The Mofetta is a smooth yet fiery overdrive / distortion pedal with MOSFET clipping for authentic tones.
The Wampler Mofetta Overdrive / Distortion is Brian’s tribute to the MOSFET-driven magic of a 1990s classic – the MT10 MOSTORTION. A mainstay of countless top session players, the Mofetta honours the soul of that elusive yet classic circuit while revealing its untapped potential.

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. Wampler wanted “more” and added a Texture Switch that introduces actual MOSFETs into the pedal’s overdrive section for a bolder, more articulate tone. The Mofetta preserves everything you love about the early ’90s legend with a powerful new Wampler dimension.
The original MT10 MOSTORTION was released in 1990 as part of a budget pedal series to meet the demand of a growing market. Despite the pedal’s “cheaper” qualities, guitarists began to take note of its amp-like low-gain tones, attributing them—arguably incorrectly—to the onboard MOSFET Op-amps. Though the pedals were discontinued a couple of years later, used ones command insane prices today and are extremely hard to find. The Mofetta is my way of bringing it all back and re-creating those singing tones while diving even further into the amp-like world of MOSFETs.
