Mooer Preamp Model X

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Man, we live in a wonderful time to play electric guitar and to be able to capture is awesome. Even better is I can just download your captures or anyone's and just rock out. Loved the tones man. For a cheap pedal it sounded great I thought. Great video my man. Be well friend..❤️🤘

[@mrAxelat]

The Mooer capture sounds so much better than the cortex 😂

[@JohnnyOskam]

Seems like that part of the video was cut out? It slipped right over it for me

[@xxxgabaxxx]

I don't know if it sounds better. BUT, considering the quad cortex costs at least 10x more, the Mooer definitely is worth checking out. I bought mine today for $100 from aliexpress...

[@devilslide01]

I was looking at using this to replace preamps and cabs in my line 6 hd500x. Being able to get other peoples captures could make this unit extend the life of my pod

[@89ji76]

Gonna recommend this to my friends who usually gig with a pedalboard and back line amps. It’s not really worth springing for an Iridium etc as just a backup but this seems very worth it.

[@TheEricsnet1]

This peddle really puts a check mark in a lot of boxes for me. Thanks for the review.

[@LeonTodd]

My pleasure!

[@peterharvin2775]

I dearly love tubes and big cabs. But when you hear tones like these come out of these tiny pedals, you start to wonder.

[@LeonTodd]

Crazy hey

[@TheHairyDude]

I thinks it sounds fine, but I think Mooer missed a key feature here - MIDI control. The ability to receive PC or CC commands to switch patches would have made it a winner.

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

Yep.

[@pipelineaudio]

100000 percent...I wanted this in the fx loop of my helix, but nope

[@anthonytumia]

Sounds great but I wish Mooer would focus more on adding updates to their flagship models instead of bringing out a whole lot of variations of the same thing. Like this isn’t much different to a Preamp Live. Meanwhile GE300 is still using the same studio software design since the beginning and firmware updates come out on something like an annual basis.

[@mortenroedfrederiksen3393]

Totally agree.

[@seanantley1965]

Very very cool and love the little King’s X shot there man!!! Great Job bro!!!

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks man! Hope you're well

[@swmorgan515]

Great vid I just picked one of these up. I can always count on some king's x riffs in your videos

[@Cris-Chugz]

I curently own the mooer 005 ( 5150 ) and I’m thinking of switching to this one instead, but i’m not sure if the sounds are just as good. I would use the pedal in front of an amp. Any suggestions?

[@arsfarciministhorkeksson7661]

Just bought one today and saw this video in my sub feed lmao keep rocking Leon

[@RicardoDLF]

Hey very cool tones there! In spite of tone and/or other modellers preference, this one seems to capture and nail the "right" tone. I just wonder, for live purposes it does have its limits but how it would interact with other equipments such as with effects. For example, Line 6 effects pedal. Sound and connectivity wise, could it work good? I dont see an FX loop to connect to, then to position overdrive and time signal stomps in the right or best chain possible. Could this be an obstacle which diminishes tone and performance? By hearing this pedal here, I can add to my wishlist for a compact/portable and good sounding solution.

[@yanossnicklefritz7064]

Very cool. I had a MOOER GE250 for a while that had capture. Not a bad processor in ways though not a FM3, FM9 or a Helix. When I look at the great modelers that are standard now and if development is left unhindered will only grow into more. I don't think a guitarist needs an amp anymore if they don't want to and love to use many different amp tones. Simply investing in a good FRFR that fits your volume projection needs is a better way to go. That way you can use it with whatever modeler rig you like and when the time comes you want to upgrade, you don't need to change your whole rig. Just plug the new modeler into your FRFR and go. I'm using a ISP FS8 right now with my FM3 and I love the sound I get. And at gigs and practice you just plug it into the PA as you well know Leon. I still have my Mesa Mark V, but I don't need it, if I don't want to lug it.

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah high SPL is what most people miss when playing a modeller.

[@yanossnicklefritz7064]

@@LeonTodd I think the days of cranked high watt tube amps are gone. Lots of venues don't want it. People will get used to the changes. But you can still crank up a FRFR. Some of them sound real good. You've reviewed quite a few. But with the current restrictions on Russia, where lots of the tubes come from and potential for world war cutting out the other manufacturing in Europe and China, things may get pretty lean. And people may be forced to use modelers.

[@ShreddingFinn]

If you had an AXE-FX 3 or some ultra boutique amp and said all these sounds were coming from that, I'd have no reason to doubt it. This thing sounds good, I don't even need one and I may pull the trigger today haha..edit...done

[@LeonTodd]

Nice!

[@ShreddingFinn]

@@LeonTodd the metal captures are great, there are tons, but my favorite use so far is an acoustic amp capture by Max Avrusci, i threw a 3 Sigma Martin 45 IR in one of the slots, and now I have an absolutely pristine acoustic sound coming from one pedal that fits in my acoustic case, prior to that I was dragging my whole board around to run IRs off the Stomp

[@bengirard1984]

Noob question! I have a Headrush MX5 that I use mainly for effects in the 4 cable method with my amp. What would be the setup if I would use this pedal only in the power amp of my amp, using the HR fx? Guitar to HR input, then HR output to the Mooer input, then the Mooer output to the amp return? Something like that?

[@MBSGAMES_]

Is your Dropbox with IRs down?

[@FlightSimDude]

When you say a built-in cab sim, do you mean an analog circuit that simulates a cab or do you mean an impulse response?

[@andybecker5001]

Would love to hear this into the katana power amp for live sound

[@MrWaynetolson]

Bought one based on your vid and the x2 cab slapped the mimiq stereo version between the two Moore x2 pre an cab. I like you pointed out the Moore studio to get the irs other people had done. Could not understand how you got from iPad ge labs to the x2 till I watched your video (you don’t use studio). One question I do have how can a cab only ir be captured without been coloured by the main amp. I am on the old side so please forgive my ignorance. I notice Celestion sell irs, I am tempted to have a punt to see how they compare to some of my originals in my Marshall cabs from the 70s, 80,s and 90,s though they don’t specify which cab manufacture they used.

[@LeonTodd]

You can use a flat power amp to shoot IR's which is what I do.

[@MPD2003]

can you plus this directly into a mixer to front of the house as a backup if your amp goes down or would you need to go through a di box?

[@taurushamilton2739]

King’s X ! Fuck yeah!💣🎸🤘🏾yo I nabbed the Mooer preamp live w Tone capture via Craigslist on Saturday for $40!!!!… SCORE! Had to drive about an hour and 20 minutes😂… well worth the drive… don’t hate fellas👊🏾 great demo as always brother ✊🏾

Great video. Thanks!

[@hereonmars]

Shout out for the King's X riff 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@matheusribamarfonseca4950]

Leon, you have varied experience with pedals and multi-effects, in addition to producing excellent tones. You also know the HX STOMP very well. I bought one since your video about the 3.5 update. Can you help me? I wanted your opinion. Is it worth buying this MOOER Preamp x2 and a CAB X2 to use in the FX Loop of the HX Stomp, and thus free up more dsp and effects blocks? Do you really vouch for their quality? I was also thinking between NUX AMP ACADEMY.... but mooer loads the tone captures...

[@LeonTodd]

The Model X lets you load your own cabs so it could be a good place to start - cheap, tone captures and easy to use.

[@jessicabastos-k5j]

Need a computer around to use it?or could do with a phone?

[@mattgilbert7347]

I'm sure it's very good but i just can't handle menus on a screen when i stare at them all day at work. Happy with my Mooer 002 Micro Preamp pedal with my NUX Solid Studio. I keep everything on one setting. Just like if i only had one amp in the room. I would like to know how to capture. Never done it. Idk what is needed. An amp, a unit like this and..?

[@LeonTodd]

The models are listed on the side of the pedal and can be selected with the footswitches so you can untether.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Can you plug this into power amp and turn off the amp sims?

Hi. Where can I get more amps and cabinets files? Thank you

[@rodrisierra2758]

Nice video and nice product! Can you connect it directly into the audio interface?

[@maxwellalmeida7299]

Is possible to load captures from Mooer GE series?

[@NessMeister]

so I use 3 channels live: clean, rhythm and my lead channel. So with this I would need to create a preset with a clean amp + rhythm amp if I need to switch between clean and rhythm live and then switch to another preset where I have my rhythm amp + lead amp if I want to go from rhythm to playing lead. right? Isn't that a bit too fiddly for a live setting?

[@LeonTodd]

Yes.

[@starrcitizenalpha7847]

Hi. Excellent demo, as always. I preferred the second tone (slightly "fatter" and articulate) and was pleasantly surprised it was the Mooer. Having said that, both sounded great and in a mix the difference would have been unnoticeable. Be well.

[@citiesunderthesea8445]

Have you tried running you JMP-1 into this?

[@davemonty8979]

Never mind. Lol. It’s at the end lol. IMO I think the Mooer sounds better than QC

[@cameronlaing2829]

Are Your captures anywhere online for this pedal. This thing shits on the nux amp Academy

There should be a few of them on the Mooer tone exchange thing

[@wihluca_]

Dude, I have two questions, please. Is it worth me discarding a flamma fs07 and fs06 to just use the mooer preamp x2 or will I lose sound quality? Or another option, I use the mooer preamp x2 with the flamma fs07, but the x2 with the cabinet simulation turned off of course. What is better??? Thank you in advance if you can help me, brother.

[@LeonTodd]

"Better" is a tricky term when comparing things that are so dependent on personal taste. If you can afford to grab the X2 before you sell the other stuff then compare and contrast. The cab loading in this sounds fine IMO

[@wihluca_]

@@LeonTodd thanks, Bro 🙌🏻👏🏻

[@rayzorback88]

I have a similar setup - Flamma FS06 into a Two Notes Cab M+. Sounds pretty darn good, but tone junkies are junkies. Just curious, were you able to try out the Mooer preamp?

[@mickenilsson]

Can I load in acoustic IRs and shut off the Amp side? Can I load IR bass amps and cabs?

Don't see why not

[@mickenilsson]

@@LeonTodd I was thinking that too, but you never know. I think it'll work tho!

[@zakklee2556]

Does anyone have IR captures of their phones? Using youtube compression of course..there is none better. Then gigs will sound more familiar 🤔? That sounds exactly like your youtube uploads! Or would it be easier to just live stream while performing and mic the phone? But for the pure a youtube aficionado, stream while performing and have the audience's phones all watching the live stream , thereby elimating the sound system.
