MOOER E7 Polyphonic Synth

[@mutlucagliyan4865]

Man, I bought almost every pedal you demoed. Such a great guitarist you are...

[@ILLRICARDO]

Mooer is killing it with these amazing pedals.

[@vubear]

As a guitar synth player I'm glad more companies are getting on board but most of these things need MORE. We're only gonna get the kind of fat sounds people are after with more "oscillators", filters, cutoffs etc.

[@ChrisSamuel1729]

What is the other type of sound?

[@im-bb4fn]

Loved this pedal, fits great in really crowded pedal board. I do believe, however, that it is time for updates to the 7 modes and maybe different arpeggiators... honey moon period is ending.

[@GuitarGuyAl]

I got mine a few weeks ago. It's fun to play. I find most of the presets are pretty usable when the arpeggiator function is off.

[@rubberbandlevin]

Allen Butler Hey, how are you doing with your pedal, what sort of music are you using it for? I’m trying to find a pedal that can replace piano accordion and a brass section, do think this pedal will cover those sounds? Greetings from New Zealand. Mike.

[@arieltricomi3621]

This is how you do a good pedal review. thank you mike

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

Yes, he and Andy on Reverb Reviews are the best.

[@mahdenny]

I have the Boss SY-1 and the Meris Enzo, but I still would like to check this out when it becomes available. At the very least, it can be on the backup-board. 7 Presets is also quite impressive for such a tiny pedal. I don't think we need too many presets with this kind of pedal, but more is always better, of course. Overall, if it's ultra-affordable like I'd suspect it would be, then two thumbs up for Mooer.👍👍

[@sennstrato7281]

$99........ I have the enzo also. How is the boss pedal? I'm going to get this also.

[@mahdenny]

@@sennstrato7281 Boss SY-1 tracks like Aragorn, Ranger of the North... Very straight-forward with 11 different types of sound, each with 11 different variation, so you WILL find a usable synth sound for you... I would sometimes find the best results with the Enzo in the send/return loop of the SY-1... You get some amazing sounds that way...

[@sennstrato7281]

@@mahdenny Thank you.

[@vubear]

@@mahdenny Good call putting the Enzo in the loop.

[@digitalramyun]

@@sennstrato7281 Maybe I’m coming in a bit late, but: I have the SY-1, which I think is a great synth pedal (sadly, my wallet couldn’t stretch to the Enzo, but one day...). Preset-based, so easy to dive in with; I can use about 70% of the presets (some are a bit gimmicky, TBH), but the good ones are great). Expression-pedal and footswitch “combo” input (it’s either/or); tap-tempo is possible, but for a single footswitch I had to have a custom TRS cable made. Overall: I definitely recommend the SY-1.

[@gwugluud]

I ordered one, because I'm starting to think some of the negative demos which initially repelled me from being interested in this pedal, may have been by ppl who are biased vs strange or unusual efx, and they weren't interested enough to dial in deeper settings and only demo'd the canned presets.

[@organjoe]

Assuming this is inexpensive, it's my latest must have! Great demo MH!

[@AlexCVeach]

I just looked into it, it's on $99 on Amazon, making the cheapest synth pedal I can find and it sounds great!!!

[@organjoe]

@@AlexCVeach cool - thanks for the info!

[@AlexCVeach]

@@organjoe you're most welcome!!!

[@armyofazra1922]

Good job Mooer. Now the idea for the next guitar synth pedal. The external sync via midi on arpeggios is must to have. Please do something like that and I'll go nuts shopping. Cheers

[@jfethier5604]

The polyphonic on this one makes it better than Keeley Synth: that is why I kept the Mooer. A classic by Mooer along with the Yellow Comp Tender Octaver and Electric Lady.

[@Molotov_Milkshake]

Damn, this pedal is amazing! Ordered one right away. I'm part-way through writing and producing a synthy hardcore EP and this thing will work perfectly for the sounds!

[@jonathanramos8503]

WW opening theme was a nice touch!

[@Pablo_viana]

A mix of synth and ring modulator. Cool!

[@elliotkcollins]

I’m more of a producer and was gonna be a good boy and buy a bass Pre amp sim then I saw this pedal so my money went immediately to this thing 🤨 thanks for using chords to demo.

[@w43o21l2f]

Those things track so good, they should have a “midi out”

[@tlister67]

I would buy one to use as a controller for IOS synth apps

[@neuchigen]

I read this as though a joke was being told and the punchline is so hipster. It's one of those, "if you know, you know" kinda jokes.

[@RosalvoParadella]

Muito bom esse pedal. Se tivesse midi sync out seria perfeito pra usar o arpeggiator com uma drummachine.

[@rockduds]

Podia dar pra controlar os presets com o pé, tipo uma pedaleira (controladora)

[@RosalvoParadella]

@@rockduds também. Se pegasse um pedal de controle externo, tipo os FS7 da Boss. Seria muito mais prático !!

[@stephencraig8578]

Can that pedal do the sounds on Van Halen Dancing in the street?

[@alexskibicki2262]

Awesome pedal...I would like to get one for my pedalboard.

[@Vazmusic]

Does it track well when playing faster lines of single notes?

[@w43o21l2f]

There are many on the market now, yet I’m still waiting for the one with “MIDI out” . The 9er series from EHX would be my best candidates. Missing the “wow” sound on this one.

[@a1s1pinky]

Wolf Richter Consider checking the Meris Enzo, it has midi out+ exp pedals

[@w43o21l2f]

Swan AMP thanks, will check out. Have a GR 55 and a GP 10, as well as some mono2midi (M2M). Also tried Hoxton Owl, made some “Pure Data” patches to convert guitar input via FFT into midi. EHX does that very well, just don’t like the presets. Maybe someone finds a hack for Midi-out (like on the Volcas). Mod Duo is a good candidate as well, got one recently. Happy spring, friend!

[@TheFarout69]

I love my Dirty Robot - but this thing has presets.. dig. It's small enough I could use both. Dang, one left, one right!

Can you use it on acoustic guitar and how it sounds?

[@chenxi8633]

So far the usb function hasn’t been useful, right?

[@brCharlieNagy]

Does it have a high glassy tone/sound like high vibraphone or hitting glass cups with a tea spoon ? :D

[@kevinr.3542]

Just like a review said, this has a few sweet pre sets that make it worth the price. But then iit has a few presets (like 3l that would be usable if not for the ever present phaser effect going wweeeeeeeeoooooooowwwwww at a random speed.

[@hollowmenrule]

Sounds better than hex synth9. No music but those are three times as much. I will get one of these. With my looper 2 amps and effects that will be nice. Plus my xwp1 on a looper pedal too

[@digitalramyun]

So close... if there was a “tap tempo” input jack on this machine, for external control the speed of the arpeggiator, the E7 would almost certainly be joining the BOSS SY-1 on my pedalboard. Actually: it still might...

[@faunoram]

Rocket !!

[@jamesmcmahan1236]

Some of these sounds + delay and reverb pedals...could get some fat tones

I guess this one ain’t so bad but,..having the Source Audio C4 already in use,..this is winding up to be as it’s priced. Not bad tho’ if one just wants “some Synth Sounds” and NOT expect much else. But if ya want more functionality,..you’re gonna be reaching into your wallet to pull out way more💰👌🏾That commented ,..on the real,..combine this with a good Chorus & Delay/Reverb pedal and you’ve got something to play with that should bring out a grin‼️😁🎛✨🎸🎶

[@jollyradtv9941]

all the patches almost sounded the same including the arpeggiator. good to see companies are getting into guitar synth pedal in a cheap price but got a long way to go yet!

[@jul3249]

Anyone actually played with this and can attest to its ability to track chords? I'm not looking at actually using it in any noticeable way. I'm just looking for a small layer to give dimension and beefiness to my rhythm playing since I have alot of gigs with only a drummer this summer. Almost like a reverb that no-one notices but that makes people go "damn they sound bigger than just a drum and a guitar"

[@brighthsu8027]

Herbie！

[@mikki_ams]

Cool

[@antoninmika8820]

so it doesnt play more than one tone at once?

[@SirPraiseSun]

apreggio maker easy way to get some backing track loops

[@aangtonio5570]

The tones are ok for the price, but the arpeggiator without tap tempo (at least) is pretty useless in a real context. I'll save for the SY-1, the Synth9 or the Enzo.

[@LuisEduardoBraschi]

2:55 what happened there?

[@cluecumber]

doesn't sound super good, but you might as well get this over an enzo imo. the only thing you'll get out of a synth pedal is annoying/amusing whoever you play with and eventually realize you should have just gotten an actual synth.

[@joelrudnick]

Ditto, this at least has some weird sounds

[@geraldfriend256]

8 bit sample of a skeeter fart thru a Cadio Sk1..would sound fatter.If you like that kind of thing.

[@thecountertyrant9654]

Westworld

[@Scott__C]

Personally, I want some sounds but I don't want to have spend hours creating a sound, twiddling knobs and thinking about how an oscillator works. I just want a few key sounds - piano, organ, strings, maybe some others. I also want them without a hex pickup. I thought Roland was headed that way when the SY-300 came out, but I guess they're moving slow on this.

[@GearOfDarkness]

Maybe check out the Mel9 by Electro Harmonix. They have some other pedals in this category, too.

[@Scott__C]

​@@GearOfDarkness Thanks, I have looked at them, but again, they're kind of some of the way there. I'm going to try out the SY-1 since it seems to cover more of the bases in one unit.

[@STRATMAN1969]

@@Scott__C Did you ever get an SY-1 ? I got one about a month ago ,and can't stop playing it. I really love it .So easy to get right into it ,and start playing .The strings setting is to die for .It only took me a few hours to nail down my key sounds .I think it's easy to dial in ,and remember settings.

[@Scott__C]

@@STRATMAN1969 I did. It's definitely cool and I hope Roland keeps going that way toward the synths without the hex pickup. I may get the new pedal where you can save some presets.

Wow it sounded like it has a built in band sound I could hear extra keyboards , bass and drums what a pedal it can do much , and I thought it was just a synth pedal, it sounds like a whole band.

[@stagnatic]

Exactly.

[@freddylopez7536]

Yeah I agree with the thumbs down. I love Mike on most of what he demos but this particular pedal is pretty cheesy. Companies come up with some whacky sounds that are un guitar like and call it a synth. In my opinion Mike is one of the tastiest pickers out there but the reviewer earlier said it. Even he can't save this useless piece of tin. If someone came up with a pedal that actually had the fat quality of an actual synth it would be a hit. String pads, organ, Rhodes, Moog etc. then I'd get excited. I have the 25 year old Roland that has no sounds but triggers a synth and amazingly it still kicks ass over all the new attempts like Triple Play and devises like that. I'm forcing myself to just make the guitar stand on its own and be happy.

[@dariodurso7388]

SCHIFO!!!

Why not just get a synth? lol

Cuz some ppl can express better via guitar, and can skip years of practicing on keys

[@ScottHz]

...for $99? 🤣

[@tedtriss1223]

Not a patch on the dirty robot. cheap sounding in the face of a mono synth and the arpeggiator is useless. for a ring modulator I prefer my gonkulator and I'm gonna be honest, I'm in a bad mood after playing with it feeling proper let down. it's a lemon. I thought I was gonna get bang for buck but in all honesty I've been butt banged instead... I expected a pedal I could actually have fun with. its disappointing, it doest like humbuckers and every single sound is oversaturated or tinny and limp. I have a lot of pedals and this pedal defines the word poor imitation. It's honestly cringeworthy sound quality. I'm selling it on and wont be buying a mooer product again.

[@recordjnky]

ok so its basically unusable.....

[@ShadovvV]

10 minutes of pointless noodling. How about this.. Try a little bit or more subtlety with the mix knob and then play an actual rhythm guitar part. It's not that difficult.

[@ScottHz]

...subtlety with the mix knob, like at 4:26? You might like the demo at kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoGlioivi9iCasU for more variation of the knobs.
