MOSRITE ACCESSORIES

There were many accessories available from Mosrite.  I’ll try to present as many as I can here and as I gather new photos I’ll update this page.
Guitar picks, cases, strings, fuzzrite, etc.

Guitar cases
Mosrite offered optional guitar cases.  One could purchase a rectangle or form fit case.

Victoria Luggage Company made top of the line guitar cases and provided them to Mosrite.

Some chose the rectangle case as an option.  Note the form fitted interior protects the Celebrity from movement.

Mosrite FUZZrite
From Mosrite literature:
        “Mosrite’s Fuzzrite is amazing many professionals with its total performance.  Foot operated,
           it offers the guitarist sound effects ranging from fuzzy to the wildest distortion.  It is sturdily
           built and designed with the best materials available to give it a variety of expressive sounds.”

 The Mosrite Fuzzrite was designed by Ed Sanner who also designed the Rosac pedals.  

There were three versions:
         Version 1:  The first 250 models used Germanium transistors, but these were not temperature stable: they                                  didn’t sound good on a cold floor.

         Version 2:   Many thousands were made with discrete parts on a paper phenolic circu, using silicon transistors

         Version 3:   20,000 were made with the orange Sprague module.

Mosrite Picks
Mosrite original picks came in “thin”, “medium” and “heavy”.  When I’ve collected photos of the original picks I will post them here.  For now I’ll simply show the reproduction picks available today usually via eBay.  Most of the picks on eBay these days are Ventures picks.

Mosrite Amps



Mosrite Ventures Echo

The Mosrite Ventures Model Echo  never went into production. It was made by the Tel Ray company. It is an "oil can" echo. Tel Ray produced the same exact model on which other companies put their logos.
Mosrite Award BG-500 Ventures Amplifier

The Mosrite Award amplifier was a sales disaster for both Mosrite and the Ventures. This one works well but it's not something I would take to gigs as the electronics are not robust in their design and construction. This was the problem that folks who bought one in the '60's faced.
