[@oscur_destal]

There's the Trelicopter between 1 and 2

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

Anderson's vids are by far the best demos on the Internet.

[@DrRussPhd]

Cheeky banter asaide, Pryemax Vintage has some of the best demos going.

[@itonalesabertooth8814]

+KaldDodeGitarist You obviously don't get out much !

[@aixpert291]

Villar Delphine who else do you recommend?

[@danielbrown8556]

As DrRussPhd said, Prymaxe's are fantastic - and far less geared towards selling stuff than Andertons'

[@EerieBetrayal]

prymaxe just plays though, it's ok for a random sound demo but you get more info out of these demos

[@Joeobrown1]

this is the most useful type of review, with lee changing things while rob plays, most reviews online are done by one person... this also makes it a lot more fun to watch, good job

[@srfBoris157]

I like how you lads bounce from ambient to amplifier microphone and back again. Gives a very helpful "close and far" comparision!

[@killercour]

that last one has some guts. awesome

[@danbalmer1]

Thanks for the demo. Have been wanting to hear these for a while. In 26min, I heard a majority. Great sound for the money.

[@cmzangetsu1993]

That last pedal sounded beast!

[@Zhaggysfaction]

Those sounded pretty awesome but I think the red Cruncher sounded best of them all. Very natural distortion. The black Blade was also good on most settings. The phase and choruses were very nice as well. Those will make a pretty beast looking mini pedalboard.

[@DaManJoeWho]

WOW these pedals are awesome!! The black secret, trellycoppter, 90 orange, ana eco, ensemble king, pitch box, the cruncher, and the blade really blew me away. You can see it all over Chappers face how much fun he had with those tiny little boxs of win.

[@Broxi57]

The most fun I've had watching a pedals review in a long time, well done fella's. :)

[@MB-yw3pv]

THAT BLADE SHOCKED ME, SOUNDED GOOD

[@walgraevemat]

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING

[@30smsuperstrat]

These are surprisingly great pedals! For those of us who have to be more compact getting to our gigs this size pedal is the way to go

[@TomPark1986]

Phaser, pitch shifter, cruncher, and ana delay all sounds great!

[@wheresallthezombies]

these are actually way better than i thought they were going to be

[@ADK_MSE]

These pedals look really good for all round use, bedroom practice, being as they dont take up lots of room and out on the road as they wouldnt take much effort to move about with other bits of equipment. Looking good.

[@Guimitar]

I was trying to look for reviews if these before and you guys decided to make reviews of them! Awesome!!

[@RobChappers]

Thanks mate, yeah we had many requests to have both ambient and close mic's on offer, we always aim to please ;-)

[@BradMaestas]

Thanks for the shootout, gents. Very helpful. These look to be a knockout value. Cheers!

[@TheMadWorldOfScience]

Just giving me a good feeling seeing you are having so mutch fun.

[@andertons]

@twiggymac No they aren't all digital. The drives are analogue as is the delay - you can get more details on the Andertons web site.

[@StevenYellows]

all these pedals surprised the hell out of me...way sick!!!!!

[@Shikigami666]

The Van Halen tone you got was amazing. These seem like really awesome fun lil pedals to experiment with. Capt. Lee, Chappers you may have very well talked this guy into trying these pedals out. Nicely done

[@SamParry_IsolaeCain]

Some nice diverse playing on this Chappers, I like it!!

[@lewisbarnes]

I was thinking of getting some of these anyway to pair with a Koch Studiotone for a mini-rig. I always like how we are on the same page and you post stuff just when I need it :-)

[@usernamepl0xx]

Finally! Another massive Andertons video!... It's going to be a good day

[@mhandel]

Hey guys, great demos. According to what I'm reading on Mooer's own demos of these pedals, they are true bypass, which for us tone freaks is a significant distinction! Not sure if you can confirm one way or the other from Mooer or via testing, but just thought I'd point that out.

[@OBPmusical]

I got these this morning! I FRIGGIN LOVE THEM! Thank you for showing me my first pedals. :3

[@jessie778899]

Thanks guys that's been way useful for me... Andertons is a cool shop too... I could spend a LOT of money in the acoustic lounge...

[@erwark]

Awesome vid, awesome pedals. You two never disappoint. :D If I could make a suggestion for videos like this - pop the name of the pedal in the corner while it's in use. It makes it much easier to keep track and would let people jump back and forth more easily (which would be super helpful in a 26:34 clip). Those high-low pitch shift sweeps were incredible.

[@Aint1S]

First video ever and glad to see some different pedals! Now I can carry a board in my pockets and change pedals by tilting in my chair!

[@YRUACNT]

The yellow comp is brilliant, best kept secret out there for guitar compressors.

[@ShoreStudios]

Would have really loved to see demos of there ElecLady Flanger pedal and Triangle Buff fuzz pedals, these guys actually make a sweet little product, I wanted a smaller pedal board for traveling and this looks like an awesome way to accomplish that.

[@AreYouExperienc3d]

Ana Echo = Boss DM-2, Black Secret = ProCo Rat/Turbo Rat, Blade = EHX Metal Muff, Blues Crab = Marshall Bluesbreaker (pedal), Cruncher = MI Audio Crunch Box, Ensmeble King = Boss CE-5, Green Mile = Tube Screamer, Nintey Orange = MXR Phase 90, Pitch Box = Digitech Whammy, ShimVerb = Strymon Bluesky w/El Capistan's finish, Trelicopter = Demeter Tremulator and Ultra Drive = Boss DS-1/DS-2. Kinda confusing, but it's the best I could do...

[@weareanimals5189]

Always the best videos guys, keep ‘em coming and THANKS! (Just realized this was 7rs ago lol)

[@JoyzerDk]

Great vid - like always - yet brought a smile to my face when you did the BLS riff :)

[@whyckicki]

We need more of those little boxes !

[@epicvsfvror]

Absolutely amazing sound quality!!! Well, they just rock!

[@Thekeon3]

I really dig the guitar! Looks like 70's wood paneling.

[@TheGuitarTheory]

I own the Cruncher and it's seriously an awesome little distortion pedal. It's kinda like a little lead channel on the go.

[@cjdavda]

I caught that Vai. Sneaky sneaky Mr. Chappers. I really enjoy these pedals. IMO totally worth the money.

[@_left_eye]

Richie Sambuca.. you guys are great!

[@nicolamontoro]

you guys do the best reviews and are very entertaining.

[@seehowirock]

was paying attention till you played di. ended up screaming "ride the tiger" at my cat

[@andertons]

@Mike Handelman You're right - they are true bypass - I just assumed they weren't cos of the price. My bad - its cos I never read the manuals!!

[@deanoplym]

some of the best pedals Ive ever heard, and for that money... !!!!

[@denmut]

I really liked the last one!

[@AnxoHunter]

Nice Review!! I have a three Mooer pedals: shimverb, cruncher and flanger. I´m very happy with them. They are true bypass, solid, cheap and the most important...they sound really good. I also love the compct size because of my tiny pedalboard. Great pedals!!

[@Potatoast]

WOW!! A lot of bang for the buck with these pedals!

[@ChurKirby]

I'm surprised there's not much talk over the ana echo pedal. One of the best sounding pedals I've heard and they don't have any comments on it! For the record, from what I've read and my own experience, these pedals are all true bypass

[@jaybals]

That pitch box sounds great, i had the same idea about Christmas Stocking filler. I'll have to be a good boy... Also liking the Tremolo, that's one thing my new Amp is missing (Sold an Ac30 for a Cornell Romany Plus)

[@SAMcombination]

Really suprised by the quality of the more ' effecty ' effects cheers Chappers :D

[@ricebowlranch]

nice! but i woud have liked to see the hustle drive, pure boost, and flex drive as well

[@robertlucky]

these sound really fucken good. not what i was expecting at all!

[@yobhsiFehT]

Definitely one of your best videos in a while, guys! Very thorough and informative. Only one question: when do they arrive in the States? I may need to buy them... all:P lol

[@Matt-T-Lee]

They are actually True Bypass. I ordered The Green Mile Overdrive and its brilliant !

[@XcatisX]

You guys should do a video comparing these pedals to their full-size counterparts :)

[@m1garandisthebest]

These pedals look cool! I like the compactness!

[@JODAHmirasol]

i really hope these pedals will arrive here in the Davao, Philippines :D they're superb! :)

[@davidwantsahug]

I love the tiny pedal board they've brought out now, I'm waiting for a Mooer Mini wah ;)

[@davewebb3847]

Great fun. Minor quibble with the Pitch Box part, and I heard the same thing on another review ... five semitones is a fourth, not a fifth, and seven semitones is a fifth. But loved the review.

The Cruncher is a beast! I've seen other reviwes and I think i'm gonna buy one.

[@andertons]

@MrJesusCrisp We did all the pedals that we had, but I know there are one or two they make that we didn't have.

[@Chozal]

The Blade f-in rocked my socks off.

[@sneezguitar]

AWESOME INTRO MAN!

[@bradlawrenceofficial]

I bought the Green Mile and the Blue Faze today, now, the Green Mile ain't a Tube Screamer, I have an '81 TS-808, and the Green Mile is like somebody pumped my 808 full of steroids and shoved a rocket up it's arse after feeding it nothing but caffeine for a month, it's monstrous! As for the Blue Faze, it caused my Excelsior to cook, it drove the thing that hard, at a quarter of the volume! I HIGHLY recommend these pedals!

[@TobyKBTY]

Holy cow these things sound great.

[@Tychades]

WOO! Another long Chappers vid!

[@adaptiveagile]

Laughed so hard I woke up my wife, so u should be ashamed of yourselves. Great review. Love Mooer pedals.

[@RobChappers]

Thanks mate, we'll bare that in mind with editing etc ;-)

[@coffeewaldo]

They r sold in the states. (Where I am). I just got my ultra drive. It sound pretty good.

[@EverfreeTree]

Bit of an odd surprise when an old Chappers and Lee video is available in... 50 fps? Huh... cool.

[@gibson59lps]

The pitch shifting pedal would be awesome through an old fender baseman using the really low octives

[@TheAxshredder]

I think the only brand that has made a really nice sounding/good quality/low priced high gain distortion pedal is Joyo with the US Dream. But these Mooer pedals do nice delay and modulation fx's! Great video! And sell them Chappers and Lee shirts!

[@EdgarBeja]

These pedals sound awsome!

[@TantricConvulsions]

I was disappoint. I was hoping for a teeny tiny fuzz pedal. But the Ultra Drive is awesome. Does the chorus do that almost-leslie-thing that some choruses do? I'm looking to rid myself of the big honking chorus on my board, but only if it can do that thingy. You know... The thingy...

[@webseiter]

Great coincidence as I got to know about these just yesterday and thought: Man, I HAVE TO HAVE the Mooer Hustle Drive! Unfortunately that's one YOU didn't sho in your collection ;-) But all in all this brand is one to look for and take the pedals for a ride. Look great, sound great and seem to deliver some great bang for the buck.

[@andertons]

@Alex Hayes Is that good or bad?

[@colinparks619]

Wow mooer have come a long way !!! The fried man and mk3 preamps are v v useable That first drive pedal sounded like bum bum

[@guitarguy5253]

This one? - He was the singer with the Bristol-based band the Glaxo Babies and with the British alternative rock band The Transmitters, a music journalist for Mojo and other magazines and newspapers, he made some broadcasting with the BBC National Network, wrote some books, including an acclaimed Syd Barrett biography, Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head (2010), and a rock-novel, Dusk Music (2008). He is also "Senior Lecturer in Music Journalism" with the University of Huddersfield.

[@mattchurchill]

Great sounding boxes!

[@sim0n17]

I couldn't find a better new analog delay anywhere to beat the micro ana echo,... 49 pounds and performs as well as a MXR Carbon Copy -- Cheers for the demo Lads!!

[@yahdboy]

what was it that he was playing at around 9:21 - 9:28 ?? Sounds really great with those pedals together.

[@thebassistsoldier]

Love that wooly tone at 21:44

[@Bulgarian1990]

The pedals are stunning ;)

[@BradyKenniston]

I have an odd question for you Rob. Where did you guys get those awesome British flag pillows? I love them!

[@givemeajackson]

the blade sounds surprisingly good for a distortion pedal.

[@SONGSTICKS]

I just Love your reviews, you're obviously great mates and you have FUN !!! It's a shame these pedals don't have an expression input as I've just treated myself to a Source Audio Hot hand 3 and I'm just chaffing at the bit to find pedals to use it with :0) Great Reviews as always !!!!

[@coffeewaldo]

Got the ultra drive sounds really good.

[@Smiagol08]

Those pedals are awesome as hell !!!! Rob, could you and Lee do a review of the quite new Laney Ironheart 120 or 60 series Head ? There simply is no well done video of this amp online so far....it would be cool if you can do an awesome one :D cherrs George from AUSTRIA (....yeah the little country between Germany and Italy ^^)

[@thebassistsoldier]

Rob, at 9:20 are you making up what you're playing or is that an acutal song? That sounds wicked!!!!

[@andertons]

@bignickm99 In my opinion it goes Craig, Connery, Brosnan, Moore, Dalton, then Lazenby. And for Bond buffs David Niven played an early version and was cool too.

[@henryfaulkner6051]

Hey guys what’s up with the rifle shell on the floor..? BTW...very nice video..!

[@DirtyAncom]

Their bass pedals are also great, especially the "fog" fuzz pedal

[@14lamnc1]

Mooer is badass!!!!!

[@30smsuperstrat]

Did I miss the fuzz demo ? I think they make 3, why no David Lee Roth era Vai on the DS1 clone Rob?

[@andertons]

@RobChappers Is it in the key of sush-E?

[@Lewid93]

I really like what you did with having the ambient mics in this video, I always thought it fairly silly demoing things with just a close mic, I don't know anybody who plays their guitar with their face right next to the speaker cone the whole time. Whereas the ambient mics give a better representation of what you'd hear in your ears when playing normally. Not saying having the close mic is bad, but I'm sure y'all know what I mean.

[@Teraku1503]

This is just awesome for those prices!

[@davidwantsahug]

I've got the Black Secret and Ana Echo on my list as my next two pedals :)

[@CallumGarland]

I have the cruncher and it is bloody amazing

[@BlakeMullens]

Do you think i should get that, or the mxr 78 super badass?

[@CallumGarland]

Blake Mullens Ive never tried the mxr badass but the mooer cruncher is amazing and great for how much it is

[@Nyholt]

CallumGarland Blake Mullens I have the Cruncher and the Mad Professor Mighty Red Distortion (which I again bought over the mxr badass). I have to admit I prefer the Mooer of those three. It gives me a more JCM800 sound, while the Mad Prof. has a lot more noise to it if you ask me. I play a Les Paul studio on a vox ac30 cc2.
