Mooer Pure Boost Review

Lately, many guitar players are fascinated by the Chinese manufacturer Mooer Audio as it offers a range of clones of well-known effect pedals. One of these is the Mooer PureBoost which is a clone of the Xotic RC Booster. It is great for boosting your guitar effect pedals, giving you more volume for solos or for driving your tube amp into its natural overdrive.

It has a small metal enclosure with four control knobs: Gain, Volume, Treble, and Bass. It produces 20 db of a clean boost. Although it needs some EQ adjustments to keep your original signal unaltered though, it is still perfectly transparent. For boost, the recommended setting is 2 o'clock volume and the gain on 0. Even at 0 gain, you still have enough volume to amplify your solos. For extra push over the cliff and some grit on your amp, turn the gain level up. The treble and bass controls work as a +/- 15 db EQ to help your guitar cut through the mix.

On the other hand, the video below shows the capability of Mooer Pure Boost to sound as close as possible to its more expensive counterpart, the Xotic RC Booster.

Look how small it is compared to other effect pedals. It is definitely a space-saver on your pedalboard.
