    I think I liked the Brit distortion the best. When you had it at 12 o'clock at the start it seemed to cut through a bit more than the rest and seemed punchier. Great video Elmo!

    Very Cool, Thankyou. Sounded great. I have a Flamma Drum Loop pedal same size as these. My first and only experience with Looper and it is a Cool pedal. Plenty of options. Cheers

    They got the high and warm switch backwards on the drive. When you were in clean-boost mode it was way hairier in the high position.

    Pretty good sounds. Great review. I'd love to hear some of your playing with an added oddball delay. Something a bit psychedelic

    The red distortion is a clone of the Fulltone OCD (v2 I think) and as a result makes a very good clean boost with the toggle on High Pass with gain at minimum while raising only the volume. And it looks like you got a faulty one. That's not normal haha

    I'm pretty sure the same conglomerate that owns Mooer also owns Flamma, with the latter being their budget market targeted brand.

    I have a few Flamma pedals that I picked up out of curiosity, and I think they're great. They're tiny enough to stick in a tote, and you can use them on the fly. I mainly have FX ones (verbs and trems, etc.). Like you, my main stuff is all expensive - but I don't know if that is strictly rational.

    • @eupraxis1

      Besides Flamma (the FC05 Mini Mod, etc.), I picked up a Sonicake Octave Guitar Pedal;, a Stax Guitar Harmonizer, and a Fuzz; a Rowin "Trelicopter" Tremolo Pedal, ... among others, all of them in the same price range. I really like them, even though my main pedals include Strymon, Wampler, LHS, EH, Boss (although my DS-1 is almost that inexpensive!), Keeley, Friedman (the BE-OD pedal is ferocious!), et al. Maybe the simplicity and size (they seem like my old HO trains!) make them fun to use. But I have a room full of prime guitars, but I still love to play my budget ones, I think, just because they ARE budget (and because they are really nice!).

    Thank you for this video. My favorites are the drive and the brit. 30 EUR each? Great! ... but each one is far less versatile than a more expansive gear. Is it worth bying 3 cheap pedals to get 3 sounds or one more expansive that can offer more 🤔?

    Hola mi Amigo! I’ve reviewed around 30 low-end pedals of all types for Amazon, and most of them sound surprisingly good. Besides FLAMMA, I’ve had great experiences with AZOR, SONICAKE, EX, Pigtone, and GOKKO to name a few.
    The latter company also makes some really nice steel pedalboards in the $50-$70 range, which come complete with gig bags. I’ve got three of them, absolutely no complaints.

    They sound great! Bummer about some of them being microphonic. Usually some kind of jack problem or bad surface mount component like a filter capacitor.

    @jaywells5283 Год назад +3

    The distortion had me till you hit that noise ceiling, that was a bother, but that Brit distortion?!?! That was only just above half way and you had all that?!?! Let’s say it now, great playing as always, but you can get great tones out of less expensive gear, that being said, I may want one of those Brit drives, it sounded fairly good. and as you said, usin it at home, b.s. Ing around, it sounds pretty damn good! Thanks bro!

  • @needsLITHIUM
    @needsLITHIUM Год назад +1

    I have the black distortion. It's basically a micro pedal Turbo Rat clone. From what I understand, Brit Dist is a clone of a Japanese boutique Plexi voiced preamp pedal, the red Dist pedal is a Fulltone OCD Rev.3, and then the Drive pedal is probably a Boss SD-1w, but I could be wrong on that last one.

      @@paulh1355 I don't own either one so I'm the wrong one to ask tbh. All I know is that the red Dist sounds more like an OCD than the abomination from Joyo lol. I love Joyo pedals, don't get me wrong, but their Ultimate Drive is pretty bad when the Kmise or Saphue clone of a clone of a clone sounds better.

      I hate when people are buying 2k-3k guitar+amp+cab and then use 30-50-100€ Transistor pedals to "improve" their tone. Really sad!

  • @henriquecorreia9917

    this are Mooer pedals in a new box... they are cheaper! the DRIVE is a TS, DIST is a OCD, BRIT DIST I think is a Blues Breaker, and BLACK DIDT is a RAT... The RAT is very good, I heve one!

    @justmehere6094 Год назад +1

    Toss up between the Brit and the Drive. Seems like the EQ wasn't much on any of them. Overall, I think they al sounded like ok pedals, and like cheaper pedals. US cost is $29.95. Frankly I'd rather get a Boss pedal over these. I KNOW they will hold up, and imho sound better, for not much more money (and that's new).

    Not very surprising that these things sound fairly good. They don't do magic, it's pretty simple electronics. Would be interesting to see a test "in the wilde".
