MOOER P2 Multi-Effects Pedal Processor, Electric Guitar Bass Guitar Pedals with Amp MIDI Looper Drum Machine Touch Screen for Performance Practice Live Streaming

As far as a headphone amp goes, this little gadget is FANTASTIC! It's a blast to play with and puts many sounds in the palm of your hand in a VERY portable way. No sticker shock either! A great buy at the price. You can dial in SO many different sounds, giving you complete control over your tone. Very intuitive to use with many effects/tones to choose from. I wouldn't say the tones/effects are necessarily on par with more expensive gear, but it's well-made, and designed for completely portability. It's a great tool to have in your guitar case!

I am thoroughly impressed with the Mooer Prime p1! This will prove to be an indispensable tool for me. It has so many possible uses and simply sounds really amazing. I can use it as an entire rig (electric guitar, bass guitar, or acoustic electric) straight into my computer’s recording interface via 1/4” cable. I have also tried it in front of a traditional amp for using the dynamics, overdrive pedals, or even some of the modulation effects. I also like the results using it in the fx loop of the amp (after the preamp and before the power amp), getting some cool delay, reverb, and modulation after the preamp. And of course it could be used right into a PA at a live show. Or play it into headphones. What a useful tool! I really love that I can use it for not only electric guitar but bass and acoustic-electric as well. I think the Prime p1’s preamps and cabinet simulations sound fantastic, and there are a plethora to choose from. All of the effects sound great and can be arranged in whatever order you like. The iOS/Android app is very easy to use and connects to the Prime p1 via Bluetooth seamlessly. Within the app, you’ll have complete control over your setup and presets, and there are some other handy tools, like the looper, tuner, and drum machine. There is also direct recording into a mobile device via USB (haven’t tried that yet, but maybe I’ll use that feature one day as well). Be sure that your Prime p1 is on the latest firmware (go to “P1”, then “Settings,” scroll to bottom). The Prime p1 is a fantastic device that I would recommend to any guitarist or bassist.

Be prepared to have to upgrade the firmware... If you're equipped no biggy. As for me, I was prompted to upgrade the firmware via computer. (Couldn't just do it through the app) The pedal functions alright right out of the box. I simply can't set my own user preferences just yet. (I have the P1 which worked to a point) I didn't like having to use my phone to control the features.) The good part is I already had the cordless pedal for the P1 which works with this pedal as well. So I didn't to spend more money on that feature. I got this via Spring sale, paid $169.00. So for me even with the firmware headache can't complain much about cost! I finally got the firmware upgraded. Setting my personal preferences worked beautifully! Now I'm very happy with this Item! was sort of disappointed I couldn't just hardwire my audio source in, But is good for practice. Thanks!

This is a versatile amp and effects modeling processor in a package not unlike an iPod classic. It is smaller than an average guitar pedal, and doesn't really work as a pedal, itself (there is a linkable footswitch, but I don't have that). As far as onboard controls go, there is a button to switch between the first four presets (which can be your presets if you overwrite those slots), and a jog wheel for volume control. You long press the button to turn it on and off. When paired with an app, you get a lot more controls. There are a wide variety of amp and effect emulations, and I appreciate that you can move the order of the models around. In particular, I like the ability to run compressors, delays, and modulations either before or after the amp emulation. It worked well for playing with headphones right out of the box. I tried it through a Marshall half stack, both through the clean channel on the front end, and through the effects loop. It worked better through the effects loop with the amp and cab emulation, but had a lot more bass than I wanted to start with. After poking around the app a bit, I found a setting to run it that way, and it was much better. I am not sure I would use it that way all the time, because I have a lot of pedals. I think I might use it more as either a portable practice tool, or most likely, as a portable effects source for portable synthesizer jams, for which it is very well suited. I appreciate that the initial sound you access by default is a restrained clean tone with some delay, which sounds great on any synth (I mostly tested it with an Arturia Microfreak). When you dig into the app, there are a variety of effects that are rather more suited to synthesizer sounds (in particular, ring modulation and an automated filter sweep), and the touch screen interface works on those better as something you are going to adjust in real time. I find the range that many of the effects rather too large for many classic guitar sounds, but as sound design tools for synthesizers, they are pretty great. The internal battery works well for DAWless jamming, since it doesn't need to be plugged in like other effects pedals, so it's a lot less fiddly for that. With just USB power supplies for synths, you can be ready to go. The app also features onboard features like bluetooth audio streaming, drum patterns, a tuner, and a metronome, which can be handy for both practice and creative routing solutions. I have recently tried some other products like this, and while this one is more app-based with fewer controls on the actual device, but as an all-around solution for creating my own sounds in a variety of situations, I like this one. Other ones designed to plug into guitar jacks provide similar sounds and features, but are a bit fiddlier to use in effects loops and for synthesizers, and I think that is where this one shines.

The main problem for me is that the app stopped working, which means that I lose the most of its functionalities. The app has been working until recently. However, it stopped working suddenly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. I've tried two cell phones, but no luck. I also saw a message like "cannot connect to a server", which made me uneasy. As long as it works, it has decent sound and functionalities.
