Uber Aggressive Fuzz

Wampler Pedals introduces the Leviathan Fuzz 31-Mar-11

Here's what Wampler Pedals has to say about their new Leviathan Fuzz:

We keep on getting asked about a Fuzz pedal. Do we do one, can you do one... Basically, we got the message.

So, we did what we always do, Brian locked himself away and when he emerged sometime later to show us what he had, it was clear he had created a monster... A pedal so aggressive, so tonally destructive we seriously considered whether it was right for us to release it.

What we at Wampler Pedals do is make pedals that retain your tone and add to it, not smash it into a million pieces. Once we had got over the sheer brutality of it, we noticed something strange... Something about the sound... Brian has created an uber aggressive fuzz pedal: not only does it destroy your tone, it somehow also manages to retain it... Each guitar still sounded like itself when played through it.

Here it is, the Leviathan Fuzz. A true monster. With complete control over the tone: volume, gain, bass and treble and a switch that changes from a roar to a rumble feel. Switches between GE and SI diodes, allowing you to more precisely shape the nature of the sound between a more compressed but gainier sound, or an open, throaty tone. Let your imagination guide you... switch it a few times to get the hang of its sound, and from then on you'll know when you want to rumble, and when you want a roar!

You know that this pedal will be the most consistent and versatile fuzz available. This is a true Wampler original, the circuit was born on the operating table in the Wampler basement, and you know if you turn your back on it for a second, it will bite you on the ass.

Features

  • High grade film capacitors and resistors picked for their superior sound and response

  • Completely true bypass

  • Battery connection and 9v power jack (barrel plug like Boss)

  • High gain, fuzzy and dynamic pedal

  • Ultra-bright LEDs for ease of use

  • 2.5" x 4.5"

  • Powder coated durable finish

Pricing and Availability:
For a limited time only, 72 hours... You can buy the Leviathan Fuzz for $179.97... Usual price $199.97

Brent Kingman (burgermann666) has done a great demo with a Les Paul, also worth checking out Kayzer's demo was well. Humbuckers are on there also.

Burgerman666 31-Mar-11 11:23 AM

It's on its way and damn it, I'm going to ring every glorious tone I can out of this little beastie. Stay tuned..

Can't wait to here that puppy through my amps. As usual, nice job Brian.


mike31jmb 28-Mar-11 05:33 PM

lol what would be the point of making a crap pedal there are after all so many out there. I know what you mean... everything Brian makes you want two of just because.


slugpumper1 28-Mar-11 01:07 PM

Eh - ang on ang on - Look Brian - your doing me head in - i had already decided on the Basic Audio Scarab Delux - and now you've gone and messed it all up again - you did the same thing last time - heart set on a Boiling Point and then what did i hear - an Ecstacy Drive - can't you just make something crap for a change!


shango02005 28-Mar-11 12:51 AM

Awesome! You should send one to Brett Kingman! I'd love to hear that sucker through his Hiwatt!! :) Great fuzz beast, Brian!!
