Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.36% — somewhat different

Description
The Mooer Micro Preamp 008 Cali-MK 3 is voiced after the Mesa/Boogie Mark III, the amp that defined the scooped, sustaining American lead tone of the 1980s via its graphic-EQ-shaped mids. Distinct from the 017 Cali-MKIV, which models the later, tighter Mark IV.
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.
