Mooer Hustle Drive, drive micro pedal

Product Information

The Mini Tube Screamer is very close to the full size TS9 tone, although I readily agree that the best overall sounding Tube Screamer is the 808 variety in either its regular format or extended Deluxe / DX version. The One Control Persian Green sort of gives you the best of both worlds here. We must not forget either that Maxon developed the Tube Screamer (808) sound for Ibanez before those two companies went their separate way.

Mooer Hustle Drive Pedal [2023 Review] - Sweetheart Flute Mooer Hustle Drive Pedal [2023 Review] - Sweetheart Flute

Small but perfectly formed, this diminutive and affordable pedal is allegedly a direct clone of the OCD. Since this pedal is an extra small one, you might have a hard time placing it on your pedal board as your other pedals might need frequent adjustment. The other point is, if you will be adjusting the settings on the knobs frequently, that will mean that you are going to need to come close to the pedal every time. HP High peak mode, boosts the bottom end and delivers more volume with a slight increase in upper mids

For instance, the fairly recent Strymon Riverside pedal has a mix of analogue and digital processing through four cascading gain stages - starting with analogue JFET transistors before progressing through several stages of digital processing. The strength of this pedal is that you get a high degree of clarity / tightness right along the scale of distortion. However, this means you don’t get the the really gritty / noisy distortion textures that typify certain heavier styles of music. The Fulltone OCD pedal by contrast has a fantastic fuzzy / dirty analogue texture which the Strymon Riverside cannot really fully replicate as its core configuration always leans somewhat towards clarity and audible separation of individual notes. You could say that the pedal is just a tiny touch too clean in some senses.

All of this needs to be taken with a certain pinch of salt, as readers / listeners / players will have likely different ’ears’, different preferences and thus come to quite diverse conclusions. I have tried to reference most of the best known overdrive and distortion pedal types / core sounds, but there will be various degrees of overlap, as well as some pedals which don’t sit entirely comfortably within select categories. The below list goes from the lightest touch of boost-like gain to extreme distortion, from unique, singular sounding pedals to highly versatile distortion workstations as such. At a scenic beef with another group, I found myself jamming with that little thing at the end of the foot. Normally, I used a Ice9 VOX. Well even with the boost of 10 Db of the latter, I could not get out as much harmonic gas ...

The HP/LP switch isn’t a high-pass, low-pass selector as the abbreviations imply, but instead selects between different frequencies to use at the shelving frequency for the Tone control. As is ever the case, this is a balancing act between analogue and digital, passive and active circuits, hand-wired and PCB, and tubes versus electronics in some instances. Overdrives and distortions make use of very specific component transistors (silicon vs germanium, jfet vs mosfet etc.), capacitors, diodes and op amps / core processors / chips - each of which gives you a particular nuance, timbre and texture.

User reviews: Mooer Hustle Drive - Audiofanzine

This pedal at hand has two operating modes: HP and LP, both of which have a wide variety of highly accessible tones. You can switch between those with a switch easily. Overall, it is really easy to use Mooer Hustle Drive and comes with lots of features jammed in a small box. Conclusion: Mooer Hustle Drive Pedal [2023 Review] The clipping waveform distortion on the OCD is delivered by two 2N7000 transistors after the first stage, with the Drive control determining how much the signal is amplified before it hits this point. Boost can be used in a variety of ways - often wholly transparent simply volume boost by a few decibels (up to +20 or more), but there are various flavours here - you can boost treble, mids or lows, or even add just the tiniest touch of gain. Many boosters by default colour the signal a little - adding a little touch of warmth and/or compression. I have my Xotic EP Booster on permanently to add a little warmth and extra dynamism and headroom into the signal path. I use the Strymon Riverside for my actual lightest level ’Boost’ gain stage - the lightest of barely there gains with just a little added colour via the tone controls. The world’s most famous green pedal, which boosts the midrange frequencies to give you that satisfying guitar squeal or ’Tube Scream’ as it’s now most commonly known. This pedal is heavily replicated in all manner of varieties, the Ibanez Mini Tube Screamer is perfectly acceptable with its TS9 tones, although not too high output, one better in many ways is the Keeley Red Dirt Mini which came out of all the Keeley Tube Screamer Mods - here with 4 different dip-switch modes. Best for me though is the One Control Persian Green Screamer which has a switch for TS808 Vintage Mode, as well as TS9 modern.

These are all the same size, and all have relatively low current draw, although because of their digital nature, many of these are better served by isolated power-supply rather than relying on a OneSpot daisy-chain as I have frequently found out. Because the Mooer Hustle Drive pedal is too small to hold a 9V battery, it must be powered by a 9V power supply. This takeaway from the portability and mobility of the product but the small size makes up for it. Pedals can be upgraded via modding - swapping out cheaper components for higher quality ones. This can often yield amazing results, but often the smaller form factor has inherent restrictions in what components can be used, laid-out and best optimised.

Plus: good surprise but views were good and for the price I was not taking a big risk. Quality very correct manufacturing of made in china. Versatility of the pedal. It goes from blues british sound just by mounting the volume on the guitar. 2 modes (hp and lp) are effective and offer a real workable sound. The LP sends you live in England, the LP will pull acute tearing eardrums providing more subtlety. For my part I stayed in this mode there. with too much fat or too much sugar, you'll be glad to learn that we made them ourselves with fresh, organic and fair ingredients, By all accounts the Mooer Hustle Drive is a reasonably copy, but here I side with the original OCD, currently in its 7th iteration (V 1.7). I also find that the One Control Lingonberry OverDrive is reasonably close, but with a slightly cleaner tone.Even though it is a tiny one, you will be amazed at the flexibility of this pedal. It really is a piece of feature-rich equipment that you can make the most of. SMALL - Ibanez Super Metal Mini, Joyo Bullet Metal, Joyo Metal Head, Mooer Blade Metal, Stagg Blaxx Metal, Xvive Metal
