The Perfect Pedal Platform?
The Wampler Bravado tube combo amplifier brings new meaning to the concept of sonic purity. Every aspect of this amp is designed to create the ultimate clean platform for your pedals, with all the punch and sparkle you'd expect from a premium tube amplifier. While some great-sounding amps completely fall apart when you engage your fuzz pedal, the Wampler Bravado remains tight and focused. And where some amps cause reverb and delay effects to flatten and confuse your tone, the Bravado handles them with depth and detail. Complete with a custom active effects loop — designed with master amp builder Dave Friedman — the Wampler Bravado tube head is the perfect amp to get the best sound out of your effects pedals.

40 watts of clean, vibrant tube tone
As a modern master of effects pedals, Brian Wampler knows what an amp needs to play nicely with pedals. The Bravado tube combo packs 40 watts of power with 6L6 power tubes, which offer impressively clean headroom through the entire volume range. A six-position Bright switch plus Bass, Middle, and Treble tone controls are all you need to fine-tune the amp's response to your guitar and pedal chain. And a Fat switch is present to add extra low-end power if you need it. Your guitar will ring out with plenty of harmonic complexity and detail, and you'll be ready to hear your pedals sound better than they ever have.
Custom active effects loop designed with Dave Friedman
We've played countless guitar amplifiers here at Sweetwater, and we know that some effects loops can have a negative effect on your tone. Some can dull your tone, or even make your pedals sound brighter than they should sound. Brian Wampler and amp guru Dave Friedman know it too, and they joined forces to create the custom series effects loop in the Bravado head. Delay and reverb effects have depth and detail, while modulation effects take on the fullest dimension your pedals can offer.
