The Wampler Ratsbane is Brian Wampler's take on an infamous circuit from a classic 1980s high-gain distortion pedal, built as a single-pedal solution running from light overdrive through to full, saturated fuzz. Turning the distortion control down gives a deep, powerful gain boost, while cranking it up brings out rich harmonic overtones and a throaty, fuzz-like distortion; the filter control cuts through the mix with high-frequency attack when turned counter-clockwise, or rolls off the top for a warmer, buttery tone when turned clockwise. A 3-way Gain switch adds two extra gain stages beyond the stock setting, and a Voice switch tightens the distortion for a more modern, higher-gain tone.
