Wampler Mofetta Overdrive Distortion Pedal
Product information "Wampler Mofetta Overdrive Distortion Pedal"
In the 90s, Ibanez had an overdrive pedal with a MOSFET circuit in its programme - the legendary MT-10 Mostortion pedal. This grass-green floor pedal faded into obscurity after a short time, until it was rediscovered by studio and session guitarists a few years ago and has been a high-priced insider tip ever since. Brian Wampler was inspired by this pedal and has now presented his interpretation of the classic with the Mofetta. Basically, the Mofetta is based on the original, an overdrive pedal with 3-band EQ, an OP amp based on MOSFET technology and clipping diodes for the distortion. The result is a dynamic, amp style overdrive. Brian Wampler is known to be an old pedal hare who modifies and improves legendary circuits. He had the idea of making the circuit work entirely on MOSFET technology - the distortion is generated by cascaded MOSFET transistors, which delivers a tight, direct overdrive with a scoop more gain. The Texture switch allows you to choose between classic Mostortion and the hotter True MOSFET sound.

Brian Wampler, CEO of Wampler Pedals, has created some of the best effects pedals in the world. From the humble beginnings of modding pedals to producing his original boutique pedals, it's been a long journey for Brian. He is a guitarist first and foremost and has always been a true gear nerd — he tried different guitars, amps and, of course, pedals — always with the aim of achieving the best possible sound. Every pedal on the market that Brian played simply didn't deliver the sounds he craved. So rather than settle for standard sounds, he began tweaking and modifying pedals here and there to get closer to the sounds he heard in his head.
Those pedals still didn't satisfy Brian, so he started designing his own. That is how Wampler Pedals was born, a brand that continues to win more and more fans.
With a wide range of products and ever more new releases, Brian Wampler continues to bring world-class guitar sounds to great guitarists. The process from developing a guitar pedal to its release is lengthy, but the results are worth it. Brian is now supported in the development of his pedals by a hands-on team.
