Designed To Be the Ultimate Distortion

The Wampler Sovereign distortion pedal was engineered by Brian Wampler to give you ideal distorted tone. Sweetwater players know that's a tall order, but the pedal's controls for gain, bright, boost, and mid behavior can get you there by letting you dial in a wide range of sounds, from thick and fluid to cutting and aggressive. And it does it all while maintaining a huge amount of clarity and touch responsiveness. Unlike many other highly regarded overdrive units, the Sovereign wasn't built to emulate any other distortion circuits. It was built to be better than them.

Wampler Sovereign Distortion Pedal Features:
  • Distortion pedal designed to be your go-to tone
  • Mid Behavior control goes from aggressive to creamy
  • Gain control will do metal and fluid fusion tones
  • Bright and Boost controls further dial in your sound
  • True bypass when disengaged
The Sovereign Distortion may take the place of several dirt boxes on your board.

INCREDIBLE NEW FLAVOR OF DISTORTION!
Rated 5/5

"The" Sound!

For me this pedal, just as advertised, has "The" Sound. True distortion but every note rings through clearly on chords, no distorted mush that I get with some distortion pedals. For single note leads every note sings! A bit heavy for some lighter music but when looking for a strong distorted sound, this pedal is awesome.

Decided to return, but still a perfect pedal

This thing is amazing. Such a wide variety of tones from a transparent overdrive to full-on metal. My favorite features are the mid contour and the vintage switch. I ultimately decided to return this pedal because I have a Friedman Smallbox and a DS-1, so I was able to get a very similar tone between those two and I couldn't justify the money and space on my board for this.
Rated 5/5

Great Distortion Pedal

Killer distortion pedal for someone looking for versatility!

If you take all the DISTORTION PEDALS that are available in the pedal marketplace, the SOVEREIGN does it ALL. From slight overdrive to creamy notes to all out metal. This is the pedal that you need.
