This Is The Effects Pedal THAT I WISH I MADE - Mosky Audio DC5

Recently I had the crazy idea of designing an effects pedal myself... problem was... someone already made it! The Mosky Audio (not sponsored) DC5 combines Distortion, Overdrive, Chorus, Delay, and Boost effects, all into one very affordable stomp box style pedal! At under $50, this is an incredible value and sounds fantastic!
Here's a link for the pedal: amzn.to/3G33X01

I just bought it today and believe me, i am amazed: it is really 5 analog pedals in one! Plus it is quite easy to use and get great tones!

[@matthewotremba9230]

Youngsters are quite fortunate these days The prices of usable gear and devices are great And your excellent videos showcasing such Are priceless Rock On

Ahh the ultimate warrior and macho man randy savage..cant get more 80s than that!

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

Oooooooohhhh yyyyyeeaaa

[@jmartincg]

i bought this one 1 year ago, i just love it and still using it.

[@scotthoward6265]

Surprisingly nice growl from that pedal; Mosky seems determined to make quality gear for the budget minded guitarist; great demo!

[@oscaralexander6594]

Tip, with the oveedrive off , turn the boost to 12 oclock and you get a clean/overdrive, excelent for blues

[@finaljesus]

max i love the distortion and overdrive section of it the delay is awesome the chorus is ok but it’s really not bad good pedal i am goin to buy it to check it out for myself thank you for the review

[@hotcakesman]

Maxwell, I love your channel and have no clue why your channel is not bigger. Keep up the great work! You rock!

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Thank you!

[@marcanglin7127]

Love your demos, Max, and all of the affordable and quirky brands that you have on your channel. I would have loved to have heard, say, the chorus and delay alone with a cleaner sound, but for less than $50, I guess I can find out for myself !!!

[@GAdamBarrett]

As always, Well done Max!!

[@thedudeleeman]

Awesome! Nice find, I'll have to check it out in the future

[@overthehillcheapgearnoodle9990]

Thanks for the video. I've seen this Brando around for awhile. Looks like a great deal with great tone. Have a great day.

[@SunaKhei93]

I have been eyeing this pedal for a while now. I'll get one real soon. EDIT: Finally managed to get one of this. Maaaan! This thing breathes fire! I love the Distortion + Overdrive combo on this pedal, giving me great chugs and lead tones, plus the Delay to give my licks great feel. For its size and price this is really a bang for the buck!

[@GaryKatz]

Another great one, Max. Amazon ran out, but eBay had lots of sellers. Ordered 1 for 48 bucks with free shipping. Psyched about this affordable raid into pedal-controled territory. Semper Fi.

[@KOLDBLU3ST33L]

Excellent vid bud. Really helping me figure out what effects to start with. 😎🤘

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Glad to help!

[@jldsooner]

Enjoyed the review. Just bought one as a backup to my Helix floor unit that I could use in a pinch.. I use the ADA cab sim.

[@johnn__watkins9905]

youre playing is really coming along man, sounding pretty good these days

[@CrushingAxes]

Nice wrestlemania shirt! Those tappings are great dude!

[@ciddax754]

Man ... they should include a neon spandex and one of these great hair metal wigs. But for that kind of money, I guess that would be asking too much. This thing sounds killer and it replicates that 80ty metal sound so damn well. I'm deeply impressed!

[@anywherenearzero]

Very new to guitar and think one of these is a must especially for the price point. Great video and you have a new subscriber 😊

[@tunemeister99]

Awesome cost and performance! I am sold to this box! Great review!

[@HigzyTeflon]

Being that I am a complete nerd for nostalgia -- I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE T-SHIRT!

[@Metro_Gnome]

And once again, I'm hearing a master of guitar play through some gear Ido t have yet, and now I want one. I know I won't sound like Maxwell if I get one, but that is the true NGD dreamers' dream.

[@ubmastering]

Ultimate Warrior had some of the most hype intros.

[@ssh7778]

I think I might have to get one of these, I have a pocket pod but like things more simple and straightforward to use. I mainly want distortion and delay

[@dare2win215]

[@hyramjackson]

Man! that is the perfect pedal for me :o gotta check it out, thanks for the video

Distortion + overdrive + chorus + delay = bark at the moon guitar melody.

[@JamesAllenJr]

Very nice sounds!

[@pekkatorronen9201]

I have the blue one with overdrive, boost, delay, and reverb. Btw it's awesome!

[@FretLevelMidnight]

Seems to be a lot of pedals similar to this coming out from several Far East manufacturers, some identical, some with slight variances. My favorite is the Getaria, AKA Cuvave Cube Baby, I got mine for under 45 USD off Amazon shipped to my door. I actually like the Getaria better than the pedal you're presenting for a few reasons: 1) Getaria charges by way of Micro USB, so it holds a charge and does not need outside power while using 2) It has many Amp Sims with a gain control and Cab IR's, so it's crazy versatile, and you can replace the onboard ones with your own 3) It has onboard distortion, delay, reverb, and chorus with Mix, Feedback and Time knobs, 4) Bluetooth onboard ,5) Tuner onboard, 6) A recording out, 7) Cheaper. That's just a steal, and it sounds really good as well, I use it on my fly rig.

[@NeoRichardBlake]

Max, this sounds like a cool one to check out too! I noticed there's another branded as iSet as well. Looks like they're all the same with just some different lettering on the case.

[@paolo-1283]

[@DeakonLekross]

Holy cow what a great pedal and it's only $50??!! I was expecting like $200 What a great find man! Awesome vid! I may have to pick one up myself

[@lostreb]

I checked the link so I must be late to the party because Amazon says "Currently Unavailable." I'm thinking Max's subscribers bought out everything they had in stock!!! Great Job Max!!!!

[@GaryKatz]

EBay has them for about 48 bucks with free shipping. Some Reverber Scalpers exploited the assumed "shortage" and listed the pedal for 70...80....100...125.... Predatory opportunists. Just sayin'

[@lostreb]

@@GaryKatz Great Comment!!! Thank you for sharing the input. It definitely gives insight into...And I totally agree with your label of...Predatory Opportunists!!!!! Good Job!!!

[@lostreb]

@@GaryKatz An addition...E-Bay's lowest price as of right now is $ 60 and it says limited quantities available. Max has a great input on the Supply / Demand of products he reviews. To me that shows how much value his subscribers place on his evaluations of every piece of equipment he reviews!!!

[@GaryKatz]

@@lostreb Agreed. Max has proven himself to be an authoritative, legitimate primary source of credible information. Artistry and solid 'scientific method' objectivity are impressive, and extremely helpful. Also, being a gifted musician allows us to test the reality of what is possible with a myriad of guitars and effects samples. Makes his depth of knowledge accessible to all of us.

Just bought with an additional $14 discount on Amazon, thanks for the video. Great heads up on cool affordable box.

[@Newnodrogbob]

Me too! I don’t even need this, but for under $40? Why not?

[@Newnodrogbob]

Hey Dave, what do you think of yours? I can’t get it to work at all through my effects loop, or straight into a mixer. Works fine into the front of an amp, but it’s noisy…

[@daveesco1]

@@Newnodrogbob never tried in the effects loop. i have it connected into an older fender champ with no effects loop and it sound pretty good, and yes at higher gain it is a tad noisy. im playing a mild overdrive so noise is not an issue. I think its worth the price. ive got overdrive and reverb at that cost its a win.

[@Newnodrogbob]

@@daveesco1 fair enough. Thanks for the info

[@acidbran]

Finger is hovering over place order but still watching demo.......and bought !

[@damonwolf7222]

Nice, man. Mooer Red Truck and Tech 21 Fly Rig are also extremely similar. Myself personally, I would have preferred a good Reverb over the Delay (or both would be optimal, obviously). But hey, to each their own! 🤘

[@damonwolf7222]

Wait, what?!? Did you say $50?!? That's only like 1/4th or 1/5th the price of the two I mentioned!!! Wow!!! 😲

[@johnberry9913]

I would tuck this into my backpack for flight gigs.

[@Rocktalk101]

I have the donner alpha cruncher pedal comes with chorus, delay, and distortion and sounds amazing. this one you are playing sounds great as well the donner only runs $39.99 so a little less but the same concept.

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Very nice!

[@Rocktalk101]

@@GuitarMAXMusic have you ever checked out the donner alpha cruncher? if not then you should I did a review of it on my channel but you have a way bigger channel then mine is. it is a great multi effects pedal. I actually saved tthis one you just reviewed in my amazon cart as well going to pick one up and check it out for myself as well as I love these little set ups like this.

[@DaisyHollowBooks]

Nice. I’d love to see what this is like with a less than $200 guitar.

[@davegoodwin1848]

This pedal is a LOT like my Donner Alpha Force...seems to have a little less gain though. Btw...for those looking for an inexpensive but absolutely AMAZING Marshall Plexi or JCM800 sound in an inexpensive pedal check out the Caline English Man. I love it.

[@Inspector-71]

I have the black Dolamo distortion pedal and it's a clone of the Englishman, I use it for lower gain Plexi tone with my strat, sounds killer

[@igorrogi4368]

Although it's bad that it's not possible to use it as overdrive / distortion in front of amp and then connect by separate cable to effects loop for modulation.

[@jefferyfowler7860]

Sounds like the right pedal for me. Great price.

[@jamiebriggs8277]

Not something I have a use for now, but at that price, as a beginner or someone who wants a super small rig? Awesome.

[@Newnodrogbob]

I literally bought one thinking it will be something cool to give away. I teach high school math, but I play guitar sometimes at school, so kids are always talking to me about guitar. I tend to collect cheap gear to loan out or straight up give to kids who need it…

[@Peasmouldia]

I have five of those rinky-dink Chinese £20 pedals on a board (usual suspects). This would be so much neater if nothing else. At this price, I'll get one just to try it. Ta Max.

[@briannelms158]

Seems like a lot of pedal for he money! Sounds great!👍👍

[@daveydohrman2241]

Intro had the bark at the moon thing goin on

[@losojams4626]

Cool Vid Man

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

Delay sounded great. Not sure but Distortion left something tbd. But great vid as always!!

[@unlockmobility]

How do you like that compared to the Donner & Sansamp pedals which are similar?

[@TheLinkszal75]

Mosky makes a few versions of that 3 button multi effects pedals, I almost got one but then the valeton dapper amp mini went on sale and I got that instead, maybe check those out too

[@Falasi4]

That is awesome and especially for the $ it seems even better! If I didn't already have a stupidly complex much more expensive tube pedal board that I finally learned how to use, I'd get one of these. I have something very similar for bass (Sonic cake BOOM) and love the great sound and simplicity.

[@KenMkickashmods]

Great price and awesome pedal, only thing missing is reverb, but chorus can be used to emulate some reverb tones kinda..LOL..but for the money its a no brainer.

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

reverb, delay its all the same

[@vincerusso5619]

Very useable overdrive, delay and boost… but the chorus leaves a lot to be desired.. it breaks up a bit, regardless of how light you play. This unit definitely sounds warmer when plugged directly into an amp’s effects loop, but I would suggest using an EQ pedal between the Mosky and your amp’s loop. You may also need to use a volume pedal, since the efx loop return has no volume control.. it’s your amp’s output at full volume.

[@XxDavidxXPantera]

would it be possible to throw this thing in your amps FX loop if you don't plan on using the distortion/overdrive?

[@omarzavala7814]

Next purchase

[@carlhunt1113]

I met the Ultimate Worrier he was an interesting dude.

[@marktodd6187]

With the chorus on this thing gave me Quiet Riot vibes!

[@mikodongman362]

Hi, how would this hold up comapred to the other variant, Mosky solo918?

[@Vander_berg]

Could you plug your guitar into your amp and then from your amp effects loop send and return through the input and output on the DC5?

[@nickyd9361]

I'd prefer one with an individual output for the chorus & delay to run them through an fx loop. (Tube amp user who likes his preamp section)

[@ChrisCook813]

Take a look at the Nux Cerberus.

[@nickyd9361]

@@ChrisCook813 Just took a look at it, might just give it at try. Was about to whine about using analog distortion, but, heh...

[@garymcaleer6112]

Excellent, GM. Being a typical starving musician I bought ammoon's all in one box @ $99. Reverb and Phase control is sweet. Being old now I go for clean. Sorry, bro, Zeppelin doesn't carry it for me anymore. My ears need caressing. Being a violinist my whole life, I've had it with sawtooth waves. 40 feet away the sound is soft. Point blank?

Guys, if you can help, I would also appreciate it. Max, thank you for this awesome - perfect video. Helped me a lot to decide. But there is one thing I would like to ask. If you can reply, I would really appreciated. I have a pedal board. Starts with compressor - than pre/amp(s) - than overdrive pedals - than effect pedals and at the end, EQ. Where should i place this pedal. Should I place it like it is a pre-amp, at the beginning of the chain? Thank you again

[@BernsteinZK]

Try the Cuvave Cube baby!

[@idanirrd3838]

I have this pedal but when i use and when i use distortion and overdrive, it sounds really different from this video. i plug the pedal to my amp so can anyone explain it to me?

Ou yea wwf. Last warrior🤘

I am tempted to buy one but the lack of a send/return FX-loop to allow the insertion of other modulation pedals in the middle is stopping me to press the button. I found it a flaw in the project.

Great review. I've got the RD5 by them which is OD/Boost/Delay/Reverb and it's killer. I would like it to have a footswitch for the boost instead of a toggle, but for $50 hard to complain. Silver Horse is great, too. Also, would like to check out their Tone Bus pedal.
