Dual-voice Distortion Versatility
Wampler’s Phenom Distortion pedal is a no-frills addition to the Collective Series, providing guitarists with searing high-gain tones for a wallet-friendly price! This little stompbox boasts a massive range of tonal possibilities, courtesy of the dual-voice design that allows you to switch between the smooth sounds of Classic mode and the cutting bite of Bright mode. A full 3-band EQ makes it a breeze to sculpt the Phenom’s response, while the gain knob takes you from a light bark all the way to a screaming saturation-drenched roar. Premium components, a masterful build quality, and a myriad of high-octane dirt tones at a budget price: the Phenom is all but guaranteed to become a modern Wampler classic!

Two distinct tonal voices
The Phenom’s split personality is unlocked with the flip of a 2-way switch, taking you between Classic mode and Bright mode for incredible tonal flexibility.
- Classic mode: If you’re after silky-smooth breakup with a focused bottom end, Classic mode will be your setting of choice. This mode is particularly sensitive to pickup choices, producing a clear and dynamic saturation when played through a clean amp with single coils, while humbuckers unlock a high-octane saturation that screams when pushed through an amp on the edge of breakup.
- Bright mode: As the name suggest, bright mode kicks up the highs and sounds clear, glassy, and articulate. This mode is perfect for cutting through a mix, allowing even the most complex of lines to shine and shimmer with clarity.
Wampler Collective series
The boutique revolution has been a godsend to the world’s tone chasers, providing guitarists with more sonic options than at any other point in the guitar’s history. However, assembling a dream board packed full of boutique creations can quickly topple a budget, especially if you're after the best the stompbox world has to offer. Wampler’s Collective series aims to change that, built to provide guitarists with top-of-the-line tones, all at a significantly lower cost than your typical boutique box. While the visuals and aesthetics are trimmed down, each pedal in the Collective series features the same premium components and uncompromising dedication to tone for which Sweetwater’s guitarists have come to rely on.
