Description
The Golden Jubilee is Brian Wampler’s take on those fire-breathing amps that defined the sound of the ’80s. This pedal captures the thick, harmonically rich tones of American boutique amps and combines them with the raw, aggressive power of British high-gain monsters. It’s compact enough to fit on any pedalboard, but when you plug in, it delivers the presence of a full stack – without the herniated disc from hauling it around. This is a workhorse pedal built to survive the real world and keep delivering night after night. It’s your complete gain solution: crushing rhythm tones, singing leads, and that extra boost for solos – all in one pedal. No complicated switching or tap-dancing required. The gold-anodised controls against that forest green sparkle finish aren’t just for looks – they’re a statement that this pedal is as bold as it sounds.
Two Legends, One Box
The Golden Jubilee brings together two of Brian Wampler’s favourite amp voices in a single dual-footswitch pedal. The Distortion (DS) channel captures the smooth, articulate punch of those mid 80s high-end California boutique amps, keeping your notes clear even when you’re running heavy gain. It responds fast to your bends and phrasing, and gets you into pinch-harmonic territory without any fight. The Overdrive (OD) channel delivers that saturated, muscular British crunch that’s all over the records you love. It’s built to bloom into rich harmonics and absolutely crushes rhythm work, giving you that tight, percussive chug that players are always chasing when they’re hammering out palm-muted riffs. Stack both channels together, and the Golden Jubilee gives you a massive, exceptionally full tone – perfect for high-energy solos, fast shred runs, and smooth, fusion-style legato playing.
Total Control
The Golden Jubilee was developed to function as a practical dual-drive platform in a single compact footprint, giving players direct control over two independent gain stages. Each channel operates with its own level, gain, and tone controls, making it easy to shape the signal without menu diving or guesswork. Three central toggles provide additional fine-tuning: two character switches that adjust the gain profile on the OD channel and the brightness of the DS channel, and an order switch that changes the stacking sequence of the drives.
Gain and Versatility
When you start dialling it in, the Golden Jubilee shows you what it can really do. Maybe you begin with a warm, responsive overdrive – something expressive and alive. Then, with a quick turn of a knob, it transforms into a modern high-gain monster with musical clarity. Where other pedals lose definition and top-end sizzle, this one stays articulate without sounding wispy. Where many go thin and weak, it stays full and thick without ever getting muddy. Your lead lines cut through with edge, your riffs hit with serious weight, and your rhythm playing stays tight and punchy. From classic rock grit to full-on face-melting distortion, the Golden Jubilee handles multiple genres with clarity and power.
Built for Any Rig
No matter what rig you plug into, the pedal behaves like it was built for it. Into a clean tube amp, it roars with authentic richness; through a solid-state platform, it delivers tonality that feels startlingly realistic; in digital setups, it adds life, warmth, and dimension. Studio players will adore it for consistency, touring musicians for its practicality and build quality, and home players will appreciate how it delivers fire for even the simplest setup. Whatever the situation, it has a way of making your entire rig feel bigger, fuller, and more expressive.
Real amp tones and feel, crafted with precision
At its core, the Golden Jubilee is a celebration of severely awesome guitar tones. What began as a personal milestone evolved into a defining piece of the Wampler story. It captures the essence of two classic amplifier styles from the annals of musical history – and hands y…
