Product Description

The Wampler Tweed 57 is the heart and soul of a mids 50s Fender Tweed amp. Just think Eric Clapton playing Layla: that tiny Fender pushed to the absolute limit for that crunchy yet 100% Fender tone.

We all know that when you need a pedal that nails the sound of an amp there's only one place to turn: Brian Wampler obsessively A/B tests his boutique pedals with the real deal to make sure that the tone is nailed, especially the details that other amp emulators miss like the way the overdrive reacts to gentle playing or rolled off volume/tone.

As well as EQ and Gain controls the Wampler Tweed 57 features an input simulator, an important detail for getting the authentic fender sound!

Here's what Wampler say about the Tweed 57

Bringing you the classic 50’s tone that was at the very heart of Rock and Roll…

Coveted by blues, country, and rock players alike – tweed style amplifiers have been staples in famous musicians’ live and studio setups since their introduction. With their warm sound and pushed volume tube break-up, the tone of tweed amps have found their way on to numerous historic recordings of some legendary artists.

Those historic tweed style amps and their legendary tones are responsible for the inspiration behind the Wampler Tweed ‘57. This pedal offers a wide tonal palette of sounds and includes several features that you’ve come to expect from Wampler.

Although the Tweed ’57 delivers the sound of those vintage tones you have come to love and expect, it is not limited to only one particular sound. With a carefully voiced three-band EQ, you will be able to achieve a wide range of tones from your amp. Thanks to the fantastic “Input Simulator” switch, you will have flexibility and control just as you would expect on an amp from that period. Normal, Bright, and Linked input options cooperate with the EQ and gain adjustments to give you control that is easy to use and rewarding to play with.

Whether you are playing a 60’s humbuckers inspired rock song, or a slow single coils blues tune – Wampler’s Tweed ’57 pedal will help you create those iconic tweed sounds you have come to know and love – all at the click of a switch.

Exactly what I wanted, and more

This is a great pedal if you're looking for an amp in a box to give you the sound of a tweed amp. Capable of a number of tweed voicings just use your ears to shape the sound you're looking for. A bit pricy but well worth it for the quality of the product.
