Wampler Pantheon Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

didn't expect it to be that great, paired up amazing with Mesa Electradyne. it's a keeper!

I recently bought an American B-Bender Telecaster, my pedal board is set up mainly for the strats I play. My TS9 tube screamer and OCD pedal are my main distortion pedals and I love them with the strats but with this telecaster I wanted something where I have more control over my clean sound. I ran across this pedal and decided to give it a try after watching Brent Mason himself review it on YouTube. It has exceeded all my expectations, it is basically 2 pedals in 1!! The blend knob is one of the most useful features for me and kicking both sides on together give a very nice 'heavy' sounding distortion that I'm actually able to use out live. Most heavier distortions get lost in the mix of a whole band situation but this one cuts through and I have gotten only good complements about my tone. I'm very happy and highly recommend it if you want a nice chicken pickin" tone but also like a great over drive..... first 5 start pedal I have bought since my Keeley 4 knob compressor. They work great together!!

If you’re sick of the typical Tubescreamer, Dumble or Klon type pedals, give this one a try... The Pantheon can do all of that and more. It’s basically a hot-rodded Marshall Bluesbreaker that can still do pristine low-gain… and the high gain is excellent as well. The combination of soft/hard clipping is amazing, and the gain options are killer. The Pantheon is EXACTLY what I was looking for, and it’s replaced my Revivaldrive, which replaced my Blues Driver. The only other pedal that can come close to this is maybe a King/Prince of Tone, but the Pantheon is more affordable and doesn’t have a waitlist. From P-Funk to Tool, this pedal can do it all.

The new version has better switches which were a problem with the original. The sound is identical and the jacks are on the back and not the sides so it doesnt take any more space on your board than the original.

There is no question that this pedal is prob. The best you can buy for it’s price point, anyone who’s tried the euphoria wampler knows it’s simply the best, Now the dual fusion is the euphoria+paisley, If you can get both go for it but if not the dual fusion is way to go , the buttons are also great. Just perfectly made

I'm a big fan of Brian Wampler and his products, but this pedal was not a keeper for me. Build quality, features and controls, and visual appearance are all top notch. But I guess I'm just not a tube screamer kind of guy. For over a decade I've had a TS9 modified by Keeley to 808 "plus", which after side-by-side testing sounded very slightly more pleasing to me for that mid-hump thing than the Clarksdale. The Clarksdale has much more adjustment capability than my Keeley, and is probably excellent if that sort of sound works for you. But personally, every time I try to find a use for a TS I end up turning it off and using other pedals instead.

Best pedal

Excellence achieved when I got this into my pedal board. I read a great deal about it. I watched many videos for demo and comparing similar effects. However this one stands head and shoulders above its peers. A incredible value for what I paid. A truly underrated item, even though it comes out on top when compared head to head. It’s one of the three pedals that makes my sound complete. It’s a blues overdrive. It’s the nicest sounding blues overdrive I’ve had the great pleasure to own. I simply love it.Well made expertly created.

Très bonne pédale. Les réglage de tonalité son précis et la présence efficace. Je m'en sers comme Bluesbreaker, juste pour donner du grain à l'enceinte et j'y ajoute une TS pour l'overdrive quand y a besoin. C'est la combinaison héroïque que j'apprécie. Elle est en permanence allumée sauf pour les sons très clean.
