Hands-on demo: Mooer GE300
The multi-effects flagship fondled and fettled
Michael Astley-Brown and Simon Arblaster find themselves in the compact, yet perfectly formed MusicRadar studio with none other than Mooer’s new flagship multi-effects pedal, the GE300.
With a price point that pits itself against the likes of Line 6’s Helix LT and the HeadRush Pedalboard, Mooer’s effort needs to bring some serious heat in the specs department. Fortunately, the GE300 packs 108 digital amp models, as well as 164 effects, 43 optional factory cab sims and a fully featured IR loader.
Perhaps one of the plus points that sets it apart from the rest is the extensive synth engine, which is made all the more fun, and ultimately more useful, with superb polyphonic tracking.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
