Mooer Two Stones

A "US boutique" spirit in pedal format: the preamp as the heart of the pedalboard

The TWO STONES belongs to the preamp pedal family: it does more than just add distortion; it aims to shape your sound like a true amplification stage, with level, dynamics, and full equalization. The "US boutique" approach refers to a sonic aesthetic highly appreciated by guitarists: definition, sharp attacks, solid low end, and highs that remain clear without becoming harsh.

Thanks to its compact format and metal enclosure, it naturally takes center stage on a pedalboard, placed before an amp (in the input or a dedicated section) or close to a recording chain when you seek a coherent and reproducible tonal foundation.

Who is the TWO STONES for, and in what contexts does it make a difference?

This pedal is aimed at guitarists looking for a versatile and reliable solution to build their sound daily without relying on a specific amp. The dual channel is especially useful live for switching from a clean/rhythm sound to a more driven tone, or for having two EQ signatures adapted to two guitars (single coil / humbuckers) or two songs within the same set.

Regarding styles, the "US boutique" DNA fits very well in genres where definition and dynamics are crucial: modern blues, rock, pop, indie, funk, country, worship, and any context where you want an articulated drive and a "breathing" clean. In the studio, it's an effective tool to quickly find a consistent tone from one take to another, while in rehearsal and on stage, it secures your sound when the backline changes.

Key features: two channels, full equalization, and speaker simulation

The TWO STONES focuses on musician-oriented ergonomics: two channels to organize your sounds, and a 3-band EQ per channel (bass, mids, treble) to precisely sculpt your place in the mix. This full EQ is a real plus: it allows you to tame an overly bright guitar, open the mids to stand out in a band, or tighten the lows to avoid a "muddy" effect with heavy distortion or lower tunings.

The built-in speaker simulation is designed to simplify modern setups: it helps achieve a more natural and "finished" sound when playing without a traditional guitar cabinet, or when you need to send a controlled signal into a broadcast chain. The result: a more coherent tone, with a feel closer to a cabinet mic capture, and better compatibility with compact configurations.

The sound

The TWO STONES' sonic signature is characterized by a clear, tight, and detailed foundation, typical of "US boutique" tones. Attacks stand out well, chords remain clear, and the 3-band EQ per channel allows fine control over presence and density. On a more restrained channel setting, you get an expressive clean, ideal for nuanced playing and modulation/delay pedals downstream.

By pushing the other channel, the pedal can become a platform for a more assertive drive: the grain generally stays articulated, with a controlled low end and good touch responsiveness. This approach highlights the right hand, guitar volume, and how you pick the strings, while maintaining a usable sound within a band mix.
