The A. incorrupta Overdrive/Distortion features independent Bass, Midrange, and Treble controls to allow for intricate tone sculpting and finetuning, specially designed to provide broad sweeps without becoming overly harsh or muddy.
Moth Electric has released its second design since setting up shop in May 2023, the A. incorrupta Overdrive/Distortion. The A. incorrupta is Moth Electric’s highly tweakable take on the classic RAT circuit, with significant modifications and additions to improve fidelity, versatility, and usability.
Adding to the versatility of the A. incorrupta circuit are five clipping options for an array of sonic textures:
- Germanium for a smooth, compressed character
- Mosfet for a slightly softer feel than Silicon-Silicon for classic RAT sounds
- Asymmetrical for aggressive, heavily textured tones
- LED for less compression and higher output
A boosted, high headroom output section rounds out the pedal, offering tons of volume on tap while maintaining clarity and note separation.
The A. incorrupta offers the following features:
- Bass, Treble, Mid, Volume, and Drive controls
- Five-way diode switch with Germanium, MOSFET, Silicon, Asymmetrical, and LED options
- Boosted, high headroom output section
- True-bypass switching, top-mounted jacks for easy placement on crowded pedalboards
- 9-volt DC operation with external power supply – no battery compartment
- Designed and hand-built in the USA
The A. incorrupta carries a $169.99 price.

A Masterclass in Distortion! Moth Electric A. Icorrupta
Their debut pedal is designed to cover a surprising amount of sonic territory, from mid-gain growl to crushing wall-of-sound fuzz.
The pedal’s secret weapon: a 2-position toggle switch for selecting between “Classic” and“Modern” modes. Classic mode is a traditional muff-style sound, with compressed, wooly saturation and lots of sustain. Sonically it’s close to an Electro-Harmonix Tall Font GreenRussian, with its characteristic growl and ferocious low end. An expanded EQ section greatly expands the versatility of this classic circuit. Modern mode features significantly increased output to push your amp to its limits with a less compressed, more open sound that preserves high frequencies in your signal.
The pedal takes its name from the Tiger Moth: the P. Isabella species’ caterpillar stage is often called “the wooly bear."
The P. Isabella offers the following features:
- Volume, Fuzz, Tone, and Midrange controls
- Blend control knob allows you to add clean tone to your signal
- Two-position C/M toggle switch for selecting Classic and Modern voicings
- True-bypass switching, top-mounted jacks for easy placement on crowded pedalboards
- 9-volt DC operation with external power supply – no battery compartment
- Designed and hand-built in the USA
