MOOER Taxidea Taxus Digital Preamp - 014

The MOOER Micro Preamp 014 Taxidea Taxus is a compact digital preamp pedal designed to capture the legendary tone, versatility, and dynamic response of the iconic Bad Cat Cougar 50H tube amplifier. As part of MOOER’s acclaimed Micro Preamp Series, the Taxidea Taxus delivers everything from sparkling clean tones and rich edge-of-breakup sounds to powerful high-gain distortion, making it an excellent choice for blues, rock, hard rock, alternative, and modern guitarists.

Built using MOOER’s advanced digital amplifier modeling technology, the Taxidea Taxus faithfully recreates the warm harmonic character, responsive touch sensitivity, and tube-like dynamics of the original amplifier while maintaining an ultra-compact pedalboard-friendly format. The pedal provides exceptional note clarity, smooth sustain, and versatile gain structures suitable for both studio recording and live performance applications.

The pedal features two fully independent channels — Clean and Distortion. The clean channel delivers articulate tones with excellent headroom and clarity, while the gain channel offers everything from crunchy rhythm overdrive to saturated lead sounds with rich harmonics and powerful sustain.

Each channel includes independent Gain, Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls, allowing detailed tone shaping and seamless switching between rhythm and lead sounds. The footswitch can operate in standard On/Off mode or Channel A/B mode, providing greater flexibility during rehearsals and live performances.

An integrated speaker cabinet simulation enables direct connection to recording interfaces, mixers, PA systems, FRFR speakers, and monitoring systems without requiring a traditional amplifier. The cabinet simulation can also be bypassed when used with conventional guitar amplifiers and speaker cabinets.

Constructed with MOOER’s rugged all-metal enclosure, the Taxidea Taxus is built to withstand demanding stage and studio environments while maintaining the compact form factor that has made the Micro Preamp Series a favorite among professional musicians.
