Wilson Effects Capstone – The Ultimate Transparent Overdrive

The Capstone is a tribute to the "Transparent Overdrive" concept, designed to preserve your guitar’s natural tonewhile offering dynamic control over grit and drive. Unlike traditional overdrive pedals that lock you into a specific circuit, the Capstone provides interactive tone shaping, allowing you to dial in anything from glassy cleans to rich, textured overdrive—even venturing into a subtle fuzz-like character.

​

Key Features & Controls

• Gain Control – Adjusts the amount of overdrive, but uniquely responds to Mid and Bass settings for added grit.

• Mid & Bass EQ – Increasing these frequencies not only enhances warmth mid-range and low end but also adds more drive and texture.

• Mod Switch –

  • Left Position – Engages stock diode clipping for a classic overdrive response.

  • Right Position – Activates NOS NPN Germanium transistors, adding more grit and fuzz-like saturation.

Why Choose the Capstone?

The Capstone is more than just an overdrive—it’s a tonal chameleon, capable of delivering everything from pristine, glassy cleans (perfect for single-coil sparkle) to thick, harmonically rich drive. The longer you play with it, the more you’ll discover its depth and versatility.
