USED Wampler Germanium Tumnus Deluxe w/Box
Transparent Overdrive Pedal in the Style of the Klon Centaur with Germanium Diodes, Gain Switch, 3 Band EQ, buffer switch in Excellent like new condition.
"My Shot at the Ultimate Klon-style Overdrive"... Brian Wampler
What's in a Name?
The Centaur or Horseman brought us chaos and a weakness for wine that, when consumed, could turn them into barbarians hell bent on destruction (!)
The Tumnus, or rather Mr. Tumnus from "Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe" represents humans struggle between cowardice and courage, dishonesty and honesty
He's basically a good(er) guy.
But did Mr Wampler want to get into Mythology while designing this Klon Klone style Pedal?
The Urban Dictionary meaning for Tumnus is to Fawn Over Something AND we all know how much a certain part of the guitar Community Fawns over the Original Klon Pedal!!
So let's go with - To Fawn Over, mostly to a negative degree.
Wampler took the Klon design and ran with it - like most other pedal companies that came up with their own version of the Klon Centaur.
"My Shot at the Ultimate Klon-style Overdrive"
Not only does this pedal offer increased options for Gain Switching, 3 band EQ and switchable buffer but there's more - some may say magic, like the magic with the original Klon!
The Magic comes in the form of the original NOS, very rare (and basically no longer available) Germanium Diodes that are the same as what is in the Original Klon.
Because Wampler only had a few of these Germanium diodes, this was a limited pedal - no longer in production - they're now gone!
It doesn't look like a Klon Klon, but it does what the Klon does and more!
All that magical tone of the original with added versatility and extras!
Most of the "Klones" don't have the same Germanium Diodes as the Originals, but this one does - it's as close to getting an original Klon from the 90's as you're gonna get.
This Used pedal is in excellent condition with original Box, Bag and paperwork.
Almost "Like New" condition!
