Wampler Triumph Overdrive
Wampler · pedal
The Wampler Triumph Overdrive combines elements of two of Brian Wampler's favorite overdrives, the DigiTech Bad Monkey and the Boss SD-1, adding extra EQ stages and internal circuit refinements for polished, glassy overtones beyond either original circuit. A 2-position voicing switch selects Smooth or Punch modes: Smooth delivers a progressive gain structure with gritty presence and a classic mid-hump profile, while Punch adds low-end aggression while remaining clean-up-able via the guitar's volume knob. Gain, Volume, and a 3-band EQ round out the controls, part of Wampler's Collective Series.
