Mooer Launches the Feature-Laden R7 Reverb

June 4, 2020 · 4 sources

Mooer announced the R7 Reverb, a mini-format digital reverb pedal that packs seven reverb algorithms into its compact enclosure. The maker describes it simply as a "Digital Reverb" with "7 classic reverb effects"¹. The pedal runs mono with a buffered bypass, which GearNews noted is enough for most players who use only one amp when gigging².

The seven onboard algorithms are:

• Room
• Hall
• Church
• Cave
• Plate
• Spring
• Mod²

Each reverb is linked to its own LED on the side of the pedal, so it is fairly simple to see which effect is selected². The selected algorithm can be tailored using high and low cut controls, with HC and LC knobs controlling a high-cut and a low-cut respectively, and deeper tweaking is available through Decay and Pre-Delay controls²³. Level controls the overall volume of the reverb trail, and Decay controls how fast the effect fades³.

The R7 offers one free memory slot per selected reverb effect, seven slots in total, so each algorithm can hold a storable user preset². The pedal uses an external power supply, so there is no battery operation².

GearNews reported an RRP of EUR 99 as of May 26, 2020². Having listened to the demo sounds, its writer Jef concluded:

Mooer later expanded the R7 into the stereo R7 X2, adding a second set of algorithms and more preset storage⁴.
