Wampler Golden Jubilee Drive Pedal

The Wampler Golden Jubilee is a dual-channel drive pedal engineered to capture the signature tones of 1980s British and American high-gain amplifiers in a compact format. Brian Wampler designed this US-built pedal as a practical solution for players seeking serious gain character without sacrificing note definition or pedalboard real estate. At 2.5" × 4.8" × 2.3", it delivers full-stack presence whilst remaining genuinely portable—ideal for touring musicians and fixed-rig studio setups alike.

The Golden Jubilee features two independent channels: a Distortion (DS) stage capturing the smooth articulation of boutique Californian amps, and an Overdrive (OD) channel delivering saturated British crunch. Each channel operates with separate Level, Gain, and Tone controls; character switches adjust the OD's gain profile and DS brightness independently. A third toggle reconfigures the stacking sequence, allowing either channel to drive the other. Power consumption sits at 30 mA across both 9V and 18V DC operation. Premium everald sparkle finish pairs with gold-anodised hardware; construction utilises high-grade components selected for superior responsiveness across clean tube amps, solid-state platforms, and digital rigs alike.

The pedal's signal path remains articulate at high-gain settings where competing designs lose definition, maintaining tight rhythm punch and cutting lead presence without muddiness. Studio players benefit from consistent, reliable operation night after night; home setups gain measurable tonal expansion from even modest amplifiers. Wampler backs every unit with a five-year limited warranty and includes a 5-year manufacturer guarantee reflecting genuine confidence in build quality and component longevity.
