New Mooer Vocal Pedals Announced

January 10, 2024

MOOER has unveiled its new trio of effect pedal innovations, the MVP1 AUTUNER vocal processor, MVP2 Harmonier and MVP3 Loopation.

Unlike most of MOOER’s products, the MVP1 AUTUNER pedal is designed primarily for use with vocals, offering precise pitch correction and exceptional vocal enhancement features. However, MOOER hasn’t forgotten about its primary audience, so AUTUNER still provides plenty of features that will interest guitarists.

Due to the pedal’s primary focus on vocals, the device includes several features specifically designed for microphone usage. This includes XLR input and output, in addition to support for 48V phantom power, ensuring that the pedal supports both dynamic and condenser microphones. However, AUTUNER also includes standard ¼” guitar inputs and outputs, along with convenient footswitch control to switch between mixed or individual signals.

The pitch correction features behind AUTUNER are highly versatile. With an LED button, users can choose between flat, warm, and bright vocal tones, each indicated by a different color. Once a tone has been chosen, the ‘correction’ dial can be used to define the sensitivity of the pitch correction. Users can also press and hold the left footswitch to trigger the pitch correction’s vocal synthesizer mode.

AUTUNER’s versatility shines particularly brightly thanks to its built-in effects modules. The first of these is delay; the delay module can be can controlled with its dedicated dial, with users having the option to choose between tape delay, digital delay, slapback delay, or bypass. The pedal’s left footswitch serves as a tap switch, which allows the user to determine the speed of the delay module.

A reverb module is also featured within AUTUNER. This too has its own dedicated dial, which can be used to morph between room delay, hall delay, and plate delay. Whilst the core pitch correction features of the pedal aren’t limited only to vocals, these delay and reverb modules ensure that the pedal has plenty of dedicated features to offer MOOER’s guitarist fanbase.

As is common with MOOER products, AUTUNER features a wide range of control mechanisms. In addition to the left footswitch’s dual functionality, the right footswitch also acts as a bypass for the pitch correction and effects, whilst still ensuring the tone processing remains active. The pedal’s tonal enhancements can then be fully bypassed with the ‘flat’ tone option.

In addition to its core features, the MVP1 AUTUNER also includes a gain dial, a 48V phantom power switch for internal microphone amplification, a grounding switch, and a DC 9V 500mA power input. Overall, the features of this pedal ensure that vocalists and guitarists alike have everything they need for impressive pitch correction, vocal synthesis, and spacial processing, whilst ensuring that they never have to rely on external batteries.

The MVP2 Harmonier is a versatile and innovative vocal processor pedal designed to elevate both vocal and guitar performance, offering tonal precision, creativity, and convenience in one compact pedal.

At its core, the pedal offers a versatile pitch harmonizer effect. The ‘Key’ dial allows users to choose to harmonize their important with any note in the chromatic scale, with the ‘Sharp’ LED button being used to select sharp notes. Once chosen, the ‘Mode’ dial facilitates further customization, offering 11 different harmony modes that control the harmony’s interval. This includes all classic intervals such as octaves, fifths, and thirds.

The ‘Level’ dial adjusts the volume of the harmonizer effect, but Harmonier offers even further tonal flexibility thanks to its reverb function. Users can press and hold the ‘Sharp’ button while rotating the ‘Level’ dial, which allows them to adjust the volume of the pedal’s internal reverb module. The pedal also offers tone modes: flat, warm, and bright. These can be controlled by activating the pedal’s unique ‘hidden mode’ and using the ‘sharp’ button.

‘Hidden mode’ is activated by pressing and holding both of the pedal’s footswitches, but this is just one example of Harmonier’s unique control system. The left footswitch can be held to save effect presets, and pressed to scroll through 7 preset slots. The right footswitch can be pressed to turn on the pedal’s effects, pressed again to isolate the reverb, and held to turn off all effects except for the tone setting.

Unlike most of MOOER’s pedal offerings, Harmonier supports both XLR and 1/4″ inputs and outputs. These can be used in ‘mixed mode’ by holding the right footswitch whilst plugging in the power supply or repeating this action again to switch to ‘individual mode’, which isolates the signals to their given ports.

Alongside its fundamental functionalities, the pedal features a gain dial, a 48V phantom power switch designed for internal microphone amplification, a grounding switch, and a DC 9V 500mA power input. Collectively, the MVP2 Harmonier’s features guarantee that both vocalists and guitarists have all the necessary tools to augment their instrument’s sounds with stunning harmonies, without ever having to worry about the pedal’s batteries running low.

Features:

12 pitches with 11 different harmony mode
11 harmony modes that provide different harmonic intervals
High-quality internal reverb module with adjustable volume
3 tone modes: flat, warm, and bright
7 preset slots
Dual-functionality LED button
Two multi-functional footswitches
Customizable effect, tone, and reverb isolation
Two output modes: mixed and individual
XLR input and output
1/4″ input and output
Internal 48V Phantom Power amplification
48V Phantom Power toggle switch for condenser microphones
Line in toggle switch for instruments and dynamic microphone
Gain dial
Ground/Lift toggle switch
DC IN 9V 500mA power input

The new MVP3 Loopation is a versatile and feature-packed pedal designed to enable musicians to create seamless loops with their voice and instruments and is part of MOOER’s recent MVP series which provides versatile support for microphone input.

Loopation provides 11 save slots for recorded audio loops, with 8 of these slots featuring 5 minutes of recording time, and the other three having 10 minutes. Slots can be selected with the simple ‘song’ dial, and once audio has been recorded, the files will automatically save onto the device. The pedal offers two recording modes: real-time, and auto.

Recording in real-time mode is activated when the right footswitch is pressed, in the same style as traditional loop pedals. In contrast, the auto mode enters standby when the right footswitch is pressed and begins recording once signal is detected, stopping recording with another press.

However, the looping functions don’t stop there. Pressing the right footswitch commences file playback, and during playback, another right footswitch press will enable dub mode, which will continue until the footswitch is pressed once again. Playback can be halted with two quick presses of the right footswitch, or alternatively by switching to a different save slot.

When playback is stopped, users can delete all recorded layers by holding the right footswitch for 1 second, or by holding the second ‘stop’ footswitch press. Finally, users can undo their dubs by holding the left footswitch whilst an overdub is playing and can complete this motion again to restore this deleted layer. If the musician wishes to reverse the audio file, this can be achieved through a single left footswitch press.

Loopation provides both XLR and 1/4″ inputs, which can be used in either ‘mixed’ or ‘individual’ mode. Users can toggle between these modes by holding the right footswitch while plugging in the power supply. In mixed mode, both inputs will be active, which can be balanced using the ‘mix’ dial, whereas, in individual mode, the input signals will be isolated to their respective outputs. The master dial allows users to adjust the overall volume of both outputs.

Amazingly, Loopation augments these features further with built-in reverb and tonal effects. By holding the ‘tone’ button whilst rotating the ‘master’ dial, the reverb volume can be adjusted. The tone button can also be used independently to switch between the pedal’s three tone modes: flat, warm, and bright.

Finally, Loopation offers a gain adjustment knob, a 48V phantom power switch tailored for internal microphone amplification, a grounding switch, a line-in switch, and a DC 9V 500mA power input. When combined with the impressive looping features of the pedal, musicians are left with a complete toolkit for full compositional processes, whether this is in the studio, at home, or during a live performance.
