Wampler Gearbox Andy Wood Signature Overdrive Pedal

Wampler Gearbox  Andy Wood Signature Overdrive Pedal

Andy Wood is recognized as one of this generation’s most influential guitarists: he spent most of his childhood playing and competing in festivals and touring the bluegrass circuit with his cousin and grandfather; by the age of 22 he demonstrated his outstanding electric guitar skills being crowned champion of Guitar Center’s “Guitarmageddon” competition. Andy has toured professionally with a wide range of acts including Rascal Flatts, Gary Allan, Locash, Scott Stapp, and Sebastian Bach. Andy Wood has totally blurred the lines of preconceived genres with his most recent album, “Junktown”, a masterpiece of different guitar styles and progressive southern inspired fusion. Junktown was recorded with a prototype of what is now the Wampler Gearbox Andy Wood Signature Overdrive.

Gearbox features modified versions of two of Brian Wampler’s best loved drive circuits: the Tumnus and the Pinnacle. This combination makes the Gearbox one of the most versatile dual pedals Wampler has ever created. A top-switchable stacking order control, dual inputs and outputs, a custom designed side chained noise gate, premium quality components, along with a stunning finish, makes Gearbox THE single pedal solution that delivers

The Order switch lets you select which pedal comes first in the signal chain. For ultimate control, connect both sets of inputs and outputs to an external switcher to mix or match in parallel or series. Andy named this pedal the Gearbox as it was designed to be the driving force behind your sound.

Highlights

• Level (Both Channels): Controls the total output volume of each channel. The Level control on the Tumnus has been tweaked so unity is nearer the 12 o’clock position.
• Gain (Both Channels): This control adjusts the total amount of gain that is applied to the signal path of each channel, turning this control clockwise will increase the amount, counter clockwise will decrease.
• Bass / Mids / Treble (Ch 2): Adjust the amount of low-end, mid-range, and high-end frequencies on Channel 2, turning clockwise will increase the levels, counter clockwise to decrease.
• Gate (Ch 2): Filter unwanted noise with this custom designed side chained noise gate circuit control, turning this past 12 o’clock will radically gate the noise. Only affects signal if Channel 2 is active.
• Tone (Ch 1): Adjusts the amount of tone / clarity on Channel 1, turn clockwise for increased treble, couner-clockwise rolls off the treble.
• Order: Change the stacking order with this switch if you are using only one input and one output cable.
• Connections: This pedal has 2 pairs of input and output jacks: if you are using only one set connect to the jacks marked with solid triangles; if you are using both sets, the outline triangles indicate the separate output for Channel 1 and input for Channel 2. This allows you to connect both channels independently (to a switcher for example) or add a pedal as an insert inbetween both channels (Andy sometimes likes to put a compressor between them)
