With the GS1000 Li Intelligent Amp Profiling Processor, the effects specialists at Mooer have expanded their portfolio with a multi-effects device that will satisfy even the most demanding professional users. This compact floorboard features simulations of gain pedasl, preamps, amplifiers, and speakers, all generated using the innovative MNRS 2.0 sampling technology, complemented by over 350 high-quality effects and an integrated groove station that comprises a drum machine and looper. All this is made accessible with an impressive range of both analogue and digital connections and interfaces that cover absolutely all the bases. The user interface of the Mooer GS1000 Li features a 5" colour touchscreen display for easy and intuitive navigation, and the pedal's integrated 7.4V/4750mAh lithium ion battery provides up to six hours of operation on a single charge.
At the heart of the Mooer GS1000 Li Intelligent Amp Profiling Processor is the 5" touchscreen mentioned above, which lets the player intuitively assemble their desired combination of amp models, speaker cabs, effects, and other system parameters. Users are also not restricted to the onboard selection of sounds and functions – immense though it may be – since they can also upload their own impulse responses (IRs) or import them from the Mooer Cloud. The GS1000 Li's internal features are not the only thing that displays its professional ambitions; they're also reflected in the extensive range of connections provided on the rear of the device. They include stereo inputs and outputs, a stereo effects loop, MIDI, headphone and expression pedal sockets, and a USB-C port for direct recording and computer editor-based control, all of which makes this "little black number" an outstandingly flexible solution. A duo of further practical extras are the microphone socket with switchable phantom power as well as Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless audio streaming.
The Mooer GS1000 Li Intelligent Amp Profiling Processor is aimed primarily at professional users who like their gear to be user-friendly; they can look forward to an impressive and flexible arsenal of sounds courtesy of the pedal's 350 top-quality effects, MNRS 2.0 sampling engine, and 120 slots for the user's own IRs. All of which make it a versatile and reliable tool that is ideal for both the stage and the recording studio. Despite boasting such professional features, however, the GS1000 Li is also an interesting proposition for less experienced guitarists on the lookout for a high-performance multi-effects unit that they can continually explore and experiment with as their skills improve. Its intuitive touchscreen-based operation lets musicians configure and adjust their presets and sounds quickly and easily, so even those who are new to the world of multi-effects gear will always have a clear sense of what they're doing.
Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.
Whether it's providing the central sound source on a guitar or bass player's pedalboard, acting as a recording interface in the studio, or being combined with a drum machine, microphone, and looper for some creative improvisation, the Mooer GS1000 Li is sure to adapt seamlessly to every application, its near-boundless capabilities limited only by the artist's own creativity. Not content to simply provide a wide selection of amplifier models, Mooer has also ensured a dynamic playing feel with plenty of presence across the whole spectrum – from clean and rhythm tones through to high-gain sounds. And there's always more creative potential to be tapped courtesy of the Mooer Cloud, which is regularly updated by the addition of new models, special presets, and IRs for the global GS1000 user community.
AI Equaliser
The Mooer GS1000 Li Intelligent Amp Profiling Processor features an AI equaliser, an innovative function that opens up an entirely new dimension of sound optimisation. The intelligent system uses AI algorithms to analyse the input signal in real time and adjusts the sound automatically to suit the user's playing style and the tonal characteristics required by the music being played. Unlike conventional equalisers, which require the frequencies to be adjusted manually, the AI equaliser does the work automatically – this really makes it a key feature, turning the Mooer GS1000 Li into an extremely user-friendly tool that will capably handle a wide range of musical applications and styles.
