MOOER announced the Prime S1 on March 27, 2024, describing it as a portable unit for effects, looping and music creation¹. The multi-effects pedal carries 128 guitar effect and tone presets, which MOOER says are editable, shareable and expandable through its MOOER Cloud platform¹.

The unit has an 80-second looper with overdub and undo, 40 synchronizable drum machines, 10 metronomes and an internal digital tuner¹. It has four multi-function footswitches, an LED digital display and an LED charge indicator, plus a master gain dial¹. I/O is a mono 1/4-inch input, stereo 1/4-inch outputs and an independent headphone output¹. It records to a phone or tablet over USB/OTG¹.

MOOER gives the weight as 350g and says a rechargeable lithium battery, charged over USB-C, runs for up to 4.5 hours¹. Guitar World gives the dimensions as 240mm (D) x 70.2mm (W) x 31.9mm (H)². Guitar World reports that there are no onboard parameters and that tone tweaking is done off the pedal through the Mooer Cloud preset sharing platform, which it says handles gains, modulations, delays and reverbs, with amps and cab IRs also supported through the Mooer Cloud app². Guitar World also lists Bluetooth and USB jacks for charging and audio interface connectivity².

Guitar World reports a price of $179 on Amazon². MOOER's announcement gives no price or shipping date¹.

The two accounts differ on the preset count: MOOER's body text says 126 onboard effects and tone presets, while its feature list and Guitar World both say 128¹².
