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

Product Information

The Grey Faze is a really decent clone of the Dunlop Germanium fuzz face. I’ve tried a lot of budget and cheaper fuzz pedals that all land up sounding too fizzy for my liking. This is not the case with the grey faze. As I like the sound of this pedal a lot. And, despite it only having two controls, I find it to be pretty versatile. That is thanks to the fact that the actual “Fuzz” knob on this pedal is super responsive. And by adjusting it, you’re able to achieve a wide array of sounds. In 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?

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 Metal Having said that, the Hustle Drive by Mooer does maintain the general character and qualities of the OCD range of pedals. The Hustle Drive, like the OCD, reproduces the sound of overdrive that would come from a tube amp. The Hustle Drive is also laid out in the same fashion, with the same three knobs as the original (tone, volume, gain). As well as the 2-way toggle switch featured on the original OCD. Which, lets you select between HighPeak and Low Peak. Toggling between these two changes the way in which the pedal works and sounds: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. Along with these three knobs, the LoFi machine has, as I mentioned above, a 3-way toggle switch. The toggles include Bass, guitar, and synth. Now I’m sure your first assumption, like mine was, is to think that this toggle switch changes the sound of the pedal to that of the instrument of either bass, guitar or synth. However, we’d be wrong in thinking this. That is because this toggle was rather designed to optimize the pedal for the instrument that is being used. For example, if you’re a bassist, you’d have the toggle on bass mode. If you’re running a synth through it, you’d have it on synth mode. And, if you’re playing the guitar through it, you’d have it on guitar mode. So you can see here that this toggle doesn’t actually change the sound at all.

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 ZendriveQ: 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. Let's take a look at the Metal Muff first, and then determine how the Blade distortion does as a copy. Right off the bat, we can see how big the Metal Muff is. Despite this, it does offer an extra boost switch. The Metal Muff has 6 controls which include: 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 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.
