A Flawed But Great Sounding Headphone Amp - Mooer P1 Prime

[@stonecoldval]

I have one and use it live. Ya gotta get the 4-button BlueTooth footswitch to control it live....

[@zoomzoom3950]

exactly. With my P1 and F4 I use a powered USB hub, wireless guitar systems (input and output), and wireless in-ears. The entire rig fits in a small case the size of kids lunchbox. Sounds great and works great. Easiest load in/out ever.

Thanks for the review. Now, about the using the Mooer unit for an interface. This is a $99 dollar unit. I'm not expecting it to turn silver into gold, no matter what the manufacturer's claim is. I am not buying this unit for it's looping, drum, sounds, or it's interface. I have invested in quality gear for these tasks. This unit is just a convenient, great sounding little headphone amp with a few bells and whistles. There are devices that do many tasks well, in the field of music, but they usually cost more than $99. Don't get me wrong, if I can get blood out of a turnip, and find top pro quality gear for a cheap price, I'm all for it. Lol! Thanks again for this review, and much love for this channel!!!

Thanks mate 👍

Great vid mate. Thx. I recently acquired the NUX Mighty PRO< which is an updated version of the one you reviewed not so long ago. It has way better connectivity options than what you just showed and is 25% cheaper. Lucky I bought that one and not the P1 Prime.

Very nice arrangement for this P1 Prime demo, you definitely gave it a good shakeout. Seems too pricey versus the competition. Didn't you have problems with WASAPI a few years back, can't remember with what hardware? Nux Mighty Plug looks a much better option just by using ASIO, which gives users practical buffering settings.

That’s why I changed using a Mac, anything class compliant. Will work straight away. Windows equals drivers

[@bjarkenielsen8515]

The t-shirt choice is spot on, though

[@laurencehastings7473]

You should play the Fender Tele more often it sounds just great.

He is getting spoiled for choice 😄

You might have eagle eye cherry after you for the acoustic rhythm 😀😀😀😀😀

I've had my Prime P1 + F4 system for several months, it works great for me. I use a wireless system for my guitar (into the P1 and another wireless out of the P1), and wireless in-ears, with it; the P1 sounds massive and glorious into my PA as well. I can easily gig this rig, but I'm still building a software plugin / computer rig. I enjoy my tube amps at home, but these digital / computer rigs are too convenient and sound great. Most people in the audience don't care what gear we use; once we have gear we like that sounds great, I certainly don't care that I'm not using a tube amp and pedals, and all the load in/out and transport tube amps require.

This Mooer doesn't play well with others, meaning this one is not on my list to even bother trying it. Thanks for the review, John. Loads of red flags.

[@muleman72]

Mooer are bringing out a rival to the Spark amp

[@fretworkband3204]

Aye, yes…JEEVES! The man is a proverbial thorn in my backside. Are you really sure you want to do that sir? Ha! Well as far as this Mooer goes I am sure I don’t. Thanks for the Behringer suggestion. Wasn’t aware of it. And you can’t go wrong with NUX either. They seem well thought out.

[@lesshorter616]

Reminds me of the Korg Pandora

Seems you don't realize the P1 is designed for Acoustic, Electric Guitar OR Bass; i.e., that's why it asks if you're sure you want to load the firmware. I use mine for electric guitar, and I have no need to switch firmware, if I did I'd buy another P1. I run my output from the P1 into my audio interface at line level, no ASIO issues at all. I think you're expecting too much from this device. It delivers a wide range of sounds, amps, cabs and effects for an electric guitar that sound good, in a very small package. I also have software plugins for recording, and I'm building a computer based rig. I got the P1 + F4 for a live backup, and I could easily gig this rig! Even my computer based rig will be bigger and more complex than this Mooer P1 system. If you use the device as intended instead of how you want to use it, perhaps you'll be more satisfied with what it is and does? SMH The Prime P2 is available for sale in China, looking forward to see what it offers beyond my P1. Thanks for the demo!

You don't call this a Headphone Amp.. This is a portable amp
