USER GUIDE
The now legendary Wampler Pantheon provided a unique interpretation of the classic
“Blues Breaker” style stomp box, by capturing all the tonal nuance of the original, but with
added flexibility and style. In doing so, it found its way onto thousands of pedalboards
across the world.
Enter the new
Pantheon Deluxe
– a dual overdrive pedal that takes this evolution several
steps further by offering a flexible design with two completely independent Pantheon
circuits, one voiced as a classic blues breaker and one with a more modern boutique
sound. This palace of tone delivers a staggering 200 combinations of gain settings,
featuring dual Inputs and Outputs, and for the first time ever, Wampler have added
MIDI channel switching to one of their gain pedals.
The
Pantheon Deluxe
lets you dial in two channels of organic creamy gain, gritty
overdrive, or heavy distortion while retaining Wampler’s famous ease of use and
flexibility. Channel 1 delivers a classic Blues Breaker tone, Channel 2 is a recreation of
the original Pantheon, a similar circuit to the Blues Breaker but with a modern boutique feel.
Independent side mounted Voicing and Gain Level switches allow you to further shape your tone to
perfection.
Combining both channels will unleash a whole new world of crisp, harmonic distortion possibilities. You can easily swap the
stacking order, without changing cabling, via the front-mounted Order switch. Optional independent inputs and outputs
allow you to: split each channel in a loop switcher, insert a pedal or chain of pedals between each side, or run the pedal in
stereo to dual amplifiers. With the addition of MIDI In and Out, you can now also switch the analog channels of each circuit
on and off with a MIDI switcher - saving you valuable hardware loops on your loop switcher (if it also operates your midi
controls).
Each Channel of the
Pantheon Deluxe
Dual Overdrive feature independent Gain, Level, Treble, and Bass controls to
enhance the shaping of your tone. The Baxandall-style active Bass control is neutral at noon but boasts an extremely
powerful sweep as you move through the range. A single global Presence control simultaneously alters each channel to add
just the right amount of top-end chime to suit different guitars and amplifiers - perfect for when playing live or when in the
studio.
The native sound of this style of pedal has passed the test of time. We are sure that with the advanced connectivity, and vast
array of stacking options, you are going to love the flexibility and sheer grunt of the
Pantheon Deluxe
Dual Overdrive.
