Mooer Cruncher, high gain distortion micro pedal, Red,2.25 x 4.25 x 1.75"

Product Information

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. This is one of my favorite pedals in this range. It is the Rumble drive and apparently, is based on the famous and expensive “Zen Drive” pedal. However, I have my reservations about that. Having said that, the Rumble is a very responsive and dynamic pedal. What this means is that it reacts to the way in which you play., So if you play harder, it will respond differently to if you were to play softer. Ruble Drive Clone vs Zendrive I don’t think that it is any secret that the Mooer pedals are, for the most part, clones of other popular and/or discontinued pedals. Like I’ve mentioned, Mooer has since begun making their own original pedals. But it was these mini clone pedals that have made Mooer so well known. And, giving them the platform to eventually start creating and producing their own pedals. But, if you’d like confirmation that these are definitely clone pedals, we don’t have to look too far to actually recognize which pedals these are clones of. let’s look at two giveaway factors right off the bat:

The colors are also pretty darn similar. Thus, further confirming confirmation that this is a clone. The video down below this is a fantastic demonstration of the Mooer Ana Echo Vs Boss Dm-2. Listen carefully as it can be quite hard to distinguish between the two pedals. As I’ve already said above, I do tend to find that the Boss has a more “analog” sound if that makes sense. There’s honestly just something about the decaying notes that the Boss DM-2 produces which the Mooer Ana Echo misses out on slightly. Completely unnoticeable in a gig or live band setting. The Boss AW-2 gives you four knobs to play with. Each knob has a wide spectrum of tonal capabilities. The knobs on the Boss include; rate, depth, manual (lo to hi-pass filter) and sensitivity. The Mooer Funky Monkey, on the other hand, is a bit different. This Mooer pedal gives you three knobs as well as a 3-way toggle switch. Making this pedal exceptionally versatile for an Auto-Wah. The three knobs on the Funky Monkey include:

Hornet 30 Black

The Eleclady makes for a great clone of this awesome EHX pedal. However, there are definitely some slight tonal differences between these two pedals. You’ll find the Mooer Eleclady to give you more top end. Whilst, the Electric Mistress is definitely mellower and more “organic” sounding in terms of the analog flanger. One huge and obvious difference between the two is the size difference. The original EHX electric Mistress is absolutely massive and I’d consider it not pedalboard-friendly at all. The Mooer, on the other hand, is perfect for the pedalboard. Having said that, Electro-Harmonix does make a newer, and smaller version of the classic Electric Mistress. The Demeter Tremulator is an expensive pedal. Having said that, it sounds great and is a truly unique effect. It is also quite a hard pedal to come by. So for that reason, it is wonderful that Mooer Audio has recreated this type of optical tremolo pedal based as a clone of the Demeter Tremulator. In this Mooer range of mini clone pedals, there are two Fuzz pedals. This Blue Faze is a clone of the classic Arbiter Silicon Fuzz Face (Now made by Dunlop). Not to be confused with the other Fuzz pedal on this Mooer clone list, the Grey Fuzz. The Blue Faze is based on the Silicon Fuzz Face and makes use of the BC108C silicon transistor. Which, is the vintage type of transistor that would have been found in the original Fuzz Face pedals. When it comes to fuzz and distortion in general, this silicon fuzz face was one of the first to ever be created. This silicon fuzz face is what basically started the guitar pedal, as the stompboxes we know them today. The world’s greatest electric guitar player, Jimi Hendrix used a silicon Fuzz Face. And, if achieving a similar tone to Jimi is what you’re after, I suggest starting with one of these. Now, the Silicon Fuzz face is still available on the market today. Despite having gone through different companies, Dunlop now makes these in pretty much the same fashion as the old ones. They can, however, become quite costly. But, the Mooer Blue Faze is a particularly good clone for a budget pedal. 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, it 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.

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. In 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 Comp 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. I must be honest, flanger was never one of my favorite effects out there. However, that was until I discovered the EHX Electric Mistress and later on, the Mooer Eleclady. I also realized that I had only ever tried digital flanger effects which I hated. Whilst these flangers are both analogs. I always thought flanger was an effect strictly for heavy metal use. However, it was it was only until I started exploring effects pedals, as well as watching an episode of "That Pedal Show". Which, opened up my eyes to the world of flanger, and the EHX Electric Mistress in particular.The Mooer Eleclady is a clone of the Electric Mistress by Electro-Harmonix. And, it manages to clone this legendary flanger in a fraction of the size of the original. The Mooer Eleclady, with its small and sleek design, offers three knobs as well as a 2-way toggle switch. The knobs include: If you’re wondering how this matches up to the Blue Faze which is another similar fuzz. I’ll explain..the Blue faze vs the Grey faze is pretty simple. Both are pedals based on the same Fuzz face circuit. However, the Blue Faze uses silicon transistors whilst the Grey faze uses germanium transistors. This results in a different tone from the either pedal. The Blue Faze is a lot brasher an in your face. Whilst the grey faze is warmer and smoother overall. Also, the grey faze can, at times, sound like overdrive. The Mooer Fog is actually a bass pedal. But it can definitely be used on the guitar, too. Apparently, this Mooer pedal is a clone of the Zvex Woolly Mammoth (also a bass pedal). The pedal Features 4 knobs which include; tone, volume, fuzz, and squeeze. The “Squeeze” parameter is where you can craft your own fuzz sound and can be related to the “pinch” knob on the actual Zvex Woolly Mammoth. The Sound Of The Fog Fuzz Mooer Pedal? Rate: as the name would suggest, controls the rate of the wah. Turn to the right and the sweet speed is increased. The blue comp is a more complex pedal than the yellow one. The blue comp has an extra two-way toggle switch which allows for more tweaking of your sound. I talk about what the toggle does above. The Yellow one, on the other hand, is a simple three-knob comp pedal and in my opinion, delivers one of the best sounds from any cheap comp pedal I've ever tried. If you're not sure which one is for you, my advice would be to go for the yellow comp.
