MOOER / Micro Preamp 019

The Mooer Micro Preamp 019 is a preamp pedal modeled after a 50W Plexi amp made in 1967. It reproduces a well-balanced sound overall while retaining the thick low end. You can switch between the detailed blue channel and the thick mid-gain distortion red sound.

■What is the Micro Preamp series?
The Mooer Micro Preamp series is a digital preamp pedal that contains 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 amplifier.

The small housing 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 but also as a channel switching switch.

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

■Equipped with fully independent dual channels
The Micro Preamp series allows you to select two independent channels. Although the control knobs used for operation are common, 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 is, regardless of the current knob position.
In other words, sounds you have 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 flashes slowly.
