-Semie Moseley was originally born in Oklahoma, but grew up and is for all practical purposes considered to have been a native of Bakersfield, California. His was the mind behind the Mosrite company, and the vision for the Mosrite line of guitars. These guitars were made famous by the Ventures and associated with 60s Surf Rock. The Mosrite guitar was also made famous and, in combination with a Fuzzrite pedal, became associated with "heavy" music by Eric Brann of Iron Butterfly. You have undoubtedly heard the combination on "In A Gadda Da Vida". Finally, Johnny Ramone is affiliated with his use of a Mosrite while The Ramones were a band.

 While Moseley was a very creative tinkerer and engineer, unlike Leo Fender, he wasn't necessarily the most fastidious businessman. After starting Mosrite in 1952 in Bakersfield, and being successful for 16 years, Mosrite first faced bankruptcy 1968. Throughout the 70s and even as recently as the late 1980s, Moseley was always working on a come-back for Mosrite Guitars. The Mosrite guitar is known particularly for its odd offset horns, thin necks, low frets, and high-output pickups. His daughter, Dana, was successful in having a hand in making Mosrite guitars up through 2015, though current status of the Mosrite name is currently unknown.

+This workalike of the original Mosrite Fuzzrite is about as ratty/splatty sounding as the original, which was clearly the intent. If you're looking for a 1960s era fuzz pedal, this does the job quite well. There are a few other 60s sounding pedals that you may want to consider if this doesn't work for the sound you're looking for:
