MOOER GE150 Pro

The MOOER GE150 Pro is a compact multi-effects and amp-modeling pedal, a development of MOOER's original GE150 multi-effects pedal, which launched in 2019¹. It comes loaded with 200 factory preset tones, 55 preamps and 26 cabinets, and it carries 10 slots for third-party IR cabinet simulation files, so you can load your own speaker captures alongside the stock cabinet models¹.

MOOER describes the GE150 Pro as designed based on its updated GE series design language, and it sits in a family that has grown to include the GE150 Plus, the GE150 Max and battery-powered Li versions of several models¹².

What the GE150 Pro does

The GE150 Pro puts a full rig in one floor unit: preamp and cabinet modeling, effects, presets, a tuner and practice tools. The 55 preamps and 26 cabinets form the amp-modeling core, and the 200 factory presets give you ready-made patches to browse before you start editing your own¹.

The 10 IR slots are the feature that separates the Pro from simpler units in the line. An impulse response (IR) is a capture of how a real speaker cabinet and microphone color a signal, and loading third-party IRs lets you replace the stock cabinet simulations with captures of specific cabinets. The original GE150 already had an IR loader for third-party IRs, and the Plus and Max editions of the family also support third-party IR files, so it is a family-wide capability rather than a Pro exclusive¹²³.

The original GE150, which the Pro builds on, sampled at 44.1 KHz and offered a headphone output for silent practice, an auxiliary audio input and a built-in tuner⁴⁵.

Footswitches, presets and expression

The GE150 Pro has four multi-purpose footswitches for browsing presets and triggering a wide range of functions¹. That is double the original GE150's layout: Guitar World's review of the GE150 found two footswitches for cycling through presets, with a hold on the left switch activating the built-in tuner and a foot held on the right activating the 80-second looper⁶.

The onboard expression pedal supports both parameter control and output volume control, so it can act as a volume pedal or be mapped to effect parameters such as wah or delay level¹. The original GE150's expression pedal was programmable in the same spirit, and gearnews noted at launch that the onboard expression pedal and tap tempo let you adjust effect parameters easily⁴³.

For comparison within the family:

The GE150 Max goes furthest on control: its 8-footswitch layout allows instant preset changes, effect toggling, bank switching, tuner access and tap tempo, with four footswitches dedicated to switching between the four presets of each bank²⁸.

Power and connections

The GE150 Pro's AUX In interface supports line-in audio input, allowing connection to mobile phones or external audio players for practice, so you can play along with backing tracks without extra hardware¹. The original GE150 also had a headphone output for silent practice⁵.

Power depends on which version you buy:

• GE150 Pro (standard): white enclosure, mains-powered¹
• GE150 Pro Li: vibrant red enclosure, built-in lithium battery providing up to 9 hours of play time¹

Guitar World's review of the Pro Li confirms the built-in lithium battery provides up to nine hours of playing time⁹. The original GE150 ran on a 9V DC supply, center negative, at 300 mA, with the power supply included⁴⁶.

The GE150 family and its versions

The GE150 line began with the GE150 in 2019, which MusicRadar described as succeeding MOOER's GE100 and as scaled down from the GE300's slate, with around half as many models on offer¹⁰¹. Premier Guitar notes that the GE150 has since seen several significant improvements, including through the GE150 Pro and the GE150 Plus².

The current family breaks down like this:

• GE150 Pro: four footswitches, 200 presets, 55 preamps, 26 cabinets, 10 IR slots; white and mains-powered¹
• GE150 Pro Li: the Pro's feature set in red, with a built-in lithium battery for up to 9 hours of play¹⁹
• GE150 Plus: three footswitches, up to 198 preset patches, parameter-mappable expression pedal, aux input; available in standard white and a black Li version with up to 9 hours of battery use⁷
• GE150 Max and GE150 Max Li: 8-footswitch layout, 200 factory presets, integrated expression pedal; the Max Li runs on a built-in battery alongside its 9V DC 1.5A supply²⁸¹¹

MusicRadar's review of the GE150 Max Li lists its power as 9V DC 1.5A with a 2000 mAh lithium-ion battery (7.4 V / 14.8 Wh)¹¹.

The wider GE series also includes the AI-powered GE100 Pro, built on MOOER's third-generation hardware platform, and the GE1000, but the GE150 family remains the compact, preset-focused branch of the line¹².
