Brian Wampler's take on the classic Nobels ODR-1!With the Belle, Brian Wampler has taken a classic low gain overdrive circuit and tweaked it to perfection.This circuit is a firm favorite in Nashville and Brian’s take is everything you would expect it to be.Brian has added further gain capabilities to this circuit, and added a bass control that controls all the harmonics (from smooth and creamy to tight and crunchy).If you set the gain low and the bass control up high, you get a wonderful clean boost sound that can rival any Klone circuit.But, when you spin the bass down and the gain all the way up, you suddenly find yourself with all the crunch you need!The color control is more than just a standard tone control and it’s pretty unique to this circuit.Dialing it right or left will either boost or cut the high and low end a little, but the midrange frequencies are left well alone.Combine this with the Bass control and you have a very versatile tone shaping palette with Wampler’s legendary ease of use.Brian has also added a push switch on the side which will control the amount of compression and clipping structure in the circuit for some extra punch.The Wampler Belle can add some serious muscle to your country, some extra grit to your blues, and some soaring boosts to rock!Wampler Belle Overdrive features:• Based on the famous Nobels ODR-1 drive.• High grade components picked for their superior sound and response.• Controls: Level, Gain, Color, Bass.• Compression Clipping Switch (disengaged for more compression, engaged for a more open sound).• True bypass.• Power: 9 - 18V DC.• Current Draw: 15mA.• Dimensions: 1.5" x 3.5" x 1.5".
