Brian Wampler has taken his intimate knowledge of circuits and built the Bravado from the ground up, designed to be the ultimate high-headroom clean pedal platform.
The Bravado is equipped with 6L6 power tubes and delivers 40 watts of clarity that works well with nearly every pedal, making it sound like the voice of Gods. Unlike almost every other amp on the market, the Bravado is engineered to give players warmth and natural tube compression that gels with all types of pedals, whether a simple boost or massive distortion. When it comes to the EQ, the Bravado provides a multitude of tweakable tones. A wide range three-band EQ sculpts any pedalboard while the tube-buffered effects loop is a nice warm place for your delay/reverb effects.
The Fat switch which gives your signal chain a ballsy push in the midrange without being nasally. Three positions provide varying levels of midrange enhancement and extra gain for players looking for a brawnier tone. Wampler found that amps with bright switches were either too bright or too dark, and so a multi-position bright switch rounds out the EQ controls. Six positions of brightness let you dial in just the right amount to liven up your chain before the power section gives it what for. The Bravado is expertly handwired, point-to-point, in Los Angeles, CA and loaded with top-shelf components for optimal tone.
The Bravado will be available in a 40w head (2x12" cab available) and 1x12" 40w combo!
Full details will be published on the main web site product pages soon, with pre-order links and confirmed release dates!
Good one.
Do these guys all share the same script?

Exactly, and more importantly great pedal designer!
Most amp makers claim the same thing.
It might be the best amp in the world but the sales pitch is really stale.
In the same way that Pete Thorn is also a member. We seem to scare them off!
My view of it would largely be dependant on price - would most likely be $$$ over here.

I do the mid switch thing but use two switches for high mids and lows mids, gives you much more control.
That he's regarded as any sort of design guru - or, in fact, as anything other than a plagiarist - is utterly bizarre to me.
Which bits are yours?

Yawn.
Now, if he'd used his 'intimate knowledge of circuits' to build a solid-state amp that sounded good, I might be slightly interested.

I wasn't first to come up with all of that, of course, but I think I was about the first to draw them all up clearly and publish the drawings for DIYers on the Harmony Central FX forum.
He removed them when challenged and claimed to have sold only 7 copies, which patently wasn't true.
I only have one Wampler pedal...the Pinnacle Deluxe and its one of my main pedals. I like the sounds of many of his other pedals I've watched demos on...but if a lil piddly pedal costs as much as they do how much is this beast of an amp gonna cost?
Question is, if I had that amp would my guitar playing sound as nice? I very much doubt it, but it would definably sound better than it does now, can Brian write sales blurb as well as he can play a guitar or as well as his amps sound? Obviously not.
Edit to add, Brian, if you want to put my ''your amp will make my guitar playing better'' theory to the test I'd be happy to oblige.
Brian is a decent player too (very country influenced) - you can see him on a lot of vids now at Wampler's YT and FB channels
