The Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe is a versatile distortion pedal designed to provide a wide range of classic and modern tones. The pedal is praised for its ability to emulate the "Brown Sound" associated with classic rock and metal music. The main difference between the Pinnacle and Pinnacle Deluxe models is that the Deluxe version allows users to switch between lower and higher gain modes on the fly, with a dedicated footswitch for on-the-fly gain control.
