SMALLEST EVH 5150 EVER - Mooer 005 Fifty Fifty 3 / Brown Sound 3 - Preamp Pedal

[@sbrave2]

Been using the 002 Marshall with their Babybomb power amp pedal into a 1x12 Mesa cab, and it rules. Super simple for a tiny pedalboard rig! The clean channel is good enough for hard rock stuff.

[@madmikemike]

Rad. Sounded pretty convincing to me, specially live like you said. I use to have a block letter 5150, which I severely miss and have been wanting a evh3 for a while now. I’ll have to grab this pedal and run it thru my 800. New sub. Cheers bro

[@MadManMusic]

Awesome! Welcome! Yeah man this pedal rocks! Small, affordable, and effective! Just be sure to deactivate the Cab Sim! Let us know how it works for you! 🤘🏼😜

[@luckyluc25]

I love this pedal in my setup. Guitar into an ISP Deci-mate - Mini Ibanez Tube Screamer - MOOER 005. Through the effects loop 1 on my Boss MS-3 multi effect switcher with some added delay and volume for solos and the MS-3 on board noise gate after the loop. Then into a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170, to an Avatar 4x12 with 2 V30's and 2 G12T75's. It's crushing. Been using this as my main live setup for a couple years now. Great video

[@MadManMusic]

Nice Rig!! Thanks for sharing dude! 🤘🏼😜

Dude you should know that your 005 video convinced me to one of those... Since you're a devoted EVH 5150 user, you are the most reliable ''source'' for checking this little thing. You know how the real thing works, sounds and reacts on stage, in studio or in a plain room so if the 005 convinced you, it will certainly convince me too. Great stuff man, keep it up!

[@MadManMusic]

Thanks Bill! I am a serious EVH Fan. In my opinion, it is the only tone for me! The 005 is a GREAT little Preamp pedal and when used correctly can give you TONS of Bang for the Buck... and this thing isn't even very expensive! But you should also keep in mind, it may be a one trick pony. You're not going to get the full dynamic range of a real EVH Tube Amp from this pedal. But it will definitely get you close. I do recommend using it with the built in IR Disabled. The IR is the only downside of this pedal. If you're running this pedal into the FX Return of an Amp you'll need to do this anyway. Try teaming it up with the Mad Man Music "Nasty Cab" ➡️ mad-man-music-merch.creator-spring.com It will sound HUGE! Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼😜

[@ScienceofLogicTV]

Sounds very very close to the real amp. A little colder and with less bottom end... but man look at the price tag. What a time to be a musician.

[@MadManMusic]

Right!? Its a wild time for sure! Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼😜

[@martincarrasco4991]

Awesome review! I bought this little pedal about 2 or 3 years ago and never really put it through its paces. I need to fiddle around with it a bit more now that I heard what you did with it. Thanks!

[@MadManMusic]

[@nathancorrao8570]

I absolutely love this pedal! I have a peavey invective mh for the power amp and a 6505+112combo amp with the reaper hp 50 wgs speaker and love the sound I'm getting. I'm boosting and tighting it up with a percision drive clone! I'm using the line 6 pod express for cab noise gate modulation reverb delay and looper with others on the board as well!

[@schecter7elite801]

@@MadManMusic hell yeah man! Subscribed!! Can't wait. It would be sick to hear this boosted into a clean channel. 🙂🤘

[@MadManMusic]

Awesome! Thanks for being here! Technically, You wouldnt want to use it that way. The FX Loop is a way for using “Pre-Amp” pedals like this.. When you run this into the front of an amp (Clean Channel) you’ll have Gain Staging and EQ happening “after” the Pre-Amp Pedal’s signal.. so those two things will drastically effect the sound of the pedal. Which you dont want. In the FX Loop Return, you’ve bypassed the amps build in Pre-Amp and you’re sending signal directly into the power section. So its the cleanest possible signal. That’s where the Pedal can work its magic! I’ll talk more about it in future videos! 🤘🏼😜

[@schecter7elite801]

@@MadManMusic oh definitely man!! Can't wait to see what you do with it!! 🤘🤘 You should definitely try different boosts and overdrives with it! I'm definitely going to be getting this pedal soon just from listening to your demo. Thanks man!! Keep up the great content!

[@kevinmyles6369]

Using this one and the Mooer Gas Station 001 thru FOH for live gigging and sounds ridiculously great. I do admit it can sound even better with an indiependent cab sim pedal sucha as the Mooer Radar which i'm getting very soon. It will make a lot of difference...but technically that's for live gigging and recording if guitar players don't have any budget anymore at all like myself. used to have all the greatest high end high gain real amps and cabs in the world but those days are over for me..

[@MadManMusic]

I still love me a nice “All Natural” Tube Amp. Pro-Pain I probably wont get away from using one on stage. BUT i really love how great these little portable pedals are sounding these days! Its insane! Lately, I’ve been working on a live set for my project “Aphelion” and my bassist and I are just using “in computer” amp sims!! No pedals, No Amp… nothing. Just plugging direct into the audio interface and pedal to the metal! Its been working great! 🤘🏼😜

[@kevinmyles6369]

@@MadManMusic oh cool. Yeah the laptop onboard app sims are very decent if it works for you without any latency and such.. i'll just keep it at refining my micro pedal rig as i don't have anything else anymore 👍

[@MadManMusic]

Yeah man! There are some really great options lately for amps sim! Its incredible. But i still have a lot of love for the real deal, or at least a cool little compact pedal rig! The options are so satisfying!! Thanks for being here dude! 🤘🏼😜

[@EasyHeat]

Do you run both at the same time, or switching back and forth? Any DSP latency phase running both at the same time? Asking for a middle aged SludgePunk dad. Ha!

[@kevinmyles6369]

@@EasyHeat switching between the two pedals only. Running them same time might be overkill haha cuz too much saturation going. You can try off course but for myself it's gonna be too noisy, too dirty and not tight enough. I just want the two tones available in case i pref one for certain song. Cheers 👍👍

[@davidbricchi]

I did use the mooer with the radar, sound great in the daw.

[@MadManMusic]

As it should! 💪🏼 🤘🏼😜

[@UBizzo]

I'm using 2 of them (only red mode) with a line selector: 011 (Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier) for chords and background riffs and the 015 (Peavey 5150) for solos and main riffs, then they go into the Mooer Baby Bomb (not really super happy about this last one, but is more than ok) 😃 byeee from Italy 😉

[@MadManMusic]

Nice! You're not happy with the Baby Bomb Power Amp?? 🤘🏼😜

[@UBizzo]

I’m happy, but i think a “real” power amp should be better: the final sound is great but there something missing 😅

[@UBizzo]

i mean, i have my amplifier in a laptop size bag 😎 can go everywhere

[@MadManMusic]

@UBizzo Yeah of course… Nothing compares to the real deal! I have a Kemper Power Rack and even it lacks a but if the OOMPH.. but that sound is really only present when you’re standing in front of an amp. What the audience hears is what went through a Mic, then a Mixing Console, then then PA Speakers… so.. they hear what you’re producing now out of your setup. (Basically). In some ways this is more helpful in a live situation than the real thing 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤘🏼😜

[@DugiDevetCarabolium]

If they put just option to load in 1 or 2 cabs from PC this would be unbeatable little smasher....

What would this pedal sound like if all you have is a fender super reverb

[@MadManMusic]

Heavy! You can disable the Cab Simulator (IR) and adjust it to taste! Just be careful with it in front of your amp as opposed to in the FX Loop because the EQ will be really sensitive. I would set your clean tone and then use the EQ on the Pedal to dial in your High Gain Tone! 🤘🏼😜

[@erikrodewald4660]

hahaha damn. I stumbled across this video and can't stop laughing. I'm pretty sure I was the one selling you this dusty pedal (sorry). Still a little sad over giving it away cause it really is a killer pedal. Bought a newer version (without the evh front print) but it kinda not felt the same, so i sold it again 🤣

[@MadManMusic]

I love this little thing! I'm just all about EVH Amps and all the cool/fun devices out there emulating them! 🤘🏼😜

[@EasyHeat]

I've been seriously sleeping on these micro preamps. Currently living the apartment lease dweller lifestyle, which means I've also been mainly riffing within the box with plugins through my DAW and near field monitors. These tiny things sound just too good to pass up IMO. Thinking about nabbing up several to be honest. I'm interested in seeing if it's potentially possible to simultaneously run two of these little monsters via an ABY splitter without too much potential DSP round trip latency phasing issues between them. If so?! That would be rad AF IMO! I've always wanted a convincingly affordable sounding AC30/Dual Rect wet/dry Grohl fanboy rig option without being tethered to a freakin' PC or iOS device. Hell, for the price these are currently going for?! I'd even be 7empted to Pushit with BOSS DD7 drenched emulations of a Deizel VH4/Marshall dual setup without blowing The Pot by spending ænormous $46&2! Ha! See what I just did there ; ) Christ I'm old...(facepalm) Ha! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@MadManMusic]

Haha! I feel ya dude! I think for the price, they’re worth seriously trying. They have their ups and downs though. So keep that in mind. I’m also trying to get my hands on a Mooer GE300. That might be worth you checking out too! 🤘🏼😜

[@EasyHeat]

@@MadManMusic Right on. Thanks for the info man! I'm basically looking for something with enough current spec DSP horsepower to convincingly take OD and Fuzz into a stereo dual preamp signal path into a FOH PA, USB interface, or even direct into the (class a/b) power amps sections of saaay...? Two BOSS Katana 100 MKIIs?! Haha! Or better yet? An Ampeg Micro VR & Orange Super Crush 100! ROTFLMAO!!! I'm basically on a crippled mission to squeeze out some champagne ear riot tones with a beer budget that's "load in with a spinal injury" friendly. Picture the most shamelessly broke down tuned StonerPunk/DooM/Sludgecore "Rigs of Dad" imaginable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yet somehow unsuspectedly awesome! Bwahahaha. I know! I know! "Good luck with that" (downs a shot of tequila) Am I right?! LMAO!! Gen X "sewer head" DooMer 4 Life! \m/

[@MadManMusic]

Haha! I feel you dude! Nothing wrong with trimming down. And working with a “beer budget” as opposed to champagne is important too cuz we’re all broke ass musicians! Thats why I will also favor showing more affordable stuff here than super expensive shit. If you know what you’re doing, you can make ANYTHING sound good. So thats what’s important! Definitely give these things a try and let us know what works for you! 🤘🏼😜

Great demo man! I wanna ask if this pedal has an amp like feel to it? And how does it sound with a ts9 or boss sd1 boosting it

It sounds like that amp! I A-B’d it with an actual EVH 5153 and it was shockingly close. Not exactly the same but really convincing! Just be sure to disable the built in Cab IR. This is important. 🤘🏼😜

Well use an IR if you’re recording with it directly but not if you’re using it in front of a power amp and cab. And hey, Mad Man Music has its own Custom IR, the “Nasty Cab” 😉 Check it out here ➡️ mad-man-music-merch.creator-spring.com But for me the EVH sound is much smoother than Peavey’s.
