Mooer Expands the D7 Delay, R7 Reverb to X2

August 6, 2021 · 6 sources

Mooer announced expanded X2 versions of two of its compact pedals: the D7 X2, a dual footswitch stereo delay pedal with 14 built-in delay effects¹, and the R7 X2, a dual footswitch stereo reverb pedal that combines the algorithms of the earlier R7 Reverb and A7 Ambience into one unit². Both are digital pedals in compact enclosures, with full stereo inputs and outputs and a storable preset for each of their 14 algorithms³.

The D7 X2 delay

The D7 X2 carries 14 delay algorithms with a storable preset for each, selected and saved from a Select/Save button. Holding both footswitches scrolls through the presets, with a bank LED that flips from yellow to purple to show the mode³.

A Trail On function lets delay repeats fade out naturally when the pedal is bypassed rather than cutting off abruptly³. Guitar Pedal X's writer estimated the D7 X2's price at around $149³.

The R7 X2 reverb

The R7 X2 takes the format of Mooer's mini R7 multi-reverb and expands it, with twice as many inputs and outputs, modes and footswitches as the mini pedal⁴. Its 14 reverb sounds are split between conventional and ambient algorithm sets, uniting the R7 Reverb and A7 Ambience in one pedal⁵.

An INFINITE function sustains an endless reverb tail, and every setting can go fully wet for ambient playing³⁵.

Power, size and what is in the box

Both pedals run on 9V DC center negative power supplies and draw 300mA each³. The D7 X2 measures 75mm deep by 115mm wide by 33mm high and weighs 0.334kg³. Each pedal ships with an owner's manual, and the D7 X2 also includes a power adapter¹³.

What reviewers said

Reviewers who later covered the R7 X2 found plenty to like. MusicRadar called it "competitively priced, stacked with 14 high-quality sounds with storable presets from a compact form" and "a serious stereo reverb pedal"⁶, while Guitar World's Michael Astley-Brown noted a "reasonably splashy spring with adjustable length via the pre-delay control" among its sounds⁵.
