■What is the Micro Preamp series?
The Mooer Micro Preamp series is a digital preamp pedal that records the sounds of various vacuum tube amplifiers in a mini-sized housing. ""Intelligent Amplifier Modeling"" technology captures the sound, dynamics, and response of a real tube amp.

This small unit is packed with features. It is equipped with a 3-band EQ, has two selectable channels, and also has a built-in cabinet simulator. The foot switch can be used not only as an active/bypass switch but also as a channel switching switch.

The Micro Preamp series pedals can be used as effects, of course, but can also be connected to the effect return or power amp input to directly drive the amplifier's power amp. In addition, line recording is possible using a speaker simulator. It can also be output directly to a PA or monitor.

■ Equipped with completely independent dual channels
The Micro Preamp series can select two independent channels. Although the control knobs for operation are common, the knob operation does not affect the two channels. When you switch channels with the CH/CAB button or foot switch, the previous settings are loaded as they are, regardless of the current knob position.
In other words, the sound you created once will not be affected even if you switch channels and move the knobs.
When you switch channels, the LED color changes, so you can see the current channel at a glance.

■ Equipped with cabinet simulator
The Micro Preamp series has a built-in speaker simulator that simulates the sound coming from a speaker, and can also be connected directly to a PA, monitor, audio interface, etc. Press and hold the CH/CAB button to switch the speaker simulator ON/OFF. While the cabinet simulator is ON, the LED will flash slowly.
