Recognized as one of this generation's most influential guitarists, Andy Wood spent most of his childhood playing and competing in festivals, and touring the bluegrass circuit with his cousin and grandfather. By age 22, he was demonstrating his incredible electric guitar skills and being named Guitar Center's "Guitarmageddon" champion. Andy has toured professionally with a plethora of acts from Rascal Flatts, Gary Allan, Scott Stapp, and Sebastian Bach, and has completely blurred the lines between genres with his latest album "Junktown" - which masterfully displays different playing styles and progressive southern inspired fusion. Junktown was even recorded with a prototype of what became the Wampler Gearbox Andy Wood Signature Overdrive.

Channel 1 is based on the revered Wampler Tumnus, and perfectly compliments any board setup and playing style. Versatile enough to stack with another pedal or help push and shape the front end of your amplifier, you can use this channel as a standalone overdrive, or as your "always-on" tonal secret sauce. Channel 2 is based on one of Wampler's most coveted distortion pedals, the Pinnacle - delivering that iconic "Brown Sound" that so many crave. The three-band EQ lets you dial in a blistering lead tone, while the integrated noise gate maintains the clarity of your signal. Stack both channels together for complete sonic bliss, and lose yourself in the warm, yet brutal grit, delicate and controllable harmonic content, and stunning distortion that cuts through the densest of mixes.
