Until today, the Pinnacle Deluxe has been known as the "EVH" brown sound type of pedal. While I do love that sound, I've worked hard over the past few months in taking the basic "engine" of the Pinnacle, and giving it many more sounds and textures, making it much more than a one trick pony.
I'm proud to present to you, the newest Pinnacle Deluxe (V2), what I like to call jokingly the Pinnacle Deluxe Deluxe. The Pinnacle Deluxe (V2) boasts new gain stages, 3 band EQ, completely independent 'lime green' style pre gain booster (sounds excellent pushing other dirt pedals or the gain channel of your amp as well), ANOTHER gain boost switch, 2 different gain voicings, top jacks, a SAG switch for those of you with hot pickups or if you just like your distortion tighter, soft switches with true bypass relays, and a massive graphical tweak. I do believe this may be the comprehensive update to the Pinnacle that a LOT of people have been waiting for!

This combined with the Tumnus are my two favorite pedals. I am playing them through a PRS amp and I can't get over how good they sound. Thanks
I bought one of these this week. The search for the best distortion pedal for me has now ended after a 22 year long quest. This pedal is awesome!
Do you recommend for this pedal.
I have this pedal and I highly recommend it!@@Brad143
Love the definition of "Quick Demonstration" lol
check up " That pedal show" and you'll see a long demonstration of the most simple things lol and they are godly on the guitars as well :D
Well, you can't just play the same pentatonic scale for only 5 minutes. Gotta do it for 15, bruh.
Practice make perfect! :D right?
Seven years gone by since this video went up, and I've been feeling I need a "dual OD/Distortion" of some kind. I think I'm in love with this pedal.
BRIAN WAMPLER SIR, YOU ARE A MAD GENIUS MY FREIND, KEEP IT UP
Gonna have to get this pedal in honor of EVH passing away today.. It's been on my list quite a while .. Adding it to my Keeley Fuzz bender, Oxblood, Caverns v2 , Joyo maximum od, Uzi, Boss Ch2 Super chorus.. What pedal would you recommend for a modern Rat and modern fuzz .. I'm a huge Gilmour fan.. I'm looking at that Plexi pedal too .. Like the Filaments and the Palladium and recently really looking into the Laney monolith..
This is my all time favorite overdrive/ distortion pedal, I had lost faith in distortion pedals till I tried this one. The fact that it has a “TS” style gain boost that can be used independently gives my two pedals in one. Also thanks for making pedals that use batteries! I’m the player that likes a Wah, a gain pedal and amp.
+Wampler Pedals 5:04 I can't believe you've finally cracked the mythical ???!!! tone!!!!! I've been chasing it all my life. Please take my money.
Awesome job on this Brian!!! Out of all my "brown sound" pedals including the Friedman, Bogner and JHS that I own the Pinnacle is by far the most useable. Just sounds very warm and organic and cuts thru so good in a band situation.
The animated poo scared me. Please tell me you saw it as well.
I don't know what you are talking about
That's what I was afraid of. I'll be pulling the sheets up over my head and going to sleep now.
Wampler Pedals lol!
I see the poo! It's so scary. Make it stop!
I think he means your snap chat thing or whatever the yellow dude is in the upper left.
dude were you in that movie school of rock?
are you mr schneebly???
That is the best Vintage Marshall Tone I have heard from a pedal.
Sound really amazing!
The Pearl Jam tone was dead on. I was about to get a Friedman BE-OD but i think i prefer this pedal tbh
Totally agree. Nailed it. Time to buy myself a birthday present.
It’s the “BROWN” thing.
Brian, that is probably one of the best demo videos that you have ever done. Man, you have really piqued my interest in this pedal. It sounds FANTASTIC!
Congratulations Brian!!!🙌🏻
The Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe v2 is a fantastic unique versatile distortion pedal with a powerful EQ section and some clever extra features that make it a super complete drive box where you can get so many different killer tones! Highly recommend it for anyone who cares about good dirt guitar sounds!🤟🏻🎸🔥
Just bought one a little while ago, sounds great, first Wampler pedal. Not sure if I'm getting the settings just right for EVH tone, but I love it, and there are some nice Slayer-ish and AC/DC tones in there, too.
Any tips on brown tone settings, Brian?
I shake my fist at you Mr Wampler for making yet another pedal I HAVE to have!! I love the fact it has a built-in Tube Screamer type thing going on.
Brian, do you recommend to use the Pinnacle Deluxe V2 at 18volts? or is 9 volts best? Any tips?
It would be great to see you guys make a multi fx pedal featuring all the top wampler pedals.
Axe Fx, Kemper, Helix..In good company wouldnt you agree?
This is the BEST vintage sounding distortion pedal EVER. I have the Deluxe 1 but I am going to get this one. It pairs well with just about any amp, alnico pickups, single coil's or HB's but especially w high output alnico HB's. IMHO, the secret sauce of the Pinnacle are its dynamics which are better than any other pedal. Roll your guitar volume back and you'll be amazed at how well it cleans up and replicates the dynamics of a Marshall dimed up to 10 with your guitar volume at 3, 5, 7 or 10.
Brian, is there a certain setting you have/provide to achieve the brown EVH sound on this V2.. I want that and want this product rather than buying the older deluxe.In other words i don't want to turn 6 knobs /switches to land on Brown. Thanks
Same question
We’re certainly grateful to have a pedal designer/builder who is obsessive about achieving THE best tone he can from each unit you produce. The Pinnacle Deluxe is just that - the pinnacle - in distortion pedals IMO. This covers such a wide range, from OD to Distortion, that I find myself considering a second one to take out any others on my pedal board and have them set differently. Thumbs up to you for a fantastic product again. 👍
I just bought the standard version of this pedal and I am quite impressed. I bought it to replace my MXR '78. The MXR is too bright and buzzy, and has what I call the "bees in a beer can" tone.
This pedal has no such issue, even at the highest gain settings. It's touted to have that EVH brown sound, which it certainly does, but the tones go way beyond that. It's ridiculously dynamic, as well. Soft finger picking to hard pick strokes take you from a edge of breakup clean to full crunch. Very nice pedal.
is the boost side separate from the drive side so it could be used with other pedals?
Sounds great you just sold me on one, huge Improvement on the Hot Rod Deluxe no need for mods just add this pedal. Is that the stock speaker?
There's a pic of this where every button adds more cowbell 😆
As mentioned before, like to hear it into a Marshall, something with a good OD tone. How does it sound with 18v? My OCD is another beast altogether at 18v. I do like the way it sounds, a lot of people will buy this pedal.
Fantastic pedal from what I see in this video and I can see what you're doing, and it's a great modification! I have a 5150distMXR pedal and love it.....but I'm gonna give this a shot, which says a lot....cause I like a certain kinda sound, but I love the boost option and that sound seems to be here too. I use your Egocomp and love it more than the Boss Blue Comp pedal that I had in my rig 3 years ago. I hadn't had the opportunity to try the previous incarnation of the Pinnacle, but was already thinking of one when I saw this pop up!!! Great pedals....and great playing! That Tele sounds so good!!! Versatile....Heavy to Country!
I've watched it twice! I'm sold! This rocks!
Brian, I really appreciate all your videos and everything you take time to share. I own the standard Pinnacle. Looks like you nailed it with the Deluxe V2. It'll be on my board soon! :-)
Brian, I totally agree with what you said about the "boost" side (if it's the same circuit as in the Plexi Drive Deluxe). That boost is almost my favorite effect - sounds AMAZING with my Big Muff into it, and sounds amazing INTO my Flux Five. Plus it sounds AMAZING into the Plexi Drive Deluxe, and not half bad on its own! Great video, awesome pedal.
This sounds like the best distortion pedal ever made!
The "Pinnacle Deluxe" pedal is extremely versatile. I've used it in many various phase modes on my last two CryBaby Creek albums, VERA IX, and No Resolve. Listen to the tracks "Bad Self," "Sea Of Soul," and "Push Harder," to hear what the Pinnacle sounds like in a recording studio situation. And I will use it again on future recordings. But make sure tp run it through a good tube amp, with a well made, "?X12" speaker cab, like a Marshall, Carvin, or Boogie. I used the Vintage setting because it has a less-harsh, high end-treble. More of a warm midrange tone with smooth highs and lows. The Modern setting sounds great as well, but dial back that treble for a more ear friendly tone. The boost adds a nice, rich, sustain to the overall grind, but the gain-switch setting gets a bit noisy. Alone with just the boost, gives a subtle amount of gain over a clean channel. Classic tube-driven tones, "ala- Hendrix/Stevie Ray," great vintage amp vibes. Versatility is the only way to describe it. Versatility with many classic- to- modern possibilities. I think Wampler broke the mold with this pedal. Ive never heard anything like it in a metal stomp box.
Totally agree!!! Amazing versatile distortion tool!!!
great pedal V2.. I own one and it kiss ass.
It would be great if you could add a toggle to switch the boost to be post-gain, which is much more useful to me. I love the boost feature on my Slostortion.
Wow…. Mind blown. I’ll need to start putting some spare change away for this beast. I already own 5 drive pedals but you can never have too many! This would probably replace 2 or 3 of mine anyway so it’s a win in terms of board space. Fantastic job all around here’
That sounded really good with the tele......send me one.
Trading in the 5150 I just bought yesterday to get one of these. Wow
You are right you covered a lot of tones...nice job on this pedal!
Love the Tele!
On the verge of buying this and I have one question: how similar is the boost, in isolation, to the Clarksdale? My bigger board runs Crybaby Q-tuner-Tumnus Deluxe-Dumkudo-Pantheon-Ego then delays followed by a Clarksdale for boost before a Fender Treverb. The Clarksdale is an amazing clean boost. I was using an EP but have taken to using a Princeton RI rather than my 135watt Twin. The Princeton didn't like the EP's bottom end up good Lord it loves the Clarksdale. As far as dirt on the new, smaller and more transportable board, I'm trying to limit myself to the Plexi-Mini and, most likely, the Pinnacle Deluxe V2. Is the Pinnacle boost going to give me pretty much the same pick sensitivity and fizzless tone as the Clarksdale? Thanks to any helpful commenters.
*****Brian, I just love your pedal! Great versatility and tonal range. BUT, the link in the description says "page not found" Just wanted to let you know.***** I'm buying this pedal for sure!
The success of the Pinnacle's marketing was that it was synonymous to the brown sound (that and it sounded great). It's refreshing to hear it straight from Brian that there's more to this box. I picked up the last version because the saturation was so great.
The fact that Brian just played a Lit song is hilarious
lol, I used to play a lot of that type of stuff when I was gigging more regularly
This sounds so incredible I've watched this video 3 times LOL. Wondering how this pedal would sound into the clean channel of a Mesa Mark IV. Love the Mesa crunch, but looking for more of the brown sound to fill out the ol' tonal palette. Anyone?
How well would this pedal sound on a boss katana 50?
Dear brian,any toughts about marshall shredmaster? Yes i love how huge distorted sound on radiohead - creep
Thanks in advance brian,you're so inspiring me!
Thanks! Yes, I like the basic shredmaster circuit, I used to modify alot of the shredmasters years ago. :) I think Radiohead-creep was a Rat pedal though? I may be wrong though
Whats the recommended price on this? I wanna pick one up, but I don't wanna get price gouged on a new product from independent sellers.
Two stores have them for $239.97 on Reverb, which sounds reasonable for all this pedal does, IMHO anyway.
How is this different than the Plexi-Deluxe? I don't hear a lot of difference, limited of course by computer speakers.
Great professional presentation videos from the maker himself. And this is a hell of a pedal! I got totally hooked on it from 9:00 when the Hendrix style was covered so beautifully.
I'm really enjoying your demo videos for the pedals. This is something that I haven't seen any other companies really doing. At least not as well. Thanks for this.
My search for distortion/overdrive pedal is over. Thanks sir Brian.
Hey Brian! Is the Pinnacle tight enough for some LOW tuned stuff?
I believe it covers the exact same sound as the v1 too, right? Great job, planning to get one from Andertons this week.
If I have to have just one pedal to cover all my bases, I would absolutely grab the Pinnacle Deluxe v2!
Cordova rules!!!! It's undeniable....
Ask Alice.
there goes my wallet again... you keep hitting it out of the park!!
Hi everyone! What kind of pedal topper may i use in this pedal? Any recommendation? The footswitch is not the standard one you see in many other pedals. Thanks!
Brian i buy this amazing pedal !
Do you use bright Switch on the hot rod Deluxe with the pinnacle or not ? What do you think ? Thanks
Are you sure they're not all the same circuits but a different box !and name !?? Lol 😁👍
Cheers Brian, having one of those pedals today great sounding distortion.
You're killing me Brian! What am I gonna tell my wife? 😆😆😆
What's the current draw of this pedal?
you sound great Brian! And you made a very versatile pedal. Nice!
This pedal sounds awseome, do you think i could get a nice pop punk tone out of it, or do you have a better pedal for that.
Managed to pick one up today from Andertons. Till today this is one of the best distortion.
love it going to order mine today i play 80s metal love the tone
Damn... another pedal to buy... it never ends.
Side-note... I really wish you'd go back to the screw type DC inputs. Those flush ones... when you put your board in a soft case, the DC pole can push those DC jacks in/around, whereas the screw mount ones don't move. I've got a green Tremolo pedal mounted on the top row of my board and it has the non-screw DC input. Every time I unpack my board, I have to push the DC input poll down, because during transit, it gets pushed up so the black plastic piece is inside the enclosure, and the pole shorts out against the pedal enclosure.
This pedals are boxed loaded with 9V battery.
If you use an ACDC adaptor, don't forget to take off the battery from inside.
It’s always a good habit to remove the battery but with guitar pedals the jack is wired in such a way that it disconnects the battery if you plug in an adapter
Yeap it's my main pedal
Oh Brian...You are a Wizard!! Don't have the $ at the moment to get this today, but this will be my next pedal! Of course I got an IndyGuitarist Plextortiom about a month and a half ago...and of course the one reason I went for that(awesome pedal in its own right) as opposed to the previous Pinnacle Deluxe was the 3band eq that the Pinnacle lacked! Whelp, you certainly know how to separate guitarists from their money!!! You've made a 3 run home run of a pedal into a Grand Slam!
I do have one question, and this is just because I can't think of anything else that could be done to make this pedal better: Would there be any way that an expression jack(trs hookup) could be added so someone could set up a simple foot switch that could allow one to switch from the vintage/modern settings without needing to physically reach down and flip the switch on the pedal? Please don't take that as a criticism in any way! That's the only thing I can possibly think of, and it's just a "convenience" thing rather than making anything "better!"
You're truly the King of Dirt, I and everyone should salute you!!
Waiting for mine I mail.i have the tumnus and catapult(awesome pedals,this one will be the cream on the cake),my blackstar S1-60 ,marshall jtm45 and fender hot rod deluxe series 1V won't know what hit them,unreal crazy lead tones,good one Brian!
Cool. A previous version is my high gain pedal. My main rock guitar has a Duncan Custom 5 with a coil split in the bridge and a Duncan P90 in the neck. My issue is the ideal clean pickup height creates a bunch sag with the humbucker when the pedal is active. It sags really badly and I needed to really lower the bridge pickup.
The real question is do I spend $240 just for the sag switch?
Please bring back the sparkles. They make the pedals sound better!
+GuitarParts101 it's still a bit sparkley, it just doesn't look like a bass boat anymore 😂
But Bass Boats are known for the amount of drive they have!! It makes perfect sense! hahaha
Really good sounds. Also your little push switches are simple but clever additions. Your Priest sound was missing a bit of that noisy dirtyness and couple of buckets of reverb etc ;) but honestly, great sounds just from the pedal alone. Very practical ranges. Who needs a Marshall anyway?!
I love top mounted jacks
Still like my cmatmods brownie distortion more cream and half the price
Brian, I currently use the Pinnacle Standard and I too sometimes have too much compression, but I am interested in this new version 2 of the Deluxe. Did you have the SAG enabled or disabled during this video? What removes the compression, when it's enabled or disabled?
Just recently replaced my first Pinnacle that went bad, with a Pinnacle Deluxe. When I was speaking with support, they said nothing about you might want to wait a couple months before you replace your old Pinnacle. What the heck!
I just bought it. I played the first deluxe version and then ordered the version 2 online cause its so hard to get it in stores in Netherlands (just here for vacations). sooo... I haven't really tried the v2 yet. but I love the version one so nothing to lose here.
Let me ask a stupid question: so while this pedal may be much more versatile than the original, can it still nail the Brown Sound just the same? If so, what settings? I'm trying to decide what version I want. Thank you!
OOOO this is ssssoooOOO sweet, now I am torn between the Plexi Drive Deluxe and this p2D! Better save up ... wonder how my Tweed 57 will sound with those ... yes BOTH is the only solution, I must buy both hehe!
So in short you wanted a all in one OD pedal? I am after that very thing, a pedal that will give me any OD tone i am after from Classic Marshall crunch to a old 1968 SLP with everything on 10 and with a variac lowering the volts to a high gain SLO type of tone.
I can't afford anymore Wampler pedals (there bloody expensive in Australia)!! Great job Brian, nice touch on the Tush and Pearl Jam, so many pedals...
Badass Pedal man WOW, I really like all the tones you got with it. I must have one. I can add all those tones to the things I do.
I'm usually a Amp Drive kinda guy but my amp is a 1 trick pony on the gain side which is High Gain. So I have a Fender like clean channel so I know I'll be able to achieve awesome tones with this pedal as an option on my board.
Nice work my man!
Why always a Fender amp? You have so many different amps a/b some of the different amps with the pedals.
brian just dunked the ball on all overdrive tones. every pedal ive heard of his is amp like. however i wish he woukd revisit the vox type pedals. maybe its something im doing wrong but i never quite nailed that perfect ac tone with the pedal. for all modulation strymon is the king for me.
I bought the original deluxe pedal a year ago and the new one has the features that the one I bought lacked. OK so I'll get the new one but what can I do with the old one? Can you offer a mod or something that we can utilise? Just asking. Doesn't hurt to ask!
I just bought the Digital Pedal for Amplitube 4.
THANK YOU, KIND SIR, for making the Pinnacle Deluxe available!
Are you planning on making V2 available as well?
Thank you again for the digital version of it.
Cheers!
Had the Pinnacle since it was known as the Pinnacle II maybe its time to upgrade it....
Since you wanted the Pinnacle Deluxe to have the classic to modern sounds, how would differentiate the Pinnacle Deluxe from the Plexi Deluxe? More gain/distortion?
Would this sound good with a Marshall DSL40C (w/ G12M-65 Creamback from Sweetwater)?
Hey Brian you sold me! I was torn between the Plexi Drive Deluxe and the Pinnacle Deluxe v2. I ordered mine yesterday on preorder from Musicians Friend. Thanks for the demo and I look forward to trying it out!
If I combine the regular Pinnacle with the Tumnus Deluxe would that be the equivalent of the Pinnacle Deluxe?
Will this give a massive way huge Hendrix-Stevie Ray type tones? If not, what do you have to help get those types of tones?
Just a question Brian. Will you ever design a pedal that utilises actual valves/ tubes ? You know like the old pedals that did use valves or tubes.
Wonderful, another pedal I have to acquire. I can then sell the Pinnacle Limited I've had for several years. It's one of my faves, but I can't pass this new one up, and it does everything my old one does, and more.
Sounds incredible!
Hi Brian.
First of all thank you for your pedals!
I’m the owner of 6 Wampler OD/Distortion pedals.
Was wondering what type of Tube Screamer is on Pinnacle Delux boost switch (the right one)
Is it TS9 or TS10 type?
Wondering because I got Wampler Moxie pedal and thinking if I could use it instead of the booster on the Pinnacle Deluxe or it’s gonna be different sound.
Thank you in advance for your answer Brian.
On the pin dlx it’s more of a ts9 but the differences between ts10 and ts9/808 is pretty minimal. The Moxie has some great tweaks to that type of circuit though
@@wampler_pedals thank you for the answer. Appreciate!!!
Hello all! I really dig this pinnacle V2 but I'd love to be able to controle It with a switcher ala Dual Fusion. Is there a Wampler Custom shop?
