A guitar intelligent multi effects processor with AI EQ capability. Really! This intelligent multi-processor pedal is reviewed inside and out, an example AI and the result is demonstrated with a final played rock/metal jam that used a preset and sounded very good. But does AI improve the sound. 4K quality.

I had heard about the GE1000 from MOOER and the AI capability in this intelligent multi-effects processor, and that piqued my mind a little to go and buy one. MOOER do make some pretty fair electric guitar effects pedals and this GE-1000 looked very good on paper for a fair price. So I ordered one and decided to review it for the benefit of other guitar players.
Right from the unboxing of the MOOER GE1000 I could tell that time had been spent on the design and once I looked inside, it's easy to see the high quality of the pedal. MOOER did a very good job. The processor and other components are not the newest or highest priced available, but I had no problems in loading up the processor and it all worked wonderfully. I also liked the investment cast case for this pedal that will protect it for years.
The screen is full colour and touch responsive, and about 5 inches in size. While there are only a few push switches on the top of the unit an up/down banks and THREE push buttons for preset choice, you can purchase an F4 secondary pedal for just £59.00 that adds 4 more switches that can be programmed as you like. This is a very comprehensive pedal for what you pay.
I did have some issues with the software - similar to what I have seen on other MOOER editing software installation. Microsoft block the app because MOOER does not register the app with Microsoft! You can override this, but MOOER did not bother to respond when I contacted them. In fact its over a week as I write without ANY response from MOOER. My advice? don't depend on MOOER for quality support. Through two reviews I have seen similar results.
The multi-effects unit otherwise totally behaved itself and I have to say that the presets that I tried were good tones and the Neko Tri Lead I used at the end for the rock/metal jam sounded very good. Note for that jam I used a different wah than the one on the unit.
Now do note that this is not a sponsored review (best way) and I did buy this GE1000 and the F4 pedal with my own money and I did not receive anything whatsoever for making this review - so what you see is totally genuine...
I do offer general info throughout the video review and I'm sure that this video would help guys to make up their own mind whether the MOOER GE1000 is for them or not. I scored the unit also in the video.
So if you're looking for a really close up view of the MOOER AI ( Mooer ge1000) pedal in this review then this is it. Go and watch the others out there if you prefer sales videos or reviews that are purely created for profit... but not always the truth.
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, RING THE BELL, AND THUMBS UP to give my channel a boost and thank you for watching - I hope the video is enjoyable for you and that you see the things in it that other reviews NEVER show!.
