Wampler Terraform Multi-Modulation Pedal User Guide

Quick guide from the manual

The Wampler Terraform is a digital multi-modulation pedal. Before using, ensure you are using a 9V DC power supply with a center-negative pin. The pedal features a routing switch on the back; ensure this is set to NORMAL for standard mono/stereo setups or PRE/POST if you are using an effects loop or specific signal chain routing. If the effect does not seem to work, check this switch first.

Overview

The Terraform contains 11 modulation effects. It is fully programmable, supports true stereo and split mono routing, MIDI control, and expression pedal assignment. It features 8 preset locations for saving your favorite sounds.

Routing

The pedal offers two main routing options:

• NORMAL: Use this for standard stereo or mono rigs. If you are running in mono, plug your input into the PRE/L jack and use either output jack to your amp.
• PRE/POST: This allows you to place specific effects before or after your gain stages (e.g., U Vibe before dirt, Chorus after).

To assign effects globally to PRE or POST:

1. Disconnect power.
2. Hold down both the BYPASS and TAP TEMPO stomps.
3. Power up the pedal.
4. Turn the PROGRAM CONTROL dial to the desired effect.
5. Press BYPASS for "Pre Mode" (LED lights green) or TAP TEMPO for "Post Mode" (LED lights blue).
6. Press the Preset Switch to save.

Expression Pedal

You can assign an external expression pedal to control any of the 5 knobs. To configure:

1. Hold BYPASS and press TAP TEMPO (LED flashes red).
2. Move the desired control to the heel position.
3. Press TAP TEMPO.
4. Move the control to the toe position.
5. Press TAP TEMPO to save.

Presets

The Terraform has 8 preset locations. To save a preset:

1. Configure settings and expression pedal (optional).
2. Hold the Preset Switch until LEDs blink.
3. Press the Preset Switch to select the desired location.
4. Hold the Preset Switch until LEDs blink to save.

MIDI

The Terraform supports MIDI program changes (1-128) and tap tempo control. To change the MIDI channel: power off, hold the preset switch, power on, and release. Use the preset switch to cycle through channels (indicated by LEDs in binary+1), then hold for 5 seconds to save.

L.E.D. Guide

• Bypass LED Off: Pedal bypassed, preset unmodified.
• Bypass LED Red: Pedal bypassed, preset modified.
• Bypass LED Green: Engaged, pre/post mode (pre active), preset unmodified.
• Bypass LED Blue: Engaged, pre/post mode (post active), preset unmodified.

Troubleshooting

• Effect not working: Ensure the routing switch is set to NORMAL if using mono.
• Blend control inactive: This control is only active in stereo mode.
• Bypass LED turns red: This indicates the current preset has been modified from the original.
• Factory Reset: Hold BYPASS, TAP TEMPO, and PRESET buttons at power up. Note: This deletes all presets.
