Two Killer Overdrives in a Single Pedal

The 2-channel Wampler Tom Quayle Dual Fusion overdrive pedal is a blending of the Wampler Paisley Drive and the Wampler Euphoria overdrive into a single pedal. Each channel contains the best that each pedal has to offer with slight tweaks that were specified by fusion maestro Tom Quayle. The Dual Fusion delivers amazing tonal transparency and a tighter and controlled response on the low end. This pedal keeps true to the sound of your guitar and amp. Two pedals in one, the Tom Quayle Dual Fusion is undoubtedly one of the most versatile dirt boxes you'll ever plug into. Use either channel or stack them for astonishingly ginormous sound. You even get to choose how they are stacked to achieve that perfect sound. Take your tone to new heights with the Wampler Tom Quayle Dual Fusion overdrive pedal.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

My favorite now

I have owned a lot of Wampler pedals and this has become one of my favorites. It is now my main drive stacking at the end of od chain: Tumnus, Pantheon, Dual Fusion. I personally love channel 1 through channel 2 but only using channel 1. One of the cleanest drive tones I have ever had. Responsive to pick attack as well. This replaced a hot wired.

Great sound - super versatile!

Like many guitarists, I've tried and owned a seemingly endless string of distortion and overdrive pedals starting with an MXR Distortion + back in 1976! They have all had their strengths and weaknesses but generally seem to do one thing well at the expense of most everything else.
My playing style is somewhat unusual in that I play fingerstyle/single coils for every genre of music but still need to get good singing lead tones in addition to 'edge of breakup' sounds for different songs when gigging.
So far I am tremendously pleased with the Dual Fusion v2. It's individual channel sound are great on their own but with the internal jumper you essentially have three different sounds in one pedal without touching anything but the super smooth footswitches.
Channel 1 for anything from clean boost to "D" amp-like warmth, Channel 2 for a more aggressive 'modern' overdriven sound, and CH1 into CH2 (or the other way around) for some tremendous overdriven singing lead tones and heavier crunch.
Super versatile, great tones, well built.
I do want to mention that this is a bright pedal but the individual tone controls are fully capable of taming it.

Exactly as the demo video describes

I’m tweaking a Wampler Fusion for a pop variety band that requires half dozen quickly accessible and wildly varied dirt settings. Using humbuckers for the most part, (Gibson, D’Angelico), with an occasional Strat HSS. Depending on venue I might plug the Wampler into a digital modeler through a QSC K12, or go analog into one of several Fender tube amps.

I find the right channel transparent and somewhat dry, more like a low gain amp distortion than a tube screamer. Stays bright but doesn’t get brittle. I’ve gotten in the habit of leaving it on sixty percent of the time - it’s nicely touch responsive and adds some sparkle when the volume pot is low, turns into a righteous classic rock-blues sound cranked.

The left channel is dark, remaining tight with ample gain - no rumble, no fizz. It really shines for me in series after channel one, giving it bite, clarity and super sustain at solo levels without sounding like an electric kazoo. (For the occasional grunge tune I feed that combined signal into an external digital distortion and get a wall of white noise suitable to derail nearby train cars.)

The plug and switching options produce a lot of useful variations, but liking a tighter and slightly compressed sound I’ve settled on setup 1-2, throaty and smooth.

The box itself is what I expected for the price - solid, good hardware, clean switches, pot shafts are tight. Though I’m on humbuckers and Tom Quayle is on single coils I would describe the sounds exactly as he does in the demo - tight, refined. Works exceptionally well for the commercial bands I’m with and brings out my happy smile playing smooth jazz or bop-fusion. Minor variations in response from digital modeler to tube, but kicks major butt both ways. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

Dual Fusion

I've been playing guitar a very long time, although I don't shred any where close to Tom. However, what I have learned over the past 30 years is manipulating tone through pick positioning as well as handling the fret board. That said, I've never been able to find pedals that react the way this pedal does. It reacts just as Tom outlines in his Dual Fusion demo videos, "it reacts like an amp would". This was mind blowing for me. The last pedal I bought was an MXR 5150 and while it's good at what it does, I would not say that it's "amp like" in feel. If all Wampler pedals feel like the DF, I just became a Wampler pedal fan boy.. I'll be trying more soon!
Cool part is I bought this to play with the worship team at church, up until now I was using my own amp (TC50) for gain, and an assortment of effects. Now, I just walk in with the DF on the pedal board and use the clean channel of a Dual Rec that belongs to the church! Life simplified! Thanks Wampler! Another side bar, I'm a metal guy but have many appreciations for multiple styles, and this pedal just simply rocks!!

Sounds like a tube amp

I don't buy alot of pedals, especially overdive/distortion pedals, but the Tom Quayle videos really made me want to try this one, because I've tried to listen to as many overdrive boxes as could before deciding which one to buy. I've bought and sold many amps and even had an early Mesa/Boogie Mark 1 bought in '74 so I usually just overdrive the preamp/poweramp tubes for sustain and distortion tones. But you have to crank the amp to get a really nice sound. But the Dual Fusion is really getting good at getting that cranked-up tube sound. Channel One sounds ALOT like that old MARK 1, really tubey and open. Channel Two is a more modern sound, darker. Chaining them gives a really overdriven, saturated sound that sustains forever
It never sounds harsh either, just really fat, and the switches let you choose from Smooth/Fat on Ch. 1 and Throaty/Natural on Ch. 2. Lots of options, combinations. Will be using this for a long time!

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Mike Winebrenner

Usually when I bring home a new toy, it's met with rolled eyes and a large sigh from the missus. The Wampler Dual Fusion Overdrive Pedal has been the one exception (even if it was initially just because it looked "pretty"). Ultimately though, it is the tone I have been able to get out of the pedal that's won her seal of approval. Having two pedals in one and optional routing gives me some amazing tonal capabilities. The Paisley Drive right side is a huge benefit because of its signature clean and beefy tones. Combining it with the crunchy and warm overdrive tones with the back end of the Euphoria creates a wonderful pedal experience. It sounds amazing - and she likes it- so what more would I want from a pedal?
