The built-in drum machine section is made for practicing and designed to work with your looper. Being battery powered, this has the potential to be a perfect portable practice partner. You can take it anywhere with a pair of headphones.

Sure, there are a few that seem superfluous and redundant. But the sounds that mattered, Mooer positively nailed. Especially the high gain sounds like a 5150, Mesa, Marshall, or Bogner. There is simply no comparison to the Zoom. Support for third-party impulse responses (IR) from 3rd party vendors for up to 10 user presets (IRs up to 512 pts.) There are two footswitches for cycling through presets, but holding the left activates a built-in tuner, while keeping your foot on the right activates the 80-second looper. While MOOER has passable effects and useable reverbs, Zoom blows it out of the water with quality. The stereo delay and reverb effects that Zoom has perfected over the years is the clear winner in this category. The GE150 comes with 200 presets, the first batch represents a different preset for each amplifier being modelled. Their names are tweaked versions of real amplifiers and it’s easy to see which amplifier it’s trying to emulate. The other presets are a mix of different effect types, songs, and artists. They do a decent job and with a little bit of tweaking it’s easy to get a good useable tone. You of course can override these patches to create your own sound.I can whole-heartedly recommend both units to guitarists of any experience level. I mean, I would totally use these in the studio for getting different tones that my amps usually couldn’t achieve.

While most small FX units work on amp modeling solely, with the effects being almost an afterthought, Zoom puts effects first. This means that the myriad of sounds you can get from this pedal are all high quality. The Looper: Look, I have a single dedicated pedal that does looping worse than the MOOER, and it was more expensive than the MOOER. I was more than surprised with the time limit on the MOOER looper. MOOER have developed the successor to their well-regarded GE100 with the release of the GE150. This new multi effects guitar pedal/recording solution combines great portability with a multitude of different creative options – offering you impressive versatility in one robust, compact unit. Encourages Experimentation You can also decide what you want the expression pedal to do. You can set it to be a volume pedal, expression, or you can set it to several wah-wah settings. This is all visually represented on the screen.That being said, you can also mimic other instruments! The Zoom allows you to use your electric guitar to say, emulate an acoustic guitar sound. The modulation can create vibrant and full sounding tones. Usually only found in the more expensive processors, this unit can act as a recording interface. This means you can use the USB port into your computer to record your guitar with your favorite DAW. This is helpful for people that do not have a huge home setup for recording. It will take a few minutes to finish. After the update is done, GE150 will be rebooted. You can open the editor software after GE150 boots up. That’s where MOOER and Zoom step in. These units are affordable and tout all the same features that the more expensive units have. These days being affordable doesn’t mean “cheap” or lousy.
