Wampler Euphoria Overdrive Pedal, John Mayer Tones

The Euphoria is my take on that elusive tone and feel made famous by "Dumble style Amplifiers" - smooth creaminess yet crunchy when you need it to be, yet the tonality is much more transparent than other “Dumble sounding" pedals. Very responsive tone controls that interact with the pedal - they don't just “color” the sound. The controls actually affect the response and feel of the pedal, just like a great tube amp.
If you love the sound of your clean tone, and just wish you could have more “hair” on the note... a little bit of grit without any change in tonality, the Euphoria will do that with ease. PLUS it's extremely flexible... with the toggle switch in the down position you'll get a hint of fuzz along with the overdrive, it's reminiscent of the tones that "Eric Johnson" may use. With the toggle in the up position the tonality is super smooth, creamy yet crunchy when you dig into the strings.
This is reminiscent to the famous “D style” tone, though it's really much, much more than that. In the center position, the toggle will give you tons of crunch, or roll the gain back a bit and push the volume up and you have a superior clean boost with a 2 band EQ that's extremely transparent, but variable so you can actually turn it into an awesome treble booster just by cranking up the treble and turning the bass down.

Nailed the base Dumble/Two rock tone perfectly, and aded even more to it. Love this one. It is the only overdrive on my board - although I see it more as a preamp in smooth mode to sweeten up my Deluxe Reverb. Great job Wampler!

Great pedal at 9 volts, awesome at 18 volts! This pedals "blooms" when you push 18 volts through it. Kudos to Wampler for putting out such a versatile pedal that gives Stratocasters and Fender amps that much appreciated edge.

This pedal brought my old 2x12 classic 50 to life!
-
This pedal gave me the blues tone in my head and I've tried quite a few. I'll never part with the euphoria. My strat loves it! Thanks for making such amazing pedals.

THANKS for a very good &versatile drive! I got a 2nd one lately, as im astounded by the pedal: from dark smooth Jazz tone to nice Bluesy hi gain Overdrive! All in all BEAUTIFUL tones from one single pedal!:hand-pink-waving::face-blue-smiling::hand-pink-waving:

Could you maybe do a video showcasing the Euphoria and Clarksdale running together? I'd like to see how they interact with each other. In fact, you should do more videos showcasing more than one of your pedals running together to see how good your pedals work in conjunction. Much love! Keep up the great work!

This is the greatest pedal for telecaster. It's amazing with the J Rockett Archer also
-
This dude has the Meyer mouth movements down

Ive had mine for over a year? now. Love it. I couldnt live without it. It sounds amazing on its own thru all my guitars amps, and stacking it with various overdrives creates so many different tasty tones, its kinda surreal. Stacked with the RedWitch Famulus or the El Musico Loco's Ole Glass Fuzz, is pure ninja tone magick. Glorious. Hashbrown yummy.

the settings in the intro work really well with my strat!

Not gonna lie....really dig the sounds. Well done Wampler, well done. PS, this pedal with a boost function? ....could be a contender for the Grail of Tone
-
Its been my go to overdrive for years; i haven't found anything to replace it yet ....
-
Great pedal demo, as are all of Brian Wampler demo videos. Somebody found a good use for that Epiphone Valve Jr. head cabinet, on top of the Wampler amp, at 0:14.

I just got this last week, matched it with the new Tumnus. Love them both.

Sean Kendor Travis is channeling ;)

Bought one for non-solo, lead stuff like rhythm guitar stuff. Great sounds.
