Wampler Syntax: Flexible Rig Control for MIDI Pedals

Wampler Syntax stands out as a micro-format, dual-footswitch MIDI controller and multifunction switcher, engineered to give players precise and simple control over complex pedalboards. The Syntax provides MIDI program changes, tap tempo pulses, and latching outputs in a single compact unit, allowing seamless interaction with pedals like the Catacombs, Metaverse, and Terraform, as well as amps and 3rd party MIDI devices. This model is an essential tool for musicians who want synchronized preset management and tap tempo at their feet without cluttering their board.

What makes the Wampler Syntax unique?

Unlike typical micro-controllers, the Syntax offers both full MIDI PC (program change) switching and customizable external TRS switching in one device. Flip a slide switch to set each footswitch instantly to MIDI, tap, or latching mode—delivering an uncommon level of real-time versatility in a pedal this compact.

Multifunctional Switching — Adaptability for Any Rig

Most switchers in this class do not offer such breadth of function in such a compact footprint. Rig adaptation to MIDI, tap tempo, or channel switching for both Wampler and third-party gear is straightforward, with all options accessible through intuitive controls.

• MIDI Control: PC1–PC8 — Instantly recall up to eight preset locations on your MIDI-enabled pedals.
• Use the TRS Ext Out in Tap or Latching modes to control amp channels or send tap tempo pulses to compatible pedals—no special cables required.
• Dual Slide Switches: Independent for each footswitch — Assign MIDI, tap, or latch per side in seconds for maximum control flexibility.
