Mooer Red Truck

Truckful of tone

The Red Truck has all the effects you could want in a simple channel strip, with reverb, delay, modulation, distortion, drive and an inline boost. Within each effect there are also a lot of options, like subdivisions on the delay, choice of tone between digital, analogue or tape emulation, and usable phaser, tremolo and flanger settings on the mod patch. The only setting that lacks is the shimmer on the reverb, which is devoid of the smoothness of other octave ’verbs. The overdrive is great for pushing an amp into saturation and has a lot of gain; the distortion is Rat-like with a powerful three-band EQ.
