Wampler Mofetta MOSFET Overdrive Distortion Pedal

The Wampler Mofetta resurrects the legendary 1990s MT10 MOSTORTION™ with a vengeance, bringing back the smooth yet fiery overdrive tones that made session players hunt down the original pedals at astronomical prices. This tribute pedal captures the amp-like low-gain character and massive headroom that defined the early ’90s classic, while adding Wampler’s signature refinements. The original MT10 was part of a budget series that accidentally created magic – despite being discontinued after just a couple of years, used units now command insane prices due to their unique sonic qualities.

What sets the Mofetta apart is its revolutionary 3-band EQ system, a concept that was groundbreaking when the original MOSTORTION™ introduced bass, middle, and treble controls to the dirt pedal world. This flexible tone-shaping allows you to dial in everything from edge-of-breakup transparency to fat vintage crunch, or use it as a focused boost to push your amp into harmonically-rich breakup. The pedal excels at stacking with other gain stages, tightening response and adding character to your existing setup.

The game-changing Texture switch reveals the Mofetta’s true innovation – actual MOSFET clipping in the overdrive section. While the original MT10 used MOSFET-based op-amps with diode clipping, Brian Wampler wondered what would happen if real MOSFETs handled the distortion duties through multiple gain stages like a tube amp. This feature transforms the pedal from smooth overdrive to articulate distortion, creating a bolder, tighter, and more aggressive voice that responds dynamically to your playing while maintaining the musical warmth that made the original so sought-after.
