jeff040 « WAMPLER TWEED '57 »
Published on 10/25/13 at 10:07For those who love good vintage rock sound, this pedal is essential!
A plan to Clapton sound to Neil Young, a riff Creedence? Do not worry, this pedal is made for it.
The Wampler Tweed'57 aims to reproduce the sound of the legendary Fender Tweed 57 but with a much more affordable for the ordinary budget ... I bought mine new in the U.S. and even with shipping, I won 50 euros (minimum) for the price of stores in France.
UTILIZATION
The configuration of this pedal is ultra simple "plug and play" as they say!
Very versatile thanks to its 3-band EQ Bass / med / high, 1 gain knob, one volume knob and one small switch in the middle to reproduce the simulation input (normal / bright / linked) as the Fender of period.
It is also a true bypass pedal.
A manual? Need a manual for this?
SOUND QUALITY
The side of the sound is stunning! Well, the purists will say of course it is not the Fender time but it does it anyway!
With the switch in the "bright" position was sound with brilliance so typical of Fender amps, so nice for country plans and the like, the "normal" mode is the one I may be using the most, with a more warmth, and "linked" mode (similation of two inputs as bridged on the amp) it is more punchy giving a boost and then it sends the sauce anyway!
I generally used this effect with a Gibson SG Supreme P-90 plugged into a Egnater Rebel 30 212 plus a Boss OD-1 vintage 1980 and two sets .... Yum yum!
OVERALL OPINION
I have this pedal for 3 months and I admit it's a great overdrive.
Before I had a boss SD-1 + the vintage Boss OD-1, but since I replaced the SD-1 is the day and night.
A great pedal to try and maybe compared to the Lovepedal Les Lius with which I hesitated but for those who do not have the means like me to buy the real Fender Tweed (and already have to find a !), it's still a super good compromise within a reasonable budget.
A choice I do not regret and I do it again without hesitation.
