The best of the klones
This is my second Tumnus, and I still have the first. This is not the best overdrive going, nor is it transparent if you run the gain above 9 o'clock, but it is a very good pedal if used as a slightly dirty colored boost to push a tube amp or another pedal. I will say this. The paint on this V2 is much better than my V1. Otherwise they sound the same. Be aware this is more transparent than most klones and originals as it has a little extra bottom end, but understand that at high gain settings this circuit actually cuts more highs and lows than a standard green overdrive, and it does have a mid push like the green thing except it's pushed at a slightly lower frequency. The green pedal is centered more ideally for mid push for a guitar. This one is more transparent if and only if you remember to keep the gain at 1 o'clock or lower. I've also noticed that this type of pedal really does work better set well above unity gain through a wide open tube amp.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Transparent Overdrive
Wampler Tumnus Deluxe Review: A Top-Tier Klon-Style Overdrive with Extra Flexibility The **Wampler Tumnus Deluxe** is a fantastic overdrive pedal that builds upon the legendary Klon Centaur circuit while adding modern versatility and expanded tone-shaping options. Designed for players who love the warm, transparent boost and smooth gain of the classic Klon but want more control, this pedal delivers in spades. **Tone and Performance** The Tumnus Deluxe retains the signature **midrange warmth and harmonic richness** that made the original Klon famous. Whether you use it as a clean boost, a mild overdrive, or a more aggressive gain stage, it maintains clarity and note definition. Unlike the smaller, original Tumnus, this deluxe version features a **three-band EQ** (Bass, Mids, and Treble), allowing you to fine-tune your tone with more precision. The addition of a **buffered/bypass switch** is another huge plus. While the Klon’s legendary buffer enhances signal integrity, some players prefer a true bypass option for pedalboard flexibility—Wampler gives you both. **Build Quality and Usability** As expected from Wampler, the Tumnus Deluxe is built like a tank. The enclosure is **rugged and road-worthy**, with smooth, responsive knobs that make dialing in tones a breeze. It runs on **9V power** but can handle up to 18V for increased headroom, perfect for players who want even more clarity and dynamic response. #### **Who Is It For?** - **Blues and rock players** looking for that classic Klon-style boost and overdrive - **Worship and country guitarists** who need a pedal that can enhance their amp’s natural tone - **Lead players** who want a midrange push for solos - **Pedalboard tweakers** who appreciate having both buffered and true bypass options **Final Verdict** The **Wampler Tumnus Deluxe** is one of the best Klon-inspired overdrives on the market. It delivers the **iconic warmth and grit** of the original circuit while adding more flexibility and control, making it a great choice for any serious guitarist. Whether you're stacking it with other drives or using it as a standalone boost, it’s a **top-tier** addition to any rig. ⭐ **Rating: 5/5** – Highly recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome Overdrive
I was looking for a small overdrive because the space in my pedalboard is short, I bought this pedal because of the feedback and it really is fantastic, it was worth the purchase. Excellent overdrive.
