Thanks for the "no hype" info and I totally agree with the mini pedal thing...and went a little nuts...this is what I ended up with >> Donner Harmonic Square > Donner Blues Drive > Mooer Brown Sound III (005) > Donner Alpha FX > Mooer Micro Drummer > Lekato Looper with extension pedal > Mooer Baby Bomb > Vox 1x12 cab (made from an old Vox lead 30) Now I gotta make a pedal board like the one you made but a tad bit longer...;-)

Ibanez Mini Tubescreamer (overdrive) -> Mooer Pure Boost (booster - post-drive for volume boost) -> Mooer Micro Preamp 011 Cali-Dual (Dual Rectifier sim) -> Mooer Baby Water (chorus/delay) -> Mooer Radar (cab/mic sim) I really dig this rig, man. Everything you truly need in the palm of your hand - all you need is a plug and a (flat response) speaker. Mooers are true value - they're cheap but 95% of the way there. Usually only another gear head can hear the difference between the Mooer and the thing it's copying anyway(talking especially about their black secret, blues mood, hustle drive, trelicopter, e-lady)

Having mini pedals on a mini pedal board can be so great, like you said for traveling, and for saving space also. I have an Ibanez mini tube screamer, and use it to tighten the tone on my Peavey Bandit and know how good of a pedal it is. And after watching this, I'm considering of building my own mini pedal board, or try make a pedal board as small as possible.

@PlagueScytheStudios6 жыл бұрын
The anvil pre amp from is one of my favorites for cleans. Use a compressor, an EQ with a high shelf, cut on the lows, and an overall level boost, the pre amp, power amp sim (El 84s are my favorite for cleans) a suitable IR, and some spacious reverb. That's how I get my prog style cleans, which is basically a more saturated jazz tone.

Great in-depth video man. Could you disable the built-in cab sim and use the footswitch to switch between channels? Will the pedal "remember" that the cab sim is off? I've got little knowledge of the mooer preamps but I'm interested in getting one.
@PlagueScytheStudios6 жыл бұрын
Yes, I keep the cab simulation off these entire time so the Radar does the cabinet duties. Of course, it also works for running the pedal into the FX Loop of an amp.

How did you pull off that stutter at 8:45? I was not expecting that. Amazing!
@markusmaidla Жыл бұрын
He was probably using a Les Paul style guitar with two volume controls and a toggle switch(not a blade switch) considering how fast he pulled the stuttering off. If you do have a guitar like this, you’ll just need to set one of the volume controls to 0 based on which pickup you want to mute and just flick the switch as much as you wish 🙂

@riffsage4 жыл бұрын
my only reservation with this is the radar pedal. the whole point is simplicity and that thing is basically a mini helix with enough options to consume your entire session. id go with a simpler cab emulator so less faffing about it the tone isn't right. at this point you might as well just get a pod or something like that.
@Murf_Workshop3 жыл бұрын
Nice Rig!!! I've been curious about these Mooer pedals ever since I bought the Radar to use with my Line 6 POD X3. The CAB IR simulations brought that old pedal back to value. currently I'm looking into the Mooer Fifty Fifty to run on a board for recording and covers. I did have a question for you about your power source. What power source are you implementing on that plank? do you have a link or a description. The trouble I have is finding a power source for multiple pedals on the board that can also work with the Radar.

Hey man, can I pick your brain? Putting together my own fly rig but am unsure what order the pedals should be connected. I think it should be noise gate, boost, mooer micro preamp, delay, reverb, and Mooer radar last. Then it goes to my DAW, or P.A. or whatever. Am I correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
@PlagueScytheStudios5 жыл бұрын
You have the basic gist down. You might find your noise gate to work better after th boost pedal depending on how sensitive it is, just do some experimenting and see what you like. Delay and reverb may sound better after the Radar as well, but in theory it shouldn't matter if they're mono. If you use stereo capable wet effects though, definitely put them after the cab sim, otherwise you're spot on.

Do NOT put any pedal after a power amp, even the Baby Bomb. You will fry it. And don't use both the Radar and the Baby Bomb at the same time unless you have a non powered FRFR cab. You're stacking two cabinet sounds, which would sound like ass. You can split the signal in two and run the Radar direct and the power amp into a cabinet.
