Mooer Announces Micro DI

Mooer Announces Micro DI

Mooer Audio's new Micro DI features cabinet emulation, gain switch, and a very small footprint.

Oxnard, CA (September 7, 2013) -- Mooer Audio has done it again. This time it is a smart direct input box with ultra low distortion. It quietly transfers the signal chain directly to the audio system and has a ground lift switch to eliminate hum or ground loops. There is a virtual 4 x 12” cabinet emulation and a gain switch (-20dB, 0dB, +20dB). It is an outstanding addition to anyone’s recording or gigging rig.

  • Very small unit (roughly 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches) to conserve real estate
  • Durable construction including all metal housing
  • Cut and Boost for use with any input signal

Mooer Audio is well known for the small size and the big sound of its effects micro pedals. Dana Teague is an Analog Electric Engineer and has always appreciated Mooer Audio’s attention to quality design and manufacturing. “Mooer has very successfully addressed the bane of every electric guitarist and bassist when recording – signal noise and distortion. The Micro DI will be a much appreciated stocking stuffer!”

MSRP: $99.00

A 26 1/4" scale length, beastly pickups, and buttery playability provoke deep overtone exploration and riotous drop-tuning sounds.

A smooth, easy player that makes exploring extra scale length a breeze. Pickups have great capacity for overtone detail. Sounds massive with mid-scooped fuzz devices.

Hot pickups can obscure some nuance that the wealth of overtones begs for.

No matter how strong your love for the guitar, there are days when you stare at your 6-string and mutter under your breath, “Ugh … you again?” There are many ways to rekindle affection for our favorite instruments. You can disappear to Mexico for six months, noodle on modular synths, or maybe buy a crappy vintage car that leaves you longing for the relative economy of replacing strings instead of carburetors. But if you don’t want to stray too far, there are also many variations on the 6-string theme to explore. You can poke around on a baritone, or a 6-string bass, or multiply your strings by two until you reach jingle-jangle ecstasy.

A familiar-feeling looper occupies a sweet spot between intuitive and capable.

Intuitive operation. Forgiving footswitch feel. Extra features on top of basic looping feel like creative assets instead of overkill.

Embedded rhythm tracks can sneak up on you if you’re not careful about the rhythm level.

Maybe every guitarist’s first pedal should be a looper. There are few more engaging ways to learn than playing along to your own ideas—or programmed rhythms, for that matter, which are a component of the new DigiTech JamMan Solo HD’s makeup. Beyond practicing, though, the Solo HD facilitates creation and fuels the rush that comes from instant composition and arrangement or jamming with a very like-minded partner in a two-man band.
