Mooer Preamp Live - Multi Preamp Pedal

I bought the preamp live (MPL) after a couple of failed attempts buying multi FX pedals, in a goal to get a decent 'amp-less' set up that would be primarily be used for headphone practice at home.I am very impressed. The MPL is really well built in a solid case with touch pedal buttons (rather than full noisey click like on some pedals) and about the size of 3 normal pedals. The range of amp sounds is superb and I've already found a couple that I love - playing mainly blues, overdriven rock. The brown sound is superb for getting to an EVH sound. With the recent 2.0 update there is an even bigger range of amps (I think 100) and also 13 X boost /overdrive pedal options (including tube screamer and klon types).The dynamics on this are fantastic. It's really close to a true tube amp, responding to the dynamics of attack and the guitar volume brilliantly.It takes pedals really well with the built in FX loop (switchable in the settings for each preset you build). I've also tried a couple of choptones and ownhammer IRs which really open it up, but I also find the stock cabs - of which there are 50 odd - very good.It has an iOS/android app to manage all the settings and cabs (you need to load custom IRs via Mac/pc but can then select) which is great to use and a big draw for me as I don't have to be distracted with a laptop.The thing I like best about the MPL Vs either a (more expensive) helix stomp or the like, is the simplicity. Rather than being drawn into endless fiddling with screens and options to change sounds, I find I am enjoying just playing so much more with less distraction. I can just open up my pedalboard bag and plug in and play.Overall I am over the moon that I have finally found something I can settle on and enjoy.

This is just a treat, highly recommended. Great sounding little thing, very well built and packaged, really smart. The tones are great and it's really easy and intuitive to use, the app and pc softwares are brilliant. And tge cab sim and power amp sim are very accurate at least tested side by side with my marshall 1960A and the power amp section of my 2 valve heads one with el34 and the other with 6l6 valves, love it. Haven't tried the tone capture yet, but the built-in sounds are great very responsive, lovely cleans and high gain tones tigh and incredibly easy and responsive eq.

Awesome pedal ,great tite tones (used for metal).Used to own line6 helix lt but the preamps in the mooer i find are so much better 🤘🏻🤘🏻

VERY accurate modelling of amps.Works brilliant in tube,transitor,modelling amps.Built like a tank,easy to use,app is basic but very functional.Anyone worried about someone else dialling into your bluetooth and befuddling your setting whilst on stage.It has to be on standyby to connect.(Such a pity,it'd be hilarious to muck up a guitarists settings while performing mwahaha)VERY highly recamend....ricommend..rekumm..,It's great.!

Really like the idea of this and youtube reviews all good. Unfortunately the one I received has a terrible mains hum that made it unusable. Had it replaced with the same item. Unfortunately the replacement was delivered in a bit of a state. Packaging damaged but the unit appeared okay. The replacement was delivered with a two pin power supply, not a UK three-pin plug, and had a worse mains hum than the previous one. I have a considerable amount of guitar gear and have no problems with that. Also tried it in my neighbours house in case something was up with my mains but same problem. Returning both for a refund.Update - bought a high quality guitar lead. First unit still faulty but the new lead made a huge difference to the second unit. Now just the usual slight hum you would expect with single coils and very quiet with humbuckers. Takes pedals well too. Will still be returning first unit as unplayable but second unit is now good. Will still complain about the state it arrived in and the European plug, but now sounds fantastic. Clearly likes a good guitar cable.
