Wampler ReWired
Wampler · pedal
The Wampler ReWired is Brent Mason's signature two-channel overdrive and distortion, an evolution of his earlier Hot Wired refined to his exact specifications. The overdrive channel captures Mason's rhythm tones, running from crystal-clear light dirt to a punchy, muscular drive with the tight articulation his country and session work demands. The distortion channel is warm and moderate but rich in harmonics, aimed at lead work either alone or stacked with the overdrive for maximum weight. An Order control swaps the arrangement of the two channels with a switch, changing how they interact when stacked. Premium build to Wampler's usual standard.
