About this deal

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: 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. There are some similar frequencies here. However, the Mooer is still missing an extra frequency band compared to the Maxon. And, some of the frequencies are different. The best part with both the Maxon and the Mooer is that they each have a separate level control. I like to use this as a straight-up volume boost. Deciding on which of these two EQ’s are best for me, come down to one thing. And that thing is space. If my pedalboard is cluttered I’d opt for the Mooer. Otherwise, I’d take the Maxon due to its extra band of frequency. I always think having an eq pedal on your board is a great idea. Since adding one to my pedalboard, I can’t imagine what life used to be like without an equalizer pedal. Secondly, The fonts of each of the Mooer pedals match up to the originals. From here it’s quite easy to tell which pedals they’re cloning.

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.

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. The Boss also has a lot more features when compared to the Pitch Box. The Mooer has plenty of features too, especially for a small pedal. However, I’ll explain how this pedal works further down below. Although there are some differences, and, since we’ve established that it’s not an exact clone, I’d still recommend this Mooer Pitch Box for the guitarist on a budget needing a simple, yet effect pitch shifter pedal. Mooer Pitch Box vs Boss PS-5 Super Shifter Have you ever wondered which pedals they are emulating? Well then you have come to the right place! We have gone and compiled a list of the corresponding pedals that Mooer have cloned in their product line.​ THE ULTIMATE MOOER GUITAR PEDAL CLONE LISTI 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 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 worlds 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. The Blues crab is more of a clean drive pedal that is merely meant to boost or push the front of a tube amplifier. Either to an amp that is about to break up or an already driven amp. The blues mood, on the other hand, has more gain on tap and can be used to achieve subtle gain to crunch bluesy goodness.

Apparently, the Pitch Box by Mooer pedals is a clone of the Boss PS-5 Super Shifter. I somehow don’t think that this Mooer pedal is actually a clone of the PS-5. That is not to say that it didn’t draw inspiration from the Boss. In fact, it is quite obvious to see that this Mooer pedal is based, loosely, on the PS-5, but is certainly no clone. The majority of guitar players and gearheads out there are under the impression that the Mooer blue comp is a clone of the Boss CS-2. If I’m honest, it was only until I did some investigating that I discovered this is in fact incorrect. The Mooer Blue comp is actually a clone of the often forgotten about, very rare, and old Boss CS-1 compressor. There are a few characteristics and features of the Mooer Blue compressor that give away the fact that its a CS- clone. 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. I’ve mentioned before in another article that the Boss CE-2 Chorus pedal is my all-time favorite chorus pedal. This is due to the fact that my guitar idols from the 80s used this very pedal. Boss unfortunately no longer makes this version of the Boss CE-2. In fact, the pedal has been discontinued for quite some time. For that reason, my original Made In Japan CE-2 has become an item of value. 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.

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. 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: The Micro ABY Mk11 is pretty much an identical copy of the Fender Micro ABY switch. In fact, it’s the exact same pedal, only it is branded as Mooer instead of Fender. I am not joking here when I say they are the exact same pedal. However, this should not put you off the Mooer pedal. In fact, it should be a testament to the quality of this ABY pedal. because, if Fender is willing to brand it too, then you know it must be good, right?The blue comp is a more complex pedal than the yellow one. The blue comp has an extra two-way toggle switch which allows for more tweaking of your sound. I talk about what the toggle does above. The Yellow one, on the other hand, is a simple three-knob comp pedal and in my opinion, delivers one of the best sounds from any cheap comp pedal I’ve ever tried. If you’re not sure which one is for you, my advice would be to go for the yellow comp. 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? Having said, these pedals do the bass sound from the band, “Muse” pretty well. So if you’re a bass player in a Muse cover band, then I highly suggest getting on of these pedals. There are some settings on the fog that you can set which will maintain the low end somewhat. However, for the most part, this pedal tends to cut out the low end. And as a result, you’re left with an underwhelming fizzy sound. This can often be the case with not only these bass fuzz pedals but bass fuzz pedals in general. If you’re wondering how this matches up to the Blue Faze which is another similar fuzz. 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. 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.
