Wampler Pedals Announces the Clarksdale Overdrive

A take on that world-famous lime green overdrive.

Martinsville, IN (November 10, 2014) -- At the crossroads of Highway 61 and Junction 49 lies the official crossroads of Clarksdale, Mississippi ā€“ the birthplace of the Delta Blues. This historic town, and the famous music that was created there, is responsible for the inspiration behind this pedal ā€“ The Clarksdale Overdrive.

The Clarksdale is Wampler Pedalā€™s take on that world-famous lime green overdrive many of us have come to loveā€“ with a few great Wampler styled improvements of course. With the addition of a 3 band EQ (Bass, Mids, and Treble) The Clarksdale allows a player to have a more tailored tonal pallet than the original. The Lift/ Smooth switch will also allow a player to either sit in the mix with the Smooth setting or allow your leads to standout with the Lift option. Unlike the original ā€œgreen giantā€ the Clarksdale will not ā€œfizz outā€ as much at low or high gain settings.

Features:

  • Active three-band EQ
  • Top-mounted jacks
  • Hand-built in America
  • More useable drive
  • True bypass relay soft-click switch
  • Tonally based on ā€œThat famous mid-range hump driveā€
  • Smooth/ Lift Switch (Asymmetrical/ Symmetrical clipping)

MSRP: $199.97USD
