Cranked OD - 2014 Limited Edition Overdrive

Cranked 

OD

Every since Wampler Pedals discontinued the original version 

“Cranked AC” we have been having tons and tons of customer 

requests for a re-release of that pedal. While the original sounded 

pretty good – Brian knew that he could make it sound great! So after 

some tinkering on the breadboard, we are proud to announce the 

CRANKED. A pedal truly worthy of its name!

The Cranked picks up where the Thirty Something leaves off. This 

pedal is a tribute to those famous British amps that are running wide 

open. Whether at bedroom volume or full on stage rock stardom – 

you can achieve truly cranked up tones at any time. 

After revisiting the original unit, there just had to be some updates. 

Starting with an active 3 band EQ. Now you can dial in or take out as 

much of each frequency as you want; totally tonal control! 

The Cranked is strictly limited edition overdrive – this is your chance 

to own a piece of history, with a twist. 

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.

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 Cranked. The Cranked was designed to have higher 

output. This allows the Cranked 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.
