Many players were initially sniffy about Mooer because of its pedals’ price tags and country of origin; several years on, it’s likely that many will now have one.
The Mod Verb offers a fantastic base reverb sound at an attractive price point, complete with modulation options of flanger, vibrato or a phaser to blend in as well.
