MOOER GE 150 Pro / Amp Modeling & Multi Effects

Back in 2019, MOOER released its GE150 multi-effects pedal to significant critical acclaim, offering guitarists a wide range of amp simulations and effects in a compact package. However, with innovation within the guitar pedal industry being at an all-time high, the company has recognized that GE150 users need more flexibility and control from the pedal. Ultimately, this has led to MOOER’s release of the new GE150 Pro series. Building upon the impressive features of the original GE150, the GE150 Pro provides guitarists with 200 factory effect presets, ensuring that there is an effects chain for any musical scenario. Furthermore, 55 high-precision preamps and 26 high-quality cabinet simulations are provided, meaning that any effects chain can be perfected with its optimum amplification tone. The pedal even supports the loading of up to 10 third-party IR cabinet simulations, adding to the versatility of the GE150 Pro’s functionality. Perhaps the most notable upgrade that existing GE150 users will notice is that the GE150 Pro features four footswitches rather than two. This has also come paired with an upgraded effect chain control logic, allowing guitarists to utilize all four footswitches for enhanced flexibility when switching between different patches during performance. Multi-function purposes have also been built into the pedal’s UI, once again meeting the growing control system demands of guitarists creating on the cutting-edge of music technology. In addition to its four footswitches, intuitive UI, and high-quality 2.8" LCD screen, the GE150 Pro also includes an expression pedal, a staple within the GE series. This pedal can be mapped to effect parameters for dynamic live control and also features a "toe tap" feature to switch the mapping "Expression" to "Volume" control mode. Similar to its younger sibling, the GE150 Pro also has an 80-second stereo looper function built into it, along with 40 drum machine patterns and 10 different metronome modes. Best of all, all of these rhythmic and looping features can be controlled through the four multi-purpose foot switches, ensuring that loop improvisations and backing tracks can be seamlessly integrated into both live performances and practice sessions. This MOOER GE Series pedal wouldn't be complete without its USB-C output, allowing for real-time OTG recordings. The same USB port can also be used to connect the device to a computer, allowing the user to manage tone and effect presets, load third-party cab IRs, and update the GE150 Pro with the latest firmware update. Above all, the GE150 Pro is a welcome addition to the GE family, with the four multi-purpose footswitches offering a particularly impressive upgrade. As expected, the device includes all industry-standard connections, including basics such as a mono ¼" input and stereo ¼" outputs, as well as more specialized features such as an ⅛" auxiliary input and a ⅛" headphone output.
