Sweet stereo harmony

The Mooer Harmony X2 effects pedal uses two independent pitch shifters to generate two-voice harmonies from the original guitar signal, which can be flexibly spread in the stereo image at separately adjustable volume levels and instantly activated or deactivated via the left and right footswitches according to the user's needs. In contrast to harmonic shifting pedals with a simpler design, the sophisticated Mooer Harmony X2 allows users to select from a variety of keys and major or minor scales to prevent awkward tones from occurring, especially when creating complex three-part harmonies. This is perfectly complemented by two different operating modes: A stereo mixed mode for freely positioning both harmony voices in the stereo image and an individual mode that enables the dry signal and the harmony effects to be separately sent to the integrated dual-channel outputs. Direct access to all of the parameters is ensured by five robust, easy-to-use control knobs on an intuitive user interface.

One instantly becomes three

The initial harmony settings of the Mooer Harmony X2 can be defined in just a few steps: The desired key is selected by pushing the Save button once, then pressing both footswitches simultaneously, and scrolling through the available keys using the footswitches – with a major scale being indicated by a red light, a minor scale by a blue light, a natural scale by a single illuminated LED, and a raised or lowered scale by two illuminated LEDs. Users can subsequently select the intervals via the Note L and Note R control knobs, separately adjust the volume level of each of the two channels via the Left and Right volume controls, dial in the original guitar signal using the Dry control knob, and finally press the Save button to store these harmony settings as a preset. Whether it is operated as part of a pedalboard or within an FX loop – the Mooer Harmony X2 is usually best placed before a distortion unit in the signal chain in order to prevent inaccurate pitch tracking and loss of clarity.

For seasoned guitarists

The Mooer Harmony X2, which is primarily aimed at guitarists who have a basic understanding of the theory of harmony in Western music, will allow all those who master the corresponding intervals, major and minor keys, and scales to create wonderful harmonies and fascinating triads. Thanks to its ability to place two pitch-shifted harmony voices on top of a signal, the Mooer Harmony X2 is eminently suitable for one-guitar trios who want to extend their range of harmonic possibilities for guitar solos and throughout the entire performance. But it doesn't stop there: The versatile Mooer Harmony X2 pedal will also allow a second dimension to be added to the tone of single-note rhythm guitars just as easily, and help aspiring lead guitarists to hone their skills playing two-part solos and gain an in-depth understanding of complex three-part harmonies in a fun way.

About Mooer

Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.

Spiced-up solos and single-note lines

The Mooer Harmony X2 will come into its own in a wide range of applications: Solo guitarists will be able to play full-blown three-part licks à la Brian May and the Scorpions all on their own live on stage, or harmonise their solos in a dynamic way by playing the single-part lick first and subsequently adding the second voice on the left channel and the third voice on the right channel via the footswitches during the repetition to create a chord for the chorus. The Mooer Harmony X2 even allows simple single-note licks to be transformed into captivating harmonic sound textures by dialling in a harmony as a second voice and combining this with a slight delay and reverb. Guitarists who want to create sounds with interesting depth can use the harmony pedal in a stereo setup and refine the harmony voices with a ping-pong delay, a reverb, and a mild chorus, or even combine it with a volume pedal and dial in a higher feedback to generate complex ambient soundscapes that listeners would only expect from a real synth.

Lots of features, but hard to use in practise

I bought this pedal to try to replace a TC Electronics Quintessence, which I find to be very good but lacking some output volume and the finer 3 part harmony control that's available on the X2. While the X2 is louder and can be used to dial in nearly any three part harmony you want, there are so many practical issues with this pedal that I cannot recommend it.

The main problems are as follows:

- There is clear latency, and the tone of the harmonised voices is warped in my view.

- The controls for selecting key and tonality are not the smoothest, because all the space for dials on the pedal has been taken up by controls for volume of each shifted voice and the dry signal. To try to compensate, Mooer has assigned a simultaneous tap of both footswitches to a menu mode where you can scroll through them faster. In doing this however, you now need to press the left and right footswitch *individually* to engage or disengage bypass mode!? It's worth saying at this point that, because ease of switching key has been sacrificed to include individual voice mix controls, in order to get the most out of this pedal you would really want to be using both available harmony voices. But then you run straight into the reality that there is no one bypass switch. Each to their own, but for my purposes this is a serious setback.

- The biggest dealbreaker for me has to be the following. Irrespective of which settings the NOTE L and NOTE R dials are set to, upon changing key or tonality the pedal will "forget" your settings and default to a +3L, -4R voicing in major keys, or a +3L -3R voicing in minor keys. In order to retain your settings for these dials, you have to move them forwards and backwards by one notch. This is really frustrating!? Though there is a table in the manual showing these settings, nowhere does it say that they will be defaulted to over the settings that you set yourself for each voice. Perhaps you could override this with the preset setting of the pedal, but I'm so disappointed already that I haven't bothered trying. What if there's a third voicing I want!?

To conclude, if you really like triads (i.e. the "default" major/minor harmony voicings) or are willing to bend down and reenter your settings each time, *and* you are willing to forego some tone *and* accept some latency, this pedal can do a lot. But, I can't accept those things - I'll stick to my current pedal. Sorry to sound so negative! The build quality is good, at least.
