I am selling my Wampler Mofetta pedal. As new, barely used, tiny chip (photographed) that was there when I first received the pedal.

Comes from a loving, pet-free and smoke-free home and a home-use, hobby-guitarist, with switching and adjustments made by hand and no foot-stomping. Comes boxed with all the original packaging and content, no velcro etc.

Please do your research to check that this is right for you - I'm an individual seller and don't accept returns.

Overview from Wampler

• 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.

• True MOSFET Clipping

One of the original MOSTORTION’stm little known “secrets” is that it doesn’t actually use MOSFETs for its overdrive. It uses a “MOSFET based op-amp”, but it uses clipping diodes to produce distortion. This left me thinking, “What if I built one that could actually use MOSFETs for the clipping, using multiple gain staging like a tube amp?” That’s what the Mofetta’s Texture feature is all about – it takes the pedal from smooth overdrive to fiery distortion with the flick of a Texture switch.

• 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.

• Articulate Voicing

MOSFET clipping delivers a bolder, more articulate voice – louder, tighter, and slightly more aggressive than the original’s diode-driven dirt. While still not “Brutal High Gain,” the Texture switch gives you a wider range of overdrive and even distortion that’s even more responsive to your playing dynamics. Is it better than the OG? That’s up to you, but I think it’s what the MOSTORTIONtm was always meant to be.
