Strings Direct TV | ENGL vs. MOOER Hi-Gain Preamps feat. Engl, Marshall, Koch, EVH5150 & Diezel 

05:51 - 003 Power Zone (Koch Powertone) 10:36 - 002 UK Gold (Marshall JCM900) 13:52 - 001 Gas Station (Diezel Hagen) 17:09 - 005 Fifty Fifty 3 (EVH5150) 22:14 - 009 Blacknight (Engl Ritchie Blackmore) 25:20 - Engl Cab simulation D.I.

I just learned about these pedals and have a watched a few other videos and was leaning towards the 009 but hearing it side by side has sealed the deal. Thank you gentlemen very much.

"It's a bit muddy" He goes straight to cranking the gain up followed by the bass way up... uhh....k.

Great review guys! Good job on trying it out through a power amp and a real cab. Cheers!

I have the 008 and 009. Both pedals sound amazing and its one of the best pedals I ever owned. The high gain Chanel just have a sweet spot unlike any other drive or distortion pedal I’ve ever played on. These are game changers.

Awesome video, these are sounding really good.

Great video! That cab sim on the Blacknight sounded pretty decent. It would be nice to hear more (mooer) of the all the preamps, crunch/clean and cab sim.

Wow! Nice demo...I like the sound on 03 and 09..!!!

that pedal does an insane good job mimicing that amp

The pedal was really close. enough to say they got it pretty right. yes a tad bit brighter with the amp then the pedal. awesome pedals and awesome video.

I went back and forth between the amp and the blackmore pedal several times, its bloody close, really good comparison

Nice one guys - being a 5150 fan , I have to say the Engl is the I 'd go for . Thank you for the great demo .

great demo!! you should also try using the blackmore with another power amp from other tube amp and a power amp from a solid state! (most of us would only have a solid state amp anyway)

Great sounds from tiny pedals. HoTone also do amazing sounds from tiny devices. Nice video. If I did not have my Fractal stuff I would consider one of these. Would like to hear their AC 30 Vox pedal.

Pretty interesting stuff. The 03 and 09 sound pretty full

26:25 Engl Blackmore 26:45 Mooer 009 Blackmore Es increíble, definitivamente mooer esta a otro nivel!! Tengo audifonos profesionales de monitoreo y esto me volo la cabeza, literal. 🤯

wtf, why so few subs? That's the best demo of those pedals I've seen so far. Subscribed and gonna check the other vids now.

I just picked up the Mooer Preamp Live which has (more or less) all of the Micro Preamp pedals built into it and I have to agree that the Engl Blackmore is outstanding.

Awesome review 🔥🔥 I fell in love with these pedals, and i plan on getting the 001 diesel or the 009 blacknight. I wanted to ask you, if your amp doesn't have a fx loop can you run it threw the front of the amp? The only thing I hear wrong is the volume when running it threw the front.

Hey guys, nice video ! "Quick" question, i'd like to replace my tube amp in rehearsals with two Mooer pedals (for the vox cleans and the mesa gain channel) is there a possibility to just change from on to another with one tap only? I am very inexperienced with pedals since i have always played only amp+wah and thats it and that channel toggle doesn't look like i could use that in the middle of a song. Also how do they react to a tubescreamer? I have bought one recently and i like it as a boost with low gain and high volume settings.

The black knight sounds great

Do you plug these pedals into the front of the amp? I’m still learning the differences between through the front of the amp and the effects loop etc

You should have tried a blind fold test. See if you can pick it.

Are these knobs really in the "middle"? Seem to me that the middle position of the knobs is sideways, parallel with the letters. If that's the case, then you're setting them not at 50% initially, but to 25% value... Can anyone confirm this? I never played in one of those before.

Can you make this with the new ones please? Awesome video

Best demo I've heard from these. Good quick fix for someone who can't afford a great amp. What model/year of EBMM is he playing? It cuts nicely. That bolt on tone is definitely brighter and clearer than a LP ,I like it!

Congrats on the video, great! Does this pedal get too hot? I ask because I bought one mooer 005 recently and I notice that the temperature rises a lot, getting very hot.

nice review !

I need a sound for Djent or Metal core. So which one that i should buy between 005 and 001??

What are the names/brands of those patch cables? They look sick !

I thought to try some of them. I never thought about 009 it wasn't my style untill I saw you.

i've subs u guys. now can u reviewing the clean one? fender vox blablabla from mooer micro preamp?

you forgot the mesa/boogie clone

The 001 only sounds good when turned down at low volumes...

There’s also a mesa mark 3 one

I built my own baby bomb using an $8 Mini TPA3118 Amplifier Board and 2 jacks. It drives my 2x12 cab and sounds amazing. I use a boss combo drive as a preamp.

I wish you guys demoed the clean channel on them all as well.

Hey Guys, a great review, but you guys maxed out Gain way too much on most of the models. By backing off Gain to a bit past 12, you really achieve a more open sounding thing. You can get the idea at the most when Sam backed off the Gain on the ENGL thing. And also the EVH massively improves soundwise by backing off the gain to 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock. It's a really fantastic pedal, and worth a try, especially for people who have a rather non High-Gain Amp :-)

8:52, 9:05 and 9:40 get some pretty decent AC/DC tones. Reminds me of something like Shake Your Foundations/Fly On The Wall. 10:37 sounds like you could get some good Anthrax-Among The Living tones.

13:03 - "I have no point of reference to the Cock because [gulps]... I have not used one" [both bow down their heads and bite their lips not to laugh] PS - It's spelled "Corr"

To me it sounds like they are really good for their price. I also think that in a live situation, almost no one can hear the difference. Also if you actually want the sounds of 5-6 amps, but can't afford 5-6 amps... Then maby, just maby, this is the way to go? OR MABY I'M TOTALLY WRONG?

Why do you have the volume cranked on all of the pedals?

And you forgot the cab simulation

The amp definitely sounds more "real" and dynamic, but that pedal is pretty damn close

Great demo, the tones were super convincing awesome pedals. Just incase you werent aware the Fifty Fifty 3 is based on the newer Fender made EVH 5150 III which to my ears doesnt sound like the classic 5150 and 6505 that people use for heavier metal, still was the most disappointing pedal

Just heard the ENGL for the first time yesterday, but could be the best one, next to the JCM900

009 can give bright tone right?

I had to use tweezers to turn the knobs. Me amp goes to eleven.

hey guy one the right I love you on SNL

Mids are your friend guy with the hat! Without them you've got no tone . Thin city!

This is the first demo where the fifty fifty sounds bad.

Complete side note takeaway from this video but I think I just worked out that my egnater armageddon is basically a clone of a diezel amp by hearing this tone. Looks like a herbert too 😅

the accents alone make those pedals sound better

UK has one of the nicest marshal sounds ice ever heard with the big chords. I'm not even a marshal guy to be fair

just two words: HOLLY SHIT!!!

26:26 Engl Real OMG

The amp alone sounds the best to my ears.

The Gas Station based on the Diezel is probably the only pedal ive ever owned that could possibly have too much gain. I think its the best for metal. Second is the uk gold 200 as the jcm 900, then the dual rectifier model, cali dual, then the phoenix. Those are the best that i own out of about 7 of em.You kill my ears when you crank the mids all the way up. I think they all sound better scooped.I always scoop the mids all the way out and turn up the bass,treble, and gain.

It's Koch(cotch)

Good idea to throw on your pedal board just in case ya blow a tube in your amp on stage,could save yer ass in a pinch.

not any of these pedals have 'mudd'

Omg stop scooping the mids. Geezus

innit "stop dialling my mid out"...dude in the beany...wtf are you doing with those eq knobs lool setting them to max or min...but not say 3 oclock or 9 oclock, y'know where people might use them lmao but.. pedals sound pretty good though agree regarding the 5150, thought the Marshall and the Blackmore sounded the best

05:49 - 003 Power Zone (Koch Powertone) 10:30 - 002 UK Gold (Marshall JCM900) 13:48 - 001 Gas Station (Diezel Hagen) 17:04 - 005 Fifty Fifty 3 (EVH5150) 22:15 - 009 Blacknight (Engl Ritchie Blackmore)

In a way, don't know exactly how, you're making all sound the same

Stop plyangi with the mids bro wtf

In this episode, Bill and Ted waste 33 minutes of my life.

Me hubiera gustado que entrara el ENGL Fireball Mooer 016 Ya que me encanta el autentico Fireball real Aunque el acabado del Engl Blackmore esta muy hermoso jaja

you forgot the mesa/boogie clone
