The Gearbox is Wampler's Andy Wood signature dual overdrive, two independent drives in one enclosure. Channel 1 is a tweaked Tumnus with Volume, Gain and Tone. Channel 2 is a modified Pinnacle with Volume, Gain, Bass, Middle and Treble, plus its own noise gate. Wampler says the controls were set up so the pedal works with every knob near noon.
Run either channel alone, or both together to stack one into the other. The Order switch on top picks which drive comes first, and two pairs of input and output jacks let you treat it as two separate pedals on a board. It is relay true bypass, draws 52mA at 9V and ships with a battery. Wampler developed it with Andy Wood, who uses it live and in the studio.
For the Tumnus circuit on its own, look at the Tumnus. For the full Pinnacle with a boost and SAG switch, look at the Pinnacle Deluxe V2. Built in the USA.
