Here’s what Wampler say about the Wampler ReWired Brent Mason Signature Overdrive and Distortion Pedal:
Brent Mason is one of the most recorded guitarists in history. The ReWired brings you his signature sound in a pedal – now evolved, refined, and redefined.
The guitar has always been in Brent Mason’s DNA. Growing up in a musical family, with both parents and grandparents playing, Brent would wake up, grab the guitar from the foot of his bed, and practice for hours – sometimes 4-5 hours straight. There’s no shortcut to mastering his skill, but there is a shortcut to getting his legendary tone. Introducing the all-new Wampler Brent Mason ReWired – an ultra-versatile, 2-channel Overdrive and Distortion pedal that delivers an incredible range of essential tones for every guitarist.
Brent Mason’s career as a session guitarist spans over five decades, making him one of the most recorded musicians in history. His unparalleled talent has graced more than 1,000 albums, playing with and contributing to chart-topping hits from icons like Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Vince Gill, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, Shania Twain, and many others. A Grammy winner and Musicians Hall of Fame inductee, Brent has also earned twelve Guitarist of the Year awards from the Academy of Country Music, two CMA Musician of the Year titles, and was named one of the top ten session guitarists ever by Guitar World magazine.
Brian Wampler’s journey with Brent Mason began way back around 2004, when he’d make weekend trips to Nashville just to watch Brent play. Inspired by Brent’s incredible talent and effortless touch, Brian set out to craft a signature pedal that would become the cornerstone of Brent’s sound. The Overdrive channel perfectly captures Brent’s iconic rhythm tones, offering everything from crystal-clear light dirt to a punchy, muscular Overdrive. The Distortion channel screams with rich harmonics, making it ideal for solos – whether used on its own or stacked with the Overdrive for maximum impact.
This is a hard working pedal crafted for one of the hardest working musicians on the planet for use by all guitarists as the backbone for a fantastic tone. Brent wouldn’t use fancy words to convince you about his playing, he’d just play, and we are not going to use any to describe this pedal.
An Iconic Tone, Reimagined
With two fully independent circuits, the ReWired gives you access to both classic Overdrive and powerful Distortion channels that have been tweaked to Brent’s exact specs. The Overdrive side is perfect for rhythm and Chicken Pickin’ – built for warmth and maximum clarity, staying true to Brent’s iconic sound. The Distortion channel is a perfect lead tone and offers a weighty “British” Plexi-like punch. The ReWired also features an order switch that allows the stacking direction to be changed on-the-fly without the hassle of changing cables.

Dual inputs and Outputs
The ReWired can be connected with a single mono input and output cable, just like a regular guitar pedal, or you can connect each channel independently (very useful when used with a loop switcher!). You can even connect a pedal in between both channels – try adding a compressor or an EQ if you want to sculpt your tone further.
Fat Blends
The ReWired incorporates our unique “Fat” circuit control onto each channel as separate knobs. This allows you to dial in just the right amount of low end thump and presence into your rig – helping tame big speaker cabs or enhance smaller ones. The Overdrive channel also has Brent’s signature blend control, allowing you to tune the amount of drive to your liking.
ReWired – for ALL players
This is not a guitar pedal to be bought and put in a case and admired – but with its exclusive new Prime Silver finish (a nod to Brent’s infamous ‘67 Telecaster) and custom graphics we wouldn’t blame you if you did. The Wampler ReWired is designed to be at the heart of your rig. It sounds great with every guitar and amp we’ve tried it with and covers so many genres of music with ease.
