About this deal

There are a total of six controls on the Lo-Fi Vexter, each performing a vital role. The Volume control is self-explanatory, affecting the level of the effect in your mix. The Tone control alters the brightness of the selected effect, but it doesn’t impact the compressed signal. The Comp/Lo-Fi parameter uniquely adjusts the compressor or leans the output towards the vibrato effect, thus softening it. Speed is used to adjust the rate of the vibrato but again doesn’t impact the compressed signal. Depth affects the nature of the vibrato, and Waveform changes the characteristics of the modulation.

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 Level control is useful for keeping tabs on the dynamic output of the pedal, and ensuring that it interacts well with any other effects pedals that make up your guitar rig. With singular inputs and outputs that are solidly built, this Ibanez pedal performs reliably.

There are a few pedals on the Mooer clone list that are not clones of other pedals. The LoFi Machine happens to be one of these Mooer pedals. If you're wanting a guitar pedal that can achieve the Super Mario theme song sound (and more), then this LoFi Machine is definitely for you. 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 The Depth control is similar to the Level control, but instead of affecting the volume of the chorus pedal, it affects how intensely the warble effect occurs. The more this parameter is turned up, the more prominent the chorus will become in your mix, and vice versa. Chorus is most commonly used on electric guitar, but combining it with bass can also produce some interesting results. Although the chorus interacts most noticeably with higher frequencies, when it is applied to bass, it slightly detunes the higher notes, resulting in a more expressive tone.

Chorus is arguably the least intense of these three popular modulation effects. Although it works in the same way, the difference is caused by the use of pitch-shifting and detuning, which gives the chorus pedals their distinctive, slightly “off” tone. Commonly Found Controls on a Chorus PedalWho is this best suited for: Waza Craft pays serious attention to detail when constructing Boss pedals, so if you enjoy discovering hidden gems of functionality within pedals, the DC-2W is a worthy choice. Whether you love the vintage 80s style chorus or prefer more modern varieties, this pedal can do both. 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. So what is the Mooer Flex Boost? Well, it's one of the closest sounding clone pedals of the AC booster by Xotic effects that I've come by. Whilst the Mooer Flex Boost and the AC Booster have the word "boost" in their name, it is actually important to note that both of these pedals are in fact overdrive pedals.

So how am I sure this is not a clone? There are two massive dead giveaways that tell me this isn't a Boss clone. Firstly, the frequencies are completely different from the Boss. Secondly, the Mooer is a 5 band EQ whilst the Boss is a 7 band eq. Here is a closer look at the difference in frequencies between Graphic B and the GEB-7: You might have noticed that some of the chorus pedals reviewed in this article have two outputs. The reason for this is that it gives a guitarist the option of splitting their signal and sending separate outputs to a pair of amplifiers. With a unique design that is brimming with character, the D-5 FAB Chorus pedal houses a plethora of rich analog chorus sounds, with plenty of room for maneuver. Switch between conventional, grunge-style chorus that brings your riffs and melodies to life and wild-sounding modulation that makes your guitar sound completely detuned (in a good way!). There's no real scenario where one can justify the price of the Woolly Mammoth when the Mooer Fog does literally exactly the same thing. However, even though the Mooer fog is definitely more affordable, it's hard for me to find a need (besides for if I were the bass player in a Muse cover band) to buy or make use of this pedal. It's worth pointing out that the Zvex has a built-in gate which can be engaged by playing with the "pinch" knob. I'm almost certain the Mooer doesn't have this gate function although I could be very very wrong. Chorus pedals are essential for classic pop, indie, and alternative sounds. But with a plethora of different options on the market, many players feel bewildered and, ultimately, don’t end up using chorus in their boards. The Mooer Ensemble King is a new mini pedal that boasts instant vintage chorus tone without eating up pedalboard real estate – or your wallet. Let’s break this pedal down and find out what makes it one of the best chorus pedals available. FeaturesIn my personal experience, these Mooer clone pedals were some of the first mini pedals I came across. And they were some of the first mini pedals that were made available at prices that most guitarists can afford. Whilst the Mooer clones might not have been the very first mini pedals to come out, they surely played a massive role in popularising mini guitar effects pedals. I must note that I've tried to add video comparisons of each of the Mooer clone list 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? If you decide to use your chorus pedal for recording purposes, you have two options. Firstly, you could simply send the output of the pedal directly into your audio interface, and then send your guitar into the pedal’s input. This method ensures that the chorus interacts with your instrument in the cleanest possible way, with very little color or alteration occurring. It also gives you more flexibility when it comes to mixing your recording. Tube Screamer clone pedals are a dime a dozen nowadays. In fact, the market is completely flooded with Tub screamer type clones. In my opinion, however, very few pedal manufacturers have managed to nail the TS clone down at an affordable price. Mooer pedals along with Joyo pedals make two of the best tube screamer clones out there. Whilst the Joyo clones the TS808, this Mooer Green Mile clones the just as legendary and famous, TS-9. Explaining this 3-way toggle switch, and this auto wah pedal, in general, is very tough. As describing an auto-wah is immensely difficult to put into words. However, the video below should give you more than a sufficient look at this pedal as well as the tones you can achieve from it. Mooer Funky Monkey For Bass? Two major red flags stand out to me in an instant when determining whether or not this is, in fact, a clone. Red flag number 1 is that the Max GE-601 is a 6 band eq. Whilst, the Mooer Graphic G is very clearly a 5 band eq. Red flag number two can be found when comparing the frequencies of each of the two pedals. The maxon has different frequencies to the Mooer. Here are the differences in frequencies between the Mooer and the Maxon:
