MOOER GL200

The MOOER GL200 is a stereo looper and drum machine in one pedal, part of Mooer's Groove Loop Series¹. It records guitar, bass or microphone input as stereo loops at 44.1 kHz and 24-bit, stores them across 100 memory slots with up to 800 minutes of total recording time, and pairs them with a drum machine engine offering 220 patterns in 11 styles, with AI that Mooer says adapts grooves to your playing¹. It builds on the earlier MOOER GL100 with expanded I/O, advanced looping, and a more powerful drum machine engine¹.

For a player, that combination means one box can hold a whole practice or live rig: a loop you build yourself, a drum groove underneath it, and a headphone output for silent playing. It sits in the same category as pedals like the BOSS RC-10R Rhythm Loop Station and the NUX JTC Drum & Loop Pro, combining the two functions covered separately by looping pedals and drum pedals¹²³.

Where it came from

The GL200 sits at the large end of Mooer's looper range, and its specification shows the scale of it: 100 memory locations holding a total of 800 minutes of recording time, three multi-functional footswitches, and a digital circuit¹². Its input section is built for more than a guitar alone, with an XLR/¼" combo input that provides phantom power alongside a second ¼" mono input¹.

That recording capacity is a step up from what compact loopers typically offer: 100 memory locations and 800 minutes of storage mean a player can keep whole sets of loops and drum patterns on the pedal rather than offloading them². The three multi-functional footswitches and tap tempo input for BPM adjustment are what make that material usable live².

The GL200 is a digital unit, and its file handling reflects that: it imports WAV, FLAC, APE, MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, MP4, MOV, WMA, AVI and MPEG files, and exports WAV¹. That import list covers both audio and video containers, so a player can pull practice material or backing tracks from a range of sources and work with it on the pedal¹.

The controls and touchscreen

The GL200 is built around a 1.28-inch round touchscreen with what Mooer calls an intuitive interface¹², used for status display and convenient function control². The GL100's similar 1.3-inch screen drew a positive note from Gearnews at launch: "A 1.3″ touchscreen provides clear visibility and intuitive control over the pedal's functions"⁴³.

Around the screen, the GL200 gives you three multi-functional footswitches² plus a set of buttons and switches:

Tempo can also be set by tap tempo input for BPM adjustment².

Power and connections

The GL200 runs on 9V DC at 500 mA, center positive, and Mooer advises using the original adapter for best performance¹. RockBoard lists the barrel connector as 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm, center negative, with power supplied via the included 9 VDC adapter²; the two sources disagree on polarity, so check the label on the supplied adapter before substituting another supply. At 500 mA this is not a battery pedal, and it will need its own tap on a power supply rather than a shared daisy chain output.

In the box you get:

• Power supply¹
• USB-C to USB-A cable¹
• 3.5mm TRS to 5-pin MIDI adapter¹
• Quick start guide¹

The rear panel carries the XLR/quarter inch combo input with phantom power, a quarter inch mono instrument input, two quarter inch mono outputs, an eighth inch stereo headphone output, USB-C, and dual TRS MIDI I/O for multi-device sync¹. The included TRS-to-5-pin adapter lets it talk to standard MIDI hardware¹.

Recording, drums and file handling

Loops are stored in 100 memory locations holding up to 800 minutes of recording time in total¹², captured at 44.1 kHz / 24-bit¹². The drum machine provides 220 patterns across 11 styles, with AI that adapts grooves to your playing¹.

Over USB-C the GL200 imports WAV, FLAC, APE, MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, MP4, MOV, WMA, AVI and MPEG files, and exports WAV¹, so backing tracks and stems from a computer can be loaded into the pedal's memory alongside recorded loops.
