Brian Wampler captured the magic of one of the most talked about and sought after circuits with his original Tumnus circuit, and has withstood the test of time and held its own in countless situations, often coming out on top even against the original Klon pedal.
The allure of that original overdrive had a lot to do with a very specific “secret” germanium diode, dubbed “unobtanium” by the original creator, Bill Finnegan. It was said that these diodes were the heartbeat of the coveted tone, but they had run out long ago. In spite of this, Wampler fans have been asking Brian to create a Tumnus using the same vintage specification clipping diode from those early Klons. After a massive hunt Brian found a small stash of these elusive diodes and used them to create a limited-edition run of pedals - the Germanium Tumnus.
The Germanium Tumnus is a versatile addition to any pedal board. Stack it with another pedal to help push or shape the total amount of gain, use it as a slightly dirty boost to push the front end of your amp over the edge, or use it as a standalone overdrive pedal and let it roar.
