MOOER GE150 Amp Modelling & Multi-Effects Pedal Review (Amp & Direct)

[@intheblues]

This unit can be used into an iPad, Audio Interface, or amplifier. There are already some videos of it with an iPad and I don't own one so amp and audio interface it is. 😀 Time Codes: 0:00 - My Custom Presets Backing Track Jam 1:35 - About the Mooer GE150 3:44 - The Mooer GE150 into an amplifier (my custom presets) 9:30 - The Mooer GE150 direct to the audio interface (presets) 14:30 - My Pros & Cons review of the GE150 multi-effects pedal

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

intheblues Pretty cool gadget. I like the sound thru the amp more than into the sound card. It looks easier to use than some of the other units I've seen. I'd like to see the looper, and the wah in action. Thanks for posting.

[@kevmet84]

IR discussion would be interesting.

[@aseriesoftriangleswecalltr6065]

Is it normal that the Mooer ge150 produces background noise in many sounds as soon as I touch or play the strings? I find this disturbing.

[@eddiecorbin2773]

[@ЕжиКкоторыйлюбитбенды]

Hello, Is it have auto-wah? Would it be better than cheap pedal board for DSL1?

[@Xtianisms]

Wow a legitimate contender to the Zoom G1xfour. Hope someone comes up with a head to head comparison of the two. Good job as always Shane

[@maekong2010]

I'm on a budget, living over here in SE Asia. I saw this thing on our local Amazon equivalent for a seemingly reasonable price. This video will help in my final decision. Thanks for the run-through.

[@larryrichardson8882]

Keeping it simple is always the best advice.

[@jimm8594]

Can you run the rhythm and the looper at the same time? I don’t have any friends and sometimes I like to pretend I’m in a band.

[@chiranjivdhar]

Yes you can

[@dafud77]

Thanks Shane, love the video showing the difference with the effects vs direct in. Would love to see the video with different IRs.

[@robertortega8093]

Because of promotions like this is why I choose this unit. This is a simple and great sounding unit. Everything that this gentleman is saying is spot on. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@caleshtcincredibles]

It sounds fine into an amp would make a great fly rig rather than lug a pedalboard around ( I use a Mooer GE300 and absolutely love it!) . I think going direct you always need to get into the settingsand tweak the tones . All good these things have come a long way in the past decade or 2.......great review Shane !

[@gustavoalvarez1496]

That Harley Benton is a beautiful guitar :)

[@jamalabdul2009]

Perhaps it’s the settings but when the Moore Gt150 is going through the amp it sounds fizzy and muffled. Playing it through the sound card sounds much better and brighter to me. I did notice that when you played the intro, it sounded great with the mix. It’s all about tweaking the effects to your liking. Great video Shane!! Cheers!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@niilonevalainen2884]

Could it be possible to run the pedal straight to return of the FX loop?

[@thomasr.5443]

@@niilonevalainen2884 it is indeed. Works fine for me

[@toddflowers8052]

I missed this when you first posted it but, it sounds pretty good for the price. Nice demo mate.

[@rgortega1285]

I've used various pedal effect boards, and about four months or so got this unit. Just remember that even digital circuits produce heat and can disrupt any device. So, I'd suggest at least turning off unit, because when turned on or I should say plug in power supply to wall, will help longtime life. I honestly think the functions of the pedal is outstanding tone shaper. I agree, that going thru an amp is far better than using thru setup. All tones are very tweakable. So for the cost, when on a budget is fair, of course this is only my opinion.

[@JWEmbry-wc7qi]

Hey Shane, I would like to hear a LOT more from you on IR loaders in general - I don't really have a good grasp on the whole IR thingy :^) Thanks for the videos man.

[@peterschmidt9942]

I actually preferred it going into the sound card over the amp (although they went from two extreme's for me). Sounded OK clean, but the distortions were very fizzy. I don't know what it is with the Joyo 5W amp, but it sounds like there's a blanket over it. Maybe it sounds different in the room? Shane, I'd be interested in seeing you put this through your blues deluxe or DSL on clean and see how it sounds.

[@bobclarke8628]

Please do the follow-up on IRs!

[@raphael1395]

Thankyou for this demo, i'm planning to buy 1 and to add this to my gear, just subscribed 🤘

[@2n3chordjams70]

Another great BT of course and at this point I think you are at the point of ANY guitar &/or effects,amp, etc sounds really good.

[@BibleBeltBlues]

Awesome. You are def my go to demo guy....picking up one of these pronto. Thanks.

[@jeffmakor7135]

I'm so impressed with how musical these pedals are getting. Looks like a fun bargain. Thanks for the video.

[@cass2771]

Thanks, Shane. An excellent demo. Yeh, I’d be interested in seeing 3rd part IRS loaded into it. Pity about the fiddling need3 for fine tuning. But it seems like a competent, flexible unit.

[@ErGoyoTV]

Killer deal if it came bundled with some guitar lessons by Shane. Thanks for the review mate. Aside from plastic housing and no XLR output, how did you feel its effects sound quality compared to the GE200?

[@Gtownblues555]

Hey Shane, I really enjoy your videos and playing, very informative. I would like to see and hear you upload some IR’s. I’ve got a Positive Grid Bias Amp Mini and can’t figure it out. If I can get some tips from you I’d greatly appreciate it!

[@roberthickman2953]

Amazing tech these days!

[@adamburger858]

great video brodda...I have this unit and yup..as soon as you update the firmware and put some of your own IR's in it? and holy crap ,I couldn't believe how great it sounded after that! lol

[@Screwhead]

Love that Dr. John poster on the wall!

[@rafaelcostapalmeira]

It can be used like en audio interface to record guitar?

[@Mattsar]

yes

[@Pulse2AM]

I own a Boss GT-1 it took a lot of experimenting to get good tones direct, I imagine this to be the same.

[@InTheSh8]

With being able to load 3rd party IR's it will sound pretty decent immediately!

[@Jonathan-L]

Wow, what an intro!!! :)

[@codylawson311]

1:08 AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!!

[@intheblues]

haha! Thanks mate.

[@indianajb1953]

Good Presentation of the Unit. I have one myself and would be interested in seeing a video about loading external IR's. I have some already and do notice a difference but would like to see what you suggest.

[@Chris-ok9sl]

Gotta go with the amp 👍

[@jeffreyraymondarthur230]

Hi bro i like your demo. Are presets 151 to 200 really empty or you'll find written on top by default

[@rcemusic8949]

Hello shane . Been watching your demos for reference.. Would you recommend this pedal in a live band situation? Thanks in advance

[@Stefan-]

16:01 The GE200 doesnt have XLR´s, the GE300 does though.

[@intheblues]

My bad! You're right mate. I got confused with the Hotone one I reviewed recently.

[@Stefan-]

@@intheblues I thought it might have been the case that you mixed it up. :-)

[@zxql_]

Beautiful HB guitar!

[@Icantdrive55]

Note to self: I need this pedal. FYI Sweetwater does NOT sell Mooer products!

[@abdisoewoto6118]

What do you think, compared to Cerbsrus, I see you do review on these two effects

[@dresdensinn6669]

If not for just purchasing the Zoom G1X4 I may have considered this but I think I'll stick with the Zoom, got some killer sounds out of it after some tweaking.

[@taketwo-e5u]

Why did you change guitars just as we wanted to here the difference? Swapping guitars means we can't compare.

[@brettjames9088]

So you can hear a humbucker and a single coil would be my guess

[@tommyason8764]

That intro made me think of what ever happened to slade, the album😎

[@lucaszembrzuski]

This is so affordable that You could just use it after the attenuator/loadbox as a IR loader with stereo effects, i wonder what latency and parameters does it have in this field.

[@elwrongo]

great demo but all the clean sounds sound like there is some digital crackling going on, maybe input overload?

[@Bob48]

Excellent vid. Thanks so much. I'm sold. It looks like a good entry point into the whole digital route. Love my pedals but room and portability beckons.

[@paulscushschofield1288]

listened through my spark and thought the tones sounded dull..brightened up a little when you went in your soundcard

[@negative_sign_5538]

the only problem that i found is that you cannot sync the two buttons so you have dead gap when you switch presets.....solo to rhythm or opposite

[@amirkhalid5449]

Is it the upgrade on the GE100? If so, I might consider a gear acquisition.

[@thefrenzyfriend7291]

One question Will the OTG carry the audio from aux in? Like can I play a backing track and then record it into phone via USB alongside with my guitar processed sound? Thanks

[@simpatiko6392]

Does it have speakers? Like can you play it without an amp and not using headphones?

[@shayanhyder9275]

nope!

[@ricraymundapale4666]

which is better zoom g1xfour or mooer ge150?

[@robertbmxpa]

did you ever do a follow up with the 3rd party IR's??

[@sambays5838]

Hell yeah!

[@mariomahiligkayjuanna2328]

i like it in the mp too

[@WoodomainJeremyBroun]

Batteries?

[@rgortega1285]

If you understand electronics, one can plug a power supply into the power input jack via the right cord between unit and a battery pack.

[@johnkbijo]

Would I be safer with the ge200? Or is there anything you'd suggest at that price? ( Multi effects processor)

[@juliusmapa6973]

Shane this ge150 have the shimmer effects?

[@joysjbrana]

Do we have octave function in this processor?

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

I do like me a Harley Benton. Got two actually and just as good as, if not better that my Gibson Flying, especially regarding keeping in tune.

[@usta028]

I hope you can at least assign the footswitches to turn effects on or off, that way it can be usefull in a live situation

[@NLongleng]

How much are we talking here?

[@JeremyMcCant]

$180 brand new. Can't beat the price!

[@mikascherhag8909]

Can i plug this directly into a poweramp?

[@TakeFlight]

You didn't show the chorus, flanger, wah, any other weird effects if it has any. Any pedal nowadays has good distortions and clean tones

[@ibrahimtarek2406]

I think there is something wrong with it when it's connected directly.. Like it would sound better but there is something wrong..

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

how does this compare to the Digitech RP360? I also think it's more convenient to have an expression pedal slot to use the one you like so you are not always carrying one.

[@eduhudtwalcker]

I'm thinking of getting one of these, been playing guitar for 30 years and I've had everything from analog to digital, but now I need something cheap and very portable, I've had the Zoom MS-50g and I loved it, but it's one button form factor turned it into a one trick pony on live situations, but it had a lot more effects than this unit, would you guys recommend the Zoom G1X Four or the Mooer GE150, I've read the Zoom has terrible cab and amp simulators and distortions compared to the Mooer, but the Zoom has really great reverbs, delays and modulation effects, on the other side the Zoom runs on batteries and USB power (so it could run off a power bank in theory) while the Mooer has a lot more effects but doesn't run on batteries, has better cab and amp simulators and can combine more affects at a time

[@BoboDetector]

Hey eduardo, can i get any feedback cause i wanna order too. Thanks

[@soundsfromtheneighborhood]

Nice Tokai man!

[@daveharris514]

Great vdo, tks, but it sounds a bit muffled on distortion - like the tone on the guitar is right off?

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

It does in the video but depending on your setup at home it could be different. I have a Carvin Legacy half stack and I ran it through the fx loop and it sounds much different than what we heard here but that is primarily because the cab and speakers (they are vintage 30s) will change the tone the same way and IR would. Also obviously if you have some IRs then it could sound vastly different as well. I do like the models but, as I heard before I bought it, they all sound kind of like they are the same amp each with a different EQ because there is a upper mid range to them all, and sometimes it’s out of character to the amp it is simulating.

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

Also just to say I feel like sometimes there is something that happens to a signal that is recorded by a mic that will also color the tone. Even pedals that I have bought that were direct in recorded during a demo sound different in person. Even when I use a very similar setup or in some cases the exact same guitar (fender strat players series) through monitors.

[@mustafagunerr]

Can we edit and save all 200 tones?

[@aliengrey6052]

This unit sounds brilliant though my headphones, trying to get it working through my computer (Mac) speakers. Plexi is the best I’ve ever heard.

[@SpecialReserve]

Would there be any latency going directly to a laptop, without the DI box?

[@MrGamingvideos123]

Is there any delay when changing preset? Was thinking to buy it for small live gigs

[@vinyl1986]

Hi! Nice video. I m a (french) beginner, how can I turn off the amp and cab? I have a Marshall mg15r gold... thank s ;)

[@rollinlikeariver7756]

Just the intro song was worth it :)

[@frankfro2005]

Hi great video thanks. I am finding a bit of lag in when switching between presets. It seems that the change it triggered by the release or "up" action of the footswitch rather than down. I can't find any information in the manual and was just wondering if there is any way to configure this behaviour of the footswitches. I am finding it really hard to time preset changes when the lag is so noticeable.

[@fredparker3384]

Will this work for bass guitar??

[@anorak211]

Hi, are there any built in presets that will make my electric guitar sound like a 6 or 12 string acoustic / or a 4 string bass?

[@axl1555]

Can you combine two dist together in the same patch? like rat and big muff the same time

[@ElVagabundo777]

I wonder about Mooer GE 150 and Harley Benton DNA fx .. difference? probably no .. just a look .. QUESTION - is it possible to save your Preset (User) settings on any of them?

[@cresshead]

why not connect it via usb rather than the sound card?

[@deolorenzo5862]

Can it be connected to other individual pedals, like an overdrive and distortion pedal? I'm planning to build a hybrid pedalboard.

[@joelreytejero1754]

I have a question Can you connect guitar pedals and mooer ge150 together?

does this have stomp mode where you can turn on and off effects using the foot switches used for tuners?

I always think the same thing of the modelers, they sound like a really good recording of a great guitar sound. There’s just something missing from the tone. Awesome playing as always though!!!

[@eddied8851]

I've owned and tested, in multiple live situations, all of the different versions of this firmware build (for example, the Mooer GE150 is an exact clone, but with a plastic housing). They all would be outstanding units, were it not for a couple of fatal, deal-breaking flaws that I've had the displeasure of experiencing while in live use. So, yeah...NOT good. The first problem I encountered was that, randomly, on some but not all banks where you build your own preset, the modulation effect will reset itself to maximum level, no matter where you set it when you built the preset. Yeah,I know. Weird! And their support team didn't know how to fix it. Again (let's see if I can explain this better): if you set up a preset with a modulation effect (flanger, let's say), and you set the level to "5", and saved it, here's what might happen on some (butagain, not all) banks -- you'll turn off the unit, and then, when you turn it back on, the level on the flanger for that preset will reset itself to a level of "10". Have you ever hit a pedal in a live performance and had one of the values you thought you set to your preference be COMPLETELY out of whack? Yeah, it sucks. The second problem I've found is that the expression pedal can NOT be reliably set to any other values than the default of: Min=0%, Max=100%. This sucks because I, personally, lie to set my volume pedals to Min=50%, Max=100%, so that I have a set rhythm volume (Min) and a set lead volume (Max). Easy, right? Well, these pedals don't seem to be able to do that. No matter how I've tried (and again, only on certain banks), it just goes backto factory default. So anyway, these are things you'll never hear from any of these gear review channels, because odds are, they don't actually use the gear they review enough to find all the practical flaws. What really irked me, though, is that the company's own support team was utterly clueless.
