig Strats myself I have three models and all sound great, I think by far the best guitar to have because you can rig it to do anything. Wamplers tweak to anything, very versatile pedals. I dig the Triple Wreck I just realized it is 270 not 200 like most the other Wamplers.
