Wir haben die Grundtöne eines sehr berühmten Wampler-Pedals genommen (eines, das die Eigenschaften eines berühmten gestackten, EL34-betriebenen Verstärkers hat) und beschlossen, dass dies die beste Grundlage ist, um das perfekte Fuzz zu bauen und es in einem Gerät zu liefern, das so gut und kraftvoll klingt, wie es sich anfühlt.

Mit zwei völlig unterschiedlichen Clipping-Optionen (nicht nur die einfache Silizium- oder Germanium-Option wie bei den meisten anderen) kannst du diese klassischen großen Fuzz-Sounds erreichen, die untenrum massiv komprimiert werden, oder du kannst sie straffen und sie eher wie eine Distortion reagieren lassen. Auf diese Weise erhält man alle Töne, ohne dass es zu Nebeneffekten kommt. Einige Leute sagen, es klingt wie Fuzz, aber fühlt sich an wie Distortion, also ja, du KANNST das Beste aus beiden Welten haben.

We took the base tones from a very famous Wampler Pedal (one that has the characteristics of a famous stacked, EL34 driven, amp) and decided this was the best foundation to build the perfect fuzz and deliver it in a unit that sounds as good as it feels powerful.

With two completely different clipping options (not just the basic silicon or germanium option like most) you can achieve those classic fuzz big tones that compresses massively across the bottom or you can tighten them up and have it respond more like a distortion. With this you get all of the tone with none of the side effects. Some people say it sounds like a fuzz but feels like a distortion, so yes, you CAN have the best of both worlds.

Manual

Velvet Fuzz

Das Ratsbane basiert auf einer berüchtigten Schaltung eines klassischen High Gain Distortion Pedals aus den 1980er Jahren und ist Brians Antwort auf die unzähligen Anfragen, die er erhalten hat, um seine Interpretation dieses beliebten Designs zu bauen.
Der volle, dynamische Bereich und die schiere klangliche Kraft dieser Schaltung machen es zu einem wahren König unter den Verzerrerpedalen.  Dreht man den Distortion-Regler ganz nach unten, erhält man einen tiefen, aber kräftigen Gain-Booster. Dreht man ihn auf, erhält man reiche harmonische Obertöne und eine kehlige, fuzzartige Verzerrung.  Die „ secret sauce“ für diese Schaltung war schon immer der Filterregler.  Wenn du ihn gegen den Uhrzeigersinn drehst, schneidet er direkt durch den Mix und sorgt für einen präzisen, hochfrequenten Attack, der deinen Ton mit absoluter Klarheit aufsteigen lässt.  Drehe ihn im Uhrzeigersinn, um das obere Ende zu filtern und einen warmen, butterweichen und dennoch klaren Ton zu erhalten. Diese natürliche Full-Range-Verzerrung, gemischt mit dem einzigartigen Filterregler, liefert einen klassischen Röhrenamp-Sound, der genre- und generationsübergreifend ist.

Based on an infamous circuit from a classic 1980’s high gain distortion pedal, the Ratsbane is Brian’s answer to the countless requests he has received to build his interpretation of this much-loved design.
The full, dynamic range, and sheer sonic force of this circuit is what makes it a true king amongst distortion pedals.  Turn the distortion control all the way down for a deep but powerful gain booster. Crank it up and you will find rich harmonic overtones and a throaty, fuzz-like distortion.  The “secret sauce” for this circuit has always been the filter control.  Turn it counter-clockwise to cut straight through the mix with precision and high-frequency attack that lets your tone soar with absolute clarity.  Turn it clockwise to filter the top end, for a warm, buttery, yet clear tone. This natural full-range distortion, mixed with its unique filter control, delivers a classic cranked tube-amp sound that crosses genres and generations of music.

RATSBANE DISTORTION

Ever since I first picked up a guitar, I've been chasing the perfect sound—a quest that led me to build pedals in the first place. One challenge kept coming up, both for me and the countless musicians I've talked to: the struggle to have a wide range of sounds with complex editing capabilities while keeping the pedal interface manageable. We either compromise on versatility or sacrifice precious space. I knew there had to be a better way. That's why I created the Catacombs - a pedal that eliminates the compromise altogether. It packs 11 of the most popular delay and reverb sounds into one intuitive, powerful package.Whether you're after a trusty digital delay and a plate reverb or a musical shimmer and a spaced out echo - we have you covered!

The team at Wampler have worked for a long time on ensuring Catacombs will become an indispensable part of your rig. You can run one of six delay and one of five reverb programs together simultaneously. Each program offers tap-tempo control and can be saved into one of the pedal's eight onboard preset locations for instant recall. Delays and reverbs can be run in Mono, Stereo, in parallel or in series. It's like having a studio's worth of delay and reverb effects right at your feet.

Catacombs

Brent Mason ist ein berühmter Session-Gitarrist aus Nashville, der seit den frühen 1990er Jahren in der Musikindustrie tätig ist. Viele kennen seinen Namen vielleicht nicht, haben aber sicher seine Arbeit gehört, sei es in Filmen, TV-Shows oder Werbespots. Er ist auch ein bekannter Komponist und Songwriter. Sein Soloalbum "Hot Wired" ist besonders für seinen herausragenden Gitarrenton bekannt und inspirierte die Entwicklung eines gleichnamigen Gitarrenpedals.

Die zweite Version des Hot Wired-Pedals (v2) wurde im Vergleich zur ersten Version weiterentwickelt, um den veränderten Anforderungen der Musikindustrie gerecht zu werden. Es bietet eine größere Vielseitigkeit, darunter wärmere Overdrive-Töne und ein "British Plexi"-Klangprofil. Das Pedal kombiniert Overdrive und Verzerrung, wobei beide Kanäle einzeln oder gemeinsam genutzt werden können, um einen vollen, satten Sound zu erzeugen.

While many may not recognize his name, they have likely heard his work in films, TV shows, or commercials. He is also a well-known composer and songwriter. His solo album "Hot Wired" is especially famous for its exceptional guitar tone and inspired the creation of a namesake guitar pedal.

The second version of the Hot Wired pedal (v2) has been updated to meet the changing demands of the music industry. It offers greater versatility, including warmer overdrive tones and a "British Plexi" sound profile. The pedal combines both overdrive and distortion, with each channel able to be used separately or together for a rich, full sound.

Hot Wired v2

Simply designed to keep your tone perfectly balanced within a beautiful and full tremolo.

From the sweet shimmering tremolo of yesteryear to helicopter choppiness of today, the tremolo has been a staple for guitar effects. With one foot in sweet vintage tones and one foot in more modern helicopter chops, the Wampler Latitude Standard simply just offers you pure and beautiful tremolo.

Like the standard’s big brother, the Deluxe, the standard has a pure signal path that allow the tremolo effect to be layered across the top giving you the best sound you can possible want from a tremolo.
