The Euphoria Overdrive from Wampler Pedals is a classic, great-sounding OD with a few extras to make it stand out from the crowd. Based in part off of the tone of D-Style Amplifiers, the Euphoria produces clean dirty sounds (if that makes sense) by not muddying up your tone, and giving you a range of tonal options with the 3-position toggle switch. With the switch Up, the sound is overdriven and creamy, really for sparkling leads with a little gusto behind them. In the Middle position, you can crank the gain for some crunch, or turn the gain down a bit for a beautiful clean boost sound. And in the Down position, the Euphoria can get down right nasty, adding a bit of fuzzy gooeyness to your drive. The Volume, Tone and Gain controls do what you would expect, but they’ve added a Bass knob, which allows you to beef up your drive sound if the mood should strike you, which is a welcome addition to any overdrive pedal!
There’s a huge range from clean to gain on this baby, too, making it easy to dial in the signature tone that YOU are looking for. Proudly made in Martinsville, IN, Wampler Pedals have a great reputation of bringing great tones to guitarists everywhere. And while the Euphoria is a little on the pricy side at $199, it’s almost like you’re getting 3 pedals in one, with the range of tonal options you have with this stompbox. If you want a versatile, warm, creamy and crunchy overdrive that is also a great clean boost, you’ve come to the right place.
