With the Wampler Belle, effect guru Brian Wampler presents his interpretation of the optimal Nashville drive pedal, which harmonizes with humbucker- as well as single-coil- guitars and forms the perfect basis for crisp country, blues and rock tones with flexible sounds between clean hi-fi boost and juicy overdrive.
Analogue Circuit with two clipping modes
For the Analogue circuitry of the Belle, Brian Wampler naturally relies on high-quality components for a clear and pristine sound. Depending on the position of the gain and volume controls, the effect pedal is suitable both as a clean boost, which elicits a harmonically bursting crunch from the amp if desired or as a stand-alone drive with a juicy sound. In the standard clipping mode, the Wampler Belle delivers a compressed tone for creamy timbres, while the second clipping mode is more open and reacts lively to the playing dynamics.
Flexible EQ
With the two tone controls of the Wampler Belle, the guitar sound can be adjusted very precisely to your own wishes. The Color control influences the high and low frequencies, but leaves the midrange spectrum untouched, so that both brilliant hi-fi tones and midrange-emphasized sounds with assertiveness are available. The Bass control also adjusts the lowest frequency ranges to help smaller amps get going or to keep boomy sounds in check.
