- Today we take a look at a piece of gear that goes by many names. Micro DI, Mini DI, Mini cab sim.
Whatever you want to call it, and by whatever brand makes it,
I think it has potential to be a very handy, small and affordable backup rig.

I’d never NOT bring my whole rig because the gig promoter told me not to. I’ve had far too many instances of miscommunication to ever trust what anyone says. Every gig, my car is loaded to the hilt with everything I might need.
You missed the most important brand to slap their logo on one of these....Fender!
I've been saying for years that lightweight is the way to go with live stuff.
I've used that pedal in band practice sessions. We also plugged this straight to a mixer for bass guitar, so we would get the low notes from the bass amp and middle frequencies from pa (Motörhead sound). It helped when I played a guitar solos, so it sounded like there was more rhythm on the background.
When a venue tells me they have backline, I bring my entire rig anyways. Almost always do I end up needing it in the end. Follow the Boy Scout Motto: Be Prepared.
Hughes & Kettner’s Red Box has been my go to for around three decades.
I’ve got the Mooer DI and it does it’s job pretty well when you don’t have access to a guitar amplifier in a tightly knit gig!
This was a really practical solution, thank you for sharing! I hope someone without the funds for a true live rig sees this and realizes they can still make due!
I’d been looking at these for exactly this purpose! Thanks for the review!
I had this for awhile and it's actually really dope.
That was the first demo I've been able to discern the cab sim on especially on a tablet.Good one.
I think for live use, it's absolutely OK as is. If you add some light reverb, it's gonna sound a lot less "DI" when it's recorded.
Excellent video! And REALLY LOVE the montage jam! Great riffage!!!!
Used the Mooer version of this DI for years for my backup board, worked great whenever I needed it to. Only traded it out when I got a smaller modeler to backup my main
According to the January 2010 Guitar Player, Gear/Shop Talk column, Gerald Weber (of Kendrick Amplifiers) states: “You never want to operate an amp without a speaker load connected….A “no load” condition can cause high-voltage arcing in the output tube sockets, requiring them to be replaced, and the filter caps (capacitors) in the power supply can also be damaged if the speaker load is suddenly lost.”
This was an interesting concept I’m going to have a look into getting one of these it’s a good idea
Beautiful Woman is a great song! Favorited on Spotify! Thank you for sharing! This video is pretty good, too....
Honestly the Mooer Micro Preamps are such great pedals, the best ones I've played are the US Gold 100 (Friedman) and Fifty-Fifty (5150) - combined with a Mooer Radar IR loader you have everything you need.
The Mooer Radar IR pedal is a better option for this use IMO - you can use your own IRs on the pedal instead of being stuck with a sub-par cab sim.
Monoprice makes them, too. I have 2 of them. For bass, they're great for mixing the PA and bass cab, or for running a bi-amp rig using two separate amps. I also like the fact that the DI and 1/4" plugs BOTH get the amp sim sound, so you can put it into the FX loop on a solid state or hybrid amp and run directly into an FRFR cab AND front of house all at once, and the same goes for guitar multiFX pedals that have great amp and pedal simulation, but shittier cab/speaker emulation (I'm looking at you, Zoom). These things pair perfectly with amps like the Joyo BanTamp series or similar offerings from Orange, Friedman, Engl, and more, as well as Marshall Valvestate or Hartke GT100 heads, or anything from Crate or Ibanez, et al. They also work great for running backing tracks to FOH for bands with only one guitar during solos for bands that use their demo recording DAW projects on a laptop to set met and control monitoring and automation live (which I also highly recommend!).
