A thoroughly honest review of a product. You covered all of the features and accessories, but you did not shy away from being critical of a major issue (and even offered a fix). Well done.
I'd love to see a video or maybe a short series that goes in depth explaining what exactly various electronic components (resistors, capacitors, diodes, etc) actually *do* in the context of a pedal or amplifier and how it affects the sound we hear. Plenty of resources out there will tell you a capacitor stores charge, for example, and plenty more will tell you they can be used to make high or low pass filters. But it took me a shockingly long time to find anything that actually bothered explain *how* they can function as filters and *why* they're placed where they are in a circuit. I've been breadboarding trying to make some simple effects, and that kind of content would be super useful!
I'm always a little bit worried when reviewers don't show / tell the price of the products they are reveiwing, but was actually pleasantly surprised when I checked the link haha!
The reason we don't quote a price is because prices fluctuate with location and over time. The price I say today is not going to stay the same forever, so quoting it in video will only result in incorrect information as prices change. I provide links to the product sale pages which will ALWAYS be updated with the most recent price.
Gotta say I am surprised. If you look at this from the right angle, knowing this wont play or sound like a high-end fender or gibson, it is super awesome and versatile. Good job!

Colin...good demonstration! Always dig all your informative content! Greetings from Hollywood California!
my concern with any product like this is what happens when software support ends? am i going to be forced to carry around an ancient phone that still had the app on it and just hope that it doesn't die?
Nice demo. Thanks. Tried sending them an email through their webpage, but couldn't get it working. Wondering if I could buy the GTRS Intelligent Processor System separately, then attach it to one of my own guitars.
Hi there, saw your email, sorry that the time difference caused a delayed response. Sorry that the Intelligent Processor System is not sold separately. However, MOOER will have an interesting product coming out soon which might be something you are looking for. Please keep in touch with us via social media. :)
@@GTRSGuitar this guitar are you able to play simultaneously with audio with songs running in background all via together in the headphones mode? So I can jam silently to any songs.
Can you give us a rundown of connecting guitars to computers and getting sound back out? I've struggled to get mine to have no latency or tons of artifacts. But I'm interested in vst amps and effects.
When I started playing in late 90's there was a device called "Pandora's Box" which was a small box with multi-effects and someone had it taped on his guitar body next to the bridge. I guess technology got better these days...
Much more interesting then I had expected. Nice to see Mooer taking care of their growing reputation by partnering with someone who can build guitars that aren't just "Guitar Shaped Objects".
Cool guitar and it looks like a good profuct, but the proprietary aspect of the software isn't appealing. I can see the app losing support in the coming year (if not disapiring completely) and then it's just a regular guitar with a fancy button.
The app is simply a control surface, the processor is inside the guitar. The app isn't technically required to access the sounds. Also, even if the app stops being supported, it doesn't stop existing on whatever device you have it on. Keep your ipad and you'll always have access.
@@ScienceofLoud The last part isn‘t really true, unless you dedicate that iPad to that function alone-as the device‘s operating system changes over time, apps that won‘t be updated won‘t run anymore. I have had several such apps, some from products that are worthless now. Simply never updating the device isn‘t a solution either, not only are you missing out in new features then, but also, and much more importantly, on security fixes. But that‘s the price you pay if you want modern tech. And if it really stops working, just put traditional electronics into it and it will still work nicely as a standard guitar. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@ScienceofLoud if the app isn’t supported there comes a time when the OS version upgrade doesn’t support the app. Recently I couldn’t reinstall or download an app that Apple had offloaded because it’s no longer available on the AppStore. This wouldn’t put me off buying it but I would be very happy to see it fully supported in ten years. It’ll be the same with any modelling amp - wonder how long my Spark Amp will be supported? So here I think one killer feature is guitar plus headphones - great for anywhere practice
I have the P800 and the string tree on that model isn’t an issue. The guitar is awesome and plays great. My favorite part is being able to plug my headphones right into the input, with my Bluetooth pedal and app and come up with tons of song ideas with the drum’s synced to the looper, while my wife is sleeping in the next room. I have no regrets about buying the guitar except the color. I got the red one because it was $50 cheaper and included the pedal and the little amp. But the red one turned out to not be red. But at some angles it’s like a pinkish orange color, and at every other angle it’s dark pink! Everyone who has seen it says it’s pink, as they laugh at me for playing a pink guitar. But I have a solution coming soon. It will soon be the American flag. As I’m covering it with a skin! But other than that I have no complaints about the guitar! It’s become my favorite. And I have some expensive guitars! Selling my Godin if anyone’s interested? lol! Great review! Thank you!
This does seem appealling to less-experienced guitarists, especially with the new-ish wave of strat inspired guitars with roasted maple necks and fretbaords etc... However, is this really the convenience solution for players? This requires you to buy a new guitar entirely. Something like the fender Mustang micro, or even better, the nux mighty plug 2 do essentially the same thing, but as a small plug instead, saving money. The nux mighty-plug 2 can be had for under £60 and also had the corresponding app.
A built in fx rig on a guitar? This is some next level stuff. It would be cool if the pickups can change types like if a strat coil can sound like a lipstick etc.
since i started playing guitar i thought it would be cool to have a built in amp so you can play with headphones only i thought this was going to be much more expensive but considering you get a nice guitar and some amp sims, it's not bad at all; it would be a perfect rig to travel with, practice, rehears, even play gigs. tho i don't see beginners spending 500€ on a guitar just cause it has a virtual amp inside; also the string tree issue is unacceptable
Just got one of the Mooer GE300 units. Incredible unit, especially with the 'capture' technology, basically making it like a Kemper type unit. Plus the fact is has the same two shark processors as an AXFX and is third of the price of Quad Cortex, with a built-in tri-voice polyphonic synthesizer, that doesn't need any special pickups. The only gripe I have, should you need it, Mooer support is utter fucking gobshite and non-existent.
@@armax00 I had a issue initially, basically by being a noob and messing things up. But I got around it by uninstalling the software from my PC, connecting the unit back up to the PC and performing the software update again.
@@armax00 Indeed, the manual is severely lacking, but there is no denying, the unit is exceptional value for the money. I do not regret buying it and would recommend it to anyone. No, I don't work for Mooer, I am a simple home recordist, learning the path :)
Colin, this made me think of a question you might be able to answer. Why aren't noise gates built into guitar amps? It seems like a pretty easy add on that would be very useful. Thanks.
While some amplifiers certainly do contain noise gates, gates are a situational device and their effectiveness is dictated entirely by where the noise floor is being generated, where you sense it, and where the gating happens. Unfortunately having the gate in the amp limits its overall flexibility as it may not be positioned to deal effectively with noise generated before the amp.
If you want to utilise the effects live then you certainly can. I was using the inbuilt FX in power amp mode, sending to my power amp and speaker arrangements. Then the cab can be mic'd as normal. Mixer mode should leave the cab IRs active if you want to send directly to Front Of House, then monitor your sound via the wedges. Alternatively, as GTRS have said above, you could turn it all off and go with your usual amp and effects.
I don't care much for the guitar as such but I'd be ready to buy it and take out the tech to install in another guitar. Perhaps there are kits like this to buy, does anyone know?
Love the idea, hate proprietary garbage. I like how you can change out pots, pickups, selector switches on guitars. Ideally a smart guitar could have the entirety of it's brains swapped out too or transplanted into another guitar with an appropriately sized cavity. I'm curious to know where all this thing is tapping the signal from, I'm guessing it's only at the very end of the chain which would make it behave exactly exactly like the Boss Pocket GT or the Fender Mustang Micro.
No other effects unit is drop in like you describe, I don't see how this is any more proprietary than a standalone effects processor except for the built-in aspect, which is kinda the point of the product.
The gtrs has been out for quite a while now and i believe theres a newer flashier "upgraded" model available. regardless, its still a fantastic travel guitar that closes the gap between electric and acoustic guitars! Great to finally see such a detailed review!
Yes, I was using the built in effects into an amplifier throughout this video. Setting to power amp in the app only disables the cab sims so that you don't have a simulated speaker EQ going through a real speaker. All the other effects and amp simulations still function in this mode.
Was supposed to buy this guitar just this morning but the local dealer said that the warehouse pulls them out when demand is low. But I already gave my name and number so that they could contact me once the guitar is available. Then, I searched for GTRS reviews again since it will be the closest thing to having one right now and this video was the only one who mentioned the string tree problem. I'm happy that I've watched this Video so that I could buy a string tree replacement and hopefully, I could get the same one or the closest one to what you're using. Funtwo's work around was with the bridge. He replaced it with a fix bridge instead of using the floating bridge. Since I play with a trem bar sometimes, I'll go with the String Tree replacement. Thank you!
Somehow the UA-cam videos on this guitar escaped my notice until a few days ago. Excellent feature set. How much does the Cab IR you applied in Post Production affect the sound we are hearing in UA-cam?
Just a suggestion but it is always great to replace the string trees. The reason I say this is it is cheaper than having a professional bone nut installed (always a win, always worth the cost) and also to see if the tuners work fine. I have had a few guitars where tuning issues disappeared with a roller string tree or a Tusq replacement. It may also allow you to delay any headstock mods if tuners and the nut works so you can put that time, money, and effort in other parts of the guitar. Think about it, one part may fundamentally change how you mod that guitar depending if you spend money at the headstock vs pickups or electronics. Not sure about you but there is always a tipping point where once X amount of money has been spent, I don't want to put more money into that guitar vs getting another guitar or piece of gear. 🤔
I had one of those, "that riff is amazing and I know if from somewhere, but where?" for the Livin On A Prayer solo, and I gotta say, such a great phrase.
10:10 if I knew this about my strat I’d have saved myself YEARS of hassle, could I even raise the standard string tree on my strat to alleviate some pressure?
Best demo of this yet. All the key info. Fast. Great camera too. Congrats. If you see this, does it have an acoustic simulation in its armoury of pickup simulations? Thanks again
Like he was saying, it's all about binding. The strings move ever so slightly under the string trees and over the nut and bridge. If the string gets stuck somewhere it can cause it to bind which may lead to string breakage. The quick and dirty method is to take a mechanical pencil and write/color in on the bridge and nut slots. In my experience, with budget guitars it's usually the nut that's just a hot mess. Grabby plastic, not cut properly, too high. Pencil graphite will help, but a decent nut made out of bone or TUSQ or whatnot helps the most. The string tree in this video was wayyyyy to low however. String tress are also fairly cheap but are only really worth swapping if yours are causing binding.
I have a question! I recently purchased an Ibanez FL9 and the speed knob is broken. All of the other knobs work fine, but the pedal basically becomes a filter pedal. What could cause the speed knob the broken?
Most likely a disconnected wire. If the pot became loose at some point and was able to turn with the knob then it's very likely it severed the wires connecting it to the circuit board.
@@ScienceofLoud Thanks for the response. However, I looked inside the pedal to see if anything was loose, but I found nothing was loose or dangling around. I don’t know if it’s something to do with the circuit board itself, but either way I’m pretty sure I’m gonna need to get a refund. Shame though, it was a made in Japan version.
@@vulgarschool A broken connection may not be visually apparent, solder joints can fail with strain while looking fine. There is also the possibility the potentiometer itself is dead. In any case it will be a super easy fix for someone who knows what to look for. My FL9 was missing several parts internally when I got it, these things are repairable. I wouldn't give up on it that easily.
My GTRS S800 from Indiegogo came requiring quite a lot of work to get it playable, although at first glance it did look really good and well made (the neck especially). The tuners were not installed “inline” properly, the neck required a shim, and the side of the fretboard at the dusty end looked like they’d been “rolled” with a Stanley knife.

can you use this live with the fx goodies
Hi there, if you turn off the Super-Knob, you can use the GTRS guitar as a traditional electric guitar for your pedalboard and amps.
If you want to utilise the effects live then you certainly can.
I was using the inbuilt FX in power amp mode, sending to my power amp and speaker arrangements. Then the cab can be mic'd as normal.
Mixer mode should leave the cab IRs active if you want to send directly to Front Of House, then monitor your sound via the wedges.
Alternatively, as GTRS have said above, you could turn it all off and go with your usual amp and effects.
Will it work as a normal guitar???
I'd rather buy a used MiM Fender Strat and pair it with a Mustang Micro. What happens when the electronics stop working and support is non existant?
I don't care much for the guitar as such but I'd be ready to buy it and take out the tech to install in another guitar. Perhaps there are kits like this to buy, does anyone know?
For somebody who is starting, how is this a better choice than all other options...???

I have had a few guitars where tuning issues disappeared with a roller string tree or a Tusq replacement.
It may also allow you to delay any headstock mods if tuners and the nut works so you can put that time, money, and effort in other parts of the guitar.
Think about it, one part may fundamentally change how you mod that guitar depending if you spend money at the headstock vs pickups or electronics. Not sure about you but there is always a tipping point where once X amount of money has been spent, I don't want to put more money into that guitar vs getting another guitar or piece of gear. 🤔
I had one of those, "that riff is amazing and I know if from somewhere, but where?" for the Livin On A Prayer solo, and I gotta say, such a great phrase.
10:10 if I knew this about my strat I’d have saved myself YEARS of hassle, could I even raise the standard string tree on my strat to alleviate some pressure?
Clever bit of kit but dare I say prefer the sound without all the clever gubbins activated.
Crackin work as ever fella.
What brand
ame of the string tree

Can't tell if that's closer to a Suhr headstock or an early '80's Kramer Pacer headstock.
Great opening on the "standard" guitar, Colin. You're getting *quite* good at this!
The Univox Effector crawled so that the Smart Guitar could run.
The only problem I have is that the price has skyrocketed here in the states on certain overseas products.
FX in a guitar? We want Mooer!
i like mooer products but i like less in my guitar simple and more options
I wish this sort of stuff had been around when I was starting out.
your dog came back to life?
*orders that string tree*
It's ok...
meh...
Kinda neat

Best demo of this yet. All the key info. Fast. Great camera too. Congrats. If you see this, does it have an acoustic simulation in its armoury of pickup simulations? Thanks again
I'm pretty certain there is an acoustic setting in there, as well as semi-hollow and piezo which could also be useful.
Hi, great video. Please tell where to buy that 3-strings tree too, I can't find it anywhere

So can new string trees help tuning stability on cheaper strats? Or was this one only able to help because the original was so low?
Like he was saying, it's all about binding. The strings move ever so slightly under the string trees and over the nut and bridge. If the string gets stuck somewhere it can cause it to bind which may lead to string breakage. The quick and dirty method is to take a mechanical pencil and write/color in on the bridge and nut slots. In my experience, with budget guitars it's usually the nut that's just a hot mess. Grabby plastic, not cut properly, too high. Pencil graphite will help, but a decent nut made out of bone or TUSQ or whatnot helps the most. The string tree in this video was wayyyyy to low however. String tress are also fairly cheap but are only really worth swapping if yours are causing binding.
@@curtis4812 how do you know if it’s the string tree that’s causing binding?
I have a question! I recently purchased an Ibanez FL9 and the speed knob is broken. All of the other knobs work fine, but the pedal basically becomes a filter pedal. What could cause the speed knob the broken?
Most likely a disconnected wire. If the pot became loose at some point and was able to turn with the knob then it's very likely it severed the wires connecting it to the circuit board.
@@ScienceofLoud Thanks for the response. However, I looked inside the pedal to see if anything was loose, but I found nothing was loose or dangling around. I don’t know if it’s something to do with the circuit board itself, but either way I’m pretty sure I’m gonna need to get a refund. Shame though, it was a made in Japan version.
@@vulgarschool A broken connection may not be visually apparent, solder joints can fail with strain while looking fine.
There is also the possibility the potentiometer itself is dead.
In any case it will be a super easy fix for someone who knows what to look for. My FL9 was missing several parts internally when I got it, these things are repairable.
I wouldn't give up on it that easily.
This guitar looks amazing and the input jack is in the perfect spot 👌 😍
Yet another hopeless gimmick. That effect unit built in the guitar could be a box plugged into the output jack of ANY guitar.
only if it were headless with stainless steel frets, it would be PERFECT for practicality
My GTRS S800 from Indiegogo came requiring quite a lot of work to get it playable, although at first glance it did look really good and well made (the neck especially).
The tuners were not installed “inline” properly, the neck required a shim, and the side of the fretboard at the dusty end looked like they’d been “rolled” with a Stanley knife.
This is the exact information I needed. Definitely staying away and getting a schecter nick johnston instead
