They can be found at the feet of pretty much every guitarist: Entire arsenals of effects pedals for shaping their sound. But these beloved companions also require their users to do a tap dance on stage whenever they want to switch between sounds, and that is exactly where the Mooer Pedal Controller L6 MKII comes in, providing six programmable true bypass effect loops and 36 presets for storing individual effect on/off configurations that facilitate smooth switching between the most complex sounds without interruption with a single tap. Compared to similar loop switchers on the market, the L6 MKII particularly stands out thanks to its switchable input and output signal buffers, integrated tuner, and the extremely compact and robust metal housing that is characteristic of Mooer products.
The L6 MKII offers two operating modes: Play mode allows previously stored sounds to be directly recalled from up to 36 preset slots (which are organised in six banks with six presets each) using the footswitches, while Live mode in turn enables the six footswitches to activate the corresponding effect loops. Live mode is the ideal choice whenever users want to adjust their guitar sound in the blink of an eye during a performance or flexibly experiment with multi-effects to create their own signature sound. The Mooer Pedal Controller L6 MKII delivers a consistently stable signal chain from guitar to amplifier thanks to its true bypass switching, which reliably routes the guitar signal only through activated effect loops and completely bypasses the inactive ones. The mute switch, which is located directly before the master output, allows the entire pedalboard to be muted for noise-free tuning breaks.
The Mooer Pedal Controller L6 MKII is a loop switcher for small-sized pedalboards that is stripped down to the most essential features, which means that, while special functions like MIDI control and amp channel switching are absent, users benefit from a significantly more budget-friendly price tag. At the same time, the compact L6 MII makes no compromises in terms of sound quality and is therefore suitable for guitarists of all kinds, from amateurs who want to complement their arsenal of effects pedals to pros who are looking for a small yet powerful floorboard controller. The decision as to whether this ultra-compact Mooer looper is a good match for a guitarist's gear should be made based on the following three questions: Are 36 different sounds sufficient, does my setup require no more than six effect loops, and can I go without MIDI or channel switching? If the answer to all three questions is yes, then the Mooer L6 MKII is the go-to choice.
Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.
The Mooer Pedal Controller L6 MKII effect loop is usually placed between the user's guitar and the amp, but it can also be integrated into the amp's FX loop to place a stronger focus on modulation effects. If long cables are used to connect the L6 MKII to the amp, it is advisable to at least activate the output signal buffer in order to prevent the brilliant sound quality of the guitar signal from deteriorating. To be on the safe side, inexperienced users can also activate both signal buffers and choose the variant they like best once they have set up their sound and effects. And those who prefer to use their own external tuner instead of the L6 MKII's on-board tuner are provided with a designated tuner output connection. By the way: It is of course also possible to connect several effects pedals together to create a single effects loop for even more sonic flexibility.
