Thirty Something Overdrive Pedal

After tweaking this circuit for just over 3 years, Brian was beyond happy to have finally nailed that classic British chime and style of overdrive. This has become somewhat of a mission for use, other pedals have come and gone, but this one has always been on the breadboard; being tweaked here and modified there. Finally, Wampler was ready to present one of their favorite tones of all time to the world.

What makes those amps so special? Well, first of all there is the “chime”—A beautifully clear and concise high response that cuts through anything. Then there is the overdrive. When you push it hard (with the boost switch activated) the tone creates a midrange hump that makes your tone enormous but with enough clarity to hear every string ring through. The Thirty Something truly is a master class in tone.

As you would expect from Wampler Pedals, great care has been taken to ensure authenticity of tone. The EQ features a Top Cut control that reacts and removes the same spectrum of frequencies you would expect from the originals. Switchable gain stages allow you a much clearer tone right up to the “that” beautiful, almost regal overdrive.

With the built in Class A treble boost, this really is the ultimate pedal of its kind.
