Tiny but mighty

An amazing product, my first cabsim device. The ability to use any IR is a must and Radar has it. Navigating with 1 knob is shockingly well executed, it's intuitive and easy, but still a biiit tedious. Also XLR out would be nice but oh well. With a such tiny sized pedal it's no big deal. METAL! 🤘🤘🤘

Good tool and complement for pedalboards.

It brings very good features for the price, the speakers pre loaded are very useable in general but we can load our own IR's.

It can be conected to a PC by USB mini cable and use it's own software for easy access to the various tweaking possibilities and easy of use options such as: different Power amp valve types, various microphone types with positioning options, equalizations, and manage a total of 36 presets that you can store on the pedal.

It has a stereo headphone jack output which i find very handy if you want to put it in the end of your pedalboard signal chain for practice , it will work as your power amp and cab simulator after your pedals.

In my opinion the pocket size/features/sound quality are the main reasons to buy it. You can't get better than the radar for the price, but there are alot more options to consider.

Amazing for headphone use!

I bought it to use with my Marshall DSL40CR, to replace its bad sounding headphone out.

I use it only to practice with headphones late in the night. I connect it in the effects send of the amp, to use only the preamp of the Marshall, and it does an amazing job! Great sounding, really easy to use, great amount of IR already installed and the possibility to load your own IR's is a nice feature.

The only con in my opinion is the connection with the Mooer software if you have a Mac, which is my case. The software has a MacOS version, but I didn't manage to make it work in 2 different Macs that I have. It worked only on the PC version. I'm in contact with Mooer to try to solve this issue, and although it's not a dealbreaker, it's very annoying if you want to load your own IR's

Overall a very recommended pedal if you want to have killer tones for your guitar headphone sessions!

Very good, simple and compact IR loader.

I use Radar as a IR loader for Ownhammer impulse responses and do not use istock IR at all - they are not so detailed. For such a small product with a low price the quality is very good. I miss only some on-off switch and for my purpose it would be great if it has the possibility for stereo output to feed stereo reverbs and delays.

Very good and simple pedal

Very useful for loading IR's and even using the default ones which come with the pedal. It's small, light, compact and simple to use.

Useful in different circumstances, whether loading AMP Cabinet simulation type IR's or even Acoustic simulation IR's. This is a mainstay on my pedal board and great quality.

Software is slightly clunky, but for a single knob/button pedal, there's not too much to complain about. Keep in mind it does require 12V when planning a pedal board and power

Awesome!

After trying the Iridium by Strymon and not liking that at all I looked for something similar and thought I'd give this Mooer Radar a go. I love it! I just add it after my pedalboard and go direct and the sound is very realistic and amp like. The built in presets give me more than enough options ranging from small Fender combos to bigger 4x12's. A very handy, good sounding, well priced solution with a small footprint.

Jack of all trades

Amazing tech by Mooer. A pedal which is easy to use with your amp or pedals. Very nice and usable interface . you can use the third party irs easily

Lost of sounds

Lots of possible cab sim, I still didn't have time to check everything. Many different type of sounds, good quality but through headphone I could hear some artifacts sometimes at low volume. For the price its really great and I still didnt use the option of loading 3rd party IR
