The Wampler Moxie is a versatile overdrive pedal inspired by the Ibanez® Tube Screamer® TS10®, offering a wide range of tones from light boost to gritty drive. It features unique controls like a Voice switch for clarity and a Fat switch with MOSFET clipping for added gain and saturation. This pedal is praised for its flexibility, warmth, and rich sound, making it a standout standalone Tube Screamer style effect.
The original Ibanez® Tube Screamer® is one of the most emulated circuit designs of all time and has been pushing amplifiers since it was first released in the late 1970s. While many companies create 808/TS9 style pedals, the TS10® was always a favorite of Brian’s. Capable of anything from light boost to a gritty drive that can send an amplifier into heavily overdriven tones, the Moxie is an ultra-flexible, wonderfully warm and rich pedal but with an extra bite.
In addition to the standard controls, Brian has added two unique switches. The Voice switch adds clarity by changing the entire EQ associated with this design giving it a more transparent yet robust tone. The Fat switch adds an extra dimension of gain with a custom MOSFET clipping stage, reminiscent of a classic high-end boutique amp.
