Outstanding simplicity and usability

Front view of Mooer Red Truck effects pedal

With the Red Truck multi-effects pedal, Mooer presents the ideal no-frills solution for all guitarists who want to keep it simple and spare themselves the hassle of scrolling through virtually endless menus to find the desired sound settings. Its robust metal chassis with a clear and user-friendly layout is packed with six of the most important guitar effects and allows instant access to each individual parameter via designated pedal sections, including booster, distortion, overdrive, reverb, delay/echo, and various modulation effects. On its rear panel, the multi-effects pedal features an FX loop that allows additional effects to be integrated into the signal chain alongside a pair of stereo line outputs and a headphone output with integrated speaker cab simulation that delivers high-quality audio signals for direct recording. The scope of delivery of the Mooer Red Truck also includes a handy transport case.

Signature sound in seconds

The Red Truck sound shaping sequence starts in the upper right corner of the user interface with a booster to "thicken" the guitar input signal using a two-band EQ, and continues in the Drive section, which allows a natural-sounding overdrive to be added to the tone. This is followed by a Distortion module with an iconic British-style amp sound that comprises a three-band EQ and a mid-boost, a Mod module with essential modulation effects (chorus/flanger, phaser, and tremolo) and a tempo divide function for creating rhythm pattern variations, and a Delay module with three different types of delay (analogue, echo, and digital) as well as seven sub-division functions for further adjustments. Users can also control the speed of the delay and modulation effects by foot using the Tap switch on the unit's left-hand side. Finally, the Reverb module allows shimmer and other modulations to be added to the sound in order to recreate the ambience and depth of rooms of all sizes, from a small bathroom to a spacious cathedral.

Live and Preset modes

Since no multi-effects pedal is complete without a display, the Mooer Red Truck also features a compact LCD screen that provides the most essential information about the tuning function and the pedal's current operating mode. The Red Truck offers two modes: Live mode enables the control elements to respond in real time to the settings made by the user and the effects modules to be switched on and off using the corresponding illuminated footswitches, whereas Preset mode alternatively allows the five footswitches to be used to recall previously saved presets. Users can easily switch between the two operating modes by pressing the Tap and Reverb switches simultaneously.

All essential features on board

Featuring six of the most important effects in a compact floorboard unit with a simple and intuitive layout, the Mooer Red Truck is the ideal solution for shaping and creating full-fledged sounds using an entire effects chain in next to no time. This multi-FX pedal, which is easy to stow away and transport in a gig bag or case thanks to its ultra-slim design and low weight, will make life significantly easier for guitarists by frequently sparing them the hassle of lugging around an entire arsenal of heavy equipment, such as an amp, speaker cabs, and perhaps even a pedalboard, especially for live gigs. What is more, its practical connectivity, authentically throaty British amp sound, and high-quality effects allow the Mooer Red Truck to be flexibly used for a wide variety of applications and effortlessly cover a broad sonic palette – from transparent and warm-sounding settings through to edgy and punchy tones with appealing dynamics.

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 powerful package to rock the stage

The versatile Red Truck multi-FX pedal from Mooer can be connected in between the instrument and the amplifier in the conventional way or operated in the amp's FX loop using the four-cable method, but it also allows an entire rig comprising a power amp and one or more speaker cabs to be created using its stereo outputs, putting virtually unlimited sonic possibilities at the user's fingertips. No matter what setup a guitarist prefers, the compact and robust Red Truck will always make a convincing case thanks to its authentic British sound characteristics, lively dynamics, and an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that does not require users to read through lengthy operating manuals beforehand. The Mooer Red Truck can be operated using any conventional 9V adapter (available separately) for connection to a power source.

Great reheasal tool, a little too light and small for gigs
kxszander 24.03.2018
This is a great unit for running directly into a clean platform amp. When running it into an FRFR-speaker, it needs an IR-loader or an amp sim/DI-box; otherwise, it produces that very metallic sound (even though supposedly, the unit contains an amp sim on the headphones out).
The small footprint is really cool; tweaking the controls might necessitate a good pair of reading glasses for older players.
The lay-out and order of the effects and controls is very intuitive.
The switch from manual to preset operation is easy.
The tuner is easily activated and quite precise.
The effects, delay and reverb sections are versatile and very usable and the sound quality of those effects is ok.
The overdrive and distortion are quite tweakable and quite pleasant-sounding.
Soundwise, I do not like the on/off boost at all. It is pretty unusable as an overall volume boost for solos due to colloration, and as an pre-OD-boost, it clutters up the signal too much.
In my opinion, the unit doesn't play all that well with external pedals.
The power consumption (±300 mA) is so massive, that it doesn't work with additional pedals on standard multi-power supplies.
A real contender for the Tech-21 Fly Rig series or the NuX Cerberus, with some notable advantages in terms of features; soundwise, maybe not as strong as the aforementioned units.
A very cool unit for rehearsal purposes; maybe just a little too lightweight for real live-applications.

So many sounds and variety of tones in a hand device
Cc.Dada 24.01.2021
I use Red Truck with a Harley Benton SC Custom II and an Orange Crush 35 RT amplifier. I'm a beginner and struggling to play right and create clear tones. I preferred 4 way cable connection method between the amp and Mooer Red Truck, so there are so many cables in a small space and there is some noise when i don't play. This may be solved by some little noice killer devices no matter. There's no problem with the build quality, it's so sturdy and well designed.

It's hard to define the tones created in overdrive and distortion circuits. Warm or wooly? Depends on your playing technique and the all the settings on your gear but i can say Red Truck is a strong device with full of potential tones. Pure boost and mid boost are extras for a budget device.

Shimmer on Reverb pedal is strange and so brilliant. Digital effect channels have real depth and nice feedback.

Pros- Affordable, simple to use, has lots of warm tones for a nice ambient
Cons- Knobs are very sensitive, has a great potential to create wooly and weird ambient for an amateur

I'm just a beginner and this is my first pedal, i preferred to buy Red Truck because building a pedalboard and synchronising all pedals to create a good sound seemed me difficult. Red Truck is a good solution to get commonly used pedals in one compact and pretty light chassis.

And it sounds good.

Nice product
Ian Doherty 21.08.2017
The reverb is as good as what's in my Blackstar Studio HT40, the mod and delay are ok but the analogue drive and distortion come to life using the 4 way cable method and going through the amps drive channel.Will use this for live gigs instead of my Carl Martin Quattro.
Overall a nice piece of kit, it won't be to everybody's taste , but the price will be it's biggest selling point.

Quality in line with price
Heiky 13.01.2020
The feel and look of this multi-effect pedal is more than good.
I hoped for a pleasant surprise in sound, especially on the analog side of the effect (Boost, drive and OD)......but was disappointed that it hadn't the bones i was looking for.
The sound is thin and lack the finesse to my ears
The modulation and delay are of good quality and is in line with the expectations.
The tuner is a nice extra, but not accurate enough.
The Mooer RedTrucks operations is very simple and intuitive
