Bringing you classic tweed amp style tones that were at the very heart of Rock and Roll… Wampler’s Tweed ’57 pedal will help you create those iconic sounds you know and love!

Coveted by blues, country, and rock players alike – tweed-style amplifiers have been staples in famous musicians’ live and studio setups since their introduction. With their warm and woolly sound and pushed volume tube break-up, the tone of tweed amps have found their way on to numerous historic recordings of some legendary artists such as Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Billy Gibbons, and Joe Bonamassa.

Those historic tweed-style amps and their legendary tones are responsible for the inspiration behind the Wampler Tweed ‘57. This pedal offers a wide tonal palette of sounds and includes several features that you’ve come to expect from Wampler. 

Controls:

• Bypass Switch – A true-bypass footswitch ensures solid, mechanical removal of the circuit when it isn't wanted, meaning you don't lose any tone when the pedal is off.
• Volume – This control adjusts the output level of the Tweed '57. It has a huge range of adjustment, allowing for unity gain or for a real kick-in when you turn it on. How you adjust it is up to you.
• Highs – This control adjusts the amount of focus on the highs in the pedal. It has some interactivity with both the Mids and Bass. Adjusting the Highs has the effect of helping to determine just what sort of tweed does the trick for you. If you know smaller speakers are the key, raise the highs; if you need a more profound cabinet, roll them back a bit. The Tweed '57 won't lose its classic character either way, it's just about establishing the direction you want to go in.
• Middle – Probably one of the most important and distinguishing elements to the tweed tone, the midrange control had to be just right in order to capture as much versatility as possible through as many amps as possible. Learning to adjust this control is vital to dialing in the exact sort of tone you're after, and for that matter making sure it fits your amp properly. Adjusting it will change the whole tonal relationship, so take some time to really get to know it and how it relates to your rig for best results. Various amps had more or less focus on the midrange, but they were all pretty forward, and this control is true to that basic principle, while still allowing range to make the tone work with your amp even if it is naturally midrange-heavy.
• Bass – The Bass knob adjusts the lows, of course, but make sure to take into consideration what makes the various amplifiers that inspired the pedal sound like they do. Think about whether your favorite tone from the 1950s would have a fatter or a thinner sound. That's the real power of this control, providing ample range to dial in your preferred avor, much like the Highs adjustment. Changes subtle and overt are possible, and of course, like the Middle control, it's not just about dialing in a particular sound... You have to be able to adjust the desired tone for your rig as well, a function this control fills quite nicely.
• Gain – To truly represent the full range of sounds available from the historic amps of the period, Brian made sure to have a ton of range on the Gain knob. In conjunction with the Input Simulator, you've got sounds ranging from the very early history of rock to later "rediscovery" of the powerful, pushed tweed sound. Throughout the entire range of gain options, though, one thing remains constant: absolute attention to clarity and touch sensitivity. Your playing will not be compromised by the pedal, regardless of how you adjust it.
• Input Simulator Switch – This three-position switch adjusts between Brian's pedal-scale emulation of the ways that guitarists of the past and the present have used the tweed input sections. In Normal mode, the tone is relatively even, with a push in the mids and with enough gain on tap to start singing with classic grit when you dig in. Bright mode changes the tonality of the pedal to focus more on the presence (so watch that Highs knob!), and that is reected in the gain as well. Linked mode simulates bridging the inputs and running both at once for a hotter sound that's still a bit brighter than Normal mode. Between the Vintage American Tone Structure and the Input Simulator, you've got the tools you need to adjust the Tweed '57 to sound like your preferred amp, through your existing amp, without any additional hassle or multiple pedals or amps needed.
• Power Requirements The pedal can be powered by a 9V battery. The battery terminal is located inside the pedal. If using a power supply, power needed for the pedal is 9V DC, regulated, center pin negative, as supplied by most standard Boss™/Ibanez™/Etc. supplies. The pedal can be safely powered with a multi-supply, like the Visual Sound 1SPOT™. The pedal was designed explicitly around the usage of a 9V DC power source, and is intended to sound its best at 9V. To avoid damage to the pedal, do not exceed 18V DC, do not use center pin positive adapters, and do not use AC power. Using an incorrect power adapter can lead to damage and will void the warranty on the pedal. This pedal draws 3mA.
