A truckload of effects in a single pedal

The Mooer Preamp Model X2 effects pedal offers high-quality simulations of electric guitar and bass amplifiers as well as speaker cabinets based on impulse responses (IRs). Inside its compact metal housing, which features two footswitches as well as five control knobs for gain, volume, treble, middle, and bass, the Mooer Preamp Model X2 accommodates an exceptional variety of amps and speaker cabs that guitar and bass players will hardly find in a real studio. This sophisticated simulator pedal comes with the free Mooer Studio editor software, which allows users to directly access the comprehensive range of impulse responses offered by Mooer, load additional third-party or other users' IRs online, and even store an entire customised signal chain comprising amp, speaker cab, microphone, and preamp as an IR file for use live on stage or in the rehearsal room later on. And the good news is: The Mooer Preamp Model X2 with a power adapter comes at the price of just one high-quality overdrive pedal.

Lightweight pedal, heavy sounds

Its affordable price, extremely low weight of just 334g, and gig bag-friendly dimensions make the Mooer Preamp Model X2 effects pedal the go-to choice for guitarists who want to effortlessly play an authentic British or American full-stack amp sound without straining their wallet - or their back! Whether it is placed between the guitar and the amp in the conventional way, operated in the amp's FX loop, or directly connected to the PA, the Mooer Preamp Model X2 ensures maximum flexibility for all setup and routing requirements. It is also incredibly easy to use: All users have to do is select and switch on or off one of the 14 user presets via the two footswitches, adjust the distortion level using the Gain control knob, fine-tune their sound using the Treble, Mid, and Bass control knobs, and finally store their settings by pressing and holding the Save button. Loading and configuring amp and cab IR files is also an absolute breeze thanks to Mooer's free Studio editor software, which only requires a connection between the Mooer Preamp Model X2 pedal and a computer via the integrated USB interface.

From Garage Rock to Top 40

The Mooer Preamp Model X2 is the ideal choice for budget-conscious guitar and bass players who want to take their first steps into the fascinating world of cutting-edge IR-based amp and cab simulations. Thanks to its sophisticated high-resolution impulse responses, users can easily cover a wide range of musical genres without the need to buy and transport an entire arsenal of real amps and speaker cabs. Top 40 band guitarists will be thrilled by the sonic options provided by the 14 amp simulations, while Garage Rock bands will be easily won over by the Mooer Preamp Model X2's excellent performance in the rehearsal room alongside its great sound quality, versatility, lightweight design, and price. And analogue tube amp fans will be happy to hear that this pedal also allows their beloved vintage setup to be preserved in the form of an impulse response, which can be effortlessly taken along and played through just about everywhere. This means that the real amps, speaker cabs, and mics can remain in the studio for use in high-end recording setups that require the finest nuances of a sound to be brought out.

About Mooer

Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.

Authentic amp sims for practice, rehearsal, and performance

Unlike conventional stage setups, the Mooer Preamp Model X2 will reliably deliver a consistent sound quality throughout the entire live gig, since the desired sounds are perfectly preserved in impulse responses that cannot be affected by a mic slipping out of place or interference from the drums. What is more, the simulator pedal is generally less susceptible to malfunctions than a complex signal chain comprising an amp, speaker cab, and mic, which is particularly important for bands playing live on stage and in the rehearsal room. The Mooer Preamp Model X2 provides a convenient, back-friendly, and stress-free way to pack the sound of one's favourite vintage amp and wall of speaker cabs into impulse responses for use in a rehearsal room in conjunction with a PA or a compact transistor amp. And those who also want to enjoy a full-stack sound while jamming and practising at home or on the go will find the Mooer Preamp Model X2 the ideal budget-friendly, lightweight, and easy-to-use tool to complement their pedalboard.

In the spotlight: Amp and cab impulse responses

The Mooer Preamp Model X2 uses impulse response technology for sound generation, which means that an audio impulse (usually a short click) is sent to an amplifier's input and recorded at the output using an audio interface. The difference between the original impulse and the signal recorded on the amplifier’s output is then used to derive and generate a so-called impulse response on a computer. The impulse response comprises all the information about how the amplifier processes an audio signal. This sound profile can subsequently be applied to any given audio signal using the mathematical method of convolution. The Mooer Preamp Model X2 is compatible with all of Mooer’s impulse responses in the MNRS, GNR, and GIR formats as well as with other third-party IR formats, which ensures access to an extremely large variety of sounds in a continuously growing library.
