Wampler Pedals Releases Black '65 Overdrive Pedal

Wampler Pedals Releases Black '65 Overdrive Pedal

The Black ''65 is an amp-in-a-box designed to emulate a mid-sixties "blackface" amp

Martinsville, IN (August 30, 2010) -- Wampler Pedalsā€™ latest creation is an amp-in-a-box pedal designed to harness the cranked tones of a mid-'60s ā€œblackfaceā€-style amplifier. The Black ā€˜65 Overdrive was born after nine months of design, tweaking and testing ā€“ and some trials and influence by A-list session guitarist Brent Mason.

The pedal features Volume and Gain knobs, as well as a three-band EQ allowing the player to adjust lows, mids and highs to taste. A mini-toggle switch can be engaged to boost the gain taking the pedal beyond the traditional cranked Fender sound.

Details:
*High grade film capacitors and resistors picked for their superior sound and responseā€Ø*
Completely true bypass
*Battery connection and 9v power jack (barrel plug like Boss)
*Controls: Volume, Gain, Bass, Mids, Treble, Gain boost switchā€Ø
* 2.5" x 4.5" in sizeā€Ø
*Ultra-bright LED for ease of useā€Ø
*5 Year Warrantyā€Ø
*Powder coated durable finish
*Completely original circuitryā€Ø
*Stacks well with other pedals

Current Pricing is $199.97 and is available now.

The two guitarists are known for their sympathetic 6-string interplay. They remain as tight as ever, despite setbacks, as they deliver the buoyant, vibrant Circle of Giants, the long-running jam bandā€™s 14th studio record.

Thirty-five years ago, a group of University of Buffalo students gathered in a basement, drank a lot of beer, and played some tunes. They had no goal other than to have fun and party. But it wasnā€™t long before they headed into a studio housed in an apartment above local guitar shop Top Shelf Music to record the debut moe. album, Fatboy. Slowly, the band built a devoted fan base, crisscrossing the country in a van. As they persevered, the band and their audience grew up together, and now itā€™s the fansā€™ children who are discovering the group.
