The Wampler Moxie takes the legendary TS10® Tube Screamer® circuit and gives it a modern twist with enhanced flexibility and tonal options. Built around the classic 4558 chip that made the original famous, this compact overdrive pedal maintains the authentic woody tones and harmonic complexity that have made Tube Screamer-style circuits the most emulated designs in guitar effects history. From subtle boost to gritty drive that pushes amplifiers into heavy overdrive territory, the Moxie covers an impressive range of gain stages while remaining sensitive to your picking dynamics.
What sets the Moxie apart from standard TS-style pedals are its two custom switches that address common limitations of the original circuit. The Voice switch tackles the well-known issue of bass and treble frequency loss by boosting these ranges while reducing the prominent midrange bump, resulting in a more natural and robust overdrive tone. Meanwhile, the Fat switch introduces MOSFET clipping for additional gain and altered compression characteristics, adding significant drive while maintaining clarity and organic tone quality.
Built in the USA with high-grade components, the Moxie features standard Volume, Gain and Tone controls alongside its innovative switching options. The pedal operates on 9-18v DC power (no battery option), drawing just 11mA at 9v, and fits into a compact 1.5" x 3.5" x 1.5" enclosure perfect for crowded pedalboards. True bypass switching ensures your signal remains pristine when the pedal is disengaged, while its versatile nature makes it an excellent foundation for stacking with other overdrive and distortion pedals.
