Fusion in its current form is a fairly new concept, with roots not only in theoretical jazz but rock; not classic blues based rock, but the more technically advanced “shredders” that first became popular in the mid to late 80’s. One of the forerunners of this genre is Tom Quayle. Tom is the UK’s finest and most in demand exponent of modern fusion. With a rich theoretical knowledge, a student base that contains not only “regular” players but also some absolute stellar names in the industry, and a pair of ears that are completely unforgiving, he has never been able to locate a pedal he can use that allows him to be the guitarist he truly is.

When Wampler first met Tom in early 2012, he was already using the Euphoria and Paisley Drive stacked together to give him the tones he required. But, something wasn’t quite right; those pedals are kinda voiced for other genres of music altogether, so Wampler set about honing the tones to match his style of playing. He needed more transparency, a slightly tighter and more controllable response to the low end and when stacked up they needed to sound and feel like an amp running at high levels and give each string complete clarity and response.

Over a year later, Wampler had the Dual Fusion. With two independent circuits that are based (but are completely modified) on the Euphoria and Paisley Drive, Tom finally has a tone that can be used when he is in full flow as the inspirational and innovative musician he is.

The Wampler Pedals Dual Fusion, the first pedal to be specifically voiced for the fastest growing breed of musicians around. With the most versatile stacking/signal path options available on an analog pedal, it is the foundation of modern Fusion… Add in the versatility you expect from Wampler Pedals, the Dual Fusion will appeal to guitarists from all genres at all levels.
