Speaker simulator for guitar and bass

The Radar speaker cabinet simulator from Mooer's micro series is a small yet powerful tool that offers professional-quality speaker cabinet sound for both studio recordings and live performances. Thanks to its 30 simulated speaker cabs, eleven microphone models, four power amplifier models, and the additional option of loading third-party impulse responses (IR), the Mooer Radar can virtually replace a real speaker cab in various setups, delivering a lively, dynamic sound and an authentic playing feel that will satisfy even the most demanding guitar and bass players. This cab simulator in a compact pedal format features a line output, a headphone output, and a USB port that allows it to be connected to a computer in order to access the wide variety of editing options of the Mooer Studio Editor software.

The cab can stay at home

The Mooer Radar's 30 simulations represent the major names in the history of speaker cabs: From a Fender Champ style 1x8" combo, 2x12" emulations of Fender Twin Reverb amps, and the Vox AC30 AlNiCo speakers through to the classic 4x12" cabs from Marshall, Mesa Boogie, Diezel, and Orange. They also include a bunch of Ampeg emulations for bass guitars that range from 4x10" and 8x10" through to 1x15" combos, and eleven mic sims along the lines of renowned AKG, Rode, Neumann, Shure, and Sennheiser models. This is perfectly complemented by four fully editable power amp models and three customisable EQ sections that allow fine-tuning of the overall sound. All of the functions can be easily accessed and controlled via the LC display and a single central potentiometer.

Professional sound for everyone

The Mooer Radar cab simulator provides users of pedalboards, preamps, and modellers with a cost-effective and professional-sounding solution that allows them to optimally tweak their guitar tone before sending it to a PA, an amp, or the recording interface of a DAW. This compact pedal, which is packed with a comprehensive selection of cab sims, various emulated mics, three EQs, and four power amp sims, not only offers a wide variety of options for transforming guitar signals into a unique dynamic sound but also an intuitive, easy-to-use layout and a bunch of useful interfaces for the Mooer Studio Editor software, e.g. a headphone connection and a USB port, all of which makes the Mooer Radar eminently suitable for a wide range of applications – from quiet practice sessions and silent recordings in the living room through to impressive live gigs.

About Mooer

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.

A reliable companion on stage and in the studio

Whether users are looking for a comprehensive selection of speaker cabs for recordings in the studio or a professional-quality sound for their pedalboard on stage without the hassle of carrying heavy equipment – the Mooer Radar offers numerous high-quality cab sims for a wide range of applications at an affordable price, and is therefore an excellent alternative to similar products from competitors. And thanks to its clear and easy-to-use layout consisting of just one control knob and a colour display, the Radar allows both beginners and experts to achieve professional results in next to no time and store them in up to 36 user presets for instant access later on.

Huge upgrade for a decent price
mariushoog 03.05.2019
Bought the Radar specifically to upgrade the sound my POD HD500X, instead of upgrading to a Helix or Axe FX. Although I still have a lot of experimenting to do, I can already say that the Radar meets (or beats) my expectations and breaths new life into my HD500X. Sofar I have only used it as the final component in the signal chain (1/4 out into the Radar to mixer to headphones/monitors) and the difference in sound is substantial. Used the Radar with my own IR's (replaced the stock ones with the free downloadable editor) and the improvement is well worth the 129 euro's I paid for the device. To my ears it brings to HD500X very close to a Helix.

Tips/Pro's/Con's;
1) Rename your own IR wav's to meet the length limitations of the Radar, prior to uploading.
2) Think about the sequence of your presets, as you cannot move them around after you've saved them.
3) The Radar is NOT a loadbox, so don't connect your head to the radar without a speaker or loadbox attached to your amp.

Pro's
1) Great value for money
2) Poweramp model's and EQ's available allow for finetuning or varying your presets.
3) Great sound
4) Store upto 30 third party IR's into the unit.
5) Well build, small footprint

Con's
1) External unit, so apart from changing presets on your POD, you need to also change the preset on the Radar that you've designated for the POD preset.
2) Seperate adapter (12V DC) required, however appearantly the Mooer should also function on 9V DC).
3) Limited functionality in the editor.

In all, great device, highly recommende.

For what it is, unbeatable
cubusaddendum 29.09.2018
I got one these based on the reviews I saw from Ola Englund and Pete Thorn. In essence, it's a convolution processor in a compact pedal form factor that's for modelling a guitar power amps and speaker stacks.

It's as deep as Kemper or AxeFX? No. But it is a very usable 3-stage convolution processor that can completely transform a DI'ed preamped pedal tone (e.g. MXR 5150 overdrive) into a "omg that sounds massive" tone - and for very little money.

Latency is sub-2ms so you aren't really aware of it. Impulses are limited to 23ms, which is 1024 samples at 44.1kHz samplerate. This is enough for power amps, speaker cones and close-mic'ed microphone modelling, but not for reverb.

You can also upload your own impulses with the same length limitation, and this will bypass part of the on-board signal chain. Pete Thorn demonstrates that you can use this with add body resonances to contact-mic'ed instruments such as guitar. Very interesting stuff.

The USB connection to editing software seems a bit a flaky to me, but that's the only negative I've found so far.

Good tool and complement for pedalboards.
Hugo4088 06.12.2021
It brings very good features for the price, the speakers pre loaded are very useable in general but we can load our own IR's.
It can be conected to a PC by USB mini cable and use it's own software for easy access to the various tweaking possibilities and easy of use options such as: different Power amp valve types, various microphone types with positioning options, equalizations, and manage a total of 36 presets that you can store on the pedal.

It has a stereo headphone jack output which i find very handy if you want to put it in the end of your pedalboard signal chain for practice , it will work as your power amp and cab simulator after your pedals.

In my opinion the pocket size/features/sound quality are the main reasons to buy it. You can't get better than the radar for the price, but there are alot more options to consider.

Tiny but mighty
Sega Milkis 18.02.2022
An amazing product, my first cabsim device. The ability to use any IR is a must and Radar has it. Navigating with 1 knob is shockingly well executed, it's intuitive and easy, but still a biiit tedious. Also XLR out would be nice but oh well. With a such tiny sized pedal it's no big deal. METAL! 🤘🤘🤘
