My New JCM900 head is here!!!!

[Aceman]

And it's a lot smaller than I thought it might be....

 

[devastone]

Those little Mooer preamps are great!

 

[ehdwuld]

do you run it in front or in the loop?

 

[devastone]

In the loop, into a power amp, or direct with the cab sim on.

 

[ErikH]

Nice. Curious how that one sounds.

 

[Demanic]

How are you using it? For cleans or with distortion? And straight into a power amp or in front?

So far, I just ran it straight into the front on clean channel. Overall liked it there.

Well, when you run the gain up too high, it sounds like a fizzy mess. So, pretty accurate there. That said - a host of nice lesser, but still high gain, sounds.

I plan on trying into the FX Loop next.

I'll try it straight into my Scarlett next.

What is this "clean" thing you speak of LOL...

Actually, I did quickly listen to the clean tone. First impression - not bad. Might be good even.

That will probably work better. I tried the 5150 version and it was good into a power amp and the cab sim is great for DI.

I have another pedal coming I'm gonna pair with it for an ultimate mini-board. Maybe two...

If nothing else, its a backup in your guitar case

Any guitar case

 

[ehdwuld]

My Joyo American and British won't fit in my guitar case.

Ive tried

 

[Aceman]

OK - Gave this Micro-head (Mini-Micro-Head? Microscopic Head?) a run straight into the effects loop.

Updated opinion: WOW - way better than into the front. Much better range of everything. Less fizzy on max gain, far better EQ response etc.

Even more impressed than first opinion.

Good to know!

Who would have thought...a preamp sounding best when used as a preamp!

I'll be trying it into the front of a few things. First shot was into the front of Marshall VS100 Clean Channel on 25 watt mode. Coming up:
100 watt mode
Peavey Express
HK Tubemeister 18
Fender Pro Jr.

I would use it with my dirty setting to boost my gain, vol, and mids/highs during my solos.

I would never do that - but I might try it just to see...

If you do ever get the itch to run it into the return of your Stiletto, just remember to have it set for cleans (even though the preamp is not really "engaged").
I assume it's like the Rectifiers when running like this, where you will still be able to use the presence control on the amp because it's at the end of the circuit in clean modes.
