I bought a Mooer Radar during lockdown, mainly as it had a cab sim/IR and a headphone output, so I could practice quietly at home. I don't really use it for that anymore, but I left it on my gigging board as a back up, thinking that if my amp died at a gig I could just plug straight in to the desk. Never happened, so I've never used it live.
Until this weekend! Turned up for the gig where there was supposed to have been guitar and bass amps provided. There was a bass amp but no guitar amp! So, no other option, I plugged straight in, using the standard 'Twin Reverb' preset.
Not perfect, and I'd rather have had my valve amp, but I was surprised at how good it sounded through the stage monitors (given the Radar is fairly cheap compared to some other options). If I'd had more time I could have eq'd out some bottom end, but given that I just plugged in a standard preset I was more than happy. I think having an analogue compressor and drive pedal in front helped the feel of it. Fortunately the monitor situation was good and we all got individual monitor mixes which helped (a lot of the time at the venues we play monitoring is not ideal, so I could see that being a problem.)
I told our singer about it afterwards and he had not even noticed that I had no amp on stage! So I'll definitely be leaving the Radar on the pedal board just in case.

I've also noticed the recent Tonex pedal which is a similar size but has proper amp sim (I think) so maybe that's superceded the Radar. Maybe not worth upgrading though for me, as it's just a back up.
So I've got it at the end of my drive pedals, when going into an amp I'll use it so can switch preset 3 on or off (and have a drive pedal loaded in there).
Also, have a clean/crunch amp loaded into presets 1&2 so can use that to go direct or into the return of an amp.
I've been impressed with it although the software is shite. Its actually very easy to switch between the two settings in a live setting and turn the cab on/off if using presets 1/2.
