MOOER GE150 Plus

The MOOER GE150 Plus is a compact multi-effects and amp-modeling pedal that MOOER describes as "designed for guitarists on the move"¹. It follows the original MOOER GE150, launched in 2019, and sits alongside the GE150 Pro and GE150 Max in the same family. Gearnews positioned it at launch as a unit "aimed at players who want the same sounds and tools in a smaller package", suited to practice, recording and small gigs²³.

At its core are 55 preamp models, which MOOER says are "made possible through intelligent nonlinear sample technology"¹. The original GE150's 55 amp models were derived from MOOER's Micro Preamp series, as Guitar World noted in its review of that pedal⁴. The Plus carries up to 198 preset patches and shares MOOER's recently updated MNRS modeling engine with the GE150 Max¹².

Amp modeling, IR loading and effects

The 55 preamp models are the heart of the unit, and both the amplifier and cabinet modules allow loading MOOER's MNRS sampling files¹⁵. Beyond MOOER's own files, the cabinet simulations support third-party impulse response (IR) files, so a player can use cab captures from any IR maker⁵. Third-party IR support was already part of the original GE150's appeal, with Gearnews noting in 2019 that it let players "get the same dynamics and feel of a real tube amp"⁶.

The Plus and the Max share the same updated MNRS modeling engine and a wide range of effects². The larger Max adds the ability to load NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) profiles, something the press did not report for the Plus⁷.

Footswitches, touch screen and expression pedal

Control comes from a 2.8 inch touch screen and three multi-purpose footswitches, which Gearnews credited with helping keep the unit smaller than its siblings². There is also a parameter-mappable expression pedal, so the pedal can be assigned to control effect parameters rather than only volume¹.

For comparison within the family:

The original GE150's two footswitches were split between the looper and the onboard tuner, as MusicRadar's review described¹⁰, so the Plus's three multi-purpose switches give more flexibility over preset changes and function triggering.

Standard and Li versions

The GE150 Plus comes in two versions: the standard model in white with mains-powered operation, and the GE150 Plus Li in black with a built-in lithium battery¹⁵. MOOER rates the Li battery for up to 9 hours of use¹. The same battery arrangement appears across the family: the GE150 Pro Li and the GE150 Max Li both claim up to 9 hours of play time as well³⁸.

At launch in September 2025, Gearnews listed the standard GE150 Plus at Thomann for $159 and the GE150 Plus Li for $170².

How it differs from the GE150 Pro and Max

Premier Guitar reported that MOOER's GE150 "has seen several significant improvements, including through the GE150 Pro and the most recent GE150 Max and GE150 Plus"⁵. The practical differences a player will notice:

• Footswitches: the Pro has four multi-purpose footswitches to the Plus's three, and the Max has an 8-footswitch layout for fast preset changes and flexible live control¹³⁸.
• Presets: the Plus holds up to 198 preset patches, against 200 on the Pro, the Max and the original GE150¹³⁸⁹.
• Outputs: the Max has stereo balanced XLR outputs; the Plus does not²⁵.
• Design intent: the Plus is the compact, travel-friendly option, while the Pro is built on MOOER's updated GE series design language⁵³.

Where it came from

The original GE150 launched in 2019 as a 55-amp-model multi-effects pedal based on MOOER's Micro Preamp series³⁴. Guitar World's Mike Astley-Brown reviewed it as "a feature-laden unit that belies its modest price tag", with 55 amp models and 151 effects in a compact format at $200⁴. The GE150 Plus, announced in September 2025 alongside the GE150 Max, carries that lineage into a smaller chassis with the updated MNRS engine²⁵.
