Wampler Sovereign V2
Distortion
We took apart what is required for a great distortion, and when we put all the parts back together, we discovered that this new circuit was the King. The Sovereign. A distortion pedal designed to be so versatile you will wonder how so much can be available from on small box. Two gain stages, a mid contour, bright switch and tone control allow you to shape your tone the way you want. Dial in virtually any sound from modern distortion all the way back to classic OD tones.
- High gain, crunchy and dynamic pedal
- Extremely tweakable EQ
- Advanced gain structure with an amazing array of sounds
- High grade components picked for their superior sound and response
- Completely true bypass (soft relay switching)
- Hand built in the U.S.A.

Controls
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
VolumeThis control adjusts the output level of the Sovereign. There's plenty of volume on tap, so whether you want to go farther than your input level or just make sure it can do unity volume (the same level of signal going out as you feed it, when active), you're covered. The output volume, Advanced Gain Structure controls and tonal adjustments all have an impact on the total volume, so you're probably better off waiting to adjust the Volume until you've dialed in the other controls. Re-adjustment might be necessary if you get it to the desired level and still need to tweak the sound. |
Mid ContourThe Mid Behavior knob has a profound impact on the fundamental voice of the pedal. The mids are where guitar's fundamental frequencies, the heartbeats of your notes, live and breathe. Controlling the midrange is vital to dialing in the perfect sound to fit your desired role in the mix, and this control gives you plenty of adjustment to dial in the precise relationship of mids to other frequencies that you need. |
ToneOf course, the fundamentals of the guitar's notes are only part of the equation. All that distortion lives in higher frequencies, harmonics generated by the powerful gain engine that roars deep inside the Sovereign distortion. The Tone control is the key to nailing the highs just how you want them. Between the Tone control and the Bright/Even switch in the Advanced Gain Structure section, you have a tremendous amount of control over the frequency emphasis of the pedal. |
GainOne of the Advanced Gain Structure controls, this knob adjusts the distortion level. It interacts with the Standard/Boost Toggle Switch and the Even/Bright Toggle Switch, and changing them will probably make you want to change the Gain knob's position as well. As mentioned, it has a very capable range of tones available, and with adjustment (and attention to the other AGS controls) you can set the foundations for a very powerful sound, regardless of how much distortion is involved. |
