  • The Mooer Audio GE-200 is a great pedal for an ambient guitarist on a budget,. There's a lot packed into a little package: Amp models and cabs, delays, reverbs, modulations, distortions, compressors. There's a phrase looper AND a built-in volume/expression pedal. And yes it does "Ambient Guitar"!

    A cool set of features in a small package for sure! Does anyone have any experience with this pedal yet, or are there similar pedals that you would recommend?

    • @giancarlopaolini7529

      In total honesty I've still to exploit this small pedal (GE-200) to a reasonable percentage even though it's roughly one month that it's with me. Problably I'm spending too much time on different platforms (Fractal, Kemper and now this GE-200) but for strict ambient guitars I've been intrigued and of course I purchased one by the Headrush pedalboard ... you know why ? ... well, 11 empty slots where one can place as many delays and reverbs to suck all the power from its processor. This is in my opinion its big advantage on competitors considering also that It's got an expression pedal too and a very long looper. If you a chance I would suggest that you try it.

    • @DoomedDawn
      @DoomedDawn 6 років тому +2

      The mooer does not have fx loop so you have to stick it in front of the amp or in to the loop. Shame, would have been cool otherwise. You should check out the new Line 6 Helix HX which is Helix effects (no amp modelling) in pedal board friendly package.

    • @davelanciani-dimaensionx
      @davelanciani-dimaensionx 6 років тому +3

      I think the point here is that you can get a lot of sound and function without having to spend $600! The Mooer GE-200 only costs $300.

    • @DoomedDawn
      @DoomedDawn 6 років тому +1

      You are right. It really is good value product. I used to own Zoom G3x which was great given the price. I was just giving an alternative for a multifx with smallish footprint.

    • @TheAnimeist
      @TheAnimeist 6 років тому +5

      I have the Mooer GE100 and GE200. You can pretty much get the same sounds out of both, however the GE200 has the USB interface (easy to program the effects with), you can change the order of your chain (as you've shown), and it has the CTRL button, which lets you enable/disable devices on the chain. Another nice feature is being able to program the settings and vary them with the pedal. A con of the GE100 is that it has no looper. A benefit of the GE100 is that it runs from batteries. The GE200 is not as portable, and requires a 600 mAmp power supply. This could become an issue when looking for isolated power supplies, as I have yet to find one that goes over 500 mAmp. The power usage is my only beef with the GE200.

    I was going to run out and by a multi effect pedal. Then I started to play around with my Fender Super Champ X2 + Fender Fuse software + hooked up to my computer does a lot of the things this thing does Cabinet + multiple amps - Overdrive + Modulation + Reverb + Delay + a bunch of different settings in each one. You can save settings. I play guitar just for fun. So to the Super Champ allows me to get familiar with pedals without the cost. For example the Modulation has settings for Sine Chorus, Triangle Chorus, Sine Flanger, Triangle Flanger, Vibratone, Vintage Tremolo, Sine Tremolo, Ring Modulator, Step Filter, Phaser and Pitch Filter. I'm 68 years old just starting out. I'm on a fixed income.

    Nice demo - and I also appreciated it staying in that rare Djent-free zone.
    When I looked at the I/O, at first I thought, "Too bad there's not a stereo effects loop" ... then I realized, at this size and price, this thing could *be* the effects loop in a larger scheme.
    I just ordered one, so I'll test that idea. Mooer = supplement in the loop for the studio, and it unplugs to provide a compact solution that's perfect for a little gig. Will see...

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  6 років тому +2

      Yeah - I think at the price point, the lack of an effects loop is not a big deal.

    Another good pedal for Ambient guitar worth having a look at is the Nux MFX-10.I got one of ebay for about £30 and it's absolutely superb !! The great thing is that you can control ALL of the parameters with the built in expression pedal which makes ambient swells a piece of cake. It's built like a tank and really intuitive to navigate... I highly recommend it :O)

    I liked the pedalboard, it's very good by the way, especially for those who do not have the money to buy a Boss GT-1000. Then you just have the Modulation Effects to play with a cleaner sound, or even worth giving a light "dirty" sound with a drive to play something heavier. GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL!

  • @rickc2102
    @rickc2102 6 років тому

    Pretty decent little box, but would be better if one could stack effects; I love running two delays or reverbs together, and combining phasing and flanging or chorus and phasing. Still, there are more and more good-sounding compacts coming out for budding guitarists.

  • @nazmoking3171
    @nazmoking3171 6 років тому +1

    Very nice - thanks for this demo! I would have loved if you used the Zoom G3xn so I would learned better how to operate it for this but they are very similar devices. Clearly, these multi-effect devices can do the job.

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  6 років тому +1

  • @jamesr6497
    @jamesr6497 5 років тому +1

    For rocking and shredding on the fly this is a nice pedal, especially those who cant afford high price custom pedals and don't want to deal with stringing stomp boxes together. Instant gratification in the form of well thought out presets. One unit, plug in... jam or record. Rocking tones and a little bit of ambient exploration on a budget. However for the serious ambient guitarist... he or she might want more. I suppose though in the end its going to be your budget that decides; but its not bad for the money.

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  5 років тому

      Totally agreed on all your points! The Line AMPLIFi FX100 is another great budget unit to consider.

    @thomaswalz3515 6 років тому +1

    Thank you!
    I've been perusing videos on this device... and so far, all have been by metal and heavy rock players... who make up 99% of most gear reviews.
    I play with clean tones, country Tele twang, Knopfleresque clean Strat... and occasionally, go back to my Blues roots, just a touch of crunch.
    IMO, crunch is for immature tastes... as a young man, I couldn't get enough... now, an elder, I see how clean tones have an infinite palette of colorations and textures... so many variables, I am left overwhelmed... chasing that perfect tone, often as difficult to find as a unicorn.
    Your input and evaluation of this device was so much more useful for me.
    Thanks, again.

  • @victoreijkhout6146
    @victoreijkhout6146 6 років тому +2

    That's a really cool tone you're getting at the end. I don't see any obvious tonal trickery in the signal chain except for the EQ. Or is it taht "Flex boost"?

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  6 років тому +2

      Yes - I am just using the on board effects and settings. The Flex Boost is one of the distortion/overdrive options. It's basically a clean boost effect.

    @morbidangel989 6 років тому +1

    I just found your channel a few days ago and I really love your focus on ambient guitar sounds. Being a huge Devin Townsend fan, I really appreciate ambient guitar. I was actually wondering how you like that PRS SE 277 you're playing here. Is it a really good guitar for the money? I've been thinking about getting a baritone, and that model is definitely something I'm considering. My biggest concern would be the neck profile. Do you know how the profile compares to something like a Fender modern C shape?

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  6 років тому +1

      I think the SE-277 is a great guitar for the money (especially if you get it from Prymaxe on sale!). Not sure on the neck profile. Does PRS have something like a Fender profile? In any case, the neck feels good to me. Baritone neck always feel beefier because of the string gauge.

    • @morbidangel989
      @morbidangel989 6 років тому

      Thanks for the response. I'm honestly not sure how PRS necks compare to Fender necks. I just happen to have a strat with the "modern C" profile and that is comfortable for me (which is why I was wondering how the SE-277 neck compares). I'm guessing it's definitely thicker than my Fender's neck, since the specs for the SE-277 call the neck profile "wide fat."

    • @GatorBait_Studio
      @GatorBait_Studio 6 років тому

      I own a wide fat prs (30th anniversary custom 24 ) and an American special Strat. The difference is yin and yang. Wide is no joke. I have not small nor large hands, ring size 10 and at the neck joint 12th fret it’s downright difficult to put your pinky on the low E, where it’s no problem on the Strat.. the wide part is for sure why, string spacing as well, I would NOT have bought this guitar had I played it first, instead of falling in love with online marketing.
      If you ARE looking for a similar profile to modern c the mark Holcomb SE is ggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeaaaaaat and it does indeed DJENT.
      It is my number 2 after the American Strat!

Could I use the expression pedal of the Moer to control the volume of Voicelive 3 if they're connected? Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I' like to save the money for an extra pedal just for volume if I could avoid it... Thanx in advance.

    Thanks for the review for ambient guitar on this one! You didn't end up using it, tho' you mentioned it has one... I'm curious how well the volume pedal effect works on this... does it do good swells at all? I'm hoping to not have to buy a separate pedal/ebow at the moment :P

    • @ponzish
      @ponzish 3 роки тому

      It can do swells. I am no professional guitarist, but I enjoy playing some post-rock stuff. Following the guide to ambient swells that is also on this channel, I was able to set up a nice sound to use the pedal with. The only downside is that the pedal travel is not very wide, but it works.

    @victorlaw4256 Рік тому

    Thank you for the great playing and the walk through. You started to mention at about 10:15 that we could change the order of the pedal items in the signal chain. I understand and appreciate that. But logically why is the cab allowed to move around, and could sit before, say a distortion pedal in the chain. I thought the cab, should not be movable and should always be placed at the end of the chain. Maybe I missed something.

  • @davegetsspam
    @davegetsspam 5 років тому +1

    I hope you can remember the answer to this question. Can you put more than one delay in the chain of effects? I was wondering if you could do a Mooer Ocean Machine emulation on this?

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  5 років тому

      No - the GE-200 has a fixed number of effects slots and there is only one delay. You can change the ordering of the blocks, but not what effect each block is.

  • @guigui82
    @guigui82 6 років тому +2

    Nice demo with beautiful sounds ! If I may ask, how did you setup the EXP to act as a volume pedal ? I've read in the manual that you can have it behave like the master volume control when the assigned function is not active, but in this case I guess it's located at the end of the chain, so not great for swells with delay/reverb. Is it possible to set it after comp and OD, but before delay and reverb ? Thanks in advance !

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  6 років тому +2

      You can assign the EXP pedal to most parameters of any effect, so for example, if you assign it to the master volume of the amp, it will swell that effect. You can then use the chain setting to change the ordering of the effects to ensure that your swell will occur before the delays and reverbs.

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  6 років тому

      I would guess that it could, although it is not an all in one unit like the GE-200. So you would need an amp/cab, a volume pedal and a looper to round out the the MS-3

    Awesome. I have a question. How do you plug this in so that you can switch from just using the fx with the can and amp emulators off and then clicking them back on so it's using the internal amp and not my real amp. Just confused on how it needs to be set and plugged in to switch from real amp with this devices fx and then switching right to the internal amps on this I have a black star amp head and a crate cab loaded with v30s. Any info would help as I really wanna get one. Cheers.

      Best to consult the GE200 manual. There's a diagram of connecting it to different devices: v1.cecdn.yun300.cn/fsite_1804040320%2FGE200_Manual_EN_V03_2019.04.301559198689170.pdf

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  5 років тому

      I have never used the Preamp Live, however it looks like a dedicated preamp/amp modeling unit, whereas the GE-200 has a set of effects in addition to amp modeling. I assume that the amp modeling section is not as elaborate as the Preamp Live.

      Do it if you find one. Practically it's like having a pedalboard inside one compact stompbox. These are the core my live setup for reverbs, and special effects, like synthy sounds and sweel/sound-carpet things.

It seems like a better value unit than their Red & Black Truck multi effect pedals which both have their good & not so good features and I feel that you would need both, which is too expensive....enter the GE 200.
      I was only commenting recently that Mooer have really raised their game in the last 1-2 years with the Ocean Machine, Red & Black Trucks, and GE 200. It wasn't all that long ago when I bought (and sold) a Mooer Shimverb which cost me about £70 at the time and that I thought wasn't a very good reverb at all....and I compare that to the reverb options on the Ocean Machine.

It would save time to know what the purpose is if the pedal is known for other styles. You have to remember many players are coming to your channel from other styles just testing the waters of ambient as opposed to those mainly interested in ambient.
