Phenom Distortion
An affordable, dynamic high-gain distortion pedal using JFET-based clipping instead of the usual op-amp/diode approach, loosely inspired by '5150' amp tones.
About this pedal
Part of Wampler’s budget-friendly Collective Series, the Phenom Distortion uses JFET-based clipping rather than traditional op-amp and diode clipping stages, giving it a dynamic response loosely in the direction of high-gain ‘5150’-style amp tones.
