The Triumph is a dual-voice overdrive that Wampler built around two drives Brian Wampler names as long-time favourites, the Bad Monkey and the SD-1. Volume and Gain sit alongside a 3-band EQ, and Wampler added further EQ stages and internal circuit changes that put a glassy layer of overtones on top.
The voicing switch does the most work. Smooth mode builds gain progressively with a classic mid-hump, the liquid side of the pedal. Punch mode opens the voicing up, compresses less and tightens the low end, so it follows your picking hand more closely and gives each note more definition. It takes 9V to 18V DC, runs 3PDT true bypass, and the jacks and power connector are all top-mounted.
Into a clean amp it gives you mid-forward blues grit; into an amp that is already crunching, Wampler says it adds bite. For a klone-style boost in a smaller enclosure, look at the Tumnus.
