Mooer announced the Prime P2 on October 31, 2023, the next generation of its ultra-compact P1 audio interface and multi-effects¹. Guitar World reported the unit as available now for $256²; Gearnews gave a manufacturer's suggested retail price of EUR 239¹.

The P2 is a multi-effects unit that also works as an amp and cab modeler and an audio interface². It has a 1.3-inch touchscreen, which Gearnews called a substantial upgrade over the P1¹, and Guitar World said is used to navigate the effects catalog². Connectivity includes Bluetooth for audio playback and a USB-C port for recording¹.

Guitar World reported that the amp models were created using Mooer's MNRS technology, which the company says allows for top-notch digital amp tones in the P2's format². The effect chain is fully customizable, with blocks arrangeable in any order¹. Presets can be saved and recalled and shared through the Mooer Tone Cloud, and a free mobile app allows sound editing and preset organization¹². A smart device can control the tuner, drum machine, metronome and looper¹. Mooer recommends its F-Series wireless footswitch, sold separately, for hands-free operation, and a MIDI interface is available for preset switching, looper and drum machine functions via CC commands from an external controller¹. A headphone jack handles silent practice, and the TRRS headphone input supports headphones with a built-in microphone¹.

Guitar World noted the P2's effects list is smaller than the P1's, which housed 126 built-in effects².
