    Mooer are killing it at the moment. This and a micro pre seems like the ulimate backup rig to keep in your guitar case.
    Congrats on 1K subs too dude, well deserved!

    I watched Ola Englund's demo of this, and even while watching this too I really love how Mooer Radar nailed it. It makes me want to get this pedal all for hearing different kind of speaker simulations.

    Mooer is one of my new favorite companies. I've gotten 6 petals from them this year and have plans for 3 more in the near future.

  • @ErostheEpic
    @ErostheEpic 6 лет назад +9

    Recently bought this. Can't afford an Axe FX, and this is the best upgrade for me with my HD500. Since everyone knows that the weakest link on the L6 emulators is its stock cabinet IR's. Can't wait to try it out.

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад +1

      +ErostheEpic How do the effects and amp quality compare in your opinion? I've heard impressive recordings of that generation of Line 6 hardware, but every time I've tried one I sound like ass haha

    • @ErostheEpic
      @ErostheEpic 6 лет назад +3

      Thanks for the reply! It's pretty easy to sound like shit on the Line 6 Pod HD500. Never tried an Axe of a Kemper, but I hear that the jump in quality is there going from a HD500. The amp models are okay for me on the HD500 (EQ helps), but the cabinet Ir's is the hefty bag of shit that breaks that camel's back. Those impressive recordings you heard of, most likely 90% of them use 3rd party IR's. Anyways, I don't record. I play live through my FRFR set up, and I don't want to spend more than 500 dollars just to use 3rd party IR's when going to my FRFR and FOH. That's why this Mooer Radar is a game changer for me for sure!

    • @TheGuitarBay
      @TheGuitarBay 6 лет назад

      ErostheEpic quick question how do you hook the radar up to your FRFR setup? DI box then into mixer?

    • @ErostheEpic
      @ErostheEpic 6 лет назад

      Since the Radar pedal has one output, and I need to get the signal to both my FRFR rig AND FOH, I'll have the Radar at the end of my signal chain - going into the Return of my effects loop on my power amp (FRFR rig now has the signal) then go from the power amps line out into the FOH mixer (Now the FRFR AND Front of the House has the Radar's IR's)
      I still haven't received the Radar in the mail yet, but that seems to be my game plan. Now if I had a power amp that didn't have a line out, I'm guessing I would use an A&B Y Box to split the signal to route to the FRFR and FOH? Not sure if that'll work, but I'll look into it and test things out when I get it.

    @richardwilliams1310 6 лет назад +1

    Mooer Radar is awesome, although it was interesting to see the size of the wall wart power supply transformer for the Radar & Baby Bomb, wow they're HUGE!!! The only feature I would have love to see on the Radar would be a speaker through which would allow you to send the Radar's speaker cab sim ir to either your audio interface, pa monitors or mixing desk whilst still playing through your own guitar amp and speaker cabinet.
    To achieve this you need something to split the signal, like a di box / y-splitter (e.g. Lehle P-Split II, Suhr Buffer, Radial Cab-Link, etc) or possibly an effects pedal with stereo output (e.g. Boss MS-3, Keeley Super Mod Workstation, etc) or you could jump up a lot in price to a Two Notes Torpedo Live which adds a load box for tube amps too, although the Mooer Radar and Two Notes Torpedo Captor would have been a much more affordable combo in comparison if working with tube amps

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад +1

      +Richard Williams Fortunately, Mooer makes a pretty affordable ABY micro pedal for just that application if you require it. The Captor + Radar would definitely be a great combination at less than the cost of most dummy load boxes.

    • @richardwilliams1310
      @richardwilliams1310 6 лет назад +1

      Yes, they have a great range of pedals and cover almost everything you could possibly need for your pedalboard. Thanks for all your great informative videos mate \m/ Cheers from Australia

    • @richardwilliams1310
      @richardwilliams1310 6 лет назад +1

      Any recommendations on software to create your own impulse responses to then load them into the Mooer Radar??? ... I know the commercial impulse responses out there will be far better than anything I can create due to the equipment they use to capture and sculpt the audio but I would like to muck around and give it a go at home anyway.
      Starting off on the cheap (budget/value), I would most likely (yet to buy) use a Zoom U-44 for its price and wide range of connectivity for use with other instruments too and maybe a microphone like the MXL DX-2 probably used with a ultra compact cheap amp head and speaker cabinet combo, just to see how far you can push it to get a decent tone
      e.g. Orange Micro Dark paired with the Orange PPC108 or paired with a Vox BC108 (trying to keep everything small and not too loud as I have little space in my home and don't want to play too loud, lol).
      If I went for a valve combo, it would most likely be the Marshall DSL5C & Two Notes Captor 16 Ohm, as an alternative to using mics as a silent and low volume recording combo. I really do like the Laney IRT-Studio too for its simple reamping and silent recording option with its internal dummy load (loadbox) and low output mode for playing at more reasonable volumes at home.
      If I was to get a different mic, maybe an Audix i5 or AKG C1000S to serve multiple miking duties from miking cabinets to vocals.
      Now I just need some $$$ ... A GoFundMe page maybe, lol
      Thoughts??? Thanks!!!

      Practically nonexistent, it definitely doesn't impart any significant noise on its own.

  • @assemblywizard8
    @assemblywizard8 6 лет назад +1

    great review! Just a heads up: you have digital clipping from 16s to about 30s. I think I saw this in other of your videos. It's better to have lower levels than try to maximise the gain so much.

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад

      +assemblywizard8 Thank you! Believe it or not, this was a post production screw up, not clipping. I recorded that section in 41100 Hz but rendered the video in 48000 Hz, which causes all that phasing and aliasing you're hearing. It took me forever to figure out why that was happening on older videos, and I forgot to use my normal Cubase project this video to keep that from happening. It was too late by the time I caught it...

      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад

      +smb1412 Thank you! As far as a "pre amp" goes on the Radar, theres really only a master volume control that I keep around 50-65% and adjust the output of whatever is going into it before it clips. I keep the power amp sim for a pre amp pedal but turn it off for something like an amp line out or the AX8.

    Cheers!

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад +3

      +Khoi Trinh Really, there's not much of a difference. I prefer to use effects after the amp block and before that cab in the AX8, but putting effects after the cabinet doesn't change the sound in any perceptible way. To keep things as authentic as possible though, the speaker sims go last for me as a rule of thumb.

  • @giancarlopaolini7529
    @giancarlopaolini7529 6 лет назад +4

    I told you that it was going to be a much better option than the Trescab ... I'm already pondering on how good it might sound having two of them running two different cab combinations, perhaps even user IR, after two different Mooer preamp pedals (a Friedman version is in the pipeline) and a TC Mimiq on top i.e. one single input then splitting into two different lines of sound ... and all in a pedalboard ... no more heads and cabs to carry along.

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад

      +Giancarlo Paolini I had no doubt it would be, but I'm glad I was able to personally test both! If you are into stereo rigs, that would be one hell of a setup for the size.

    Hi and grats on your channel and reviews

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад

      You will want some type of pre amp simulation to run through your FX Loop for that application. However, if you have the model with 6.5" speakers, you won't get the full effect of these types of pedals as the high gain models are really intended for 12" speakers. It will still be a marked improvement though.

    • @Kufojohn
      @Kufojohn 6 лет назад +1

      Thanks for the immediate response :D
      Yes it is the 6.5" speaker one. I should mention though that the amp doesn't have a distortion channel. Just clear sound. Mentioning that detail, for your suggestion on putting one of the micro preamp pedals through the effects loop.
      If this is still your suggestion, that means that my other distortion pedals should go typically in front of the amp, or also though the fx loop but before the preamp pedal?
      Sorry for my questions but I am new to this and find your experience invaluable. Thanks again.

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад

      If you do go that route, you have two options (or a combination of the two). You can just use the clean channel of the micro preamp as your new clean channel, and run the rest of your pedals in front of that. Or, you could use An ABY box to split between the preamp in the loop and the clean channel of your amp with whatever pedals you have there. I would try the pre amp alone first.

      +Plague Scythe Studios Wtf :D I got the comment with you saying that you haven't noticed any latency headphones or through direct monitoring soundcard. So thanked you for it and now that comment / reply of yours isn't visible here.
      +Dan Conti I know about those. Pangea 1.2 ms , Torpedo 1.7ms . I was just curious because Mooer doesn't mention latency in specs anywhere.

      ExplosiveNotes, that is rather weird that its not noted. Gotta admit tho; Mooer is really upping their game recently. Their new stuff is pretty slick like the GE200, which could make for a huge price shift in the market of amp/cab sims.

    So I am interested in buying a Peavey classic 20 mini head to use at my church. If I use the mic simulated direct out to the mixing board where should the this pedal go in my signal chain. I was thinking about doing guitar to volume pedal, wah wah, overdrive, in to font of amp. Then, delays and time based effects in to effects loop. Would that work, and where should the radar go? Or am I just way off with my whole setup? I've used a pod hd500 for so long I've almost forgot how to play through a tube amp lol please help!

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад

      +Luke Chandler This is where different direct outputs on amps get confusing, and I wish there was more of a standard. If your line out is already simulating a cabinet, this pedal isn't compatible. If it has a raw output though, or you have a load box with a line out to connect to your speaker jack, then this pedal is right up your alley. I have a newer video about using the AX8 with a real tube amp that goes into more detail on combining tube amps and digital gear for a direct sound.

    Hi, i have some questions. If i use mooer radar do i need to use power amp like baby bomb? And where should i plug this? Is it send of the amp? Or return to to the amp?

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  5 лет назад +1

      Radar replaces the power amp and cabinet entirely. You use with line level gear, e.g. after a pre amp pedal or an amp head plugged into a reactive load box. There is no FX send or return in the equation.

  • @mmarrinan

    • @TheXxjmpxxx
      @TheXxjmpxxx 4 года назад

      If you used this with JUST a baby bomb, all you would get is just your guitars clean signal + (inserted Cab sim). You need a preamp at least for tone shaping.

    So could I use this in my signal chain somewhere to monitor a peavey 6505 with headphones?
    Thinking of buying a Torpedo reload but won’t always want to have to connect to a computer to run a cab sim. I could always buy a Torpedo Live but it’s more expensive and seems to have a few less options...except it has built in headphones and can sims.
    Confused.....

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад

      +James Hooker Do you want your amp to be silent? If so, you still need a load box with a DI line out (or without if your head has a line out already). Either way, the torpedo products include a reactive load so you don't blow up your amp, which adds to the cost.

    • @Advcrazy
      @Advcrazy 6 лет назад

      Plague Scythe Studios thanks for the reply!
      yeah that’s the plan. Has to be silent and will use the Torpedo as the load. Having big problems deciding between the Reload and the Live. Was thinking maybe I could get the reload to start since it’s cheaper and when I get sick of hooking it up to the laptop all the time, and the bank account recovers I could look for another option to add cab sims and headphone jack. Not sure if the Radar will work that way in this case or not though.

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад

      +James Hooker Have you considered the Captor? Even if you don't already have an audio interface already, a dedicated USB interface, Captor, and Mooer Radar would be a nearly 50% discount on the Reload alone. Unless you need the re amp features of the Reload, that would be what I would look at first.

    • @Advcrazy
      @Advcrazy 6 лет назад

      Plague Scythe Studios yes also considering the captor. Which would put me in the same boat as the Reload and needing a headphone jack somewhere. I thought the load box worked differently in the captor though and was under the impression that the Reload might sound better. Any idea?
      Can the mooer radar be placed after the power amp somehow or after the load box somehow so I can hear the amp ( headphones) and still have the appropriate load on the amp?

    Hi. Would I need a load box if I wanna connect this pedal directly to a mixer?

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  5 лет назад

      Pretty much yes. The only way you wouldn't is if you are playing through a regular speaker cab and your amplifier has a direct line or "slave" output like Mesa and Friedman amps, then you can connect that to the radar.

      @angeloredoles1255 5 лет назад

      @@PlagueScytheStudios mm something doesn't make sense to me at this point. I was checking the manual and it says that one of the ways of using the mooer radar is conecting a pream or the pedals first, then the mooer and finally the mixing console. What if I do it this way? and what could happen If I don't use the load box in that chain? Could the mooer be blown?

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  5 лет назад

      The key word there is preamp, not an entire amp head. A line level preamp pedal is fine, you can even use the radars power amp sim to good results. Plugging a 50 watt power amp into anything but a speaker load will fry it and destroy one or more components on the amplifier, namely the output transformer. Be sure to understand the difference between preamps and power amps before you buy something like this.

And I bought the mooer 008 that you have, and now and I am planning on getting the mooer, but I have heard many times about the usage of the load box, wich, at least, sounds weird to me, but that is because I didn't see the difference between a preamp and power amp function of the mooer. With that being said, if I get the mooer with another mooer preamp, can I connect them to the mixing console and manage without the load box?

      If it truly has a load box, then you are good to go. However, I would still caution you as not all load boxes are made equal. The video goes more in depth, but if the load is not reactive, it will sound like shit.

      Plague Scythe Studios I love Mesa too, but I got turned onto the Peavy stuff not long ago. If you like bright and brutal amp tones, it should be right up your alley (especially with a clean boost). If you do anything with extreme metal, you should have those in your arsenal.

    • @PlagueScytheStudios
      @PlagueScytheStudios  6 лет назад

      I have a love hate relationship with 5150 and 6505 type amps. With a good impulse response and a tweaked clean boost, they can produce the ultimate metal guitar sound and feel great to play. But, so many bands use that same sound, and many others make the amp sound awful in my opinion, that I generally stick to Mesa amps or high gain plexi amps.

    • @Andrath
      @Andrath 6 лет назад

      Much agreed. It's also why the mooer version of the 5150 is perfect. You can drop it into your pedalboard if you like, or leave it out. For 90 bucks you can't really lose. :)

      Maybe add the Neunaber Iconoclast as a non-IR alternative.
