Wampler Clarksdale Delta Overdrive Manual

TM

-

roads of Clarksdale, Mississippi – the birthplace of the Delta Blues. This 

historic town, and the famous music that was created there, is respon-

sible for the inspiration behind this pedal – The 

Clarksdale Delta

Overdrive

. 

Unlike the traditional screamer type of overdrives, The Clarksdale has a 

more transparent drive when turned down and even more usable gain

that won’t fizz out when cranked up! Now you can dial in your tone 

faster and more efficiently no matter what the gig is!

True By-pass Relay Switch:  

We use a true-bypass relay because it utilizes a quieter and smoother 

switch that is more reliable than traditional bypass switches. Your original tone/signal will remain 

unaffected when the pedal is not engaged.

Volume: 

This control adjusts the output level of the Clarksdale. The Clarksdale was designed to have higher 

output. This allows the Clarksdale to have more headroom when needed. The output volume, Gain and 

Tone controls all have an impact on the total volume, so you might want to adjust the Volume after you 

have dialed in the other controls. Re-adjustment might be necessary if you get it to the desired level and 

still need to tweak the sound.

Clarksdale - Delta Overdrive

Input and Output

: The input jack is located on the top right of the pedal, above the treble control and the 

output is the other side of the power input, above the bass control.

The Clarksdale is Brian’s take on the world famous 

Tube Screamer

® 

circuit – with a few great Wampler styled improvements of course. 

Brian wanted to create a pedal that would be true to the sound 

and feel of the original but would have a wider range of tonal 

options – to satisfy even the biggest tone chasers out there.

The Clarksdale will be the last pedal that is based off of this familiar 

vintage circuitry that you will ever need. Your search for the perfect 

vintage midrange infused overdrive is finally over.
