Wampler Pedals launched the Moxie, a compact overdrive pedal inspired by a vintage Ibanez TS10, on August 9, 202212. Guitar.com reported the unveiling on August 103.
The Moxie carries the traditional Tube Screamer control set of Drive, Tone and Level, presented here as Volume, Tone and Gain132. It uses a 4558 chip132. Two toggle switches set it apart from a standard TS circuit. The Voice switch alters the pedal's EQ, adding clarity and transparency and an alternative to the traditionally mid-boosted Tube Screamer tone profile132. The Fat switch engages a custom-voiced MOSFET clipping stage that adds gain132.
Guitar.com and Gearnews report the pedal runs on 9 volts or 18 volts for additional headroom32. It comes in a compact mini-pedal sized enclosure with top-mounted jacks1. Wampler says it is designed to stack well with other dirt pedals1.
"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"
Pricing differs between the reports. Guitar World gives $149 and says the pedal is available now1. Gearnews lists an MSRP of $1492. Guitar.com gives $149.973.
