Description
The Wampler Tweed ’57 is an expressive and dynamic overdrive pedal which can produce a huge range of vintage style gain tones based on the iconic Tweed amp series. With a built in 3-band EQ for advanced tonal shaping, and unique input simulator with normal, bright and linked settings you can fine tune and manipulate the controls to create a range of premium tones. Designed to allow you to turn any clean amplifier into an authentic and dynamic sounding valve amp the Tweed ’57 is a must have for all guitarists.
Bringing you the classic 50’s tone that was at the very heart of Rock and Roll…
Coveted by blues, country, and rock players alike – tweed style amplifiers have been staples in famous musicians’ live and studio setups since their introduction. With their warm sound and pushed volume tube break-up, the tone of tweed amps have found their way on to numerous historic recordings of some legendary artists.
Those historic tweed style amps and their legendary tones are responsible for the inspiration behind the Wampler Tweed ‘57. This pedal offers a wide tonal palette of sounds and includes several features that you’ve come to expect from Wampler.
Although the Tweed ’57 delivers the sound of those vintage tones you have come to love and expect, it is not limited to only one particular sound. With a carefully voiced three-band EQ, you will be able to achieve a wide range of tones from your amp. Thanks to the fantastic “Input Simulator” switch, you will have flexibility and control just as you would expect on an amp from that period. Normal, Bright, and Linked input options cooperate with the EQ and gain adjustments to give you control that is easy to use and rewarding to play with.
Whether you are playing a 60’s humbuckers inspired rock song, or a slow single coils blues tune – Wampler’s Tweed ’57 pedal will help you create those iconic tweed sounds you have come to know and love – all at the click of a switch.

“…what an amazing sounding pedal… I think I will be living on the bright setting with my strat and switch to the linked setting for my tele. I finally found a pedal I can use with my bridge pups on both guitars… This is the best dirt pedal I’ve ever heard…”
