WamplerMoxie Overdrive Pedal, (WAMPLERMOXIE)

This is one of the thickest, nicest TS circuit pedals I've come across. 10/10

As much fun as it is to buy, use, and collect pedals.. I can't remember a time when I was immediately satisfied with a purchase as I was with the Moxie.I don't have a Tube Screamer, but I do have a Maxon OD808, and as much as I like it, I don't dig the "mid-range hump" that's so prevalent in this type of pedal.The first thing I did was set both of the switches to the right (voice/fat), and I doubt I'll ever change it.The goal here was to get a seriously overdriven Strat tone from a ridiculously clean amp without resorting to stacking OD pedals or a distortion pedal.. and I couldn't be more satisfied.The term "transparent overdrive" gets tossed around a lot, and Brian Wampler himself is on the record as disliking that term, but all I can say is when you crank on it and do your best Hendrix impersonation it still sounds like a Stratocaster. It's not gritty or buzzy... it adds sustain and feedback in a way that feels very natural, like standing in front of a 4x12 British amp that's so loud it makes you weak in the kneesFor what it's worth, I'm 63 years old and have been doing this for a while. Big Muff, Hotcake, Tumnus, 808, EHX Glove, and a few more that I sold and can't remember what they were.. a lot of times over the years I've bought something and thought well it's pretty cool maybe I just have to learn how to use it but this was immediate gratification.Last but not least, it's set up in a way that is very smart for pedal board use, which is to say that the bottom is flat and ready for Velcro, and stick-on rubber feet are included but not applied.Also, the knurled metal knobs just feel great.Highly recommended.

I use it with my Tele and Strat, and it sounds fantastic and versatile. I like the mid-punch tone. The pedal quality is excellent.I highly recommend this moxie!

This thing is a beast. Gives you the ability to have normal tubescreamer tone like a TS-10, or for you to tweak it with the fat mode and get way more gain and to be able to tweak your voicing from mids to a more “transparent” setting which is an overused term in overdrive, and even Brian Wampler hates it himself. Compared this next to a mini tube screamer and this thing blows it away. Definitely get one for your rig!

With this effect, you get a tube screamer with more boost than is typical, a “fat” circuit which really turbocharges it, and an optional flavor which flattens the response. It’s a very versatile variation on this traditional circuit.

Saw this pedal reviewed by Anderton's in the UK (I'm in the US) and was so impressed I ordered it immediately. It arrived a few days later and I am thrilled. Fat sound, easily customizable, and the gain is mind-blowing. Improves the tone I get from my Les Paul and my Strats and I play mostly through a Katana MkII 100 and a Spark 40. Definitely worth the purchase for live use. There are other solutions in the studio but this is a great small form-factor pedal (no batteries). Would buy this again without hesitation.

Brian makes some great pedals (I love my Tumnus), but I found this pedal extremely bassy?My other pedals on my board include KOT, Soloist, J Rockette GTO & an EP Booter, plus Delay.I just couldn’t get it to fit in

This is a fantastic little pedal. If you need more gain and headroom than a regular TS this will offer that. If you need less of a mid hump, toggle the voicing and becomes very neutral. However, if you’re looking for accurate TS-10 tones this ain’t it. Check out Tone Geeks version, or the JHS Bonsai for accuracy.
