Behind The Scenes – Mo(s)ghoul – Part 4: The Graphic Design
A Perfect Name Sometimes the pieces fall into place long after you think you’re done. Before we ever settled on its name, the Mo(s)ghoul pedal was already built, tested, and snarling beautifully. The name came later, Mo(s)ghoul, a mix of “MOSFET,” “mogul,” and “ghoul.” At first, it was just a fun contrast that sounded right… Read more

Behind The Scenes – Mo(s)ghoul – Part 3: How It Works
If Mosferatwo delivered amp-like overdrive and Tri-Hormonic Phalanx expanded into multistage harmonic distortion, then Mo(s)ghoul takes things into high-gain territory, pushing MOSFET saturation to the extreme. Designed to be brutal yet dynamic, Mo(s)ghoul doesn’t rely on traditional clipping diodes or external soft-clipping elements. Instead, it stacks multiple MOSFET gain stages in series, progressively increasing saturation… Read more

Behind The Scenes – Mo(s)ghoul – Part 2: The Sound
Mo(s)ghoul Pedal Sound Design A Sonic Transformation The Mo(s)ghoul isn’t just a distortion pedal, it’s a sonic transformation. The Mo(s)ghoul Pedal Sound Design is a delight. Just like the ghouls that inspired it, the sound shifts from clean and composed to raw, feral, and hauntingly powerful. By relying entirely on MOSFET transistors for natural distortion,… Read more

Behind The Scenes – Mo(s)ghoul – Part 1: The Name
The Mo(s)ghoul Pedal Name Inspiration A Name Born from Duality Every great creation starts with a spark of inspiration, and the Mo(s)ghoul pedal is no exception. When it came to naming this MOSFET distortion pedal, I wanted to encapsulate the duality of its character, the transition from pristine, clean tones to raw, unapologetic distortion. The… Read more
