Wampler Pedals
Ecstasy
WAS: $260
NOW: $230
Category: Overdrive
Earlier this year, I was working on creating a pedal that would go from clean tones to distorted tones while adding a bit of warmth. I wanted something for myself that would be dynamic, have a great sounding "gritty" tone to it yet be able to respond to the volume knob like a tube amp. I'm a big fan of dynamics and if a pedal can't work with me dynamically I just can't use it. Out of this search, I developed the Ecstasy Drive.
The Ecstasy is my take on that elusive "dumble" tone and feel - smooth creaminess yet crunchy when you need it to be. Very responsive tone controls that interact with the pedal - they don't just 'color' the sound. They actually affect the response and feel of the pedal, just like a great tube amp.
The newest version is the same as the bigger box version in the videos, it is just in a smaller box.
Specifications:
- High grade film capacitors and resistors picked for their superior sound and response
- Completely true bypass
- Battery connection and 9v power jack (barrel plug like Boss)
- 4 knobs - Volume/gain/bass/treble
- Switch goes from overdrive setting to distortion setting (soft clipping to hard clipping)
- 2.5" x 4.5" in size
- Meant to be played loud through a tube amp, but sounds great at lower levels as well
- Ultra-bright LED for ease of use
- Battery connection and 9v power jack (barrel plug like Boss)
- Powder coated durable finish
- Completely original circuitry
