Fender cloning?

Check out the micro pedals...


Look familiar? Identical in every way to the Mooer ones with the exception of the paint job. I suspect they're just rebadged Mooers, although I have no evidence for that.

    Not quite, looks like they've done the Tip-Ex mod.

    I saw something about these a while back, but not on the fender site. I thought it was a photoshop joke, but seems not.

    I was looking for something on a Premier Guitar IIRC and saw these. I thought Mooer.

    It's a 1590a enclosure - there's a finite number of ways of squeezing stuff into it :D
    A sig-nat-eur? What am I meant to use this for ffs?! Is this thing recording?

    Fair point, actually...the jacks seem to be in slightly different places on the Fender compared with the Mooer Yellow Comp. I stand slightly corrected, maybe.

    Even so, it's so identical I would take a bet they come from the same factory. Disappointing for a company the size of Fender not to design something themselves, especially when they've repeated the same construction mistake. (PCB-mounted pots with no panel support.)

    If I was a smarter guy, I probs could have made a pun there, chance missed!

    I'm not whining about their sound as such, there is just no originality in them, they look the same, and are all just clones (well most...)

    Maybe there should be a thread for best micro pedals... As I have heard good things about the Mooer Ana Echo, I'll search for an existing and then add if I can;t find

    LOL

    Seems a bit weird that they'd clone the ones that nobody cares about (ok, that most probably don't care about).

    Fender has never really made that much of an impression on the pedal market so it's a bit of a wired choice.

    Have the fun of collecting a dinky pedal board is the diversity of pedals - mine's Mooer, Malekko, AMT, PiggyFX, -- I'd like a few TC and Xotinc in there..
