Wampler Mofetta

Wampler Mofetta is a smooth yet fiery overdrive / distortion pedal with MOSFET clipping for authentic tones and based on the famous MT10 Mostortion. The Mofetta is a supercharged MOSTORTION, reborn and amplified that delivers the classic, amp-like overdrive, massive headroom, and versatile 3-band EQ that made the original so famous.

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.

Part of what makes this pedal so versatile is its unique 3-band EQ. It lets you dial in 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.

One of the original little known “secrets” is that it doesn’t actually use MOSFETs for its overdrive. It uses a “MOSFET based op-amp”, but in reality uses clipping diodes to produce distortion. In Wampler’s pedal MOSFETs are used for clipping. The Texture switch takes this pedal from smooth overdrive to fiery distortion with the flick of a switch.

The pedal uses 10 milliamps current and is powered by a standard, 9 volts, Boss-style power adapter (not included) .
