Wampler Mofetta Overdrive / Distortion Pedal

The Mofetta is a smooth yet fiery overdrive / distortion pedal with MOSFET clipping for authentic tones.

The Wampler Mofetta Overdrive / Distortion is Brian’s tribute to the MOSFET-driven magic of a 1990s classic - the MT10 MOSTORTION (tm)
.
A mainstay of countless top session players, the Mofetta honors the soul of that elusive yet classic circuit while revealing its untapped potential.
The Mofetta is a supercharged MOSTORTIONTM, reborn and amplified that delivers the classic, amp-like overdrive, massive headroom, and versatile 3-band EQ that made the original so famous. Wampler wanted “more” and added a Texture Switch that introduces actual MOSFETs into the pedal’s overdrive section for a bolder, more articulate tone.
The Mofetta preserves everything you love about the early ‘90s legend with a powerful new Wampler dimension.

The MT10 MOSTORTION

The original MT10 MOSTORTION(TM) was released in 1990 as part of a budget pedal
series to meet the demand of a growing market. Despite the pedal’s “cheaper”
qualities, guitarists began to take note of its amp-like low-gain tones, attributing
them—arguably incorrectly—to the onboard MOSFET Op-amps. Though the
pedals were discontinued a couple of years later, used ones command insane prices
today and are extremely hard to find. The Mofetta is Wampler’s way of bringing it all back and re-creating those singing tone while diving even further into the amp-like world of MOSFETs.

Musical, Responsive Overdrive

Paying tribute to a pedal called the MOSTORTIONTM, it’s easy to assume the Mofetta would be a high-gain beast. But like its predecessor, it’s the circuit’s low-to-mid-gain voice that the original circuit is most known for. From edge-of-breakup to fat, vintage amp- style crunch, the Mofetta blooms with tube-like compression, always
retaining its musical warmth. And with its high-headroom output, it
easily pushes your amp or modeler into harmonically-rich breakup.

3-Band EQ

Part of what makes the Mofetta so versatile is its unique 3-band EQ.
While many overdrives before 1990 relied on a simple tone knob, the idea of a dirt pedal like the MOSTORTIONTM with bass, middle, and treble controls was darn near revolutionary. It lets you dial in the Mofetta for a full-range drive or achieve transparent grit that complements your clean tone. If you dial up the mids and treble a bit, you
can even use it as a focused boost to push your amp’s breakup, or stacking with
another gain pedal, tightening its response and enhancing its character.
