MOOER Expands Its Multi-Effects Range with the GE150 Max and GE150 Plus

Guitar effects processor with touch display and multiple footswitches for sound control.

Since its initial release in 2019, MOOER’s critically acclaimed GE150 has seen several significant improvements, including through the GE150 Pro and the more recently announced GE150 Plus. However, the latest addition to the series, the GE150 Max, includes some of the most impactful additions to the series so far, all while staying true to the device’s existing functionality.

For existing GE150 users, the first thing they will notice is that, rather than having just two multi-functioning footswitches as with the original, the GE150 Max includes 8. Four of these footswitches are dedicated to switching between the four presets of each bank, whereas a further two are used to switch between banks. This is in contrast to other MOOER multi-effects pedals, where pressing two preset switches would typically shift the banks, with the new system making bank changes more accessible during a performance.

The remaining two footswitches are used to activate the tuner function, the 80-second looper system, and to determine the universal tap tempo. Despite these control mechanism changes, the GE150 Max has retained its predecessor's range of preloaded tones and effects. 50 preset banks are provided, each with 4 presets, totalling 200 customizable slots.

Many different models of delay, reverb, and modulation effects can be applied to these slots, but most importantly, the device comes with 55 preamp models, each of which is based on nonlinear modeling technology, helping to produce realistic emulations of classic amplifier tones. However, users are not limited to these tones, as the GE150 Max also supports MOOER's MNRS amp sampling system, in addition to third-party IR files for cabinet emulations, allowing users to greatly expand the device's tones through uploading their own.

To visualize the tones and effects that are currently loaded, the device is fitted with a 3.5" LCD color display, providing real-time visual feedback on the effect chain and each module's parameters. To edit these, the "Select" and "Mode" dials can be used, enabling guitarists to quickly create their own effects chains and then save them. Interestingly, the effect chains also support MOOER's new CTRL function, which enables users to map single effect modules to footswitches, facilitating more granular real-time control over the chain.

As with the original GE150, the Max edition sports an integrated expression pedal that can be mapped to tone and effect parameters, as well as output volume, adding yet another control mechanism for live expression. Interestingly, though, the Max has been augmented by the new "SPILL-OVER" function. Essentially, this ensures that delay and reverb effect tails will fade out naturally when switching presets, making smoother and more natural transitions possible in a live setting.

In terms of the internal drum machine and looper, MOOER has stuck to the successful formula of the original GE150. 80 seconds of looping time allow for creative improvisations and loop-based compositions, and a 40-style drum machine is also provided, complete with 10 metronomes. The previously mentioned "Tap" footswitch can be used to accurately determine the BPM of these features in real-time.

Aside from the GE150 Max's internal features, it also boasts an impressive upgrade on its audio output options. Most notably, in addition to the expected 1/4" stereo outputs, it is also fitted with a stereo balanced XLR output. Guitarists can choose this output option to shield their output from signal degradation and distortion over long-distance cables, guaranteeing a cleaner, more stable, and generally more professional live output than was previously possible.

As if this weren't enough, an Aux In port is also provided for connecting to smartphones or external audio players, allowing guitarists to jam along to their favorite backing tracks or rehearse their band's material. The device's USB port can even be used for OTG recording into a mobile device, as well as for the management of presets, sample files, and firmware through a PC. Combining this versatile selection of audio routing options with the GE150 Max’s upgraded functionality, guitarists truly have everything they need for professional-grade live performance, all within a light-weight and compact package.

Mooer GE150 Plus multi-effects processor with knobs, buttons, and a digital display.

Following the success of the original GE150 pedal, MOOER is excited to introduce the new GE150 Plus, a new multi-effects and amp-modelling pedal. The device has been upgraded to offer guitarists advanced functionality, greater performance flexibility, and enhanced sonic quality through the new GE series design language and user interface.

First and foremost, the GE150 Plus provides memory for up to 198 preset patches, giving users a comprehensive range of tonal possibilities for various musical styles. Presets can be crafted through effects such as reverb, modulation, and dynamic enhancements, and most importantly, 55 precise preamp models developed using MOOER’s intelligent nonlinear sample technology. This enables the pedal to accurately reproduce the unique tonal characteristics and dynamic response of classic amplifiers, further enhanced by the device’s amplifier and cabinet modules. Both amps and cabs allow for loading MOOER’s MNRS sampling files, while the cabinet simulations also support third-party impulse response (IR), further expanding the device’s flexibility.

Another particularly impressive new feature of the GE150 Plus is the “spill-over” function, which enables delay and reverb effects to fade naturally when switching between presets–a feature that was missing from the original GE150. Ultimately, this ensures smooth, uninterrupted performance when making sonic changes during live performances.

As with past editions of the GE150, the pedal includes a convenient and intuitively designed 80-second stereo looper. This can be used in combination with the GE150 Plus’ groove station, which includes 40 integrated drum patterns alongside 10 metronome modes. All of these features are controlled effortlessly through three multi-purpose footswitches, bringing all manner of creative purposes for both live looping and rhythmic practice. An expression pedal is also built into the device, giving guitarists further dynamic control over parameters in their effects chain.

Compared to the original GE150, the GE150 Plus has USB connectivity that is significantly enhanced. Through USB-C, the pedal can be easily integrated with MOOER’s PC software for preset editing, as well as for data management, firmware updates, and mobile device audio recording through an OTG cable. An aux input port further expands practice possibilities by enabling external audio sources like smartphones, software, or other hardware to be used as a backing track.

Following MOOER’s recent trend of producing fully portable products for musicians on the move, the GE150 Plus is available in two distinct editions, one of which is battery-powered. The standard model offers reliable mains-powered operation, while the GE150 Plus Li version also incorporates an integrated lithium battery, providing approximately 9 hours of continuous use. Additionally, the GE150 Plus Li comes with an exclusive black finish. Overall, the GE150 Plus continues MOOER’s commitment to delivering powerful, versatile, and travel-friendly solutions, making it an essential upgrade within the critically acclaimed GE series.
