Wampler is here to pay tribute to the elusive Ibanez Monstortion pedal, thanks to their Wampler Mofetta Overdrive/Distortion.
The Wampler Mofetta Overdrive/Distortion is essentially a supercharged Monstortion that takes the amp-like low-gain tones of the original – thanks to the the onboard MOSFET Op-amps – and beefs ’em up.
“I made sure that it delivered the classic, amp-like overdrive, massive headroom, and versatile 3-band EQ that made the original so famous,” said Brian Wampler of the pedal. “But I also 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 dimension.”
So what was the Ibanez Monstortion pedal, anyway? Long story short, it was a budget pedal that everyone fell in love with over the years. Of course the then-budget pedal now fetches some insane prices, so shout out to Wampler for making a more affordable one.
