Mooer Flex Boost, boost pedal, 2.25 x 4.25 x 1.75"

Product Information

Q: The "Q" knob is quite misleading but it basically just lets you play with how intense you want the wah effect to be. This knob initially led me to believe that the Funky Monkey was a clone of the EHX Qtron pedal. Which is actually pretty plausible come to think of it now, seeing as though the Qtron is also an automatic wah pedal. The difference between these two pedals is that the Boss has a completely different layout. The Mooer Pitch Box has one knob which controls the Pitch. Along with a 3-way toggle switch which does actually maintain some of the same modes as found on the Boss PS-5. Such as Harmony, Pitch Shift, and Detune mode. Whereas the Boss PS-5 has essentially 4 knobs (5 if you want to get technical) which include: Balance knob, Key selection knob, Pitch knob, and a mode selector knob which allows the choice between5 different modes including harmonist, pitch shift, detune, T. Arm and flutter. Mooeris a company that specializes in themanufacturing of musical equipmentbased in the heart of Shenzhen, China.

Mooer Flex Boost Overdrive | Reverb UK

I like the Mooer Grey Faze a lot. I also think it fares well as a clone of the Germanium Fuzz. This pedal has a super simple layout. With only a volume knob and a fuzz knob, much like the Dunlop Germanium fuzz face.. The fuzz knob controls the volume of the fuzz effect. Whilst the Fuzz knob controls how much fuzz you want. I find the fuzz knob to be very responsive on this Mooer pedal, which is something I really like about it. Secondly, The fonts of each of the Mooer pedals match up to the originals. From here it’s quite easy to tell which pedals they’re cloning. I must note that I’ve tried to add video comparisons of each of the pedals and the originals for which they were based off. My hope is that the videos will give more context to my written explanation of these pedals by Mooer. I also aim to review each of these Mooer Mini clone pedals below. How Do We Know These Are Definitely Clone Pedals? I must definitely point out that the Flex Boost has got some grit to it. As soon as you start to turn the gain knob up from zero, you can hear some light and pleasant overdrive. How does it compare to the AC Booster? It comes pretty darn close to the real thing. However, as is the case with a lot of clone pedals, they just miss out on not sounding quite as "organic" as the originals. Still, a great sounding low-gain boost/overdrive pedal. I'd love to be able to get my hands on a Mooer Blue Comp Vs Boss CS-1 comparison. Or even a Blue Comp vs Boss CS-2 comparison. However, I've yet to find any of these. For the meantime, I have added a demo of the Mooer Blue comp so you can get an idea of how it sounds like a compressor pedal. Many have asked about the difference between the two sounds of the "Normal" and "Treble" switch. Essentially, the Normal setting accentuates the sustain more. Whilst the Treble switch accentuates and sustains the top end. Blue Comp vs Yellow CompThe sweeper is without a doubt inspired by and based on the EHX bassballs. However, it is not an identical clone. The EHX features only a "distortion" toggle and a resonance knob. Whilst the Mooer allows you to control the intensity, range, and resonance. So on paper, the Mooer has more features and should be the better choice. The Flex Boost is a wide ranging gain boost that's great when you need to push your amp a little harder to get the best from it. If there color, layout, and font weren't enough of a giveaway, I can surely tell you that the Mooer Hustle Drive is a clone of the OCD overdrive pedal by OCD. In my opinion, the Hustle Drive by Mooer Pedals is not quite as good as the original OCD Pedal, but I'll get into that a little further down.

Flex Boost_MOOER Audio

The actual OCD sounds more like a real tube amp to me. It also sounds more alive when compared to the Hustle Drive. The OCD is also a bit more bright whilst the Hustle Drive seems to compress more. And thus, sounds slightly darker. Furthermore, the OCD seems to have a lot more headroom and dynamic in sound as well as the way it responds. I go really in-depth on my OCD pedal comparison here. Do you need this pedal? This is an exceptionally hard Mooer pedal to review. Due to the fact that, in my opinion, does not serve much of a purpose on the average pedal board. This is not an essential effect. Unless of course, you've written a song/part with this pedal. Or, you're trying to recreate a particular sound that this pedal can produce. Other than those two reasons, it is quite hard to recommend this pedal for any specific need. Unless of course, you need a guitar pedal for super Mario sound. Mooer's bass graphic equalizer pedal. This is based on the Boss GEB-7, the bass version of Boss's famous graphic eq pedal. However, this is the bass version therefore both the Mooer graphic B as well as the Boss GEB-7 have a different frequency range to that of a regular guitar eq pedal.Boss DM-2 is definitely one of the most classic Boss guitar effects pedals from the early days of the compact stomp boxes. This Boss DM-2 is still an exceptionally sought after pedal. Especially due to the fact that Boss stopped making them for a very long time. It is only now in recent times that they’ve reissued these. Before then, it was hard to get your hands on this epic analog delay. That was until Mooer created this great clone. The Ana Echo analog delay is the Mooer mini version of the DM-2 by Boss. These are both analog delays with. However, I’d say that the Boss DM-2 sounds more natural to my ear. There’s also a certain organic decay that the Boss has which the Mooer doesn’t. This is such a minor detail that most people won’t ever notice.

Mooer Mini Drives, Fuzzes A Quick Overview on the Best of the Mooer Mini Drives, Fuzzes

The sound of the Xotic is imitated from clean boost to overdrive (while still remaining light enough).Mix: Allows you to blend the wet & dry signal. I.e. how much of the effect you want to come through in conjunction with your regular dry signal There's an obvious disparity in the way each of these bass eq pedals was designed. However, one cool feature about both of these pedals is that they have a level adjustment. This enables you to add a volume boost to your eq, or you can just use it as a clean volume boost. Mooer’s clone pedals are all very close to the originals they’re cloned after. However, in my opinion, this Mooer Blues Crab is by far the closest sounding pedal to the original that I’ve come across yet. Seriously, It was only until someone pointed out that the Original Blues Breaker is a bit more smooth sounding when compared to the Blues Crab that I noticed this difference. However, this is only barely noticeable and I’ve actually become fonder of the Blues Crab than the original Marshall Blues Breaker. This is such an incredibly good pedal and great value for money. Mooer Blues Crab vs Blue Mood This list, as I have already mentioned, features two clones of Xotic effects Booster pedals. First being the flex boost and second is this one. The Pure Boost. The Xotic pedals are known to be pretty expensive. So if you are after that pedal on a budget. Then, the Mooer Audio is a great option for you. This pedal is a clean boost first and foremost. Whilst this is a transparent pedal, there are volume, bass, treble and gain controls which allow you to expand the sound that this pedal produces.
