The ideal modeller for metalheads

Front view of Mooer Black Truck effects pedal

With the Black 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. This all-in-one floorboard modeller has been specially developed for Hard Rock and Metal, offering a comprehensive input section with a compressor as well as overdrive and high-gain circuits, followed by a parametric five-band EQ, a sophisticated modulation section, and the innovative Space module for adding numerous variations of reverb and delay to the sound. 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 a designated volume control and integrated speaker cab simulation that delivers high-quality audio signals for direct recording. The scope of delivery of the Mooer Black Truck also includes a handy transport case.

Clear and intuitive design

The effects sequence starts on the right-hand side with a compressor and tone control for shaping the input signal, and continues with a natural-sounding overdrive (OD), a high-gain module with amazing gain reserves, and a mid-boost, ideal for all classic to modern Hard Rock and Metal sounds, alongside a noise gate to keep things quiet during any gaps. The subsequent five-band EQ, which covers a frequency range from 100Hz to 4kHz, allows the output signal to be effectively boosted or attenuated by up to 18dB, while the Mod module offers just the right phaser, tremolo, and flanger effects for the respective musical genre in addition to sub-divisions for creating rhythm pattern variations. 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 Space module adds reverb and delay/echo effects to the sound via the designated switches.

Live and Preset modes

Since no multi-effects pedal is complete without a display, the Mooer Black 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 Black 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 activated and deactivated using the corresponding illuminated footswitches, whereas Preset mode alternatively allows the five footswitches to be used to recall up to five previously saved presets. Users can easily switch between the operating modes by pressing the Tap and Space switches simultaneously.

All important features on board

Featuring six of the most important effects in a compact floorboard unit with a simple and intuitive layout, the Mooer Black Truck is the ideal solution for shaping and creating full-fledged Metal 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, authentic Metal sound, and optimum selection of effects allow the Mooer Black Truck to be flexibly used for a wide variety of applications and effortlessly cover a wide sonic palette – from transparent and warm-sounding settings through to fire-breathing Metal tones.

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 for metalheads

The versatile Black 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 Black Truck will always make a convincing case thanks to its authentic Hard Rock and Metal sound, lively dynamics, and an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that does not require users to read through lengthy operating manuals beforehand. The Mooer Black Truck can be operated using any conventional 9V adapter (available separately) for connection to a power source.

Presque une fausse bonne idée
FuryoPrince 06.11.2020
Un bon pod pour de la gestion de certains presets en Live, mais alors pour de l'enregistrement en DI ou en 4-Cable sur une carte son, c'est la boucherie. Le son est vraiment trop synthétique, surtout pour le prix.

Quant aux presets en Live, la plupart des effets sont en killswitch; exemple, le switch Reverb / Delay / Reverb+Delay, et peu importent vos presets ou votre trifouillage en jam, c'est l'effet sélectionné par le switch trois positions qui sera utilisé. C'est-à-dire que si vous voulez faire un son clean avec de la reverb, et un son disto solo avec du delay, bah en fait en passant de l'un à l'autre, ce sera soit de la reverb pour les deux, soit du delay pour les deux... A moins que vous jouiez pieds-nus et que vous preniez le temps de changer le switch entre deux sons, mais ça m'étonnerait franchement.

Bref un produit très moyen et assez surprisé.

Standalone oder 4 Kabel Methode!
NoobHead 20.10.2018
Ich war auf der Suche nach ein paar Pedale für meinen Peavey Verstärker (EQ, Delay, und noch einen Boost) und bin auf den Black Truck gestoßen! Kaufargument war das er sowohl im Standalone betrieb (Gitarre - BlackTruck - Kopfhörer) als auch über eine 4 Kabel Methode verwendet werden kann (Comp, OD, HighGain und EQ vor dem Amp - Mod und Delay im FX Loop).

Der Sound ist dabei ehr für die Metal-Heads gedacht. HighGain in Richtung Ami Sound und den OD oder EQ zum Pushen und man hat einen richtig schönen Mesa Sound (würd ich schon fast behaupten ;)) OD kann man hierbei als TubeScreamer betrachten.

Delay und Mod erfüllen seinen Zweck! Ganz cool dabei ist das man über ein Knopf die DelayTime verändern kann. Es gibt natürlich bessere Pedale hierfür aber für den Preis ist es einfach TOP!

Ich hab in den FX Loop zusätzlich noch ein Chorus Pedal und auch das funktioniert super.

Verarbeitung ist mehr als top! Nur Sie hätten auf jeden fall ein Netzteil mit verkaufen können.

Vielseitig - nach Startschwierigkeiten
Hütte 22.03.2019
Zunächst: Musste das Neugerät zweimal zur Reparatur einschicken, da einmal der OD kaputt war und das zweite Mal der Tap Schalter ein lautes Knacken in die Signalkette überliefert hat. Hatte wohl einfach Pech.

Das Gerät hängt jetzt an einem 5150 LBX II mit 15 Watt über 4-Kabel-Methode.

Den OD benutzt ich lediglich als Booster für High-Gain. In der Einstellung verändert er den Gitarrenklang nicht erkennbar, also genau was er tun soll. Mehr kann ich zum OD nicht sagen, der Gainregler steht bei mir immer auf null.

Der Kompressor klingt super, wobei es echt schade ist, dass der nur über den Kippschalter nutzbar ist. Wenn man live also zwischen mit und ohne Kompressor hin und her wechseln will, kommt man nicht daran vorbei mit Presets zu arbeiten.

Der High-Gain Treter klingt billig. Da fehlt einfach komplett die Röhrenwärme und wirklich dynamisch lässt er sich auch nicht spielen. Dafür erzeugt er ein ziemlich differenziertes High-Gain, was in Verbindung mit dem Noise-Gate für einige Nieschen sicherlich interessant sein kann. Mein Geschmack ist er trotzdem nicht.

Zum EQ brauch man nicht viel sagen. Den benutze ich als Volume- und Mid-Boost für Soli. In anderen Anwendungen dürfte er ebenfalls gut funktionieren.

Die Modulationssektion ist die vermutlich stärkste des Geräts. Vor allem für den Chorus/Flanger suche ich aktiv nach neuen Einsatzmöglichkeiten, seitdem ich mein Setting gefunden habe, weil er so verdammt gut klingt.

Die Spacesektion überzeugt mich dagegen nur mäßig. Vor allem das Delay klingt ziemlich blechern über den Effektweg in Verbindung mit dem High-Gain des Amps. Interessanterweise tut es das nicht mit dem High-Gain-Pedal. Bin mir nicht wirklich sicher, ob das evtl. an meinem Effekt-Loop liegt. Immerhin: Für Cleans wirkt die Sektion echt Wunder.

Insgesamt kann man sich hiermit aber die vermutlich wichtigsten Sounds für Metal in einem kompakten, erschwinglichen Paket abholen. Das sollte das Hauptkriterium für den Kauf des Black Trucks sein, was es auch für mich war. Wer auf hohe Effektqualität hohen Wert legt, sollte allerdings eher zu einzelnen Tretern und etwas tiefer in die Tasche greifen.

Ha sustituido mi pedalera al completo
PedrockF9 09.05.2020
El High Gain para metal moderno suena bastante decente. La configuracion es muy intuitiva. Personalmente con esta pedalera y mi cabezal 6506 mini me he montado un equipo para metal mas que decente por muy buen precio. Tienes sonido de sobra para bolos y llevas practicamente todo en una mano
