The Mooer Micro Preamp 005 Brown Sound 3 models the EVH 5150 III, Eddie Van Halen's third-generation signature head, targeting its saturated, harmonically dense lead voice with a tight low end. Originally sold as the Fifty-Fifty 3 before Mooer renamed the model.
The Mooer Micro Preamp 012 US Gold 100 is voiced after the Friedman Brown Eye 100, Dave Friedman's hot-rodded Marshall built for a thick, mid-rich crunch with far tighter response than a stock plexi. Sold earlier as the Fried Mien before Mooer's rename.
