Brian Wamplers drive pedals are criminally underrated! He literally gives us boutique quality drives for just a tad above Boss prices. Brain is an unsung hero.
Hi Brian, amidst all the understandable focus on the Germanium Tumnus, I want to give due credit to your playing! Your controlled bends and vibrato are superb! 😎
I’d agree. However I enjoyed most Brian’s strat beck toss a decade ago with Travis. Serious note, Brian can chicken pick and does have some really nice bending on point. 👍🏻
I need to add a comment. I got an email this afternoon as a subscriber to the Wampler Pedals newsletter. It started with an apology from Brian. Apparently the Anderton’s video on this pedal came out early and demand was far beyond what Brian expected. Therefore, newsletter subscribers didn’t get an early shot at getting the pedal. By the time I watched this video, they were all gone. Brian - thank you! Whether I wanted one of these or not, your email demonstrated your professional integrity and your dedication to loyal customers. 👏 Do I love every Wampler pedal I have purchased? To be honest - no. Will I always consider the Wampler lineup when looking for another pedal? YES
Yet another overdrive I gotta have. I have to say your channel is in my top three. Because you play the things I love to hear. Not necessarily the same things I play, but things that are played really good. Of course your explanations of circuits are top notch. You have helped me and I’m sure countless other players make informed decisions about what to buy or build or use on our rigs. Awesome channel, can’t get enough. Thank you, happy holidays…
Such a kick-ass pedal, Brian. I'm not sure I hear a difference though. Maybe if I heard them on the same amp, right next to each other. I just know that the original Tumnus is the ONLY OD-esq pedal on my board. These days the less I have on my pedal board the better. I just want to plug-in and play. Amps today are made so well, that this pedal is all I need to accomplish the tones I love. You've not only nailed the original Klon tones, or made them better (IMO) but made it affordable. You did the same with the Ratsbane (which I'll use periodically, as well). Made both pedals more applicable to todays amps which are more refined than ever. Such a joy to use your gear. It's easy to use, and you were genuine enough to price it to where us mere mortals can purchase one. We're all grateful for that. Now I'm looking for something to replace my Collider reverb/delay, which sounds phenomenal, but I spend more time f**king around with buttons and software than I do playing. Got a solution for that!? Thanks for sharing, looks like a fantastic pedal. If I can find a video showing a significant difference from my original I'll definitely pick one up.
I bought my tumnus years ago and never even felt the urge to buy another klone because it sounds great… as soon as i heard the news I decided to get myself an early xmas present- cant wait 🤘
Ordered. This pedal sounds great! I had an early Tumnus Deluxe (the OG graphic with the Tumnus standing under the lamp post) and it was one of my favorite pedals, but I gave it to a friend as a gift to help them get started with playing guitar. And I've regretted it ever since. And my friend does NOT want to give it back. 😂 So I'm very happy you've done this one. I've been waiting for a long long while to get another Tumnus, and this is the one.
Yehudi Menuhin said that you shoudl play every note as if it was the most important note you will ever play. Thats how I play and over the decades I've got to where I can't get a bad sound out of the instrument, I'm not alone, its just practice and listening as much as playing. Its so fine to see someone from a different musical background play, your country chops are killer good and influence everything else you play, everything has that warm happy overtone!
Eugh, just sounds gorgeous. Pushing and controlling a good tube amp's natural gain is so much better. A good Klone pedal now like this is just as good as any Klon. Wish I'd got the Germanium when it was released now, but I guess the regular Tumnus is close enough! I notice people often don't realize that these pedals react differently through different amplifiers. A good tube amp will show off the circuit's capabilities a lot better than a solid state or something.
Ohhh Santa came early this year! What a treat, I've never ordered anything so fast in my life! Also that red and silver color combination with the metal knobs looks amazing. Can't wait!
This is such a great demo. Not using enough of the immense volume on tap to alter the sound of the amp. You hear all-pedal and the amp without the output driving the amp into something else. Super cool.
Talk about a pet peeve. Some gear demos are like ok, here's the "clean" sound, and it's an amp breaking up. Well great, thanks for demoing what a boost sounds like, basically.
Hi Brian. Fantastic! I've been wanting to get a Tumnus for quite a while, and you've announced this just as I was set to buy one! It was almost like it was meant to be. I placed my order straight away. 😎
I have the original Tumnus mini on my board, and it's always on, and always great sounding. I now have a Germanium on it's way from Sweetwater, as I was fortunate enough to order one as soon as Anderton's vid dropped in the wee hours of the morning. Great stuff, Brian, always love seeing what you come up with next.
I always wanted a Tumnus, and now with the Germanium version, i pulled the trigger! It plays well with my HX Stomp... The sound is warm and smooth... Beefier than a Klon horsie... Sustain is infinite... I use it going into an 808 in the HX...It has gain out the wazooo...
@@Nickcantle OK, I go from Tumnus Ge into ODR-1 in the Stomp. I dont care for the regular Klon because it rolls off too much low frequencies. It is the most amazing sound I have ever played, I am not kidding. The Tumnus has way more harmonic content than the regular Tumnus. It also has a harmonic "cluck" and a high frequency sheen on the attack that I have heard on legendary records. The HX Stomp seems to deal well with the output of the Tumnus. I have not used the Tumnus in the effects loop on the Stomp because its too much of a hassle, lol... Did I mention that thee Ge Tumnus is going for 600$ on Reverb?
Honestly, if there is anyone I could choose to find that last batch of germanium diodes, you are the one. The pedal sounds fantastic and I was blown away when I checked the price. You could have sold them for 10 X the price and they would have sold out just as quickly. The fact that you priced them at a point where normal guitar players can easily afford them is fantastic. You are a good dude.
The non-Ge Tumnus was my favorite drive pedal I’ve ever used. This one is even better!! It’s never leaving my board. And an unexpected bonus…the two Tumnuses (Tumni?) pair/stack surprisingly well! 🤘🏻
Nice going Brian! I've never considered myself a Klon guy but that sounds great. Good demo too. Looking forward to snugging it right up next to my Belle which is my favorite OD now.
The amount of information the internet on how circuits work and how they can be replicated, you would think people would wake up and realize an original Klon vs all the amazing pedals out today replicating it sound extremely close (arguably can’t tell the difference) and equally amazing, but people still pay thousands of dollars and argue on forums about how the original Klon is better and sounds night and day different from the replicas. Such a bummer! On a positive note, guys like Brian and Josh from JHS are giving us amazing options with their awesome pedals of all types. Thanks y’all! 🙏🏻❤️
I ordered from Guitar Center on 12/7 like the minute they went on sale and got confirmation, then they cancelled my order today. I am super bummed. I really hope you can make some more, Brian, I was really stoked to get one before they were sold out. I wonder how many people got screwed by GC
Yep. Guitar Center cancelled mine too. 👍 😡 If I were Wampler, I’d be pretty pissed at GCs negligence with this. I’m sure Wampler was clear with vendors about how many theyd receive .. and I’m sure they fulfilled their end. I wouldn’t be surprised if GC put them straight on the used market and flipped them.
The same thing happened to me except I ordered through Musician's Friend. I was really bummed because AMS had it in stock and when I checked back they were gone. All of this took place the morning it was released.
Just got mine today. I have compared it against an original mini Tumnus, a Klon KTR and a Mythos Mjolnir. The germanium Tumnus has more presence overall. I was running the gain at 1 o'clock or higher. I played it on a Supro Black Magick, a Z Wreck Jr. and a PRS HDRX 20. I really like it on the HDRX 20, which is a darker amp than the others. I was only using humbuckers, so I need to try some P-90's and single coils with it.
So as soon as I seen this video, I went straight to your website…and seen the “sold out” on it. Went to Sweetwater…never even got there…lol checked reverb and seen what people are trying to sell them for ($699.95 + shipping). I love the sound, but dang…you’d almost think John Mayer played one for that price. I hope you make these again in larger quantities.
I pulled the trigger. I was going to buy a Tumnus anyway for a mini pedalboard with mini pedals. I figured I might as well buy this one. It sounds killer!!!
Have had a Tumnus on my board for 5 years now and use it for the Eric Johnson tunes in our set among other things, so I just purchased the germanium Tumnus and am looking forward to field testing it.
The Tumnus is the only pedal that myself and my other guitarist both use, it is best in class. Thanks for all you do Brian! We both use them as an always on pedal.
The original Tumnus is a dream I'll realize someday. It's the coolest pedal I've seen/heard but it's so expensive where I live that it would be easier to find the Wardrobe and go search for the guy.
What's up Brian, heard the new and old Tumnus comparison to the Klon on "The Anderton's" TH-cam podcast and you couldn't hear the difference between your pedals and the much sought after Klon Centuar ! You should be proud !!!
Just finally pulled the trigger on a J Rockett Archer. Awesome. But is now for sale.😆 Not a year goes by where I don't end up saying "should've waited".
This pedal sounds simply awesome. Brian’s demo is excellent too. That said, I’ve had a Tumnus Deluxe for a couple years and really appreciate the onboard TMB EQ. Now I need to go play through the damned thing again… not that I play anything like Brian does.
oooh. This pedal sounds terrific! Congrats to Wampler on another great product! Didn’t TC Electronic do something similar with their Zeus pedal? they found 2000 germanium diodes and built them into the first 1000 units (each unit required two diodes). When they ran out of germanium, they started building with non-germanium diodes. Not sure if the story is true… but fun to talk about.
Sounds really awesome and a little more open than the original klon. I dig it. Have you tried those magical diodes in other circuits (what does it do to a rat, a DS1 or a TS9? Or modified a tumnus to soft clipping? Would be interesting to hear.
The difference between the regular and germanium version is audible. Now I'm sad that I'm too late 😅. What a great sounding pedal. If I compare it to a speaker for me it's like greenback VS V30.
I'm hoping there's another batch, but he did say he bought up the germanium diodes. So I think they are sold out. No more pedal for us. Wish I knew about this. Just found out now.
hi Brian, I ordered one the same day the guys from Andertons uploaded the video, so as I live in Germany, I ordered it from Thomann. I was very happy about that, because I was really hoping for something like that, which convinced me. Despite being on Thomann's list, they canceled my order saying that the seller couldn't deliver the amount they ordered in advance. I was really upset or rather annoyed, but hey, that's the way it is ... maybe if 1000000 youtubers didn't have one to review, I might have one now 😆 btw I'm on your email list and saw your email as well. This episode really opened my eyes ... do we all really need a "klon style" pedal and at the end to sound all the same? well aynway, if I could have one of those I would anyway😂 Cheers
It might be fun to make a super nerdy video about the mythical diodes and the story of you tracking down a type with similar characteristics. A "What makes this diode great?" episode, if you will.
OK, I go from Tumnus Ge into ODR-1 in the Stomp. I dont care for the regular Klon because it rolls off too much low frequencies. It is the most amazing sound I have ever played, I am not kidding.

All I know is I bought the Duel Pantheon and it’s replaced most all other drive pedals! I play in a twice to three times a month band and that things is solid!!!! I’m sure this one is too 😎
I’ve had an idea for a simple yet effective pedal. It’s basically a volume pedal that has two input jacks for two signal chains and one mono output jack or stereo if there’s the need. The idea is I can have a chain of let’s say distortion and reverb. And on chain two clean with echo and reverb with chorus. And sweeping through the volume pedal you would get a smooth transition between sounds. I’ve not seen it done but it would be a nice addition to a complexed board. Could you build one. Or show the masses how to please. Thanks
Brian Wamplers drive pedals are criminally underrated! He literally gives us boutique quality drives for just a tad above Boss prices. Brain is an unsung hero.
I came here to say the same thing :D
Hi Brian, amidst all the understandable focus on the Germanium Tumnus, I want to give due credit to your playing! Your controlled bends and vibrato are superb! 😎
Thanks so much! That means a lot to me 😊
I’d agree. However I enjoyed most Brian’s strat beck toss a decade ago with Travis. Serious note, Brian can chicken pick and does have some really nice bending on point. 👍🏻
I love it. Please try the circuit with 9V zener diodes. You'll be amazed..
Still love my plextortion from 2010 by the way! The longest standing pedal on my board.
The master of klon circuits does it again. If I see a deluxe I’m buying it so fast.
I need to add a comment. I got an email this afternoon as a subscriber to the Wampler Pedals newsletter. It started with an apology from Brian.

Those Germaniums really got their act together ! :) Nice presentation. Been sold on the TUMNUS for years.

This version of your Tumnus is truly outstanding 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Got mine today and it really is very very nice thanks Brian
Very good Brian! Can’t wait to get one.
First off this Tumnus is amazing! SECONDLY though, Kevin builds such amazing amps as well as being just amazing human being!
Well, that ended quickly. :-(. Congrats! The world can’t seem to get enough of Klon Klone’s … and I’m with them. Lol 😂
Nice going Brian! I've never considered myself a Klon guy but that sounds great. Good demo too. Looking forward to snugging it right up next to my Belle which is my favorite OD now.

Ok…. Sold out! Dude, good on you! How do I even order one??!!?
Got one amazing! It is different than my tumnus deluxe. Both are great
I'll take it! Of course you had me at Wampler pedal lol!
Have had a Tumnus on my board for 5 years now and use it for the Eric Johnson tunes in our set among other things, so I just purchased the germanium Tumnus and am looking forward to field testing it.
Love the germanium transistor T-shirt
Sounds fantastic! Great work and playing as always
Incredible tone and response
The Tumnus is the only pedal that myself and my other guitarist both use, it is best in class. Thanks for all you do Brian! We both use them as an always on pedal.
Rocking playing, Brian! I want to hear you play through a univibe with that strat!
Is Brian a guitar player that makes great pedals, or a great pedal maker that plays guitar?
Glaser Strat? Rare indeed. A man of refined taste.
That’s very kind of you!
The Strat is a parts strat, but I love it! It is indeed rare though- originally owned by Brent Mason.
Been watching and waiting for this all month
You rock Brian!
Nice sounding pedal, extends the existing drive. Nice job
Yesssss. Finally got my first Wampler pedal. The Limited Edition Germanium Tumnus. :^)
This the first video I have seen of all of yours that is about your pedal.
This video has been up for 38 minutes and Sweetwater is already reporting that it’s no longer available. Goodness.
The original Tumnus is a dream I'll realize someday. It's the coolest pedal I've seen/heard but it's so expensive where I live that it would be easier to find the Wardrobe and go search for the guy.
This is sick! I love it! Must have.
What's up Brian, heard the new and old Tumnus comparison to the Klon on "The Anderton's" TH-cam podcast and you couldn't hear the difference between your pedals and the much sought after Klon Centuar ! You should be proud !!!
That sounds really good! Thanks
Just finally pulled the trigger on a J Rockett Archer. Awesome. But is now for sale.😆 Not a year goes by where I don't end up saying "should've waited".
Pedal sounds fantastic
This pedal sounds simply awesome. Brian’s demo is excellent too.
That said, I’ve had a Tumnus Deluxe for a couple years and really appreciate the onboard TMB EQ. Now I need to go play through the damned thing again… not that I play anything like Brian does.
Damnit, Brian! I thought I was done buying pedals this year. That thing looks so good in silver with the ano red knobs.
oooh. This pedal sounds terrific! Congrats to Wampler on another great product!
Didn’t TC Electronic do something similar with their Zeus pedal? they found 2000 germanium diodes and built them into the first 1000 units (each unit required two diodes). When they ran out of germanium, they started building with non-germanium diodes. Not sure if the story is true… but fun to talk about.
Hmmm... I have the zues (non germanium), but still prefer the mxr sugar drive.
I use the original Tumnus with the gain cranked all the way and I love how it can get heavy and still cut through.
Congrats. This is a sick release!
I've been messing more with the MXR Sugar Drive, so yeah, I'm digging this video!
The pedal sounds great. Is there some reason why new germanium diodes can't be newly manufactured to the original specs?
Great question ⁉️
Your peddle sounds awesome.
The great question here is: where did you find the germanium diodes?
Sounds really awesome and a little more open than the original klon. I dig it.
Have you tried those magical diodes in other circuits (what does it do to a rat, a DS1 or a TS9? Or modified a tumnus to soft clipping? Would be interesting to hear.
Ordered, can't wait :)
Awesome, Brian 🎸✨️👍🎵☮️🤘🏻🍀🎅
Pedal sounds great!
The difference between the regular and germanium version is audible. Now I'm sad that I'm too late 😅. What a great sounding pedal. If I compare it to a speaker for me it's like greenback VS V30.
Are you going to be making more of these? It's sold out everywhere. If so, how can I get on the pre-order list?
I'm hoping there's another batch, but he did say he bought up the germanium diodes. So I think they are sold out. No more pedal for us. Wish I knew about this. Just found out now.

Germanium is where it's at, or so my ears are telling me. I personally think this sounds smoother than the original Tumnus. May have to grab this one.
Ugh, so bummed I missed out on this!
It might be fun to make a super nerdy video about the mythical diodes and the story of you tracking down a type with similar characteristics. A "What makes this diode great?" episode, if you will.
Tone is in the goop
I dig the palm muted sound. I need to work on that technique.
Do you know what gives me great joy, Bri?
This Sounds Goooood.Dang, Sold Out.
You the man. Keep on keepin on bro
The first two something minutes wrre also a great example for the difference between humbuckers and single coils.
So Brian are you saying that this new germanian tumnus is closer to the original klon circuit than the original tumnus?
Great! But already on backorder. Will there be a deluxe version? I love the EQ on mine.
OK, I go from Tumnus Ge into
ODR-1 in the Stomp.
I dont care for the regular Klon because it rolls off too much low frequencies.
It is the most amazing sound I have ever played,
I am not kidding.
The Tumnus has way more harmonic content than the regular Tumnus.
It also has a harmonic "cluck" and a high frequency sheen on the attack that I have heard on legendary records.
The HX Stomp seems to deal well with the output of the Tumnus.
I have not used the Tumnus in the effects loop on the Stomp because its too much of a hassle, lol...
Did I mention that thee Ge Tumnus is going for 600$ on Reverb?
41 seconds in, I'm $old!
You had me at Germaniun!
Aloha and yes!
Brian, when are you coming with a Deluxe version of the Garmanium Tumnus?
Wicked! Any plans to release this in your standard enclosure?
+1 for standard enclosure
Hey Brian, could you do a quick video on the old TS10 into Klon (John Meyer) vrs your Moxie into Germanium Tumnus ?
Sounds AWESOME!!! 👍🏻
I'm psyched to have picked one up, thanks for your dedication to the casue Brian. BTW who's the maker of the guitar?
Ordered, love every Wampler pedal I have and I have a few lol Moxie, Paisley Deluxe, Gearbox and others. Can't wait for this to get here!
All I know is I bought the Duel Pantheon and it’s replaced most all other drive pedals! I play in a twice to three times a month band and that things is solid!!!! I’m sure this one is too 😎
I’ve had an idea for a simple yet effective pedal. It’s basically a volume pedal that has two input jacks for two signal chains and one mono output jack or stereo if there’s the need. The idea is I can have a chain of let’s say distortion and reverb. And on chain two clean with echo and reverb with chorus. And sweeping through the volume pedal you would get a smooth transition between sounds. I’ve not seen it done but it would be a nice addition to a complexed board. Could you build one. Or show the masses how to please. Thanks
Yes please!
