Hi Leo, another great video! I have the Zoom G5n and the Mooer GE300. While I really like the Zoom software interface and pedal board layout, the Mooer sounds incredbly so much better and realistic. I am blown away by the clean tones and real amp tones and feel of the GE300.
@@LeoGibsonGtr got a GE300 on the strength of this video & I am delighted with it!! Also bought your IR pack,. and they sound incredible! My favourite is the Vintage 30 + SM57. With the MkIV-C amp model it's amazing.
I used zoom in the past and always found the sound good but not great. This model is no different. I believe the Mooer wins on almost every criteria. And if you add in the profiling option, Zoom is not worth it even if the price was much lower. This was another great comparison video, but you sold me on axe FX in your earlier video.
With the MOORE GE1000 coming out, possibly neither however from the prices I have seen in my corner of the planet(Australia) the Zoom G11 is 300 to 500 dollars cheaper. I also felt the Zoom G11 with IR sounded nicer than the GE300 and so for that main and essential reason, I would probably go the Zoom and save the bucks. As for profiling, it's worth noting you can share patches with other users, so while no entire profiling as such, it's nice not hard to simply get the group of patches that someone is using and load them in and also as noted the Zoom allows for more user patches. Thanks for sharing.
I´m big fan of Zoom since a long time a go (I had the Zoom 9002!), but have to accept Mooer GE 300 is too much better, the Zoom G11 is really disappointing, I had big expectations on this.
I've had a few Zoom units too (9000S, 3030 and G7.1ut). The design of the G11 I don't think is very appealing and as stated above, the lack of balanced outputs is a negative in 2020.
I have been watching your reviews for months now and you are always in my suggested videos list so I figured with all the good work you put in for people like me that it was time to finally subscribe. Thanks for your work man!!!
no regrets on my ge300 so far i could have had any board, helix, headrush the mooer beats every one of them. but nobody talks about the profiler feature!
how do you mean more analogue? and have you tried some of the amp packs from their websight? iv only tried a few myself but they are far and away better than what comes with it
@@hyperlovesyou . What he meant by more analog it means more natural and less digital, I now it's been a year now but felt I had to answer your doubt bro.
@@metallion0738 well i doubt you can hear the bit rate so i still have no idea what thats supposed to mean lol. these things are nothing more than IR loaders, which is common tech nowadays and even your phone can do what these do unless your referring to the IR files themselves but as i said you can get better ones. and since the manufacturer probs inst an expert on your prefered styles you might wanna do that anyway
You know what makes your channell better than anyone's leo is your 2 cents what one you would buy yah never leave us hanging although its subjective we really wanna know is it crap or what lol keep it up my friend tim from 🇨🇦
The Marshall test that Leo did, it looks like the zoom g11 is using the cab sim + IR. It should be using only the IR in order to sound better. The cab sim is the old simulation used on previous zoom multfx.
The real Marshall mas more highs in this recording. The mooer sounds more mellow with a smoother overdrive than the real Marshall but also muddier. The zoom sounds like an in between but to my ears sounded more similar to the Marshall. All sounded great in the end!
I think according to the comparison table they seem to be equal, but the sound is what really matters. And I like the sound of Mooer better. I used to own a Zoom earlier, and I liked it. Now I've got a Digitech. I did not plan the replace my device, but if did so, I would also pick the Mooer.
Hey Leo! Your "vs" videos are just great and I have been binge watching them since I found out about your channel 2 weeks ago. I am having some critique though: 1) while I understand that the tone capture feature is a killer feature for you, I would have been so curious what the winners in all these contest were disregarding this feature. I couldn't care less about that feature, I care most about sound and "playability" of the modeler. 2) regarding "playability", I think it would be very great if you could drop some thoughts about how it "feels" to play the modeler, regardless of the sound. How is it responding to dynamics, how does it feel to play compared to the real deal. Don't get me wrong. Your videos are the best any way... 👍😉
Hi Micheal, thank you for your message and your suggestion!!!! I really understand what you mean! My consideration is that playability and feel are very subjective and talking about them I would introduce a lot of biased opinion..that I cannot justify with facts. That's the reason why I tend not to comment about feel and playability. Nevertheless, I totally understand your point and I will see if I can find a way to talk about these topics without been to biased. Thank you once more for your contribution and your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr I thought the Mooer with the cab ir sounded real good..btw - your marshall amp is killer.. What IR were you using with the Mooer ? Does the Mooer sound good across the board using that ir .including clean sounds like a fender Twin or a JC 120 ? The Mooer sounded good with the ir .. that's the difference for me making the Mooer the winner ..
@@LeoGibsonGtr Went to Celestion's website and couldn't find the "greenback 4x 12 G12 open back cab" saw a bunch of closed back ones though.. and was the ir 75 or 65 watts .. If you have a direct link it would be helpful thanks
It was strange how the G11 sounded so close to the real JCM800 with SM57 microphone but then sounded so dark when compared to the real amp with the custom IR.
Hi David...I was really surprised too...this tell us that the Mooer Amp modeling is pretty nice and they have room to improve the cab simulation...for the Zoom it seem the opposite: the have to improve the amp simulation...I'm just guessing.... Thank you for your message!
Yes, I'm also surprised by that behaviour. But it's quite strange that the CAB IR made such a difference... Because, what happens then? Is it that Zoom made an IR to correct the darkness of the amp sim? Nos really a logical guessing. Anyway, I'm a big fan of Zoom, had 4 units and currently own the G1X Four (which is an absolute steal for the price and possibilities), but agree with Leo in the profiling capability of Mooer. That's the big feature that makes the difference. Also, not having the possibility of using more than 2 switches to change presets in the Zoom... Is a downstep for me. Mooer let's you choose between manual and presets mode, and even for 5 or 10 presets modes. Good unit from Zoom, but it has strong cons for the price.
Thank you, I'm really happy you like the video!!!! May I ask you to clarify better? I'm not sure I understood what you mean with "record from the Au to the looper".
@@LeoGibsonGtr in stand-alone loopers such as Boss RC3 or Digitech Jamman solo, you can loop an audio that comes from the Aux, just as you would from the guitar input. Neither Multi effects such as Zoom B1/G1Four (with built in smaller looper), nor G3n can do that. Don’t know about the G11, or the others(HX, Mooer etc)..and it would be nice to have if you want to use your own”imported” drum loop “on the go”. The drum patterns on the Zoom mfxs. are improving from generation to generation but are still kinda limited..you sound great btw:)
Two things: proprietary power supply is a negative, though a trade off for size/weight of main unit. Also, the Zoom not having balanced outs is a big negative to me in 2020.
Hi Scott, thank you! Yes, it is also strange that Zoom put an high quality converter inside this machine and then they don't but balanced outs....pretty odd decision!

Thank you for this useful comparison Leo. I really like your way of comparing the devices. Concrete and objective. I'm looking for a possible substitute for my pod HD500x+Mooer Radar.

Maybe the Ge300, it's really interesting... At the end, we mainly use only a part of the hundreds of effects offered by these devices, so we have to be concrete about what we really need. I'm looking around just in case it will break or have problems, so these videos are good.
Thank you Daniele, really appreciated! Yes, I do agree with you, today amp modeling pedalboards are really offering a lot of features, and everyone of us has to try to select the really useful functions, connections, effects, amps according to his needs! Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Leo, passing to a GE300 from an HD500X+Radar, would you consider it an upgrade or substantially equal, if not a downgrade? Frankly :-) Thanx
Hi Leo, it seems to me that the lack of LEDs in the switches in the lower area of the G11 are a real drawback for the banck function, it is not very focused for those of us who play in presets mode. Sound wise, and it's my humble opinion, they both sound terrible! Saludos!!
@luvsatriani Ks Personally, I have always liked boss products.The gx100 sounds great, the playability and flexibility of the settings and dynamic range make it one of the best products on the market today.
Hi Leo many thanks for your videos and I agree with you for me GE 300 are better machine (I have one 😜) if it’s possible for you will be very interesting if you can show for GE300 sounds of famous guitarist and how have his sounds, is only a suggestion. Thanks a lot for all. Kind regards from Barcelona
the G11 has crappy IR handling, but run through a real cab, or running the Zoom DI into a software IR loader, as you showed in the last few examples, sounded better than the Mooer, or at least comparable, but using the onboard IR made the Mooer sounds LEAGUES better, as the Zoom sounds... lifeless, and even muddy. While I have a studio quality, rack mountable power amp, and would happily use it live with my 4x12 cab, I would use this for the described scenario I just detailed. However, a good 60-70, maybe even 75%, of people would NOT use it in that way, and would use it as an AIO solution like that, which, tbh, is likely the intended usage, anyway, which given how terrible the G11 sounds when used that way, is... disappointing.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion! IRs nowadays are pretty common and there are a tons a good ones around, so it is still surprising me that some amp modeling pedalboards builder does not put enough energy and focus on good IR. Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr tbh it's more about the way the G11 actually HANDLES impulse response processing, as the same custom IR sounded like hot garbage on the G11, but sounded great on the GE 300. Meanwhile, the G11 sounded better played through an actual cabinet and mic than the GE 300. For someone with a power amp and cab, or someone with a Mooer Radar or Nu>X Solid Studio, the Zoom would be great. I own a Zoom G1XOn, and have owned multiple Zoom interfaces, from the original hand-me-down 505 from my dad, to the 505 II he bought for himself that I used more than he did, to the G7.1 Ut that I owned at one point, the built in cabinet sounds are always TERRIBLE. The amp sims and pedal sims and the WAH and the echos, delays, flangers, and verbs, literally anything else is usually at least PASSABLE, and they've just been getting better and better and better, but the cabinet sounds has gotten WORSE, if anything. Never buy a Zoom pedal for the cab sims, and they'll never disappoint you. Buy one for that, and you'll be let down every time.
Another great review video and killer demo track! How does the GE 300 stack up against the POD Go? Would love to hear your thoughts as the POD is almost half the price. God bless and rock on 😎👍🎸
Hi, thank you so much!!! I've done a video comparison between the POD GO and the GE 300...so ... I need time to compare the POD GO also to the GE 300....thank you for you patience!!! God bless you tooooo!
With internal CABs both are incomparable with Real JCM and also with IR a lot of high frequencies seems lacking especially on Zoom: is this really the best sound that can be produced? Would be better with Line6 or Headrush? Thanks
I just bought the Mooer GE300... a little bit disappointed, I had high expectations on this, unfortunately the sound is to “crispy” on distortion and reverbs and chorus sound really chip. And for 720 dls I can take nothing “chip” on this pedal board. I have already returned it.
Mooer wins here. I think zoom g5n with external ir pedal = sound of zoom g11. I like sound of my g5n, but GE labs software sounds way better. If mooer ge300 sounds exact like ge labs then i will immediately buy ge300 lite =)
@@colindias4820 g5n has some problems with creating good tone to sit in mix, with strong bass and not muddy overall tone. It possible but with different compressors before and after amp.
@@АндрейПолевой-я5иso hello again ... are you talking about playing live or recording ? Cos playing live it's really good and it cuts through.. and in a studio mix too.. it's pretty decent .. maybe you can check out my channel where I play solo with the g5n .. and let me know what you think of the tone .. thanks ..
Mooer sounds pretty close to the amp with the custom IR. Zoom just sounds bad all the way. So if you have the possibility, depending on the stage you play, go for the real amp. GE 300 is for those places where you can't set up an amp with a cabinet.
Hi Sarah, currently I don't own neither of the two units...but I will get an MG 300 and I have a Fractal FM3...so maybe I will do something like this. Thank you for your suggestion!
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion. Many of you are asking a comparison between the G11 and the G5. If I will be able to find a good second hand g5 maybe I'm gonna do a video comparison. Thank you!
The mooer ge 300 gets the sound close of the jcm 800 amp than the zoom g11 And for its price you can load profiles For this one , mooer ge 300 got my vote

Scommetterei non solo sulla nazione (Italia) ma con buona probabilità anche sulla regione (Veneto) e forse anche sulla provincia (quella erre arrotata...). Ma forse è di Dubrovnik ed ha solo caricato una IR di terza parte veneziana 🤣
Hi, the Iridium is a solid option, especially coupled with something like the Plethora X5...I did a video about this couple, that you may want to check out here: ruclips.net/video/2ntzOw-BuL8/видео.html. . Thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
Can't believe Zoom insists on doing this ridiculous underpowered DSP. TS drive and the amp plus cab already took 46% of the processing power! Simply ridiculous! It makes it impossible to use all the best effects at the same time.
@@LeoGibsonGtr would you please make a video commenting on this? My G5n had that as well. The best drives and rebverbs would take 20% of processing power each. It would be interesting to see if Zoom has finally improved on that front. Thanks.
Hi Paulo, thank you for your suggestion...I will check out if this is compatible with the video schedule. Sorry, but my channel is still small and I'm doing everything by my own...so I need time to make videos. Thank you for your patience!
Hi, the cab influences a lot the final sound. We don't know how they did them, but it's very rare to find two stock cabs from different manufactures that sound similar. I don't know why, but typically external IRs sound better. Thank you for your message!

Hi Leo many thanks for your videos and I agree with you for me GE 300 are better machine (I have one 😜) if it’s possible for you will be very interesting if you can show for GE300 sounds of famous guitarist and how have his sounds, is only a suggestion.
Thanks a lot for all.
Kind regards from Barcelona
Hi, thank you!!! Yes, you are right...I should do videos about great guitarist...I need to find the time...Thank you for your message!
Following you, above all for your great demo songs 😬
Thank you, this is an amazing compliment Stefano!!! Really appreciated!
Please please make a Review on Zoom G5n aswell 🙏🙏🙏
Mooer all the way!
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
I have only seen 2min and I like the mooer better
Hi thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
G11 hands down
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
the G11 has crappy IR handling, but run through a real cab, or running the Zoom DI into a software IR loader, as you showed in the last few examples, sounded better than the Mooer, or at least comparable, but using the onboard IR made the Mooer sounds LEAGUES better, as the Zoom sounds... lifeless, and even muddy. While I have a studio quality, rack mountable power amp, and would happily use it live with my 4x12 cab, I would use this for the described scenario I just detailed. However, a good 60-70, maybe even 75%, of people would NOT use it in that way, and would use it as an AIO solution like that, which, tbh, is likely the intended usage, anyway, which given how terrible the G11 sounds when used that way, is... disappointing.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion! IRs nowadays are pretty common and there are a tons a good ones around, so it is still surprising me that some amp modeling pedalboards builder does not put enough energy and focus on good IR.
Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr tbh it's more about the way the G11 actually HANDLES impulse response processing, as the same custom IR sounded like hot garbage on the G11, but sounded great on the GE 300. Meanwhile, the G11 sounded better played through an actual cabinet and mic than the GE 300. For someone with a power amp and cab, or someone with a Mooer Radar or Nu>X Solid Studio, the Zoom would be great. I own a Zoom G1XOn, and have owned multiple Zoom interfaces, from the original hand-me-down 505 from my dad, to the 505 II he bought for himself that I used more than he did, to the G7.1 Ut that I owned at one point, the built in cabinet sounds are always TERRIBLE. The amp sims and pedal sims and the WAH and the echos, delays, flangers, and verbs, literally anything else is usually at least PASSABLE, and they've just been getting better and better and better, but the cabinet sounds has gotten WORSE, if anything. Never buy a Zoom pedal for the cab sims, and they'll never disappoint you. Buy one for that, and you'll be let down every time.
Very interesting! Thank you!
Another great review video and killer demo track! How does the GE 300 stack up against the POD Go? Would love to hear your thoughts as the POD is almost half the price. God bless and rock on 😎👍🎸
Hi, thank you so much!!! I've done a video comparison between the POD GO and the GE 300...so ... I need time to compare the POD GO also to the GE 300....thank you for you patience!!! God bless you tooooo!
With internal CABs both are incomparable with Real JCM and also with IR a lot of high frequencies seems lacking especially on Zoom: is this really the best sound that can be produced? Would be better with Line6 or Headrush? Thanks
I'll go for mooer🥰
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
I just bought the Mooer GE300... a little bit disappointed, I had high expectations on this, unfortunately the sound is to “crispy” on distortion and reverbs and chorus sound really chip. And for 720 dls I can take nothing “chip” on this pedal board. I have already returned it.
Hi Erick, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience.
Mooer wins here.
I think zoom g5n with external ir pedal = sound of zoom g11.
I like sound of my g5n, but GE labs software sounds way better.
If mooer ge300 sounds exact like ge labs then i will immediately buy ge300 lite =)
I love my zoom g5n as well
.
@@colindias4820 g5n has some problems with creating good tone to sit in mix, with strong bass and not muddy overall tone.
It possible but with different compressors before and after amp.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion with us. Actually you can load in the GE 300 the profiles done with the GE Labs. Thank you for your message!
@@АндрейПолевой-я5иso hello again ... are you talking about playing live or recording ? Cos playing live it's really good and it cuts through.. and in a studio mix too.. it's pretty decent .. maybe you can check out my channel where I play solo with the g5n .. and let me know what you think of the tone .. thanks ..
@@LeoGibsonGtr but are there the same sound of effects? And there are no poweramp section in ge300
Very Interesting !!
Thank you, your feedback and support is super important for me!
Mooer sounds pretty close to the amp with the custom IR. Zoom just sounds bad all the way.
So if you have the possibility, depending on the stage you play, go for the real amp. GE 300 is for those places where you can't set up an amp with a cabinet.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
Νice video Leo! First comes your playing and last come the machines :)
Thank you, your comment makes me happy 😃!
Wow. Now that was good.
Thank you!
can you compare nux mg300 vs axe fx iii
Hi Sarah, currently I don't own neither of the two units...but I will get an MG 300 and I have a Fractal FM3...so maybe I will do something like this. Thank you for your suggestion!
Thanks!
You are welcome!!!
Zoom g3x g5 still the best
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion. Many of you are asking a comparison between the G11 and the G5. If I will be able to find a good second hand g5 maybe I'm gonna do a video comparison. Thank you!
i pick the g11 over ge300 it sounds way better
ok, thank you for sharing!
The mooer ge 300 gets the sound close of the jcm 800 amp than the zoom g11
And for its price you can load profiles
For this one , mooer ge 300 got my vote
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
Mamma mia che suonare! Leo are you italian?
Thank you very much! your compliments are really important for me! well ... I’ve promised that I will reveal my nationality as soon as I will reach 10k subs.... if ever :)
Scommetterei non solo sulla nazione (Italia) ma con buona probabilità anche sulla regione (Veneto) e forse anche sulla provincia (quella erre arrotata...). Ma forse è di Dubrovnik ed ha solo caricato una IR di terza parte veneziana 🤣
Excelente.
Does g11 has a pitch delay as g5
Zoom has difficulties on transients for me.
Thank you for sharing!
I prefer ge300
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
The zoom sounds terrible.. the Mooer didnt sound that much better until the IR. With that JCM would have been nice to hear a hot humbucker
Zoom g5n with ir wins
Even the g3xn is damn good I would never upgrade to g11 in my opinion is still far behind all these multi fx pedals in its price range
Ok imma buy strymon iridium then
Hi, the Iridium is a solid option, especially coupled with something like the Plethora X5...I did a video about this couple, that you may want to check out here: ruclips.net/video/2ntzOw-BuL8/видео.html. . Thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
@@LeoGibsonGtr i was thinking on pairing it with helix fx since I'm way more familiar with line 6 stuff
Odotan mielenkiinnolla ja laitan sitten lisää selvennystä
Hi, I'm sorry, but I don't understand your language...therefore I can't reply
Mooer is the better choice...
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!!! The profiling procedure is a cool feature indeed...
@@LeoGibsonGtr yes it's great (I use a jtm45 profile, I love it) ...and I still haven't used the tone capture and the synth.
Ok, thank you for sharing!
Na ordem : real, mooer ge 300, g11.
Can't believe Zoom insists on doing this ridiculous underpowered DSP. TS drive and the amp plus cab already took 46% of the processing power! Simply ridiculous! It makes it impossible to use all the best effects at the same time.
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience and opinion with us!
@@LeoGibsonGtr would you please make a video commenting on this? My G5n had that as well. The best drives and rebverbs would take 20% of processing power each. It would be interesting to see if Zoom has finally improved on that front. Thanks.
Hi Paulo, thank you for your suggestion...I will check out if this is compatible with the video schedule. Sorry, but my channel is still small and I'm doing everything by my own...so I need time to make videos. Thank you for your patience!
Prof paulo totally agree the zoom g5 had better processing power than the g5 from my experience also like they went backwards from the G5,G3,G1xon
How are the amp sim in both the products sounding so different? Are people deaf at Zoom / Mooer???!!!!!
Hi, may I ask you if are you referring to the sounds with IR or with the stock cabs?
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr stock Cabs.....the IR’s makes them sound closer to the real amp ...
Hi, the cab influences a lot the final sound. We don't know how they did them, but it's very rare to find two stock cabs from different manufactures that sound similar. I don't know why, but typically external IRs sound better.
Thank you for your message!
Gigged with both. The GE300 is crap live compared to the G11
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience!
Zoom still behind!...
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion with us!
Ciao Leo, e questa l'abbiamo considerata? Senti un po' che suoni! Certo, ha pochi tasti, ma... ruclips.net/video/tal_L_5STP4/видео.html
Ciao Roberto...è in lista 😊 ...ma non è ancora disponibile all'acquisto...se non comprandola direttamente dalla Cina...Grazie per il suggerimento!
GE300 is toy for children. Terrible reverbs, delays. No stereo!!! modulation effects like chorus and more.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
Without a mix, both sounded like the guitar amp is packed in bubble wrap....
