Brian Wampler

From humble beginnings of modding pedals to today with full fledge production of his original designed boutique pedals – Brian Wampler, CEO of Wampler Pedals, Inc. is helping create some of the world’s best guitar tones – one tone filled pedal at a time.Brian first and foremost is a guitar player and has always been a “gear nut” – constantly trying different guitars, amps, pedals, and every combination thereof - always with the same goal of trying to achieve the best tone possible! The quest for great tones has been a life long endeavor that started from the time Brian was a kid watching his older brother’s band practice “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” over and over. Almost a decade later, Brian is still creating some of the world’s best guitar tones from his own boutique guitar pedal company.So why build guitar pedals for a living and why write about how others can jump in and build their own? In the beginning - every pedal on the market that Brian played just wasn’t producing the tones he was longing for. So instead of being unhappy with stock tones, he started tweaking and modding pedals here and there to get close to the tones he kept hearing in his head. He realized that while many think that they must have an Engineering degree to even start tinkering with pedals, it's simply not true. His goal is to show all of the tinkerers out there, all of those who love to work with their hands and love to create great guitar tones, most guitar electronics can be explained simply. And better yet, taught to anyone with a few basic tools, and the willingness to experiment.
