LP (Low Peak): The Low peak setting works more like a boost. Some pedal enthusiasts say that it works like a clean boost. But, to my ear, there's definitely grit to the sound, even when used as a boost. At close inspection, it is easy to see that they Mooer Funky Monkey is laid out pretty different to that of the AW-2. However, this is certainly to be expected considering the small size of the Mooer. That being said, let's look at how the Boss AW-2 is laid out and then note the differences son the Funky Monkey. This is one of my favorite pedal 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 All of those are truly great minis and stand up well against pretty much everything at this size, even against larger enclosure types. These two pedals may seem similar because they are both echo-based delay pedals. However, they are actually quite different. The Ecolizer has a longer delay time compared to the ana echo. It has a maximum of 600ms whilst the ana only has 300ms maximum. For me, they Echolizer wins over the Ana Echo. However, if you're looking to replace the Boss Dm-2 then the Ana Echo is for you.

Boss DM-2 is definitely one of the most classic Boss guitar effects pedal from the early days of the compact stompboxes. 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. The Mooer Flex Boost doesn't just stop at giving you a footswitchable gain boost: three mini-knobs allow you to control the amount of treble and/or bass that's boosted as well as fine tuning the volume boost. Boost guitar FX pedals are great for giving you more volume for solos or for driving tube amps into natural overdrive I like the overall naturalness of the chorus sound I get from the Mooer Ensemble. Many other cheaper Chinese clone pedals tend to produce a tiny and thin chorus tone which I don't like. The Mooer Ensemble king does not do this, and that is why I think it is such a great clone. It's pretty tough, I would imagine, to recreate such a legendary Boss pedal. But, Mooer does it really well with this pedal.

If you're wondering how this matches up to the Blue Faze which is another similar fuzz on this Mooer clone list, 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.

This is a very simple yet effective phaser pedal. It also sounds good and can definitely be compared to the MXR's Phase 90 in terms of the way it sounds. I'd much rather buy the Mooer Ninety orange instead of the actual MXR. The reason is simple. You get a great sounding phaser pedal with two voicing in a compact pedal for an affordable price. But, if I must be honest, If someone gave me the opportunity to trade in the Mooer for an actual 1974 script phase, I'd take it. Only because they were, and still are such sought-after phaser pedals.

I also discovered that the Mooer Blue Comp uses an Optical TA7136 chip. Which, if I'm not mistaken is the same chip found in the Boss CS-1 There are quite a few Mooer pedals which are clones of delay pedals such as the Reecho and Ana Echo. However, this echolizer is the one Mooer delay pedal that stands out the most to me. Some guitar players believe that this Mooer Echolizer should only be used through your amps effects loop. I tend to find this true, especially if you’re looking to get the best out of the echo pedal. Having said that, I don’t believe that it is fully necessary to have to put it through the loop. I use a pedalboard with my delays and modulation hitting the front of the amp. This has been on my board and I did not experience any problems running it straight into my amp. Mooer Echolizer vs Ana Echo 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. The general consensus is that this pedal is a clone of the Digitech death metal pedal. I have actually owned the Digitech pedal and I can definitely say that the Rage machine is very similar. However, it was brought to my attention that the Rage machine might actually be a clone of the Rage Master which is also made by Digitech. To be honest, that would actually make sense. Considering the name of this Mooer pedal. Watch this space for an update on this pedal. For cons, I think she does not have the dynamics of the Xotic that better responds to changes in volume and play

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.

Whilst there are some definite similarities in the way both these pedals sound, there are also some differences in the way in which the Mooer Ensemble chorus was designed. The biggest difference can be seen on the Mooer Ensemble with the addition of an extra volume knob. The Boss CE-2 came with only two control, which let you control the depth and the rate. But, the Boss CE-2 failed to come with a level knob. Something which could've been useful on such a legendary pedal. However, the Mooer is a pretty versatile chorus with a wide array of chorus effects. Mooer Audio have made sure the blues sound has been covered by adding yet another blues-style overdrive pedal to their range of clones. This time, Mooer have the Blues Mood pedal, which is a clone of the famous and extremely popular, Boss Blues Drive BD-2. However, Mooer didn’t just stop there. No, in fact, they went a step further and cloned the Boss Blues Driver with the legendary Keeley Fat mod. There is also the really high quality Japanese OneControl brand with its excellent Bjørn Juhl -designed minis, and LA-based Italian-made F-Pedals which both could do with more advertising really and more exposure. Yet within all of that Mooer still has a place for providing quality pedals at the right price - the sort of M&S of mini pedals I guess. There are lots of pedal snobs out there, but I personally have a healthy mix of pedals from all corners of the world and I rate them not on where they come from but how they play and how they sound. Admittedly there are only a couple of mins currently in my pedal-chain - largely because I get more options and versatility with compact sized enclosures. Range: lets you play around with the range of the frequency. Moving this range knob to the right spreads the sound of the wah. Whilst moving it to the left closes it up.
