Mosfet Monster – Australia

This product is shipped locally from Bairnsdale, Victoria, and it’s exclusively for our Australian customers.

Project overview

Inspired by the Ibanez® MT-10 Mostortion, the classic vintage guitar Stompbox from the ’80s.
Our Mosfet Monster is a noble recreation of the hard-to-find (and buy) classic that comes in the form of a characterful overdrive with great touch sensitivity, excellent clarity, and versatile EQ.

Introduction

There is no doubt that Ibanez MT10 is a tremendous classic pedal for Rock And Metal. It produces a unique amp-like OD/distortion sound with a touch of Marshall-character that behaves very ‘civilized’ in all settings.
It suits classic Rock-styles, Blues, and Fusion and does a great job ‘pushing’ another OD-pedal.
The tone-knobs cover with precision the frequencies you’d wish to alter. Just be cautious with the mighty Bass- (muddy) and High- (shrill) knobs because they are very effective. Clean boost is also no problem with the Level control.
As all knobs cover broad ranges of tone variation, it’s always easy to adjust your tone to the amp, guitar, and personal preference.
Enjoy our Mosfet Monster; this board is one of those DIY builds that will accompany you for a long time.
