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

Product Information

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 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 Comp

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 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.For the most part, digital pedals are pretty impossible to clone. I mean, they've been programmed in a specific way etc. This may not be true for all the digital clones, but, saying for example that the Shimverb is a Strymon clone would be highly inaccurate. However, most of the digital pedals definitely take some inspiration from the originals pedals that they're aiming to clone. The rest of the analog pedals are pretty easy to clone and we can pretty much confirm their purpose. Mooer Acoustikar Review: Acoustic Guitar Simulator Effects Pedal A company called DemonFX have been making quite a few clones recently. They've got the Revv G3, a few Darkglass pedals, Friedman BEOD, Origin Cali76 several KoT pedals and others. We've not included them on this list because to us they're closer to counterfeits than clones since they keep the branding almost identical. You May Also Like For many players this is a question of cost - i.e. getting their hands on more affordable pedals, while for me it’s always about quality and relative standing within that enclosure-size category - i.e. does that pedal warrant its place on your board. All of those are truly great minis and stand up well against pretty much everything at this size, even against larger enclosure types. There are a few pedals on the 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.

Looking to get extreme with your tone? Like death metal extreme. Then this Rage Machine distortion pedal will definitely do the job for you. Despite the tiny size, this pedal produces one of the largest sounds out of all the pedals in this range. The pedal features four separate controls. The level knob controls the volume. The Low and High knobs control their respective bass and treble EQ. And finally, the “rage” knob refers to the distortion control. Rage Machine Clone Vs Digitech Death MetalBoss DM-2 is definitely one of the most classic Boss guitar effects pedal from the early days of the compact stompboxes.

Those next 5 are pretty decent but have some serious competition, while the remaining 5 need some further tweaking / re-aligment as far as I'm concerned to make them work properly for me. So in short - 5 stellar, 5 pretty decent, and 5 mostly OK! This is a great pedal that I can’t say enough about. The only issue I have is with the polyphonic notes. So when strumming chords don’t always produce the best sound as a POG would. Having said that, it is great and I love this pedal.

Furthermore, the 3-way toggle switch will set the tonal quality of the wah. These 3 on the Mooer Funky Monkey includes: 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 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.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 The Mooer Fog along with the Woolly Mammoth is like no other fuzz tones I have heard. A lot say you can get them to sound like Big Muff pedals. But I disagree. The Mooer Fog delivers a synth-like type of fuzz. Also, the words "snarly" as well as, "nasally" come to mind when I hear these pedals. At times, the sound tends to remind me of bit-crusher sounds.I know that there are many bass guitar players out there that swear by both the Mooer Fog as well as the Zvex Woolly Mammoth. I must be 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. I am so glad that Mooer has released a pedal that is a clone of the original Marshall Blues Breaker pedal. I mean, Marshall does have a newer V2 of the Blues breaker but it is not quite like the original. To my ears, I'd say that the Mooer Blues Crab is even closer to the sound of the Vintage Marshall Blues Breaker pedals than that of the actual Marshall BB-2. Finding that original blues breaker tone was difficult until Mooer released the Blues crab. Much like the Blues Driver by Boss, the Blues Mood can be used as either a boost pedal by adjusting the gain knob to zero and boosting the volume knob. Or, can be used to achieve the overdriven tube amp sound. This can be achieved by playing around with the gain knob. Both the Blues Mood and the Boss BD-2 make for pretty versatile drive/boost pedals. Especially with the fat switch option. The "Fat Switch" (Inspired by theKeeley Mod)

Sources for the info is our own knowledge, contributions from readers of this article (thanks!), and straight up awkwardly asking the manufacturer who they're cloning. The Silicon Fuzz Faces are known for being a rather wild and in your face fuzz tone. I like to describe it as a brash fuzz, but I the word “brash” in a positive way. What I mean by this is that when you engage the pedal, you’ll definitely stand out. Which is something I love about the sound of these. They’re full-blown fuzz in the true sense of the word. I much prefer the silicon fuzz sound to that of the germanium fuzz pedals. Mooer Blue Faze Vs. Dunlop Silicon Fuzz Face 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: You could perhaps use this on bass however I would not recommend doing so before doing more research on the topic. In my opinion, I’d recommend going for the SWEEPER pedal, also on this clone list. If you're wondering if the Mooer Blade distortion is really a clone of the massive EHX Metal Muff. you can be at ease knowing that it is indeed a clone of this very pedal. In my opinion, it is nothing short of genius how Mooer managed to turn such a large pedal into such a mini clone. There does, however, seem to be a fair bit of debate surrounding the fact that the Mooer Blade could be a Boss Metal Zone. The consensus does seem to learn more towards the Mooer Blade being an Electro-Harmonix clone. For the sake of this Mooer clone list, and due to the fact that my knowledge and experience of metal pedals is limited. I'm going to compare the Mooer Blade and the EH Metal Muff.Mooeris a company that specializes in themanufacturing of musical equipmentbased in the heart of Shenzhen, China. Their products aim to be both affordable and compact, so you’ll end up saving a lot of room on your pedalboard. 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: That is why it is recommended to run a separate dry signal to maintain the low notes of the bass. After all, that’s what the bass is there for! It makes no sense to me, to use a pedal that cuts out the very essence of what the instrument was intended for. Alas, I am biased due to the fact that I’m in a band with a bass player that has never used any pedals. Mooer Fog Bass vs Zvex Woolly Mammoth? 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.
