Mooer also have a little pedal the same size that acts as a 30W power amp called the 'Baby Bomb'. It has a standard jack input and a speaker cable output for your cabinet and runs off a 24v, 2A supply. I guess the idea is that you put your favorite one of these pre-amps in font of it and eliminate the need for a traditional amp head.
Dude! By far the best demonstration of this pedals for the uninformed buyer who wants to be informed haha. Greetings from Chile! And keep up the good work man!🤘🏻
The 005 ( 5050 )) is a PEAVEY 5150. To bad you didn't review the 006, wich is the Fender Blues Tweed.. EDIT.. just saw the links above. BTW.. I'm a big Mooer fan.. but didn't knew they had cab simulation too. Good to know. These can be life savers, if your regular amp would give up in a live situation.. you can plug directly to the PA system. Thanks for the nice review !
Excellent recap of these tiny boxes... I just got the radar and was sooooo impressed that I really wanted to get one of their pre amps. Going to start with the Vox... then probably the Black Knight! 😎
I'm very happy for you to have the wisdom to understand which pedal is named after which amp, but I don't, so be so kind as to let n00bs like me know which amp is emulated, at least if you consider people like me worthy to know that anyway.
Thanks a lot for that test. I wish however you had tested them all with the same guitar, so I would maybe have been able to make the difference between them, many sounds to close .. Anyway good job !
So what about in a live settings? Could this take a small amp and shape it's sound? I'm thinking this could be a always on pedal that acts as a secret weapon.
Hello Brett. I love your demos, great playing. I've got one question, between these Moeer preamps and the AMT ones which option do you find best based on sound quality, character and feel? I'm looking for something along the lines of a Diezel sound and both Mooer and AMT have their respective emulations; which one would you choose and why?
@@LeviBulger But if you're searching for an all in one solution (incl. a decent cabsim)? I don't want any latency, not even from an IR-loader inside the DAW. The best sound I got was with the RedTone amp from Vadim Taranov. But it eats so much resources away. This Diezel preamp really sounds great for direct recording.
Excellent vid.. and so thorough! I've now narrowed it down to 3.. Need something for a clean base, slamming it with dirt and fx for 80s covers, direct to PA. Now.. do I go daytripper, cali, or black night? 🤔 Only one guitar in band, no keys.
I expect some stores to have a trapdoor built-in for 'smoke on the...' & 'Stairway to Heaven' offenders which opens under the guitar stool, out they go.
When I first started playing guitars in mid 1970s & going into Sydney CBD to cruise Landis Music & Nicholsons (yes I am that old), there were signs up at the pedal demo corner saying "You are welcome to demo these pedals SO LONG as you DO NOT play "Stairway To Heaven" ,"Smoke On The Water" and "Sunshine Of Your Love"". Given 'Stairway' & 'Smoke' had only been released a few years earlier to that, they must've been real earworms...
Don't worry about it Ozzy - I first picked up a guitar in 1971, I got a 'Union Brand' nylon string guitar for Xmas '71 and I was hooked. I saw Creedence Clearwater Revival in '72 (it is like Rockwiz eh?) and this was my introduction to the world of 'Rock'. I am still playing and I love music more than is reasonable (!) I don't care if people play those songs, I would not kick em out haha
I keep coming back to this. I'm wanting to get rid of my tube amp and just go direct into audio interface (or powered speakers/PA) and I'm torn between getting a Line 6 HX Stomp OR a Mooer 008 + Zoom MS 70CDR. In terms of an amp, I only really want a nice warm clean tone and a bit of overdrive, not millions of different amps, and the Mooer 008 actually sounds better here than the HX Stomp does on most of the demos. Any thoughts?
Nice review brother 🔥🔥 I fell in love with these pedals and i plan on getting the 001 diesel or the 009 blacknight. I wanted to ask you, if your amp doesn't have a fx loop can you run it through the front of the amp?
I just got one of these pedals and will be getting it next week. I'm hoping it works well in my closed off effects loop with my other pedals I already have on my Blackstar amp. I picked up the 012 US Gold Freidmein.
U can do that! What I dislike a little is that they do not engage when kicking, but after you get off the button. I use them in the loop. That way it doesn't suck that much, but it is something to improve. Got the 005 and it is great!
Hmm. Trying to figure out which one would suit my Di tone (ie: Fuzz>Comp>Mods (Flanger & Phaser)>Drives>Muff>Boost>Mooer Micro>Delay>Reverb>IR>PA) which is based around my Laney and Fender Bassbreaker (Brit-voiced) amps, Also use a Tweed Junior instead of the Laney Cub, sometimes. Tonally, I am comfortable somewhere around Townsend, Gilmour, Page, May etc. The Day Tripper surprised me. It's Voxy, ofc, but seems quite versatile. I'm used to EL84s so maybe it would do, although I like the 010 Two Notes-based version as well.
How do these compare to the joyo analog amp sim pedals in your opinion? I use those already, but the added flexibility of 2 channels, and the smaller size of the Mooers is appealing.
Spencer Morgan don’t get me wrong, the Joyo amp sims are cool and very usable. BUT, these moorer micro pre’s are on a different level. I have the Cali mk3 and the UK Gold and I can’t speak highly enough about them. They sound so good going through a power amp and pretty solid straight into pro tools.
A Ric 330 or 360 should've been used with the Day Tripper . . . just to really hear if it could do a Vox in all its chimey goodness. Thanks for posting Mike.
There is only one single problem with these preamp-pedals: you cant change "channels" with the foot to use it as a full amp live. for home, it´s fine. But if you want to send it to FOH, you need two of them, and use an A/B-Switch. Okay, for 89€, you could easily buy 2 or 4 of them :D
Hi Burgs, which one is more “mid focused” when used with the built-in cab sim in your opinion? As a point of reference, I got the 001 Gas Station and I like it with the mids cranked, bass almost at 0 and the treble pot at “4” (less than half). Which one of these provides more mids at conservative settings? Thanks a lot, Paul
Hi Brett, and thanks for a great demo! I just discovered these as I am looking for an alternative to my combo amp at times when floor space is very limited at our gigs. So I have two questions that I was wondering if you (or someone else) could help we with: Firstly, I've now seen at least two demos where the output volume of the clean channel(s) seems to be very low for some reason. And I've also seen comments about this, quite a few. Now, I know you can of course crank up the volume on the clean setting and it will be saved but at least one person commenting said he had to return the unit because the volumes were simply not enough. Since I play more clean than distorted this would be a problem for me. What are your comments on this? Secondly, if I compare my chain today that includes my combo amp, the speaker of course comes as the very last part of that chain. But if I use these instead of my amp and I use the speaker simulation, this would come before my volume loop effects (delay + verb). Could this be an issue at all would you say? In other words, should I also aim for a speaker simulation at the very end such as the Mooer Radar or do they sound just fine also with the effects after the built-in speaker sim? Cheers.
for your 2nd problem, I was wondering the same thing, and (If floor space is limited, Could U put the amp-modeling preamp at the end of your pedal chain?? and then just use a little transparent Dr Scientist "boost-bot" pre-amp (which is small enough to fit anywhere), at the beginning of your chain?..
Are you using a Noise Gate anywhere in the signal chain? These seem pretty quiet, even in the high-gain settings. I'm not hearing any noise "in-between" the notes.
Daft question, the answer to this is probably obvious, but if you wanted could you NOT use the cab simulations and clean settings on these pedals, and just use them as regular distortion pedals through your amp?
Very good review!! Can you share the models and their respective original amps that Mooer has tried to reproduce? That's really impressive for me... I'm starting to consider having one of them in my board!!
Hi!!!! Thanks for your video is really cool!!!! I have a question. You use this Preamps Directly to the Interface or another Amp or Cab? I have the 010 Two Rock But i can't get a good tone Directly to a speaker yo know! Good day and thank you so much!
What if you wanted to send it tbrough the front of an old marshall head that has no return loop?in other words, what If i wanted to have it in a pedal chain going into the front of amp seeing as I use my marshall with the preamp set low for clean so that its a platform for pedals???
i had a problem with switch channel red to blue of 003 power zone, the volume's up approx. 1 second and goes to normal again. This happen to anybody else ?
Basically i have my main drive tone and recently got a cab IR pedal and wondering if one of these preamp pedals would help the overall tone and feel before the Ir and after my drives . Been testing what i have so far in audio interface, mp3 line ins and effect loop return sockets xD

Exactly. Just buy one for your clean and one for your distortion. Then you can even do the Fender one for clean/Mashall for dist. whatever you want.
There is a mode where you can use the footswitch to toggle between the clean and dirty channel 👌
Which 1 is best for straight metal, brutal force? Or 2 or 3 together?

El engl tenia que ser con humbuckers como con Diezel
No con Single coil

MOOER preamp or AMT preamp?
I`d say if you don`t need separate EQ for both channels, then AMT

Cool video,Thanks! Does 002 has enough gain for Marshallesque shredding?
Are you using a Noise Gate anywhere in the signal chain? These seem pretty quiet, even in the high-gain settings. I'm not hearing any noise "in-between" the notes.
He's plugged straight into an interface. Far less noise that night if he were to have these into an amp.

Daft question, the answer to this is probably obvious, but if you wanted could you NOT use the cab simulations and clean settings on these pedals, and just use them as regular distortion pedals through your amp?
Hey Brett, how responsive are these to the tone and volume pots on the guitar?
Did u put noise gate on your chain? Does this micro preamp don't produce unnecessary noise when you add more gain on dirt channel?
素晴らしい❗️
Burgs , if you could only pick one as a backup solution for a gig, which would you pick ?
From this vid , I'm leaning toward the Cali Mk3
Yep, that's the one. :)
Hey Burgs, any issues with weak signal? I experienced that when I bought the 004 Day Tripper.
None to speak of, David. The Day Tripper is pretty low gain, though. Medium gain at best on the Drive channel.

Hey Burgs! Which do you think would be the best preamp for running clean and pedals into it? Day tripper?
how would these sound if you used the Day Tripper as a clean sound, and then run the others into it for gain sounds?
