Wampler is staking its claim as king of the compact overdrive with two new mini pedals – a downsized version of its popular Plexi-Drive, and the all-new Belle Overdrive.
The Plexi-Drive Mini harnesses the original’s Marshall Plexi and JTM45-esque tones, but adds a fresh Mid Boost circuit.
The Belle Overdrive, meanwhile, is a low gain-focused pedal that’s based on “a firm favorite in Nashville”… We’re taking a wild guess that’s referring to old session favorite, the Nobels ODR-1.
Anyhoo, Wampler’s take promises an increased gain range, and less of a “hi-fi” quality.
It features a Color control – which boosts or cuts the high and low-end, without affecting the mid frequencies – and adds a Bass control, as well as the typical Level and Gain.
A side-mounted push-switch also adjusts the amount of compression and tweaks the circuit’s clipping structure, promising extra punch.
