Condition Notes:

– Condition: 8.5/10

– Any wear of note: There’s some very light scratching and scuffing in one small area of the back bottom edge. But that’s pretty much it! The pedal is in overall really amazing shape and full working order!

– General notes: This is a really amazing sounding Klon-style overdrive from Wampler made with the same style of germanium diodes used in the actual old Klons! Loaded with all of the sweet tones we love from these types of drives but with even more tweak-ability and options on tap!

– Accessories included: Manual and bag only. Does NOT include the original box or any other accessories.

The Germanium Tumnus Deluxe adds vintage sizzle and extra bite to a classic pedal, with increased options for gain switching, three band EQ, and switchable buffer.

Overview

“This is my shot at the ultimate Klon-style overdrive…”

Introducing the Limited Edition Wampler Germanium Tumnus Deluxe. It’s a Tumnus, it’s a deluxe, and it’s loaded with the same style of hyper-rare germanium diodes as the elusive Klon Centaur and the sold-out Germanium Tumnus. This is my shot at the ultimate Klon-style overdrive.

You all sure love the Germanium Tumnus! It was almost sold out before it even shipped. Never fear if you missed your chance to get one, though. The Ltd. Germanium Tumnus Deluxe is the quintessential blend of that same authentic tone and added versatility. With a 3-band EQ, buffer bypass switch, controls for level and gain, and a hot switch for increased gain, you can think of it as an upgraded Germanium Tumnus, an even more versatile Klon, or a killer overdrive/boost pedal in its own right. However you see it—or use it—you’ll love it. I only had so many of these “magic” diodes, so, like the first Germanium Tumnus, production is extremely limited. Assuming you haven’t bought them up already, you’ll want to act fast. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Limited Edition, You Know the Drill!

I only have a limited supply of those vintage diodes, so this pedal won’t be around long. If you’re curious, move quick. You won’t regret it.

Features

Legendary Diodes, Iconic Tone

There are so many Klones out there that it’s hard to keep up. That’s just fine with me. My original Tumnus is still a favorite of guitarists around the world. That said, they’re nearly all missing the unique germanium diodes that powered Bill Finnegan’s classic design. Not so with the Germanium Tumnus Deluxe. I found an exceedingly rare stash of germanium diodes electronically identical to the ones Finnegan used. Thanks to them, the Germanium Tumnus Deluxe is as close as you can get to his ’90s icons.

That Tone With Any Rig, Every Time

The Germanium Tumnus Deluxe and the sold-out Germanium Tumnus are essentially the same circuits. The Deluxe’s 3-band EQ just gives you finer control without losing the pedal’s inherent character. Want to add a bit of low-end back into the mix? Need some extra cut and attack? How about boosting a crunchy amp with a tighter, more percussive sound? It’s all there, and it’s all authentic.

More Gain With the Flip of a Switch

The Germanium Tumnus Deluxe also features my “hot switch,” which introduces more output and drive than most Klones. That includes my my OG Tumnus. This style of pedal is already a quintessential clean boost and mid-gain overdrive. Now, it has a meaner side while retaining the classic vocal-like tone and throaty response you expect.

To Buffer or Not to Buffer

This style of overdrive pedal gives your tone more clarity and character. It’s often used as an always-on tonal sweetener but still adds some magic when bypassed. Still, there are plenty of us who want our pedals entirely out of the way when not in use. That’s why I gave the Germanium Tumnus Deluxe a side-mounted buffer-bypass toggle switch. Keep it on for a bit of sparkle, or flip it off for an unadulterated signal path. Your choice.
