Wampler Euphoria Overdrive Pedal
Wampler Euphoria Overdrive Pedal Reviews
The Wampler Euphoria overdrive pedal takes your guitar tone all the way from clean to super-crunchy with outstanding warmth, creaminess, and responsiveness. In the design of the Euphoria, noted pedal guru Brian Wampler targeted the coveted Dumble amp sound as a starting point. With the Euphoria in your signal chain, you've got organic control over your dynamics, jacking up the grit with your guitar's volume knob and how hard you dig into the strings - just like a tube amp. If your collection of overdrive pedals is gathering dust, then get the Wampler Euphoria - you'll never unplug.

Wampler Euphoria Overdrive Pedal
This is my first Wampler pedal as I've been having a love of J Rockett pedals as well as Origin Effects pedals for awhile and wanted to check out something similar for what I was after sound wise. This pedal is awesome! It has a great sound and is very well thought out, the three way switch works very well and the bass knob interacts extremely well with the tone knob, built well, and exceeded my expectations considerably. I Highly recommend this pedal and yes, it's got the dumblesque thing going on very nicely!! Thank You Brian Wampler for superb work! And Jared Kalish at Sweetwater for always dealing a straight hand!! Once again , Five Star Service! Top notch Pedal!
Everything I was looking for in a D-type OD
Perfect! I love this pedal! I play blues and this pedal is perfect. I am running it between a Princeton and a Strat and the sound is heaven. I don't try to sound like other players, just want my own sound and this pedal provides that in spades. Don't get me wrong, with it I can do the Vaughan or the Shepherd sound and also an edgy Bonamassa but...it allows me to sound how I want to sound. I particularly like the way I can change the crunch with the guitar volume knob (it is extremely touch responsive as well).
This is (for me) the perfect OD pedal.
Thanks Sweetwater and Thanks Brian Wampler for this beauty of a drive.
Disappointed
I bought this to be an alternate overdrive to my Tumnus. I had high hopes for the Dumble-ness of it. For me, this pedal disappoints with the 4 recommended settings and everything else I have tried. I play USA strats and tells through a Fender Deluxe Reverb. This one is a big swing and a miss for me.
Outstanding
If you are looking for that "Dumble" sound, this is the pedal you want. It has a lush, thick sound. I absolutely love the way this pedal sounds.
Very sweet indeed.
This OD is very versatile , I can go from a Dumblesque Robben Ford sound to a Holdsworth singing solo sound ,it depends on the guitar & amp combination I use with it, try it you will like it.
Great pedal.
This thing sounds really good! My third Wampler overdrive. Got the Tumnus Deluxe, Pantheon, then this. I prefer the Smooth or Open settings, Bass on Min, Gain and Tone about (10-11) O clock. Also stacks well with Tumnus in front to push the mids a bit, or with my Keeley Comp after for a tad more sustain. This is a keeper. Thanks to Nolan at Sweetwater for answering the multitude of questions I have had, and giving me a bit of the bigger picture if what is available.
Wampler Euphoria
This is a well-constructed and very versatile pedal. Unlike some you might own or consider, when you dial in your sound on the Euphoria, the controls are immediately responsive. Knobs that actually do something! You can play everything from pushed blues to rock crunch to a simmering grind. That's what I admire most: the versatility and wide range of sounds all in one pedal. Even after the cool demo, I still have a lot to learn about the Euphoria. I have a couple of other high-quality overdrives, and as much as I like them, this one doesn't fail to perform or impress. There are no gimmicks about this armor-plated beauty; it's the real deal. The sales engineers at Sweetwater will answer all of your questions and fix you right up!
Wampler Euphoria
Very pleased with this pedal. It is really versatile and easy to understand. Add this to your board-- I think you'll like it as much as I do.
Holy smokes
This pedal sounds fantastic and is super versatile. This is my third wampler I put on my board. It teams up really nicely with the clarksdale. To be honest I was underwhelmed at first. It took a little bit of tweaking to get her to sing. That's not a bad thing. Each knob is highly interactive with the next so in reality it gives you a wider range in tones depending on what you're looking for. For my playing, a girthy gritty tone is what I like and the euphoria more than delivers. This pedal really blows me away. Couldn't be happier. As always nick Graham is the man.
Awesome
The sound of this pedal is great, its the sound I have been looking for quite some time. Its increases the high end of your guitar like no other, I actually have to turn the tone knobs down. It works great with other pedals too.
Euphoria should be a boost pedal
Great for boosts but just doesn't have a smooth distortion sound. Just sounds like you're pushing the amp and it's cracking up a lot. I've had this pedal for about two years now so I feel like I can't honestly say these things. It sounds great with other pedals though and build quality is perfect.
OK
I'm returning it because it was not what I expected. As a pure distortion it worked fine but as a device that would keep it cleaner when picking softer it wasn't working for me. It's just not for me but it could be perfect for you !
Pure Nirvana !!
I find myself reaching for a thesaurus trying to describe this panel. I fell in love with it immediately! It is definitely a keeper and will remain on my board for quite some time. I haven’t found a bad tone in it yet and it stacks nicely with my other gain pedals. Brian Wampler he is a genius when it comes to overdrive pedal’s....
Grande pedal

Wampler Euphoria
Great pedal with clean, smooth, and crunch overdrives that seem to be matched perfectly to every amp. Great service from my salesman and the Sweetwater staff.
Mogami gold interconnects are worth every penny. Louder than most interconnects because they pass more signal.
Wampler product quality & support
I love this pedal for singing leads, great sustain & smoothness. Very impressed that Wampler stands by their product. All their products sound superb, and are well-built.
With the right amp...
When I bought this pedal, I was playing it through a Marshall SL5. It was OK... not great, not bad. I've recently sold the Marshall and have a Supro and WOW, that's the sound I was hoping for. Smooth mode is singing, sweet, everything it is cracked up to be. But I prefer it in the Open mode, gain low, an always on pedal. Wampler makes some fantastic pedals (I have 4).
Pretty decent pedal.
I haven't messed with it enough to get the tone I was hoping for, but today after owning it for about a year I finally got a decent tone. It's a little muddy too me needs more mids, but I'm sure you can achieve the sound you want by tweaking it a bit, but I'm wanting something more simple like a TS-9. It's pretty versatile and sounds better with a single coils than with humbuckers to me. I'm a sucker for over drives, I own a lot, but I think I'd rather have spend less than 200 on something simple. I'm sure it's worth the money, but honestly I'm probably going to sell it and get something else. It's just missing an element of the tone I'm always working towards. I would recommend it though to anyone, I'm just on a tone quest that seems to be never ending.
Most versatile drive I have
I own well over a dozen overdrive pedals, this is the best one for me so far and that includes my King of Tone and the Tim. This pedal hits the sweet spot for me in a way the other don't quite do it. Don't get me wrong, I still love those pedals and use them but the euphoria has just the right amount of hair and chime for me. Also, I didn't like this pedal the first time I played it until I watched Brian's video on it, you have to keep the bass knob low if you're looking for a good rock tone.
One of my favorite pedals
It is fairly difficult to get a pedal that works for a Wurlizter EP, at least for my playing style. I don't like loosing the edges of the keyboard, and I don't like loosing the speaking note quality. Most guitar pedals are heavily EQ'd and the sort of clipping somehow doesn't work. This one does, and the three settings have meaningfully different characters. This swapped out a Green Rhino 2, which is also a great pedal, but I prefer this one for the EP 200.
The "One"
After 20 years of searching, I finally found the pedal I've been looking for. Versatile...Responsive....And Beautiful tones. If you want a pedal to get a smooth crunch, a mid level grind, or a solid Dumble drive this is it.
Best od i have ever owned
Very transparent overdrive. By far the best overdrive i have ever used. Just buy it you will not regret it.
High Expectations, Higher Satisfaction
Wonderful
I've had this pedal over 6 months now. Thought it was pretty good.......until I took it off my board trying to downsize. I didn't realize how great this pedal really is. I will never consider getting rid of it......never.
Euphoric
I had to give this pedal five stars, because they don't six.
luv it
Wampler makes some great pedals you really cannot miss with buying their products and you certainly cannot miss when you buy from Sweetwater .,and having a friend such as Bart Amburn DOES NOT HURT EITHER, good at getting the product out to you as fast as possible and giving advise is great here thanks Bart i don"t know of any online service as good as Sweetwater and you,thanks again
Dumble tone and feel in a box.
Great overdrive pedal. A serious upgrade for my pedalboard. It like having an entire amp on tap.
Love this pedal
Articulate overdrive, and when you lower the volume on the guitar it cleans up real nice. It also has a nice 'touch' to it ... excellent for Jazz/Blues, Blues or Fusion. Wampler rocks!
Fantastic overdrive
It's every bit as good as other reviews say it is and video demos make it seem. Very good balance of simplicity and versatility. It works extremely well with other overdrives. I have a JHS Morning Glory and a Mad Professor Sweet Honey. These both sound good by themselves, but when stacked, they're thin. I wanted something that would enhance them when added, and this pedal is definitely it! The tone and bass knobs make it possible to match just about any set up, along with the three modes. It's deliciously transparent, and cleans up very nice with rolling back the volume or picking lighter. Just an amazing pedal that is very hard to complain about!
Really versatile and responsive
It's the closest thing I've heard to a Dumble sound through my tube amp. It's super transparent, super responsive and super organic. It cleans up when you roll the volume down and breaks up when you roll the volume up. It covers it all. It's a great overdrive pedal and you can crank up the gain to get a great distortion sound. If it broke today I'd buy another one tomorrow.
this pedal delivers
This is a great distortion box, I think it leans a little more to distortion than to OD, but that's ok because the pick ups on the guitar think it's hitting a tube amp and not a dirt box, so you can get all that volume knob goodness. Not a lot of pedals react this way in my experience. It's super flexible, kind of like a higher gain Fulltone Full Drive 2. It sounds a little fuller than the Fulltone to my ears as well. With the bass and gain cranked, it gets a little fuzzy, especially on the "smooth" setting, but in a really pleasant way. Seems to like humbuckers and single coils equally, but my Strat with Lollars was MAGIC on all settings of the pedal. Les Pauls with buckers or P90s sounded great as well. Worked equally well thru amps with 6V6s or EL-84s.
excellent overdrive/distortion pedal
Great sounding od/dist pedal. Very versatile. it will take time to get a handle on all the tone-shaping features. Not as transparent as the paisley, but huge sounding. Well made.
2nd best overdrive.
I've owned over 70 overdrive pedals. I'd rate this the 2nd best I've ever used. It offers everything from clean warmth to distortion really. It has 3 different modes making it very versatile. You can dig in to rock, pick notes and actually hear them defined (Something very few over drives do well if at all) You can purchase this with no worry of regret in my opinion. It's magic plugging into most all Wampler pedals, and this one is no exception. A lot of pedals give you a basic sound, but few are actually inspirational in tone. This is one you wont be disappointing with.
