INTRODUCTION

PREAMP LIV E has been design ed from the ground up to be the ultimate digital preamp modeller for use in a live situation. Ever y control feature has been carefully thought ou t to provide the best experience for live performan ce.
Based on our popular range of MICRO PREAMPS, PREAMP LIVE lets you carry 12 independent preamp channels of your choice everywhere you go for a whole array of different amp tones right at your feet.
Added to the 12 preamp s is a dual position booster, a fully programmable effects lo op, full chann el switching control, MIDI IN and OUT, dedicated headphone connection, multiple o utputs with opt ional cab simulation and IR loading capabilities.
If that wasn’t enoug h, you can also use MOOER’s TONE CAPTURE to capture your own amplifiers a nd even make some experiments to create brand new amplifiers to find that elu sive tone you’ve been c hasing.

MAIN FEATURES

Contains 1 2 independent preamp channels with easy and familiar switching controls
Pre and Post BO OSTER for each cha nnel
Easily acc essible global controls for fast setup in different live situations
Optional i ndependent sp eaker cab sim for each output and IR loading via the software
Fully programmable effects loop with serial and A/B modes. For use with external effects or comb ining with your head/combo’s own preamp
TONE CAPTURE for sampling you r rea l amplifiers tonal characteristics and creating new digit al preamp models
Dedicate d headphone out put for using as a stand-alone practice unit
Fully ma ppable MIDI IN and MIDI OUT for integration with other equipment
USB and Blue tooth for connecting to PC, MAC and MOBILE APP for deep editi ng

PREAMP LIVE has been designed primarily with live performance in mind. The controls have been laid out to feel intuitive, familiar, easy to navigate and adjust on the fly.

For sake of this manual I’ve separated the controls into 3 distinct groups. Let’s have a look at each group seperately.

Channel controls

All of these knobs cont rol parameter settings th at are specific to each Preamp chan nel . The LED’s surroun ding these controls show the current value of each parameter (See “PEDAL LAYOUT” section of this manual).

If yo u are happy with your tone and you want to keep it, then remember to save your changes.

Master Controls

All of the master controls are global settings which are independent from the PREAMP channels and remain fixed during operation unless adjusted. This provides an easy way to incorporate PREAMP LIVE into various different setups without having to adjust the channel settings you’ve saved.

Adj ust s the overa ll output volume of PREA MP LI VE
Adjusts the overall brightness of PREAMP LIVE. This is great for compensating for the difference between dark and bright power amps when using PREAMP LIVE in different venues.
FX LEVEL-
Setup the send level of the effects loop and leave it in place. This allows easy integration of external effects units or even external preamps with the programmable effects loop. More on that in the FX LOOP section of this manual…..
CAB SIM-
Independently tog gle s pea ker cabinet si mul ati on on/off for the differen t outputs of PREAM P LIV E. This makes connecting one output to your on-stage backline (no cab sim) and one output direct to the PA (with cab sim) ver y easy.
Each prea mp channel can hav e it’s own cab sim a ssign ed from a list withi n the offici al software. You can als o import your own IR fi les to replace som e of the default c ab sims.

Footswitches / Channel selection / Saving Presets
There ar e 12 channels in total inside PREAMP LIVE. These are organised in to 3 ba nks with 4 channels on each. So you could conside r eac h ban k almost like a differ ent 4 channel head and each foo tswitch of the PREA MP LI VE as a d ifferent channel within that he ad.

POST BOOST Comes after the PREAMP in the signal chain so it simply adds more volume when engaged. The POST BOOST is completely transparent and has a boost range of 0dB - 6dB.

This allows you t o con nect PREAMP LIVE up to an amplifier he ad or c omb o with 4 cables and use the preamp sec tio n of th e head/ combo instead of the di git al PR EAMP when the FX LOOP is active.
For example, I can use a digital preamp on channels 1, 2 and 4 and use the preamp from my amplifier head or combo on channel 3 by activating the effects loop (in MODE B) on channel 3.
