i'd recommend to put the smaller pedals on top of the bigger ones, otherwise they might fall over (especially when you stack more than three pedals)

Love the Tumnus Deluxe. I've had it for a couple years and last week I sitting and playing with my phone on my knee. It slid off and landed straight down on the switch and broke it. Emailed Wampler and told them what happened with a few pics and wanted to know what it would take to get it fixed. They sent me 2 new switches with no hassle. Awesome customer service from these guys.

Brian saw my post on a broken pedal I'd just bought used on eBay (I bought it working). He told me where to send it to be fixed for free. I told him I bought it used and it was out of warranty. He said don't worry about that! He got it fixed for me totally free :D

People think the Tumnus, Klon, Architect, Merman, etc. are transparent -- for those that do not know -- because of the way the drive / gain knob works. It is a dual gang pot, meaning it is essentially two pots in one (not a dual concentric knob). As you turn down the drive knob, the gain circuit is mixed out in favor of the clean signal. The drive portion of the signal is very mid range heavy, while the clean portion of the circuit is "transparent."

@@scrummyvision If memory serves, the circuits splits the signal into three sections: the 'clean' signal, the 'distortion/overdrive' signal (which is supposedly based on the DOD 250/MXR Dist+ circuit), and then the bass/low end is processed outside of that. The treble affects the signal and is patched in from the last opamp section. There is a Tube Screamer version from Maxon (more or less; the hard clipping overdrive section is a soft clipping Tube Screamer instead).

I love that you are wearing another youtubers merch. The way you guys support each other is awesome!

Another neat trick is to stick a delay pedal between the two distortion/overdrive pedals. You don't need to use much to realize a great tone. It's something that Carlos Santana is credited with doing.

I just added a Faux Tape Echo because it has tap. I put that after my gain but kept my Belle Epoch which I also like but no tap and put it before gain for classic sounds but maybe I should put it between both pedals.

That cat was like "Who you trying to get crazy with esse? Don't you know I'm loco?"

The cat is back! Your Tumnus still sounds like Tumnus - pure gold.

Thank you for another great vid Brian!! You, and your pedals are the best, and have improved my life a lot!!

You are great Mr Wampler! Thanks for all the pedal advice!

Thanks again for another well done video. Informative and easy to understand. I love my Pantheon, as well. Looking forward to swapping it around now that you offered some excellent clarity on the matter.

Brian's videos are, as always, eminently educational.

I am currently running an OCD into a Beetronix Overhive into a Tumnus... quite enjoying the variabilities! Thanks for another great video, Brian!

Love my Pantheon. Though the Pantheon and Tumnus should be the newest 2-in-1 pedal.

Can I just say thank you for making the Tumnus. It's such a simple yet powerful pedal. I use it going through my orange rocker and it's basically acts as my dirty channel. I have a ts9 after it that adds the mid hump I need for solo's. What blew my mind when I first started using the Tumnus was how powerful the volume knob is! It's so versatile with other pedals but just as a normal overdrive it sounds beautiful.

Thanks. This is a helpful video. I enjoy stacking a tumnus deluxe into a snouse Black box 2. I like having the extra control over the mids, particularly as the gain is up on the on the tumnus.

Wow that Tumnus pedal is straight up 70’s Hard Rock tone heaven! Great sound!

Brian, thank you for these videos. And also your 'nerd' videos. Its really helped me to understand the multiple ways to use distortion pedals. Also,not much on modulation, but still find it interesting

Good lordt!! That Pantheon sounds so good. Can’t wait to get mine tomorrow. (It better be here tomorrow!) and boost it with my Tumnus!! Can’t believe I waited this long to order a Pantheon. Wampler Dirt is good Dirt!

I am a clean tone freak and here I am listening to this genius channel.

I have been stacking pedals for quite awhile now. However, this maybe one of the best explanation of how stacking pedals really works. Thank you.

Great video Brian! Especially for a relative newbie. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I was mostly an acoustic player and have ventured into the electric world. I'm focused on overdrives and experimenting with the King of Tone, Mojomojo, and ODR-1, but now it seems I'll need to try the Tumnus and Pantheon. Great stuff, and thank you for the very useful video.

I've been running a Nu-Tube into a MXR Zakk Wylde overdrive, it's definitely a different setup, very lively! Really love this topic!

Damn. The Pantheon and Tumnus sound amazing individually but takes it to the next level when you stack them!

Love your channel Brian... Your pedals are awesome...

I totally appreciate that you used “tighter” to describe the overall tone that we get. That has help me heaps in looking for the tone I’m trying to hit.

If you add a tube screamer or similar pedal to an amps dirty channel it tightens up. Keep gain on amp and pedal fairly low though.

Tumnus paired with Pantheon = magic

Superbly helpful tutorial. A Proper education!

Amazing combination (Tumnus & Pantheon). I recently bought the Tumnus Deluxe and Nobels ODR-1 BC. I kept both in the end. I have now 3 Wampler pedals on my board and love them all very much.

Have a klon... Convinced now that I will be ordering a Patheon. Thanks for these awesome videos Brian.

Wow that was excellent Brian. Gain stacking experimentation here we come!

Wow - great info! I just ran my Tumnus into an old Boss DS 1 Distortion and it cleaned it up and made my humbucker power chords crisper and more articulate. I hate muddiness and fuzz!

Very informative Brian, Thanks! I will now be swapping pedals this weekend

One of my favorite tones is the Pantheon into the Paisley Drive. Pantheon is set up for a medium gain, loose but airy type tone, then the Paisley Drive comes in with a mid bump and volume boost for lead tones. Super awesome with medium to high output pickups

thanks for these cool tips !

I ordered a Tumnus yesterday, so I'm excited to be adding my second Wampler product to my gear. The "pedal platform" ideology is brand new to me in spite of playing out regularly for over 30 years, but it's cool that you are as dedicated to showing how to really get the most out of these pedals as you are in building them. Wampler absolutely rocks, hands down. Side note: all those crazy "pedal platform" discussions I'd brush off over the years... those people were RIGHT!! Late to the party... :D

This is the advise I'm looking fr. Thanks!

Good advice! I'm going to try these concepts in the HX Stomp.

I already wanted to try both of these pedals and now you made this video..... hahah great tips! I currently stack a TS mini into an OCD to get my tones, but none of them have a lot of EQ options

Tumnus for the solo boost! Placed between my rythem pedal (paisley) and the amp. Leave the rythem pedal on. Creamy crunchy goodness. You can see it on their faces.

I have a tumnis into the archer, sounds really good, for awhile I had the tumnis into OCD that was really good too. I found I liked the OCD by its self though and I have a hard time switching to the other channels because I'm hooked on the OCD. My three other channel options are a plimsoul by its self, then the tumnis/archer and then a OMG (Richie Kotson signature ) driven by a mutt overdrive/fuzz type that I bought used cause it sounded so good. Mutt in that it was built by someone locally but not a production name brand thing. If that makes sense... Has no markings on it three pots and two toggles one toggle is three positions the other is two position. They do change the tone or overall sound when I fiddle with em. Stacking with the OMG is awesome, sound is humongous and mean, like all the hornets are are mad and coming for ya. lol... Thanks for the tips, that did help plus gave me some ideas and justified my continuing on the chase for tone. lol... 🎸🤓🎸🇺🇸☮

Pretty much all I use is your pedals. Need to try your amp?? I use older Fender and Matchless. Great job!!!!!!! Love your products...

Tumnus is the best first stage overdrive available nowadays. Mine is always on at low gain. I have tried many many others (SD1, TS808, POT, Klon KTR, Moonshine, Amp11), but the Tumnus is by far the best one and makes my other distortion/overdrives to shine. Congrats on such an amazing pedal.

I have to say - the Pantheon is one of those pedals I NEVER consider taking off my board... I just love it as a mid gain sound by itself, or being pushed for a higher gain. But now I feel like an idiot because one of the few pedals I haven't tried in front of it is the Tumnus!

Your awesome with information on pedals

I say this as often as often as i get a chance to, i built a Brian May style Treble Booster that sounds incredible and when i use it to boost the Klon Clone i also built its magic into my Marshall DSL100HR. The klon was just a pedal kit and one of the first kits i did and it sounds really great also. The warm/transparent tone of the klon works really great with the articulate high end/mid boost of the treble booster. I also added a tone selector switch to the treble booster and auditioned capacitors until i found the perfect ones for stock/treble boost, mid boost, and full range bass boost. But the Klon also sounds great being boosted by a normal TS9 for a more modern tone.

I need both of these.

I stacked an original bud box distortion plug into the tumnus tonight. It was cool. Volume up and gain down on the mxr, gave the tumnus such a thick fat bottom end.

Great Content

Nice work Brian Mico K

Good stuff!

Imo this is what makes stacking fun- I can take some of the drive pedals I have that have fixed parameters and no eq and run them through a pedal that has EQ, contour, presence, etc.- and totally change the sound. In fact, I have a few drive pedals I was going to get rid of because I didn't care for the way they sounded- until I ran them through a pedal that had the controls I wanted- now they sound amazing. The Rat for instance, not really my cup of tea- too muffled sounding, but you hit it with a midrange boost and keep the dist. turned way down- sounds great. It does a lot for my clean tone as well because I have all that eq ability built into my signal chain- just turn the drive pedals on and kill the gain. The only issue I run into sometimes- too many pre-amps. It can get a little aggravating sometimes when you have 3-4 different EQs in the chain to try and tweak.

thanks for the tips

I use Xotic SP Comp (always on/subtle squeeze) into Mini TS into Mini Tumnus...TS for light blues...Tumnus for creamy boost...both on for great lead blues/rock OD/Dist.

I wouldn't dream of telling you anything about how you should run pedals or stack drives, but for me personally I run my Tumnus Deluxe at the end of my drive chain rather than at the front. I run my Tumnus in a typical Klon mode with gain at about 10:00 and level at about 2:00, and let the Tumnus spread its buttery goodness all over everything else. And I leave my Tumnus on all the time unless I am just looking for super clean sparkly tone. In front of the Tumnus I have a custom Tube Screamer and a Boss SD2. When I want a lot of crunch I turn on the SD2 and when I want distortion I turn on the TS turned way up on the gain. And when I want nasty I turn on all 3. I think the Tumnus Deluxe EQ gives me the best tone control which is why I put it last in the chain, and then when I discovered I just like to leave it on all the time it made sense for me to leave it there. Of course, since I don't have a Pantheon my options are a little different than yours. Thanks for the video. You make great pedals and have a wonderful way of teaching to boot. And that you know who Tumnus is makes me especially happy. :)

That first thing was pretty neat. I want a pedal with Both a tumnus and a pantheon. Kinda like a king of tone kinda thing. With a switchable arrangement setting (tumnus into Pantheon or vise versa).

I've been stacking a pantheon into a tumnus deluxe, but after watching this I am definitely going to try flipping them around! Great video!

Pantheon is my favourite pedal !

GREAT SOUNDS and GREAT VIDEO as usual... I have a Soverign and a Tumnus. Can you do a video with those 2 pedals... I also use a SoulPog and i cant decide what i wanna use or what i wanna have first or second or third in the chain. I get great tones with all but just curious i guess on the many variations and combinations with the pedals. I use a Mesa Boogie JP2C into a 1x12 open back cab and LOVE how all the pedals sound through the clean channel of the boogie. I see we got a new Whitfill Tele... She's PURTY. Sounds great also.

Thank you for the info!!! good!!

I sometimes front load my Pinnacle deluxe with a klon type pedal. When you also engage boost on the Pinnacle- it gets pretty sick. In a good way. I wish you could flip the order of effects on the Pinnacle- maybe an idea for V3? 🤓🤘🏻🎸

I like to stack my drive pedals from less gainy od to one with most gain distortion. It's that because, on a high gain stage I would like the character of the more gainy pedal, that's why I have it in the first place. From Wampler I use a Plextortion right on the end of my gain stage and it works fine for me

So can we think of a pedal board as a macro circuit? Wonderful video.
