Reimagining the TS10 Tubescreamer circuit

I could not resist purchasing your new pedal! Awesome tones.

[@discipleofec]

I have already purchased a Moxie. I have been using the old TS10. However, theft and poor contact were problems when using it outdoors. So I have been trying many alternative pedals (like the TS10), and finally I have found it. It produces the same sound as my TS10. It is even more orthodox and evolved. I think you are a genius. Thank you so much.

Tubescreamers have so much folklore about them. I die inside every time I hear someone say they like the OD9 over the OD808 because it’s blahblahblah. I love how you add on additional features. Thats why Wampler makes the best pedals in this segment.

I'm confused as to what your saying. you don't hear a difference between an OD9 and OD808 or are you talking about different "chip" folklore

Cool pedal. I was lucky enough to see SRV on his last tour from back stage. He was using TS10s and standard Crybaby wah pedal. He had a drawer full of them. I asked his tech why he carried so many, he said "because he stomps on them and breaks them all the time." Wish I would have studied his set up better and know what I know now to really understand it. I was 19 at the time.

It's really cool, groovy, right on and all of the above to hear and see the man, the myth and the legend reviewing his own pedal, his comment on how the amp, guitar and settings all contribute to the tone is the truth, the rest is up to the player. I'm not a big fan of the tube screamer but this pedal is so much more, his reference to the Zen Drive got my attention although I don't own an original, drive a very old beat up truck that always needs fixing, might have to sell the spare tire to buy the Moxie, enough said. Thank you Mr Wampler, you encourage people to keep on learning and playing.

[@GearSmackMusic]

Brian, your pedals are my favorite drive pedals, they're like love letters to guitarists who love great tone. I don't care what the trolls on TGP say, I'm glad you released this. Another one that's coming to my board as far as I'm concerned. Your videos always teach me something too!

[@GearSmackMusic]

TGP trolls like Chronic Fatigue and Jim Marciano are already crying about comments on a certain Moxie video that never existed, people are already bashing the Moxie for nothing. Remember these are the guys that tried their best to downplay the Paisley Drive, shouting how it was a mere Tube Screamer clone with just more gain. It always cracks me up how people refuse to operate in reality.

i love your videos, there's so much packed into a reasonable length even with a legendary intro. i finished my 20th pedal build yesterday and your channel has been one of my biggest inspirations. I've been using what components I've had on hand but it might be time to breadboard first and test exact component values. building a new pcb versus fine-tuning a circuit are two very different things, and i think that's my next major step. after this FV1 build...

[@allanflippin2453]

Brian, I have a comment on the form factor. Although the pedal is quite narrow, the input and output being on the side results in wasted pedal board space. Is there a technical reason against making a wider pedal with input and output on the top edge? That actually would save space and simplify wiring.

[@wampler_pedals]

Not enough room to fit the Jack’s and power up top. May not be enough room for just the Jack’s either, as the enclosure screw posts take up quite a bit of room as well. I’m curious but unaware-Are there other mini-pedals with the jacks up top?

[@albertplaysguitar]

The newer TC mini pedals had to go a bit wider (tho shorter) in order to accommodate those top jacks! I have the TC Magus Pro on my board. It works

[@Angellus502]

@@wampler_pedals OP asked why not make the pedal wider? Im with the OP in i'd rather have a bigger to standard size pedal with top I/O than a mini pedal with side I/O

[@chipsterb4946]

@@wampler_pedals hi Brian - I also like “standard” sized pedals with jacks on top. I need space on either side of mini pedals just to get my big foot on 1 button. Prefer same height for same reason. For example I have Patheon/MXR Timmy (mini)/Ratsbane next to each other. I have to scoot Timmy closer to front edge of board and push Ratsbane back just so I can select one without the other. Tumnus is right before Patheon and that size enclosure is perfect for me. I can hit both buttons at once if I want to but it’s fairly easy to hit just one as well. 2 cents…

@@wampler_pedals Brian, thanks for answering me! I'm accustomed to being ignored. Yes, I admit there's no room for I/O on top when the pedal gets too narrow. I was saying the advantage of such a small pedal is undone if one has to deal with I/O on the sides. The ideal size may be the minimum width that can support top-mounted I/O.

[@Soloist1983]

What a neat pedal, sounds great. I'm still trying to figure out what it is that makes some overdrives sound and more importantly, FEEL great to play on. There are some overdrives that I can pull off any and all legato licks with ease (hammer-ons/pull-off's), whereas some overdrives, and amp designs (like Mesa Boogie's) seem to take twice the effort to pull off the same licks, makes my hand sore sometimes to play on those amps as it really doesn't react to your dynamics the same way, very unpleasant.
