[5] Wampler began to teach himself how pedals worked and were designed in his late 20s,[6] using online resources like the DIYstompboxes.com community,[7] mirroring the path of other boutique builders like Jamie Stillman of EarthQuaker Devices.
The move to Boutique Amps Distribution was cited as giving Wampler more time to focus on designing pedals and creating materials for the DIY community by offloading management and business concerns to the distributor.
