Wampler Euphoria User Manual

Brian's take on the elusive "D" sound and much, much, more...
The Euphoria Overdrive is a very capable pedal. Designed to do a huge
range of sounds but never to overpower your fundamental tone, this is
the drive for people who know they have a good guitar and know they
have a quality amp, but want to take it farther, make it better – without
sacricing any of the great things that they already get from their setup.
Flexibility comes from three distinct options for the drive method, and as
a result the drive tone. The design of the tone controls oers simplicity
and power combined. Your new Euphoria Overdrive will take you places
that are familiar, but distinct.
Your fundamental sound will be preserved, but your tone will be greatly
enhanced, and the power to determine in just what ways is all at your
ngertips. All this, built into a pedal which is capable among other things
of achieving a sound highly reminscent of those famous "D" amps...
Is it any wonder we call it Euphoria?
To get the most out of your new pedal, you'll want to become very familiar with the controls. The Euphoria Overdrive
is not dicult to learn, but it will reward time spent understanding how the controls interact and how the dierent
drive modes contribute their own take on the sound. It is a complete tonal package, and includes a true-bypass
footswitch for signal purity, plus all the control you need for a great non-bypassed signal: knobs for Gain, Volume,
Tone, Bass, and a three-way switch to adjust between gain modes, labeled Smooth, Open, and Crunch. We'll spend
some time explaining the Tone and Bass controls, as they have a huge amount of sound-shaping potential and it's
important to understand how they work, and of course you need to know about the three dierent gain modes to
get the most out of the pedal. Experiment and enjoy!
Bypass Switch – A true-bypass footswitch ensures solid, mechanical removal of the circuit when it isn't wanted,
meaning you don't lose any tone when the pedal is o.
Volume – This control adjusts the output level of the Euphoria Overdrive. There is ample volume on tap to boost your
signal substantially, if you want to do that, but it also ensures that reaching unity output (the same signal level
engaged as when the pedal is bypassed) is a breeze. Note, there is a volume output level dierence in each of the
three gain toggle switch modes. Most notably, the middle mode, "Open," has a large volume jump. Take caution to
adjust the Volume knob lower when switching to "Open" mode to prevent a very loud jump in the signal level.
