Wampler Signature Brad Paisley Drive Deluxe

Description

here at Just Pedals we love this Wampler Signature Brad Paisley Drive Deluxe.

The Brad Paisley Signature Drive from Wampler is a modern classic in every sense of the word. Hugely popular for essentially giving you the country legend’s warm and articulate crunch sound, Wampler has taken this established formula and made it bigger and better!

Following a 2-in-1 format, the Paisley Drive Deluxe features the circuit from the original Paisley stompbox but combines it with a Wampler classic – the Underdog. Discontinued for years, Paisley convinced Wampler to resurrect this rare circuit so that his two favourite drive sounds are together in perfect harmony.

And the result? The Paisley Drive Deluxe!

2 Pedals in 1

The Wampler Paisley Drive Deluxe is a super-versatile pedal, giving you two flavours of overdrive that can be wired completely independently of each other. With inputs and outputs for each “side”, you can run this pedal with a switching system and still route them alone for ultimate control over your tones.

With the Paisley Drive side delivering a transparent drive that retains plenty of top-end, complementing Paisley’s recognisably delicate style, the Underdog is a slightly warmer-sounding flavour, with lots of mid-range push and gain on tap. The Deluxe therefore gives you the best of both worlds, providing you with a bright and mix-piercing drive as well as a smoother crunch that sounds amazing for leads. 

But the best part about this pedal’s design is that you can “stack” the overdrives. This means that you can run them one into the other for a thicker and more harmonically rich sound. Depending on how you route the inputs and outputs, you can run the overdrives separately, Underdog (Channel 1) into Paisley (Channel 2) or Paisley into Underdog.

Powerful EQ

The Paisley drive is considered an “amp-in-a-box” style overdrive, providing a convincing tube-driven tone and feel. But controlling this circuit is incredibly simple, with conventional Gain and Volume controls letting you set the amount of distortion and output respectively, and a single Tone control letting you tweak the high-end presence.

However, the Underdog is a completely different beast. With a powerful 3-band active EQ, you have all the tools at your disposal to tweak your perfect drive sound. A fat switch on Channel 1 also gives your signal an increase in gain, along with more low-mid content to deliver a much fatter tone.

Here's what Wampler say about the Paisley Drive Deluxe:

Wampler's relationship with Brad Paisley goes back to a time way before his signature Paisley Drive pedal…. in fact, thanks to the way it produced similar tones to the lauded Nobels ODR-S with more control for fine-tuning his sound, the first Wampler pedal Brad fell in love with was the since-discontinued Underdog overdrive.

It's with this in mind that Wamp
