MOOER Trelicopter, tremolo pedal

Product Information

My Review: After becoming familiar with the A-ME01 from Coolmusic, I found that it is a durable multi-effects pedal, that produces high-quality tremolo along with a multitude of other modulation and filter-based effects. Three controls interact with the effect chosen at any one given time, which provides you with plenty of tone-shaping options. Boss DM-2 is definitely one of the most classic Boss guitar effects pedals from the early days of the compact stomp boxes. This Boss DM-2 is still an exceptionally sought after pedal. Especially due to the fact that Boss stopped making them for a very long time. It is only now in recent times that they’ve reissued these. Before then, it was hard to get your hands on this epic analog delay. That was until Mooer created this great clone. The Ana Echo analog delay is the Mooer mini version of the DM-2 by Boss. These are both analog delays with. However, I’d say that the Boss DM-2 sounds more natural to my ear. There’s also a certain organic decay that the Boss has which the Mooer doesn’t. This is such a minor detail that most people won’t ever notice.

In my personal experience, these Mooer clone pedals were some of the first mini pedals I came across. And they were some of the first mini pedals that were made available at prices that most guitarists can afford. Whilst the Mooer clones might not have been the very first mini pedals to come out, they surely played a massive role in popularising mini guitar effects pedals. I must note that I’ve tried to add video comparisons of each of the pedals and the originals for which they were based off. My hope is that the videos will give more context to my written explanation of these pedals by Mooer. I also aim to review each of these Mooer Mini clone pedals below. How Do We Know These Are Definitely Clone Pedals? The majority of guitar players and gearheads out there are under the impression that the Mooer blue comp is a clone of the Boss CS-2. If I’m honest, it was only until I did some investigating that I discovered this is in fact incorrect. The Mooer Blue comp is actually a clone of the often forgotten about, very rare, and old Boss CS-1 compressor. There are a few characteristics and features of the Mooer Blue compressor that give away the fact that its a CS- clone. The thing which sets the Monument apart from many other tremolo pedals is its harmonic mode. Each of the independent wave settings sounds really interesting, and even the random mode is useful in some musical situations. If you set the pedal to a slow pulsating tremolo, it acts as a rhythmic, textural tool which can be a great way to build suspense in a song. Q: The “Q” knob is quite misleading but it basically just lets you play with how intense you want the wah effect to be. This knob initially led me to believe that the Funky Monkey was a clone of the EHX Qtron pedal. Which is actually pretty plausible come to think of it now, seeing as though the Qtron is also an automatic wah pedal.Who This is Best Suited for: The JOYO JF-09 is recommendable to those who don’t want to spend a small fortune to get quality tremolo on their pedalboard. If you like simple operation and compact pedal sizing, the JF-09 is a great option.

At the heart of the pedal, is the sophisticated Opto-1 Photocell, designed by Fulltone. After looking into this inner component, I learned that it provides sharp sonic character and extremely responsive operation. You can also use the pedal as a competent clean boost, by cranking the internal volume control and turning down the mix control. Used in this way, the pedal provides up to 15dB of clean gain, which is enough for any genre or style of playing! Tremolo combined with a touch of distortion or overdrive can bring your tone to life. Both of these effects add gain and warmth, and the tremolo’s alteration to the volume of your tone works very nicely with them. Firstly, buffered pedals work to strengthen your tone, send it through the signal chain, and restore its power to an optimal level. It constantly performs this function, regardless of whether the pedal is active or not. Buffered pedals are advisable for cable runs because they can preserve the signal and drive it into the amplifier without it weakening. The only danger with buffered pedals is that they are known to boost the high-end, mostly insignificantly, but some guitarists prefer to avoid them for this reason. The alternative method of producing tremolo using an effects pedal, or in the traditional way of using the built-in unit on an amplifier, is with VST plugins. This digital software has grown dramatically in popularity in recent years because they require no external hardware and can be applied to a recording retrospectively.Then there’s the Harmonic mode, which I found adds more color to the output, and sounds like it’s coming straight out of a 60s amplifier. To adjust the tone of both settings, you can use the gain control, which drives the output transformer to the point of saturation. The vast majority of tremolo pedals require 9 volts DC power. This is the standard for most small to medium-sized stompboxes. Commonly, larger pedals that house multiple effects and circuits will require more power, such as 12 or 18 volts. Who This is Best Suited for: If you’re a fan of Fender’s early 60s tube amplifiers, known for their warm, immersive, tremolo-producing capabilities, then the chances are you’ll enjoy this Supro pedal. It strikes a good balance between having plenty of adjustable controls without overcomplicating things. The world’s greatest electric guitar player, Jimi Hendrix used a silicon Fuzz Face. And, if achieving a similar tone to Jimi is what you’re after, I suggest starting with one of these. Now, the Silicon Fuzz face is still available on the market today. Despite having gone through different companies, Dunlop now makes these in pretty much the same fashion as the old ones. They can, however, become quite costly. But, the Mooer Blue Faze is a particularly good clone for a budget pedal. Who This is Best Suited for: Affordable and reliable, the Rowin Trelicopter is a good alternative to the more expensive options on this list. It’s well suited to beginner guitarists or those who perhaps don’t have an abundance of experience with effects pedals.
