Wampler Paisley Drive
At a gig, Brian Wampler once threw a modified pedal at the feet of Brad Paisley in the hope that he would pick it up and try it. Fortunately for us, and you, Bradâs tech picked it up, played it - digged it and gave it to Brad who took it away and LOVED it. From that point on, he has used and loved Wampler Pedals.
After a few years of using Wampler pedals (Ego, Underdog and Faux AnalogEcho) Bradâs tech at the time, Chad, mentioned to Brian that Brad wasnât 100% content with his tone and maybe they should all work together to make the perfect overdrive for Brad to record and tour with. His requirements were quite âsimpleâ⊠it needs to be clean but get crunchy with some âbeefâ to it. It needs to have a fluid tone when soloing. It needs to add a little hair to the tone but then has to be able to give flat out ball busting gain, oh⊠but please do not wreck the tonality. It needs to have everything, in a pedal format, but do not make it sound like a pedal!
Over a period of months, Brian made some circuits and sent them off, there were a couple of âtweaksâ here and there to be made and then finally, when official âprototype v2.0â landed, it went straight into the live rack and out on the 2010 âBrad Paisley: H20â world tour.
Brad Paisley:
ââŠwe actually recorded this (pedal) in the studio, you know, trying it out. I turned up a Trainwreck Amp that Iâve got and compared the sound of the distortion and it was very, very similar. And thatâs a very good test because any time a pedal can mimic a great overdriven amp then youâre on to somethingâŠâ
