Brian Wampler is famous for taking big sounds and making them t into small boxes, capable of running through just about anything and sounding so much like the inspiration that you'd have trouble telling the difference with your eyes closed.

What happens when you take all that razor-honed skill and let it loose with a goal not of replicating an amp sound, but of just making the best sounding distortion pedal possible?

The answer -- and there can be only one -- is Sovereign.

Capable of a range of sounds from juicy crunch to fat rhythm to leads with diamond-edged cut, the Sovereign Distortion could redeem distortion pedals in the eyes of even the most skeptical pedal-hater.

For all of us pedal-lovers, it's a magnicent beast which sacrices nothing and brings it all to the table.

The question isn't whether Sovereign will give you the tone you seek, but
rather, are you prepared for that much power under your feet?

With the Sovereign, Wampler Pedals has introduced the "Advanced Gain Structure" control setup, which visibly groups the adjustments most relevant to adding more or less distortion and making large changes to its character in one area. Inside that area are the Gain knob, an Even/Bright Toggle Switch, and a Standard/Boost Toggle Switch.

The other controls which have less to do with shaping the distortion itself are outside the Advanced Gain Structure box, and are Volume, Mid Behavior, and Tone. We recommend that you start with the Mid Behavior knob and Tone at
Noon, and dial in the Advanced Gain Structure controls rst! As with all Wampler Pedals products, the Sovereign includes a high-quality true-bypass switch which takes it completely out of the signal path when bypassed. Experiment and enjoy!
