MOOER Green Mile Overdrive Pedal Review

MOOER is a pretty new company in the pedal world known for making their pedals tiny in comparison to other brands like BOSS, for example.  The size of the pedal does not impact the tone at all, they actually sound fantastic.  This MOOER Green Mile pedal is based on a TS9 with a “hot switch” option for more gain and more thick mid frequencies, which is perfect for single coil pickups.  I have tested out hundreds of Overdrive pedals over the last 6 years or so and this ranks right up there in terms of TS9 tone.  They are well built, well packaged and you’re able to fit more Mooer pedals on regular size board than with stock sized pedals which may make it easier to downsize your pedalboard from epic proportions to something you can actually carry with one hand.  Mooer also make a selection of pedal cases – much like the Pedaltrain gear, but with a smaller, more compact design than Pedaltrain.  MOOER have hit a home run on numerous pedals and for their price, there’s no real reason to go spend more than you have to, to get the TS9 tone.  Not all of their pedals are amazing, but this Green Mile overdrive delivers the goods and I really love the sound of it for Blues, Rock, lead solos, and rhythm parts.

I have given the MOOER Green Mile Overdrive a 4/5.  The main reason it didn’t get a 5 was because it’s basically a copy of another pedal.  That said, it does it well, so well that the price makes it way more attractive than many other pedals on the market.
