WAMPLER 

MOFETTA

Although it was actually not a big seller the 90's Ibanez Mostortion was perhaps the first FET OD. A FET operates like a tube so it gives you a very tube like sound. In an all tube amp adding more tubes give you dirt. In many pedals once you create enough output in the circuit often using an OpAmp you put in clipping diodes for the dirt. The original Mostortion added the diodes. The wampler gives you 2 circuits. The original and another that uses just the FETs like a tube amp uses tubes. The layout is Volume, Gain,Treble, Mids and Bass with a toggle to switch from the original cricut to the all FET one.

 

CONCLUSION___ 

I never found the Ibanez impressive and as I pointed out not many 

did when it was new. The original compared to many choices of 

pedals these days simply was muddy when cranked and harsh 

even when backed off. 

A few of good ol' Brians other pedals make this sound lame. 

Nostalgia is not sound. The idea of the pedal is tantalizing 

but the results are pedestrian.

Does it sound better than the original? Yes but no

news is better than bad news.
