Description
Experience the evolution of distortion with the Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe V2 Overdrive Pedal. A successor to its popular predecessor, the Pinnacle Deluxe, this pedal boasts an array of enhanced features and a more versatile sound range.
Equipped with a 3-band EQ, the Pinnacle Deluxe V2 allows you to sculpt your tone like never before. It also features bright and bass boosts for a fresh tone or the thump of a 4x12. The pedal also offers a "Valve Screamer" based pre-gain boost that you can use even when the pedal is bypassed.
One of the standout features of the Pinnacle Deluxe V2 is the SAG switch. This feature enables you to remove that saggy crunch and tighten the response dramatically. Whether you're chasing the Brown Sound or classic rock, amp overdrive or screaming metal, the Pinnacle Deluxe V2 can do it all.
Designed with the modern musician in mind, the pedal's Boost function adds a screamer-style punch to your guitar tone. The Modern/Vintage toggle switch shapes the character of your tone, while the Boost/Gain toggle switch restructures the pedal's gain-staging to elevate you above the mix.
Key Features:
- British-voiced amp-in-a-box overdrive pedal
- Powerful 3-band EQ optimizes the pedal for your amplifier
- Independently switchable Boost function delivers screamer-style punch
- Modern/Vintage toggle switch re-voices the character of the pedal
- Boost/Gain toggle switch restructures the pedal's gain-staging for more gain
- Side-mounted sag switch tightens the pedal's low end
- Gain knob goes from rock 'n' roll to metal
- True bypass switching
- Convenient top-mounted jacks
- Handmade in the USA
