got mine about 2 weeks ago and its pretty good as a quick rig/pratcice/headphone thing. took it to rehearsal last week end and it held itself, nothing extraordinary but it works
That's good news! Considering the price of the unit, the sounds and functionality it's a pretty strong package. Have you experimented with third party IRs? They can certainly help
I have the spark, the mini, and the go, by far, I use the mini the most and travel with it. Get's decently loud and the software is quite good, once you get the hang of changing stuff. Frequency response is good, but remember, it's got only 2 x 2"" speakers, so bass is not prevalent, but is good for fun, practice and entertaining a small crowd. I also use it for music and 'white noise' for sleeping in busy hotels, like I'm heading to in Vegas next month.
I love Mooer amp/cab sim technology and effects but I have to say (as a mooer products user) that I dont understand why mooer hasn't come yet with a "Mooer Stomp" with better connectivity and routing. Of course, Helix did it, Ampero did it, even Valeton too. Love your reviews! You always get great tones! Cheers!
Gotta say, the tones in this really didn't wow me. I wanted to like it as i think it's got a great form factor, but those tones sounded like modellers from 20 years ago. Great demo as always gent 👍
I didn’t mind the stock amps+cabs, but this unit does open up some more when you use IRs (something I opted not to do in this demo for simplicity’s sake). Cheers for stopping by!
@@KaiDowni got one of these based on a hype in Guitar ... I have to agree with that poster, the tones are pretty Chinese crap, a bit disappointing as the Mooer mini pedals are fantastic. These things dont have bypass which is shit when using with an amp. You can assign fx and cabs to the pedals and turn them on or off. What is IR?
Was thinking of buying this. As I have few band with different genre, was thinking of using it with a basic band setup. Does it work with live performances? Latency of switching effect?
Thanks for the new products, but I’m still waiting for the MS 50G+ in depth review as you promised :) I’m really curious about the sounds of the amps compared to the previous version but I guess it’s actually the same. Probably I have to wait the MS 80 IR+
I've been thinking about it a lot - it's been sat on my shelf ready to demo, but I don't think I'm going to do the full review on it. It's not something that fits into my rig or my workflow, but I am hoping to pick up the MS-70CDR+ which should be much more my speed. I think the lack of cabs and full amp models killed the 50 for me. My apologies if you were looking forward to it. It's something I'm still thinking about, but I don't love the idea of going in knowing that it's going to be a downer
Tough to say really - buying single pedals puts you into a long rabbithole, you'll constantly want to buy more accoutrements and it can be an expensive path. Modellers like this S1 are "buy once" kind of deals - you'll only need to spend money again when you feel the time is right to upgrade. In terms of sound quality, I'd say this unit is most of the way there, especially if you're just jamming at home.
I was planning to buy the Tank G. What lead me to buying the S1 instead is the user interface. Mooer Prime's interface is a lot easier to work around than the Tank G.
Is there a latency when switching effects on and off or when changing presets?
Great video, thank you.
I’m interested in how you would set up the banks for ease of use in a live situation. Wondered if others are too?

@@KaiDown no not yet but that sounds lika a good idea; to be honest im not even sure how this works...
I've got to say, I don't understand all this techno stuff but I do love listening to you play 😉💖
Would love to see a Positive Grid Spark Mini review from you.

It is posible to load IRs in this device??
It seems like a pretty neat unit. I was hoping the Mooer site had specific details about the effects that were included.

Agreed! Distortion and drive sounds like a metalzone from boss
Thank you 🙏
Is this better than Mooer GE200?

@@KaiDown that’s ok, I think I’m going to buy the MS80 IR because of the lack of cabs in the MS 50 G+ as you said
@@filtermat MS80 will be an awesome option! I think they tried to add a bit of everything to the 50 and kind of fell flat as a result
Hi Kai, great review! Can I add more than 1 modulation to a single patch? eg, chorus and flanger? Thanks!
Can you explain how you use the F4 pedal to change effects on and off?
Does it include an Acoustic Sim patch?
Is there a trail function?
Hi, great video there~! Based on your opinion, how does it compare to the Prime P2? Which do you find yourself using more? Thanks~! :)
Prime P2 + F4 footswitch is a much more versatile setup with better tones available, but S1 is a more cohesive compact unit
@KaiDown If the p2 has better tones, is it using a different software from the s1?
@@mulqueen82 Mostly the same, but the P2 has some additional models as well as stereo processing
Is S1 also for Acoustic guitars?
Hi Kai, I am interested in this pedal as well. How did you feel compared to mechanical pedals? Worth it?
Thanks,

I wonder if this can be used with an electro-acoustic guitar ? 🤔
It doesn’t have any acoustic-specific preamps, but I’d wager you could coax a nice tone out of it with some acoustic IRs, compression, EQ and reverb
What Acoustic ir would You choose?
Is this better than mvave tank g?
I’ve not tried it I’m afraid - thanks for asking about it though!
Mvave Tank g is good too

u look like Sam from lord of the rings
