Mooer 010
Mooer · pedal
The Mooer Micro Preamp 010 Two Stones is a compact amp-in-a-box preamp reproducing the Two-Rock Coral, a Californian boutique amplifier known for its rich, dynamic clean voice and smooth, harmonically complex overdrive. The clean channel is warm and full with generous headroom, a clear sparkling top end and the touch sensitivity boutique amps are prized for; the drive channel is thick and creamy with a vocal midrange and long, singing sustain rather than a tight modern edge. Each channel has its own gain, volume and low/mid/high EQ, with switchable speaker simulation for running direct. Mooer develops these preamps by directly analysing the real tube amplifier to capture its sound, dynamics and response, putting boutique amp character in a micro pedalboard enclosure.
