The MOOER GE100 is a budget multi-effects pedal from Mooer, first released in 2015. It is a digital unit built around 8 effect modules covering 66 effect types, with 80 factory presets and 80 user presets for storing your own sounds12. Writing for Guitar.com's beginner gear guide, Pete Wise called it "a valid alternative to effects pedals for beginner guitarists, with 66 effects to explore," naming overdrive, chorus, delay and reverb among them3.
What it does
The GE100 gathers the effect types a player would otherwise buy as separate pedals into one floor unit. MOOER's product page describes "8 effect modules with 66 effect types, delivering MOOER's signature sounds"1. For a beginner, that means one box covering the common effect categories instead of a pedalboard of single pedals; Guitar.com's buyer's guide framed it the same way, as an alternative to individual effects pedals for players starting out3.
Because it is digital, the whole signal path runs in one processor. MOOER describes the GE100 as "built on a new digital platform to deliver authentic, modern guitar tones"1.
Power and running on batteries
Power is one of the GE100's more practical features. MOOER lists a DC 9V adapter or four AA batteries as the power supply options1. Battery power is rare on a multi-effects unit and makes the GE100 usable where no outlet is available, such as a busking setup or a practice session away from mains power.
The GE100 Pro generation
In 2026, after more than a decade of the GE100, MOOER released a new generation: the GE100 Pro and the GE100 Pro Li. MOOER calls the GE100 Pro "MOOER's first AI-powered multi-effects processor designed for beginners" and classifies it as an "AI Intelligent Multi-Effects" unit2. Gearnews' Jef described it as "a significant technological update to the 2015 original, moving beyond standard digital modelling"4.
The two Pro versions differ mainly in power:
| GE100 Pro | GE100 Pro Li | |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | None, 5V 2A power2 | Built-in lithium, 7.4V, 2000mAh, 14.8Wh, approx. 9 hours2 |
| In the box | Power adapter, USB cable, quick guide2 | USB cable, quick guide2 |
| Price (June 2026) | $96 / £87 / €994 | $116 / £104 / €1194 |
MOOER positions the Li's built-in lithium battery "for home, outdoor, and mobile use"2. Both versions run from a 5V 2A supply2.
The GE100 Pro and the GE100 Pro Li offer a lot of power and flexibility at a very affordable price point.
Presets, connectivity and specifications
The preset arrangement changed between generations. The original GE100 carries 80 factory presets plus 80 user presets1, while the GE100 Pro has 150 preset slots arranged as 50 banks of 3 presets each, which MOOER suggests "for any gig or practice scenario"2.
On the GE100 Pro, Jef at gearnews noted the physical connections: "the GE100 Pro offers a mono input, stereo outputs, and a mini-jack headphone" output4. MOOER also specifies a 110dB signal-to-noise ratio for the Pro2.
Where the GE100 sits in Mooer's range
The GE100 opened Mooer's multi-effects line in 2015, and the company has since built a wider range above it, including the GE150, the GE300 and the flagship GE1000. When gearnews looked at the GE200 in 2017, Jef noted the GE100 was "around £100 new" as a price reference for its successor5. The GE100 Pro, priced at $96, keeps that entry-level position in the 2026 lineup4.

Questions
Can the MOOER GE100 run on batteries?
Yes. MOOER's product page lists power as a DC 9V adapter or four AA batteries, so the GE100 can run without a power supply, which is unusual for a multi-effects unit. The newer GE100 Pro Li instead has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, while the standard GE100 Pro uses a 5V 2A power adapter.
How many presets does the MOOER GE100 have?
The original GE100 has 80 factory presets plus 80 user presets for building your own tone library. The GE100 Pro generation uses a different arrangement: 150 preset slots organized as 50 banks of 3 presets each, which MOOER positions for gig and practice scenarios.
Is the MOOER GE100 analog or digital?
The GE100 is digital. MOOER describes it as built on a digital platform to deliver authentic, modern guitar tones. The GE100 Pro continues as a digital unit and adds what MOOER calls AI-powered features.
What is the difference between the GE100 and the GE100 Pro?
The GE100 Pro is a new generation released more than a decade after the 2015 original. MOOER calls it its first AI-powered multi-effects processor designed for beginners, with 150 preset slots, a 110dB signal-to-noise ratio, and 5V 2A power. It comes in two versions: the GE100 Pro with a power adapter, and the GE100 Pro Li with a built-in rechargeable lithium battery.
How long does the GE100 Pro Li battery last?
MOOER specifies a 7.4V, 2000mAh, 14.8Wh lithium battery with approximately 9 hours of battery life, intended for home, outdoor, and mobile use. The unit charges and runs from a 5V 2A supply.
How much does the MOOER GE100 cost?
Gearnews reported the GE100 Pro at $96 and the GE100 Pro Li at $116 as of June 2026, with UK and European prices of £87/€99 and £104/€119 respectively. The original GE100 was reported at around £100 new in 2017. MOOER's own pages do not list a US dollar price for the original GE100.
