Mooer issues its ToneX challenger - the GS1000 Intelligent Amp Profiling Processor
So it’s fairly evident as to who Mooer is targeting here - with a kitchen-sink everything onboard approach for its flagship profiler / modeller. It comes in two versions - including an Li edition with onboard 7.4V 4750mAh rechargeable lithium battery - which lasts around 6 hours.
It uses the V2 version of Mooer’s MNRS technology (Mooer Non-Linear Response Sample) and it employs AI in various areas including the EQ-shaping. It also has 350+ Effects onboard, alongside a Groove Station Looper and Drum Machine. So this is a really fully fledged offering which beautifully combines Multi-FX with advanced Profiling and Modelling. It also has a touch-screen!
The White DC powered edition goes for $519 and, while the ’Li’ edition is at $579. While the regular ToneX is currently at $399, and the limited white edition is a $449. Considering everything that is onboard the GS1000 - it seems a very fair price - while I would have really pushed to make the regular edition $499 - it’s only $20 over that line currently - but that can still be very emotive within the psychology of purchasing decision making!
