Here’s What Mooer Say:
The GE300 from Mooer is the flagship multi-effect instrument processor. By combining the well-received Micro Preamp series, Tone Capture instrument matching technology, tri-voice polyphonic synthesizer module, and a wide-range of guitar effects and tools, the GE300 embellishes every single motive for creation from your mind with nuanced details.
The GE300 contains dual-DSP processors delivering the fastidious detailed characterizes of every delay, reverb, modulation or amp model inside. Thanks to the intuitive and simple UI, controls, and connection ports, the GE300 is an all-in-one working station for musicians whether in a live situation, at home, or in the studio.
Built-in Synth Module
With the synth module, your instrument will be transformed into an electronic synthesizer without the need for special pickups or instrument modifications, allowing you to spark your creativity with more possibilities.
As you can see from the diagram, the synth engine has 3 independent voices with their own parameters for waveform, pitch, attack, level, filter and arpeggiator. The signal path from the instrument input is split and routed directly to the front of each synth voice so they remain completely parallel and independent from one another. The thru dry signal can also be mixed parallel to the entire synth effect block, so you can opt for synth only or mix it with your guitar signal.
Tone Capture Technology
Tone Capture is an intelligent learning and comparison engine that can be used to create your very own digital models by sampling real-life equipment. The GE300 is the only Mooer product that features three different Tone Capture modes:
Amp & Stomp mode can be used to sample your favourite stomp box or amplifier. This can then be applied to an existing amp or drive pedal model within a preset to transform it into your sample.
Guitar Mode allows you to capture the EQ characteristics of your instrument. Have you ever found yourself searching for a single instrument that has all the different guitar sounds you need? Be it classic country twang, warm ballsy blue tones, the funkadelic “4-position”, tight thrashing djent, Piezo acoustic-electric – Guitar Mode can sample any guitar, provided it has some form of pickup, and create a detailed digital guitar model using Mooer’s proprietary non-linear IR technology.
Cab Mode allows you to create your own Impulse Response models of speaker cabinets to use instead of using the CAB effect block already installed on the GE300.
