The Cryptid Fuzz is more than just a homage to all of Brian Wampler’s favorite vintage fuzz pedals in one pedal. Brian has always loved a good fuzz pedal. There’s just something about how they transform a guitar’s sound, and each one does it in its own way. A Fuzz Face has a fat lead tone that responds to every touch. The Tone Bender circuit took things a stage further (literally) and added even more grunt. The “Big Muff” style circuit is a legendary successor to both of these. The Wampler Velvet Fuzz was one of Brian’s early takes on an improved fuzz circuit but with a twist - it was designed to be easy to dial in for those who just didn’t get on with regular fuzz pedals.
Brian wanted to put all of those classic tones into a single compact guitar pedal. He wanted the ability to dial in glassy cleans by backing off your guitar’s volume like a Fuzz Face as well as retaining the sparkling tonality and usability of the Velvet Fuzz. He wanted to create something that could be stacked with other pedals or played on its own, something that wasn’t just another clone. So he designed the Cryptid Fuzz. It is a unique circuit designed to offer the very best sonic aspects of those classic fuzz pedals while still inspiring players to find a new sound.

Brian Wampler, CEO of Wampler Pedals has created some of the best effects pedals in the world. From the humble beginnings of modding pedals to producing his original boutique pedals, it's been a long journey for Brian. Primarily a guitarist himself, he has always been a real gear nerd - trying out different guitars, amps and of course pedals - always with the aim of achieving the best possible sound. Every pedal on the market that Brian played just didn't deliver the sounds he craved. So instead of settling for the standard sounds, he started tweaking and modifying pedals here and there to get closer to the sounds he heard in his head.
These pedals didn't satisfy Brian either, so he started to develop his own designs. Thus was born Wampler Pedals, a brand that is gaining more and more fans.
With a wide range of current products and more and more new products, Brian Wampler continues to bring world-class guitar sounds to the market for great guitarists. The process from the development of a guitar pedal to its release is a long one, but the results are worth it. Brian is now supported by an energetic team in the development of his pedals.
