Re: Wampler Terraform
It’s been in development for a while... should be available in the wild now.
Really what you are looking at is ease of use vs the MD-200 (no menu diving) and comparison of algorithms. Ideally you’d compare them both. As much as I enjoy watching decent gear demos on youtube, the way it sounds and reacts to your rig and playing is so important, the demos are just kind of to get interest.
Wampler makes great stuff, I was considering the Terraform, but I think I’ll stick with the Mobius for now.

Hopefully that means they'll start showing up used within a few months.

Re: Wampler Terraform
Heard this at NAMM earlier this year and was impressed, glad to see it's finally getting out there. Wampler does some really awesome stuff, this pedal is definitely no exception. I'll be curious to see how this winds up being received in comparison to the MD200.

Re: Wampler Terraform
OK, so a quick update. I found this in stock at a local Guitar Center, and I tried it out.
It's small... about the same width as the MD200 casing but not as deep. Great for crowded, or just small boards. Controls felt very solid.
The sounds: i will say right away that I can hear the difference between a digital Univibe and one with an optical circuit. There's a distinct harmonic content difference there. Additionally, my Analogman chorus really spoiled me for that kind of sound...
...but this pedal is really, really something. Very rich and detailed sound. Just enough tweak-ability to dial in lots of sounds but not enough to get lost in. Great control setup for adjustments. Easy preset storing and recall. I typically am not a huge fan of Flanger sounds but I had a really hard time getting a sound I didn't like from this one. The Dimension sounds are excellent - crystal clear. The Rotary sounds are really detailed, and the envelope filter tracks perfectly. RE: the envelop filter... I was playing some Bela Fleck-ish "Scratch and Sniff" style licks and a few people in the store wandered over to see what i was using. I was testing it with a Tele and a Princeton.
That's how I would describe this pedal overall; really rich and detailed. Would I get better sounds out of individual analog pedals for some of the effects? Maybe, but I don't have that kind of $$ to spend and I don't want to haul them all to a gig.
It also didn't feel like overkill, even through all of the features. I feel like I might actually use everything on this pedal, given enough time. It's inspiring. I'm sold on it.Last edited by B2D; 12-10-2019, 01:58 AM.

Well, the video makes a strong case, indeed. It isn't a sound I would use often, although I love it when others use it.Administrator of the SDUGF

Re: Wampler Terraform
I’ve wanted to build a pedal board for some time, but I keep putting it on the back burner because other expenses and purchases keep popping up.
I think the Terraform pedal has changed my thinking. I currently only have a wah, a tuner pedal, and a bunch of overdrive pedals. It looks like this pedal can pedal can complete my needs. What do you guys think? It’s got just about every function that I would have bought several individual pedals to get. I think this pedal, two or three of my overdrives, the wah, and the tuner is a pretty functional board that would fit on fairly compact board. Simple, minimal, but lots of options. Thoughts?
