Leo, thank you soooo much for your great review -- and doubly so for your explanation of the Firmware Update (beginning at 11:17, for those facing update problems). I received my GE 150 yesterday and wasted several hours unsuccessfully attempting to get it to work. Thankfully, I eventually remembered that your review, which I had bookmarked, contained lots of useful advice and decided to watch it again. I'm glad I did and really appreciate your insights!
I'm a late arriver at your channel; I just subscribed today. I wish I'd found you earlier but better late than never. And, as someone mentioned on another of your videos, you are one-hell-of-a player. Much respect, all the way around.
l disagee with you about playing live with this ,the other guitar player in my band uses one for his pedalboard and it sounds just fine . You can gig with this no problem it actually sounds good as any pedal in a band mix . I have the big one GE300 and it's really amazing . Thanks for the video review .
Ok! It is just not right for me, as I tend to switch many different effects while playing and the two switches of the GE150 are too few... Thank you for your comment and your interest in my channel!!
I was thinnking about getting this for small live gigs. Can you tell me if there is any noticeable lag while changing presets? I was thinking of just changing the preset when say I need a little bit of an OD
@@sergiopusep hi, yes I did install driver from mooer. it is available on their official website. plus you need to config your daw properly in order for the recording to work. but that's another topic
You gentlemen make some really nice music. I want to thank you for your review of the moore ge150 multi-effects. And when you do the unboxing I want to thank you for showing everything that came. I don't know how many reviews I've seen on this pedal and no one ever mentioned or show that either unboxing if it came with a power supply. And never once did I ever get a reply or or response about the power supply when I asked. Thank you again
Thank you John, really appreciated!!! I try to do my best to let you know the most I can about the gear I review. Thank you also for your appreciation of my music...this is really important for me!!!
Thank you! As far as I know the Mooer does not offer this option (unless a firmware upgrade has introduced it): more info here: th-cam.com/video/5F8YAarIA78/w-d-xo.html Thank you!
Thanks for that great review and play! Also congrats to your new studio, now space is no issue anymore?! I like that Ge, but if no usb recording then makes no sense..you also should be able to run it over a usb power pack like Boss devices so you can practice and gig over any pa or radio, blu tooth speaker etc..and can i switch between my pre sets with the 2 footswitch buttons...if not so i would tend for the boss gt 100, little more euro, but may be better, may be...sound comparison we don`t have!? Thanks for sharing!
Hi, well, actually I was not able to use neither of the 2 USB output to send audio to the computer...but maybe there's a problem with my setup or I'm not smart enough... :)... unfortunately I don't have the GT 100 to make a sound comparison, I only have the GT 1000, that in my opinion offers a lot more, but obviously for a lot more money... Thank you for your message!
As regards the new studio...thanks to the new desk I've gained a lot of space...I'm really enjoying the new configuration...thank you for your interest!
Great review & playing. You are spot on about the device but for my small home set-up the clean sounds are really quite good. Manual is crap & updating firmware/software hit and miss on Win10
Hi, thank you Phil! The sample rate is the number of samples of audio taken per second, measured in kHz. For example, 44.1 kHz (that is the sampling rate use by CD), or 48kHz, that is the sampling rate I typically use for my recordings. Thank you for your question!
Hi Roberto, I don't have the GE 200, but from the tech spec I would say that they should sound pretty similar, in fact, both of the units have: 98db dynamic, 512 sampling points, 24b/41khz ADA conversion.
I'm having the similar issue! I can use it as interface the output work perfect I can hear backing tracks from the Computer but no guitar input into the DAW, am I missing something? I'm connecting with the micro USB port PS: thank you for the update info otherwise I would be stuck without knowing how to use it!
Hi, I'm sorry, but unfortunatelly I don't have updates (in the video, I've record the GE 150 using the audio output and via USB connection). My experience with a MAC is that with the USB Type B, I was able to use the editor software, but the GE 150 was not seen as an audio interface, on the other hand, using the micro USB the MAC recognize the GE 150 as an audio interface, but I was not able to record audio signal. I've not spent too much time to solve these problems so maybe I'm doing something wrong...nevertheless in my opinion the manual does not help... and is not clear: in fact at page 22 there is written "Notice: The type-B USB port is for software editing, firmware updates, and OTG port for direct recording" and at page 5 "USB:Type B USB port. Connect a USB cable to a PC computer for direct recording, software updates or preset editing using the dedicated editor software"...basically pag 5 and page 22 are saying different things... I'll let you know in the case I'm able to solve the problem Thank you for your message!!
I also had this issue. I am using Mac and Cubase and I found from GE-150 control panel (accessed from Device setup) that the input enabled check mark was not checked. When I checked it, I got all working as expected.
How good are the effects such as reverb, delay and chorus? I would only use it for that kind of effects, so I don’t care about cab simulation or anything else
Hi Emilio, for the price they are nice. The delays in my opinion are a little bit too much "intrusive", so I tipically set their level pretty low. Thank you for your question!
Hi, I've compared the NUX vs the Valeton vs the Mooer GE 150 in this video: th-cam.com/video/5F8YAarIA78/w-d-xo.html Maybe it could help you in your choice! Thank you for your message and I will check out the voice volume.
Thanks for the nice reivew! Can the loop be saved on the device? I think as per the manual the USB Type-B port can be connected to a PC for recording (see: v1.cecdn.yun300.cn/fsite_1804040320%2FGE150_Manual_EN_.pdf). Have you used it to record on a smart phone via the micro USB port? If that is possible, then I think saving the loop on the phone is also good, just in case when you get a nice riff and wnat to get it down for later fine-tuning. Of course, not a major problem, as these days you can just do a video recording on a smart phone!
Hi, in my opinion the manual is not clear: in fact at page 22 there is written "Notice: The type-B USB port is for software editing, firmware updates, and OTG port for direct recording". My experience with a MAC is that with the USB Type B, I was able to use the editor software, but the GE 150 was not seen as an audio interface, on the other hand, using the micro USB the MAC recognize the GE 150 as an audio interface, but I was not able to record audio signal. I've also tried to connect the GE 150 to an iPad and Garange Band was not recognizing the GE. I've not spent too much time to solve these problems so maybe I'm doing something wrong...nevertheless in my opinion the manual does not help... As regard the looper, I didn't try and I'm currently not in my studio for few days...I'll let you know...please let me say that the manual is very poor also for the looper... Thank you for your message!!!
Sir, I am currently choosing between zoom g1x four and mooer ge150. Which do you think is the best multi fx for me? This is my first time buying multi fx which is why I want it to be worth it. My genre is indie rock and soft rock. Thank you sir, I love your reviews.
Hi, first of all thank you for your appreciation in my work, it really means a lot to me!!! I did a direct comparison between the GE 150 and the G1x four, that you can check out at this link: th-cam.com/video/dWe9xwVjoZ4/w-d-xo.html Finally, I would slightly prefer the Zoom, but it's just my personal opinion and maybe the video comparison can help you to get your own point of view. Thank you once more, and please let me know if I can help somehow and, if you want, please share with us your final decision.
Hi, Leo. Thank you for your information about Mooer ge 150. I have a problem with recording in iPhone by OTG. The sound is not recorded in my smartphone. I dońt know why. Please, can you help me? Thanks.
Hi Javier, I'm sorry, but I have the same problem...I was not able to resolve it...In the case I find a solution I will for sure let you know! thank you for your message and your interest in my channel!
Thank you Daniel! Well, the song is called “more generic”. If you are interested in other songs of mine, you can check out a playlist following this link: th-cam.com/play/PL5d6_Yq6oCrwG29IBNgRPllUrdlQkjfU6.html
Hi, actually I was not able to make the OTG work (probably my fault) so I record it using the analog out of the GE 150 and going in my Apollo interface. Thank you for your question and your interest in my channel!
The update procedure is clearly explained here: www.mooeraudio.com/companyfile/GE150-Downloads-146.html It was a piece of cake for me to do it with a PC/Windows 10. To record a track it's enough to connect the GE150 to the PC through the USB-OTG port. It works fine already with the simple Audacity! 😎
I couldn't find this page you posted anywhere, do you know if I have ti download all windows versions and do for all, or just the last update for windows? I really just want to get to writing, next time I'm paying the Xtra 300 for english and proper support lol
This is a very good suggestion. It should work, even if I’m not sure because I have not tried... I will buy an adapter and let you know. Thank you for your message!
Ciao, ho una Line6 HX Effect, la possono collegare alla GE150? Così da usare la GE150 solo per la simulazione degli amplificatori per poi andare diretti nella PA
Hi Mario, I think that your question is pretty interesting, so let me answer in English so that other people can join our conversation. I don't have an HX Effect, but these are my considerations: The GE150 does not have an effect loop, and does not have stereo inputs. This means that you have to put the HX before or after the GE150. If you put in front of the GE150 you are obliged to go mono and you are gonna have all the time and modulation effects before the amp...this could not be the ideal solution, for instance, if you use the distortion of the GE150. On the other hand, if you put the HX after the GE150, you are gonna have a stereo signal and time and modulation effects after the amp. This solution should work, even though I'm not 100% sure, as I can not experiment with this solution by myself. Thank you for your question and your interest in my channel!
Hi, that's correct: in the demo song the reverb is not the Mooer one. You can hear some reverbs in the more sound section of the video. The Mooer reverb are fine, I was using the DAW one in the demo song, because I prefer to be able to decide the amount of reverb of the demo song while mixing. Thank you for your message!
