A Tone Shaping Beast | Wampler Tumnus Deluxe

[@fastfrankblack]

This pedal is the best thing I’ve ever bought. Having the eq to sculpt your tone before it hits the amp is priceless.

[@mojobag01]

Glad I spent a little extra for the Deluxe. The EQ is superb.

[@MattGoodreau]

I just discovered you, Rabea. I've been looking at getting the Tumnus for a while now and this is the best review I've seen of any pedal really. I appreciate you taking the time to show all the different applications, not just how it sounds. I wish more gear reviews were this informative. Thanks a bunch. You rock!!! 🤘

[@francisgori5631]

Rabea- Great job on the demo. I almost bought the original Tumnus a couple weeks ago, until the guy in the shop said a Deluxe version was coming out- glad I waited! Wanted to add- I’ve been following you, and Rob etc. for about two years. I wanted to say it’s been wonderful watching you develop beyond your “metal”, Nuno Bettencourt style- into an incredibly soulful, lyrical player as well! This, paired with your kindness, openness, and the general great person vibe you exude is really an inspiration! Kudos to you on being an all around great presence in this world of KZbin!

[@alexwoolridge94aw]

The real magic happens when you boost a full on cranked Tumnus deluxe with a regular Tumnus mini. My favorite drive tones come from stacking the two.

[@swissarmyknight4306]

I have one and its hands down the best overdrive I have. It sounds great with all my amps, even my solid state practice amp, but the three band EQ really puts it over the top. My tubescreamer just doesn't get used as much now.

[@jefferson4245]

Dead thread here, but I love this pedal with the gain at 3 o'clock. Singles or humbuckers, low or hot switch, that's where I get sounds that make me want to keep playing. Edge-of-break-up gain levels also work really well for chords, blues, etc. It's all there with the 3-band EQ.

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

I got one a few days ago and the really scary thing is with the Hot switch engaged and the gain dimed it does better djenty rhythm distortion than my sodding £1700 Mesa head. I just got it for gentle low-gain crunch - was NOT expecting that.

[@relevantinformation6655]

I feed a Silver Archer into it as a pre boost. Sounds amazing if both are set moderately. I also use an Ego sustainer occasionally in front of those two. But the gain has to be down a bit. The reason I ordered the Tumnus deluxe is because of the active bass eq. I have 2 Marshall 100 watt heads and cabs running in stereo. When playing at “WIFE FRIENDLY LEVELS” there is no bottom end. The Tumnus helps immensely :)

[@ianalderman9290]

Been watching all the Tumnus Deluxe demos and I'm definitely grabbing one! This has all the stuff I wish the original had and am glad to have waited!

[@Yupppi]

I should've instantly come to your channel when I was trying to look for good demos of Tumnus. Surprising how little people demo it hitting their guitar hard or it being other than telly. You know how to go full range from little to full.

[@jodiallardice1500]

I wish I could play like you. Everything is so could, the technique, the tone, the personality, god. I’ve been playing for five years and am alright at it, but god I will never have the god tier ability that you have. Keep o. Making these awesome demos!!!

[@luthiervandros]

Check your attitude. You can do anything you focus your efforts on. Don’t limit yourself.

[@Bluebear2016]

Thanks so much for showing it before and after overdrive. I have my mini before and wanted to see how the EQ influenced the sound before. It’s more subtle than after but didn’t over power it like it did after.

[@markusreeves]

so much more inteligent reveiwing than laurel n hardy on the andertons channel haha ... an actual useful workout of the pedal in the real world .. top stuff dude =]

[@sgmarshall3]

Great demo! I'd say there are three tones in here that are absolutely fantastic. When the pedal is set for clean boost for both guitars, and when you had the strat into the drive channel with medium gain. Fantastic!

[@petruccirocks02]

Thanks for combining the Tumnus Deluxe and Paisley Deluxe, Rabbea! I was on the fence about which one to buy but now I’ll be ordering both! They’ll be my first Wampler pedals. I played the Tumnus Deluxe today and a couple other times and it slays! Those two pedals really sound amazing stacked!

[@tjrmusic487]

Man, this guy can play. I'm convinced fully now that the Deluxe is getting on my board!

[@iN3XT]

Bea, I have to say that you really upped your video game once again over the last few months. You took care of being more self-confident as a moderator and fluent as a speaker, which makes watching your content so easy to follow and so fun to watch! Overall, the structure of your latest product demonstrations has been chosen greatly. It displays the variety of usecases and difference between them very clearly. Greetings from Germany, rock on!

[@GJSsongsmith]

Awesome demo Rabea . Just bought one of these , frickin’ amazing on its own and stacked with my Keeley drive ! Best reviews on KZbin . Love your playing man , nice chords half way through on the strat . Cheers

[@jukup1]

Great demo and playing Bea! Appreciate how you demoed the pedal with the dirty channel as well. That is how I use most of my OD pedals, and nobody demos them that way. Thanks!

[@jeffwhitley9624]

Watched a few Tumnus Deluxe reviews... Rabea, have to say well done sir! Great review!

[@NelsLindahl]

Your style of playing in this video has been matched by epic tonality. Thank you for the videos they are informative and a nice listen.

[@stratodan27]

Awesome demo Rabea. My Tumnus Deluxe is arriving today in the mail. Your video helped me decide to get one. Thank you!

[@mikecruise6991]

I really like the eq on this pedal more than I expected 😎🎸

[@kylebichler2258]

Just got a Tumnus Deluxe. It’s so versatile. For people that don’t like it, I don’t think they know how to use it. This pedal makes everything sound sweeter.

[@alexdutton228]

That pinch at 12:45! A little bit of wee came out..

[@rikh78]

you are one of the most listenable guitarists on youtube, always original sounding and inspiring. You and Doug Rappoport are my 2 faves!

[@ianalderman9290]

Moltisanti I really liked your Engl Screamer 50 where you played the different metal riffs. I was looking at that amp a few years ago and I think you did really well on it. I have to agree with you on Rabea and Doug Rappaport though, phenomenal beast guitarists!

[@rikh78]

haha thanks Ian, that was a LONG time ago :)

[@ianalderman9290]

Moltisanti It definitely was awhile ago! Some days it doesn't seem like it though. I'll have to check out some more of your recent stuff man!

[@Ainsley.Silver]

most of us viewers are here just to hear you play bea

[@j.harris1351]

Ainsley solomon i second that motion

[@cbeserra]

Yeah, ditto

[@donkeevney]

I’m not.

[@kevindavid37]

Also because we know he‘s gonna make anything sound like what we want it to sound like.

[@bradkillingsworth4137]

Can confirm

[@carldemelo1132]

Awesome demo. Very detailed. I stack the Tumnus with the JHS AT. Killer stacked sound🎸🤘🏼🇵🇹🇺🇸

[@craighughes-shug6694]

Ive never really paid attention to your playing before watching andertons videos but wow your a brilliant player

[@guismth]

Hey Rabea..... when you gonna do "sound like Rabea on a budget"?? ;)

[@waylenbeare1020]

Heh you can't get a kraken on a budget

[@JessieThorne886]

Budget Victory amps and budget Strymon pedals, with a budget classic strat! The amp part will be toughest, I guess.

[@marmadukewinterbotham2599]

It must be an optical illusion - but that Strat looks like a miniature one!

[@j.sakanaru3067]

Marmaduke Winterbotham Hes a big dude

[@dryocum]

I was thinking the same thing! I think it’s the Fro that makes it look smaller!

[@riheg]

Yeah he’s so small he needs a guitar for kids 😀 imagine how good he will be when he grows up 😂

[@pedrobarnez5502]

dude his hands are huge! lol...i noticed that too

[@AlexRooneyComposer]

I see you acquired a Synth. Any chance of some dirty synth lines in Dorje and Toska?

[@dryocum]

It seems to add more harmonic definition and articulation in the tone stack! Or at least allowing more to go through! Sounds more musical to my ears!

[@DasOmen02]

9:10 that chord progression sounded absolutely amazing

[@dobby240]

Whens the new toska stuff out. Iv been playing your "new chapman guitar model" video over and over.

[@gibek2600]

me too

[@charlesbaranyi7474]

dobby240 ii

[@yarinankori6720]

Can you do a video about the synthisizer in the back?

[@hockeyman2274]

Just purchased this one yesterday can wait to try it.

[@GregVasquez777]

The Tumnus always sounds so tight. I want to try one. I seem to dislike most of the recordings of the distorted sound the Tumnus gives. In the high end of the tone it sounds keyboardish and less tone like, or to digital, then the way it fades also mechanical or something. I still want to get one because it seems like a lot of great guitarists like them. Might be something in the recorded sounds.

[@5tw8se74]

Your video is the convincing reason why I bought my Tumnus Deluxe

[@joshmuz9018]

Dude those are some srv sized hands, holy heck

[@Firebrandrock]

Great video, absolutely killer with the PRS......smoking gain but still articulate. Enjoy your videos....nice bro!

[@deyandimitrov7287]

Cool. I need a drive that can go sweet and smooth but can also go high gain if needed. I have the mini Tumnus and I love it to bits, but this looks like an expansion that can be a more versatile all round kind of thing.

[@pauldavis3904]

Your studio has changed in 18 months jezzzz. You have all the gear i lust for haha

[@erieschl]

In this episode of Rabea makes stuff sound cool

[@oscarm4154]

The Clean boost is awesome

[@deathhockey19]

I would love to see more klon style pedals being used instead of a tube screamer to boost high gain amps in demo videos, they sound insane for that application.

[@justinneafsey5990]

Luke Norman true. My buddy uses a saucy box (dunlops klon clone) and it pushes the shit out of the front of his marshall and the roll down dynamic is still really awesome

[@deathhockey19]

Like most Metal heads I've been using tube screamers for years, but i ind using a klon style just give a much cleaner richer boost. Plus gives you a unique tone compared to the standard TS.

[@justinneafsey5990]

Luke Norman yeah i have noticed that as well. Very awsome sounding.

[@LuisHernandez-dy1rq]

I had two buy two One used as a clean boost and the other on the hot mode for the rock songs

[@nickardasis4]

Fantastic demo Rabea, and great playing as always. Wampler has so many good overdrive pedals, its impossible to decide which one to get at this point. I'd love to see a Euphoria or Clarksdale video someday.

[@kevinmusso2397]

Good grief what a gorgeous PRS

[@riheg]

Kevin Musso I have a craving for chocolate cake now. Thanks Bea

[@UndeadShinobi158]

might actually buy this as my first pedal. seriously good

[@ianalderman9290]

Connor Alex I think that will be one hell of a first pedal! Mine is coming home very soon and I don't think that you'd be disappointed at all.

[@CorbCorbin]

I don't think that would be a bad decision at all. Even if you end up wanting something with higher gain capability later, this will work as an incredible boost/tone shape device.

[@ianalderman9290]

Connor Alex I just got mine about an hour ago. Honestly you will be thoroughly happy with It! I've been playing for a very long time and I don't see myself buying drive pedals anymore. For me, this is it.

[@sirnasty1553]

Ian Alderman Is it good for modern metal?

[@JediAxis]

I'm using the standard (mini) Tumnus currently and LOVE IT. Do you think there is enough of a difference to warrant upgrading to the Deluxe?

[@GigglingDickhead]

Interesting to see this vid come out after chappers and lee unceremoniously rubbished the wampler pinnacle in the blind test of distortion pedals

[@JasonAyalaSpare]

Sounds killer! The question is however, does the Tumnus Deluxe make it on your board?

[@jessereyna7408]

Have you done a demo for the wampler deluxe drive v2 yet? I’d like to see that; since I’ve liked almost all of your demos so far?

[@austinfailz]

The tone Rabea got on the crunch channel were pretty stellar. Damn. I think we found George Lynch's boost pedal for at least a week. Lol

[@modelcitizen1977]

I was literally thinking exactly the same thing about that Strat when you stopped and said something. I had given up on my Strat ever sounding heavy. You’re my new favorite gear reviewer until maybe Koch starts doing pedals.

[@acekoolio819]

Such a glorious tone Rabea!. The reverb is fantastic too. I was wondering if you could remember the reverb fx you had used as I am always struggling with high gain and reverb. You nailed both! Would it be the Strymon Big sky or was it from your Daw? thanks and keep up the reviews!

[@FernandoRivera-dm7hh]

WAIT BEA YOURE ALMOST AT 150K YEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[@simonwilliams9916]

God damn it! Enough already! 😆👍🤘🏻🎸🎸🎸 I loved loved loved the sound of the chords. 🤘🏻🎸🎸🎸

Hey Bea, I know you're a big fan of Extreme but I wanted to know what you think about songs of theirs like "He-man woman hater." I'd like to think I know your views there, but I wanted to ask anyway.

[@tonelocrian]

Great demo Rabea as always.

[@BakerImageGroup]

That diddly at 6:10 Wow! Really nice!

[@wjdavey3]

Wow Rabea!!!! As always, Exceptional Performance!!!! And, Excellent and Informative Review!!!! I just Ordered this Amazing Pedal!!!! Thanks Rabea!!!!

[@joerodriguez1797]

Definitely planning on purchasing the Tumnus Deluxe to use on my clean amp, with one Tube Screamer., stacking party... Thanks for posting the Tumnus D.with the equalizer, more knobs, I'm ok with it on this one, digging it!

[@zacharykim295]

How do you like it? Would like to stack a ts with a tumnus deluxe myself... the mids knob seems to be useful for dialing out that hump

[@slithergore]

I think I’m gonna get it. Sounds fantastic.

[@JesseLeeKing]

What would be the best Distortion Pedal or overall Pedal to pair with this tumnus?

[@beestew79]

A lot of people say the Pantheon stacks really well with the Tumnus.

[@JulesNoir820]

Hey Bea! Just got this for my 22nd, would a tube screamer set for the typical TS boost be good after this? Cheers 🤘

[@bgayer1]

Building a mini pedal board on the Boss BCB 60 platform. I’d love to see you slam one together and hear your opinions on which pedals are must haves and what order. 🤘🏻RAUK!

Like always beautiful guitar playing I got this pedal coming in the mail should be here all today is Tuesday she'll be here tomorrow I've had the origin Revival Overdrive for about 3 weeks now I'm not real happy with it so I'm going to give this a whirl what do you think keep up all the videos I'll keep watching thanks buddy love to hear you play

[@michaellandrumguitar]

great job sir

[@jhonpasquez6145]

Compared to the Friedman buxon boost?? I really like the sound of this pedal to boost my Marshall jubalee 100w up a bit.

[@midasmazairac3226]

Hey Bea, I really like your video's amd I'm really interested in (buying) the gfi systems specular reverb, can you do an in-depth review of that?

Sound great but have been using an SD-1 for twenty years and don't want to learn something if I don't need it.

[@MrBluebilko]

Like this...lots! Gorgeous sounding pedal 😍

[@JaymeSilverstein]

@Rabea. How would you compare the Tumnus to the Friedman Small Box? I already have the Small Box from watching your demo of it and I really like it! Would you say there is overlap between these two pedals or are they different enough to have both?

hey bea, do you switch your picking technique from a down stroke with the back edge of the pick or on the front edge? sometimes it looks like you use the back side and switch to the front for the squealing etc. .. could just be hidden so I can't tell

Can anyone answer a question for me? What do I do with two germanium fuzz pedals in the my pedal order? I know germanium fuzzes should go first in the chain, or maybe after a true bypass tuner, but what do you do with two germanium fuzzes? Now, both are germanium/silicon hybrids if that makes any difference; a Catalinbread Karma Suture and an Earthquaker Hoof. Can I have both on my board at the same time?
