Modern German-style metal tone in a micro pedal. The Mooer 016 Phoenix Micro Preamp is a homage to modern, German-designed metal amps: punchy dark low mids, a tight low end and plenty of gain. The clean channel runs from crystal clear to crunch. Like every Mooer Micro Preamp, it has two channels, its own speaker cabinet simulation and two footswitch modes – all in a tiny metal box.
Why customers choose it
Who it is for
Guitarists who want a specific amp sound on a small board, players who record at home through an audio interface, and gigging players who plug straight into the PA at church, college or club shows.

Good to know
- Power supply is not included – use a 9V DC centre-negative adapter that gives at least 300 mA (Mooer recommends its Micro Power).
- For delay, reverb or modulation, put those pedals between the preamp output and the power amp or effects return.
- This is a preamp only – it has no built-in delay or reverb, even though the maker’s spec list mentions them.
FAQ
Can I use it without an amp?
Yes. Turn on the cab sim and connect to an audio interface, powered monitor or PA.
Can I use it with my own amp?
Yes – into a power amp or the effects return of your amp. Mooer recommends a tube power amp for the best result.
