Can you get MIX READY guitar tones with a $500 multi effect? | Secret Weapons Demo & Review
The Mooer GE-1000 is a fascinating piece of guitar tech. You have a shocking number of amp and cabs (AND power amps!), dozens of drives, and a built in drummer and looper. It's even got an AI assisted EQ. But coming in at just over $500 it can all be roses; so lets take a look at the pros and cons of this device and answer the question; who is this for?

That tone in the intro ❤
Anyone having this guitar, please tell me to your comment.
Man this is a really useful video 👍👍
such cool looking guitars!
Love the artwork,,$400 is a bit steep for another delay.😢
I really want to buy this pedal to enhance my synth and electric guitar sounds
That’s definitely what it’s here for
Ho, by the way ... here the ``elephant`` in the room of many IR ``perfection`` searching... : EVERYTHING are different from a player to another one ... : the way we play on the strings with the picks... the pickups, the guitar, the room treatment, even the place your living ( yeah !! ELECTRICITY make uge difference on ... electric device INCLUDING : GUITAR... ). So ; trust your ears and KEEP learn to agjust for YOUR SETUP... That`s WHY most of the time we CANNOT agree of withc one IR are better... TOO MUCH DIFFERENTS SITUATION...
Just a heads up; This is a pretty insufferable way of writing.
GOOD video, but SORRY my friend , capture our own IR ( amp, rig, or whatever...), it`s available on many`s others platform for almost 2 YEARS now... So, WELCOME STL Tone in `` town``... More than that, they are a TONE of FREE IR everywhere, even a FREE app capture, so i really don`t get what is ``NEW`` here.
There’s a lot to unpack in this nonsense comment but I’m just gonna go ahead and point out that “amp captures =\= IRs” and the confidence that goes with both ignorance and also mild illiteracy is on full display in this comment
IYO is this one of the most versatile delay pedals you’ve used? I think what draws me is the versatility.
An hour long video on such an affordable piece of gear?? Absolutely keep em coming Mark!
All good gear deserves a real examination. Especially the more affordable stuff.
You’re cool, love your energy and overall approach to gear. Big fan man.
Great review! Would also love to get your take on the *Boss ME 90* _multi effects_ if you're coming down to the _every day_ *working mans* musician 😎
Just found this channel. Subbed. Your demos are very well done. The video looks well produced, the sound is level and crisp, and the demo makes sense - a good balance of playing and speaking about the product.
Chewy tone are there.
That opening! ❤
You need to be putting these intro songs onto spotify. theyre so damn good.
Love the videos. Excellent demonstration and examples. What patch cables are you using in the video? I'm always on the lookout for low profile flat cables.
Mark where are your setting usually for your washy station reverb tones?
Less talk more action.
Nope
How do you get it to sound so clean with the drive at noon? I have put my drive way down when recording direct.
gracias por el video. Muy bueno. Me convencio y he comprado la guitarra .
Not only a great demo of the plugin, but also very informative overall as to how to shape the sound you wanna get. What a great guy as well! Thanks a bunch 🎉
Hi great video. I thought you might help me with two questions: Is Habit polyphonic? or can it handle chords? (i own the Meris Hedra and it's a bummer that it can only respond to single notes). Does Habit have any mix control? I can't seem to find this spec anywhere. So is the effect always present at the same rate v/s the dry signal? Thanks so much and cheers from Chile.
Excellent video! I just ordered mine with big thanks to your work here. Cheers for that!
That sounds like a song from the sunnyboys
Real Beautiful shooting Mark. congrats! sounds terrific too :-)
very similiar to a true stereo version of the volante
The only thing missing… the ability to switch between Left and Right or stereo (both) Say you were running an IR-X and IR-D (or two other separate) preamps on the same pedalboard. You might want to just run one or the other… or blend them together… or have FX with only one, for a wet-dry setup. I guess you could do your guitar into an A/B/Y switcher then into this… but man that simple ability built in would be the shizzy!!
I had accidentally clicked on this video while getting into my car this morning and stayed because of your intro track and the guitar discussion. Amazing as always.
Great review but not seeing or hearing anything new or particularly interesting. Sounds so thin and digi. I’d prefer a Volante with a reverb after it.
Well, it’s a sine of the times.
lol at 28:00 it sounds like royalty free business marketing music hahaha
Great choices throughout! Perfect representation of Forget Me Not.
400 clams. Consider it forgotten.
Man your intros just get better and better. This one was probably top 5 I've heard on here. Great stuff.
The Tele just hits like that
Dude, I love your style and work. Keep rocking the great videos.
Such great videos you have. Detailed breakdowns with beautiful music and playing to highlight the demos. A joy to listen to!
What a beauty of a pedal, and you point out the sonical beauty. Great job, Mark! 👍👍👏👏
I've had a couple Alexander pedals and have always been impressed by the price to feature ratio and how good they sound, but have always parted due to the work flow not really being for me. I absolutley love this format and hope they keep expanding with similar type layouts. Also, your writing and overall recordings have just gotten so good and I love hearing these tools in context and in a full mix.
I still say the telecaster is Mark’s spirit guitar.
You're likely correct. Most of my best songs on this channel are likely to be either Tele jams or my bunting which has tele electronics anyways.
I just recently picked up an Aeros after using boss RC units exclusively for over a decade. I’m totally blown away at the efficiency and options available, via routing. I’m sad that I bought the RC500 boss looper first as an “upgrade” to my RC30 when I should have just spent the extra coin on the Aeros. Get one and you’ll be blown away. Also the compatibility with the Beat Buddy via midi makes this a premium songwriting / jam tool. Great vid!
Love the Graphic design for this , looking sweet next ti the mood
Alexander can be pretty hit and miss with their graphics but I do quite like the vintage coolness of the flowers here.
New viewer here! These videos are incredibly high quality and listenable, even like a podcast. I'm definitely looking forward to more
This is a lot like the Strymon Volante, which I own and love. Level controls for each head is a really cool feature. Sounds amazing.
The broad stokes of both are very similar for sure. The main difference would be a difference in the way they seek to emulate vintage tape machines; the way the delay feeds the read and write heads is different than the timing and spacing on the volant and this gets to a more broken and degraded tape quality than the Volante which, at it's most "worn" doesnt really impart much in the way of imperfection, imo.
@@markjohnstonofficial interesting. One aspect of the Volante I really appreciate are the separate record and playback heads. That opens a lot of possibilities. Still, this looks and sounds like an amazing pedal. Great demo, as usual. Thanks.
They couldn’t have chosen someone else better than you to showcase and expound on this pedal. Absolute banger Mark. Seems like it could be a fun pedal to pair with a Lore.
I have the Lore .. Magical pedal.. However I only put a very subtle no decay stereo pedal on after it to enhance to stereo and to keep it as true as possible..
@@patrickr6505 I do as well and yes it is. This pedal though could definitely fill that stereo position given the echo and how subtle it could be. The adjutability it has could really help dial in some cool textures too I think.
@@ayjbray For sure.. Variety is the spice of life lol..
@@patrickr6505 The FMN artwork could look pretty sweet with it too if you had the Kamakura edition Lore.
That Tele is getting some use!!
'52 RI tele that weighs a million pounds. Its one of the best guitars I own and I just sometimes go through phases where I forget that.
Is that an American Vintage II? Sounds great
Nah it predates most of the current Fender model naming conventions. It's an American '52 RI I bought for $700 back in... roughly 2009/2010
amazing
sounds as bland as it looks. is there a freeware vst in it?
So I've been thinking about this pedal for a while and finally started looking at the product page. I noticed that the input and output impedance are notably off from what would be considered "transparent" for guitar (500kOhm/560Ohm, compared to "ideal" of 1MOhm/~100Ohm). Have you noticed any notable coloration when using/stacking this pedal?
I just picked this amazing pedal up!!! I also have the Harmony Jupiter they are Crazy Good guitars!
