The Moxie is Brian Wampler's take on the TS10 Tube Screamer circuit, built around the classic 4558 chip in a 1.5" x 3.5" enclosure. Two switches set it apart from a straight screamer. The Voice switch lifts the bass and treble and pulls the midrange back, aimed at the well-known mid hump of the original; to the right, Wampler describes it as a fuller, more natural overdrive. The Fat switch brings in MOSFET clipping, which adds a good deal of gain and changes the compression and texture of the drive.
With both switches off it covers the familiar mid-forward screamer sound for blues and for pushing a lead channel tighter. With them engaged, it moves toward the brawnier, higher-gain end of the circuit. Wampler suggests stacking it with the Ratsbane, Tumnus or Belle, and it runs at 9v or 18v. Built in the USA.
