The Wampler Phenom is a dynamic distortion pedal that offers up a range of inspiring tones — from a deep, punchy rhythm sound to an ultra-responsive lead tone perfect for soaring solos and crisp harmonics. It has a flexible voicing switch that selects between either 'Classic' or 'Bright' modes, independent gain and volume controls, and a powerful 3-band EQ (bass, mids and treble).

Classic & Bright Modes

In 'Classic' mode, the Phenom Distortion delivers a smooth yet tight low-end sound. Through a clean amp and single-coils, this is the most dynamic of distortions — with an open, organic presence. Play Phenom through humbuckers and a dirty amp, and you'll unleash a fire-breathing monster! The 'Bright' mode adds a glassy harmonic overtone which can accentuate different playing techniques and cuts through in any live mix. Phenom is a flexible and extremely musical distortion pedal with an original Brian Wampler circuit that's destined to become a classic.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion clips the waveform more firmly than overdrive, generating dense upper harmonics, longer sustain and a more compressed response. Circuit topology and filtering decide whether the sound is tight and focused, broad and aggressive, smooth or deliberately abrasive. Gain sets the amount of clipping, while pre- and post-distortion tone controls strongly influence low-end definition, midrange presence and high-frequency texture.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.
