Wampler Pedals Belle Overdrive

The Wampler Belle Overdrive is a transparent overdrive with extended controls to dial in your ultimate driven tone. From klone to crunch the Belle offers everything from clean boost to gritty throaty drive. Based on a famous circuit known for its clarity and articulation the Belle has been tweaked to produce a fuller dynamic response with a little... moremore gain available to add versatility. A dedicated bass control dictates the low-end response but the intuitive control is Color which sets your overall tonal response without compromising how pleasantly pronounced the mids are- the term adding a kick has never been better suited. There is even a side-mounted pushswitch to alter the clipping level push in to add asymmetrical clipping for a thicker grittier tone. If this isnt enough versatility this pedal was also designed to run at either 9v or 18v allowing you to experiment with power and whether an overloaded tone suits you better. Elevate your playing and find your perfect transparent OD sound.

The pedal that inspired this circuit has been around for a long time in various forms but most versions of it have too much of a “Hi Fi” sound about them, they fail to get the right mix of clarity and bass that is needed to make this overdrive sing. Brian Wampler has added further gain capabilities to this circuit, and added a bass cont... morerol that controls all the harmonics from smooth and creamy to tight and crunchy.The sound this circuit delivers is a firm favorite in Nashville and Brian Wampler’s take is everything you would expect it to be – high quality components, a beautiful enclosure, and a glorious tone. If you set the gain low and the bass control up high, you get a wonderful clean boost sound that can rival any Klone circuit, but when you spin the bass down and the gain all the way up, you suddenly find yourself with an awesome transparent overdrive / medium distortion sound with all the crunch you need.The Color control is more than just a standard tone control and it’s pretty unique to this circuit. Dialling it right or left will either boost or cut the high and low end a little, but the midrange frequencies are left well alone. Combine this with the Bass control and you have a very versatile tone shaping palette with Wampler’s legendary ease of use. Brian has also added a push switch on the side which will control the amount of compression and alter the clipping structure in the circuit for some extra punch.
