Wampler Paisley Drive Deluxe
Wampler · pedal
The Wampler Paisley Drive Deluxe is a dual-mode expansion of Brad Paisley's signature overdrive, ranging from dark and brooding to bright and punchy while letting the guitar's own voice come through as it shapes the grit. It covers everything from a transparent boost and subtle country push through to rich, articulate distortion and heavier, harmonically packed gain, staying punchy with less compressed dynamics than many overdrives and cleaning up naturally with the guitar volume. The Deluxe version adds a second selectable mode for extra tonal range beyond the original single-circuit Paisley Drive. Designed to add beef and hair without ever sounding like a pedal, it suits country twang through bluesy crunch and aggressive rock.
