Andy Wood Signature Overdrive Pedal

Developed with guitar phenom Andy Wood, the Gearbox dual overdrive pedal packs two of Wampler's most revered drive circuits into one feature-packed stompbox. Channel one is a tweaked version of the Tumnus — Wampler's take on the legendary transparent OD. Channel two is based on a modified Pinnacle circuit, arming you with hot-rodded British-style distortion by the truckload. The Gearbox boasts plenty of sound-shaping controls for each channel, and it permits you to change the stacking order of the circuits for added versatility. You also get a high-quality noise gate, plus separate I/O for each channel to accommodate complex routing schemes. Running a transparent overdrive into a modded British-style stack is considered by many to be the apex of electric guitar tone, and the Wampler Gearbox serves it to you on a silver platter.

Two independent channels in a single stompbox

The Wampler Gearbox dual overdrive pedal features two independent circuits in one enclosure. Channel one is a tweaked version of the Tumnus circuit, with Level, Tone, and Gain knobs. Channel two is a modified Pinnacle circuit, with Gain, Level, Bass, Mids, and Treble knobs. Channel two also boasts a Gate control for filtering out unwanted noise. The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate having two independently footswitchable channels at our disposal. Plus, this pedal's built-in noise gate ensures a studio-ready, stage-ready sound.

Extensive I/O and flexible switching

For a super-versatile overdrive, look no further than the Gearbox. This stompbox includes two pairs of input and output jacks — one for each channel. This permits you to connect both channels independently (to a switcher, for example). Even if you only use one input and output, the Gearbox's Order switch allows you to change the stacking order of the circuits for added sonic flexibility. There's an impressive amalgam of tones lurking in the Gearbox. But what do you expect from a guitar pedal with Andy Wood's name on it?

Fantastic

It quickly became my go to distortion pedal. A Pinnacle and Tumnus circuits with a gate in one box? Yep. Sign me up and I wasn't disappointed. I paired it with the new Quilter Superblock US & it's an extraordinary duo. Here's a video I did an hour after getting both of them. They've been my rig ever since. Well done, Wampler!
Rated 5/5

A great pedal!

I really enjoy this pedal! I slimmed down my board for playing some 80s rock music and the versatility of this pedal gives me the sound I need. I really enjoy the ability to change the order of the overdrive and distortion, plus the built-in gate works really well. This is one of my favorite pedals.
Music background: Guitar player - covers and originals.

Amazing pedal!

Great pedal, very versatile.Very easy to dial in settings. The noise gate is marvelous! Very happy purchase.

Screaming machine, tone, Tone, TONE!

The Gearbox is a Tonal monster. I have a Dual Fusion on my board and a Pantheon for my main go between drives with a Tumnus in the always on position. I cannot part with my DF as channel 1 is just pure tonal bliss for me. However, the Dual Fusion and the Gearbox are totally different pedals in circuitry and sound. I Like the Pantheon but between it and the DF, there is no contest for me.

The Gearbox driving both channels is like a supercharged Klon through a Marshall and it just squawks tone. Go check out Andy Wood's demo of (his) this pedal. Tom Quayle did a nice one too and of course Brian Wampler's is a must see. I love Wampler pedals. Brian Wampler makes some of the best pedals hands down. The Gearbox was definitely on the higher boutique end but to me, worth every penny.
Rated 5/5

Great platform for inspiration

Love this pedal there are so many sound options and you can start with everything at noon it sounds great there then dial up the perfect sound for whatever you need. It sits nicely wherever you place it in the chain and plays well with other pedals. Not leaving my board anytime soon.
