MOOER Prime P1 Multi-Effects Processor Headphone Amp, Bass Guitar Pedals with 126 Effects, Tuner, Amp, Metronome for Practice and Performance

Honestly I thought this wouldnt be a good pedal. But it far exceeded my expectation, the value for money that you get with this is awesome, quality of sound is amazing, Battery life is pretty good for a live gig and the power supply its a damn battery with a cable! this thing is practically a no brainer for gigging or just for practice. durability on this thing is just as good as other pedals youll find on the market! With bass i use some of the default presets and that's including Distortion. So far my favorite settings by far have been Finger 4, slap, FX01 and heavy 1. Distortion sounds amazing as it carries your bass guitar long and far and will cut through for a mix or live show! Finger 4 makes sure you can accompany your bandmates. fx01 is great for a tasteful solo, and slap is for fun in my opinion. overall a 5 star for bassists.

As someone who took over 15yrs off of guitar for life, family, house, career, etc... this thing has been truly been Indispensable to me. I can practice at any point in time in the day and not disturb anyone. Just bring this, my headphones, a guitar cable and guitar. Connect it up to my phone and done.Pros:Small form factor.Great sound.Lots of possible sound options. Mix and match pre-amps, amp heads, cabinets. Then some decent effects that you can add into your signal chain. I'm a metal head so I love being able to go through and play these replica Mesa, Orange, Dr Z, etc... amps/cabs. It's been a lot of fun.I like the looper feature. Being able to record something and then go back work on harmonies or do a lead (not me so much) or little melody over it.The built in drum beats are pretty limited. You aren't changing to crazy time signatures and mixing up different drum patterns and linking patterns together. Still, if you want to pick your BPM and pick the sound of your drums (genre driven), its fun to play along and create something.The tuner is a nice feature as well. Not needing to drop out of the MOOER P1 app to go to a different app to tune the guitar is nice.I like being able to control the mix level between what I'm trying to play along to on my phone and the output of the MOOER.The "cloud tone" options is nice as well as an option. Being able to create your own and save them and have them dump up to the cloud and be able to try other people's tones. All good things.Negatives, to me:Limited drum pattersBattery lasts about 4hrs before it needs to be charged again - it's advertised as such, but it doesn't change the fact its a negative.You can record yourself along with the drums using the looper, but sometimes this function doesn't work as expected. Sometimes you stop the drums and they keep going and maybe you don't want them in your loop.The volume control is easy to use, but it doesn't seem like you can get to a really fine adjustment where you want it.No real "online help". It kind of just kicks you to a YouTube video that doesn't have any audio to explain and do a deep dive on any of the features. Definitely watch reviews on YouTube to get a good idea of how powerful this device really is. Taylor Danley on YouTube does a decent review (IMO). I've watched at least 5 or 6 different reviews of the device before I bought it and even after owning it for a few months, Taylor's review taught me even more.No clear indicator if there is an update to the device. A software push or some sort of notification saying "hey, we've addressed some bugs or added some features and get your latest update in the Play store or something". ANYTHING, but nothing.The tone cloud or cloud tone or whatever you want to call it, its slow, its cumbersome. No great way to search it. You can download anything you want from there, but you will need to overwrite one of your existing presets that shipped with the unit. You may not care about the presets, but then again you may.No clear way to take those "cloud tones" and mark any as Favorites and quickly revisit your favorites.If you record something on the looper that you want to keep, there is no way to "export" that out as an MP3 or other audio file that you could potentially share or listen to on another device.READ the reviews. Watch Reviews (both sponsored and non sponsored) on YouTube. Find out if it is a good fit for you and what your needs are. It's great for me if I'm traveling and want to bring a guitar to play along. Maybe I want to bring a guitar to the office and play on my lunch break? Put one in a gig bag, toss in a cable, headphones and the MOOER and I'm good. It's nice to be around the family and be able to play with "an amp and effects" without disturbing them at all. Total win. I can't recommend it enough.Lastly - I gave it 4 out of 5 stars, because - sadly, there is always room for improvement. You've seen my negatives listed here. I'd like to be able to use bluetooth headphones instead of wired headphones. I'd like to be completely wireless (sadly, latency) but I can't be. I'd like more drum patterns. Be able to record more than 1 loop of music. Still, it is an amazing product for less than the cost of a decent practice amp. Just buy it.

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.

I'm surprised by the quality of something so small, highly customizable in the presets, and gives a good sound. Obviously, it can't be compared with real amplifiers, but it's a good start. It's also very small and the battery lasts quite a while.

I was sceptical, but I thought I would try it for the price. It can do a lot. Through the app, you can control the mix, and the drum loops and looper can sync together. For such a portable device, the functionality is amazing. IMHO, only about 1/4 of the effects are worth using. Half of the delays have a weird doubling artifact, and are only accidentally useful for a kind of Van Halenesc tone. The AC30 model is disappointing. It doesn't have the correct eq controls and sounds very dark, but the orange models can be used to get a good AC30 facsimile. To my ear, most of the 4×12 cabs sound weird, and the 1×12 cabs can be used to sound like a more real 4×12 cab. The Plexi, for example, works well with a mesa style 1×12 can along with a slight flanger and a healthy reverb to create a generic 80s Eric Johnson/Joe Satriani sound. The touch wah is absolutely fantastic when you want your guitar to have that funky quack.In conclusion I was able to get good tones for Brad Paisley, John Meyer, Guthrie Govan, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, and a decent John Petrucci(still working on that one).
