Mooer is about to launch the Prime Minimax M1, a compact multi-effects unit for guitar and bass, according to a report published on November 20, 2024¹. The report describes it as the successor to the Prime Stomp S1 and says it offers "a more compact and versatile solution for both guitarists and bassists"¹.

The M1 carries 149 effect models, including amp and cabinet simulations, dynamics, modulation, delay and reverb, and 20 of the amp and cabinet simulations are tailored for bass¹. It works with the MOOER Cloud preset-sharing platform, and Bluetooth 5 connection allows third-party IR files to be imported¹. A built-in drum machine has 40 grooves and ten metronomes, and the looper records 80 seconds¹. The unit connects to a tablet or smartphone by USB cable for OTG recording, and it has a headphone out, a TRS stereo jack output and a standard guitar jack input¹. Two multi-function footswitches and two buttons control presets, loops, tuner, tap tempo and drum machine functions, and the LED screen shows Bluetooth status, battery life and footswitch assignments¹. An internal 2000mAh lithium battery charges over USB-C and is rated at around five hours of use¹.

The report gives a price of $84.00¹. It also carries the writer's own assessment, that the M1 "may be better as an occasional tool rather than a primary source for your guitar/bass tones"¹.

The M1 is one of several compact multi-effects units; see our coverage of multi-effects pedals.
