Really liked the format for this video. The way the display was shown while you were going through and sampling effects options was really helpful in giving me an idea of what to expect with this device. Thanks man!
These types of practice tools are amazing. I picked up a Fender Mustang Micro about a month ago and have found myself playing daily since. It sat around the $150 (Canadian) price tag, but the amount of improvement I've seen is insane. Playing more had me pick up on more patterns, get faster and more precise. I'm not saying these are magic, but the accessibility of plugging in something small and quiet, having effects to cycle through easily, all make it that much easier to want to practice more frequwntly. All with peace of mind that you aren't making too much noise..And I would be lying if I didn't admit it's nice that no one has to hear my mistakes either!
Great demo! I've had the MOOER for about 6 months now and learned some things from this video that I honestly didn't know it could do. I personally love the versatility of it. It's great if people in the house are sleeping and I just want to play, or maybe people are trying to watch TV. I can be in the same room as the family and not disturb them. To me, well worth the $130 I paid for it (sale). Well, well worth it. Thanks again for the great review!
For practicing, roaming around the house and not bothering anyone this is a great piece. It has everything I need and to top it off it sounds great too,
I was just looking around for something like this. I sold my practice amp and thought I’d just use my computer to practice but it was just cumbersome to carry my laptop different places with the interface and all that. This is a great solution, and cheaper then most practice amps.
Yeah same. I like using plug-ins and a laptop but it’s just so much stuff anchoring you down. Like if I go on vacation, this works way better than having to setup a laptop and interface, plug into a wall, etc.
I messaged you to do a video on this today lol. I think you'll be carrying this when you're touring from now on. You can even use it as a backup rig if your amp or Axe FX dies while on stage. Will definitely grab it at somepoint.
@@TaylorDanley Was talking to Ronny and Apoplexia in Royce's discord about getting a travel amp, and this really came in handy. Yeah we talk on Instagram from time, either about music,martial arts etc.
i drove cab during the heyday of the rockman, the rockman and my honer steinberger copy were an absolute lifesaver while i waited at the airport for fares
That's pretty awesome. I had a Scholz Rockman X100 about 30 years ago that I traded my neighbor's son for a Gameboy that I had and that thing turned out to be one of the greatest sounding pieces of gear I've ever owned,even to this day. I would plug a Sony Walkman into it and I could play along with cassette tapes. I could also plug it into my home stereo with an rca adapter and into my car stereo with a cassette adapter. I remember playing along with the Megadeth Peace Sells But Who's Buying album and it being eerily similar in sound. I came to find out that Chris Poland actually used one in the recording. I've also heard that Def Leopard used one in several of their songs as well. Sure wish I still had that thing. Tom Scholz was a true genius (and an MIT graduate and engineer). I read somewhere that he not only designed these units, but the first instimatic camera as well.
I remember my dad buying me a rockman because he got tried of me playing my randall at 2 am waking him up. Best thing EVER! I STILL LOVE MY ROCKMAN METAL.
Coming from a design background, this is one of the first pieces of gear that really excites me. super useable interface and intuitive design. And it sounds good! I feel like this is perfect for people who travel a lot too..grab this + a headless guitar and you have a very capable travel rig for practicing and writing.
I had an early Rockman, but it did not hold up very well. Around 2001 I got a Korg ToneWorks (Pandora) PX4. 21 years later and it is still great. This was the days before anyone thought about smart phones, so all of the controls are on the unit. Very easy to use. Great sound. It has some effects / sounds that you just can't find elsewhere in DSP land.
Someone else may have already mentioned it, but one of the cool features I use with the P1 is connecting it to my phone with a usb-c to usb-c cable as a mic source, to record video. The audio is so much better than using the phone mic!
@@scotttwitchell5121 I would like to buy one , I read the comments complaining about the monophonic tones. But as you say its fine, no regret to buy one
PDC (pretty darn cool) !! Mooer has always been a winner by my estimation. I've gotten so lazy though, I just keep the nylon acoustic on the bed then can roll over to practice, play whatever, and don't even need a pick!
Nice demo! There's a lot to like about this, but mostly the great sounds get me excited to check out the mooer floorboards. If this is the stuff they bring plus the ability to load in your own IRs then I'm sold!
Skeptikal when this link was sent to me, but you made it very clear how awesome this tiny device is. Not going to run out and buy one yet, but it certainly is very cool and am glad I know it’s out there. Cheers!
I’ve bought a NUX Mighty Plug MP-2 and I cannot understand that it’s already the second version and they still forgot a volume knob. And no review was pointing that out. So, having a volume knob and being able to move the effect blocks around is a huge plus in comparison to the NUX Mighty Plug. I’m thinking of changing now… 🤔
What's needed is a modern version of a Tascam Phrase Trainer.I know they have one but the one I loved was an MP GT1.That was excellent.Just need an updated one with DSP guitar sounds.Storing and navigating, looping, slowing down MP3s etc I use a slow down App now.
Well I picked this up along with the foot switch a couple pair of wireless guitar units, have the headrush 108 and 112. Can do well in coffee shop gigs and such.
I wanna know more about that Kelly. Edit: Okay, I figured it out. From just that much of it, you can see why I so confidently called it a Jackson Kelly, and that was why I couldn't find it anywhere. Based on the logo inlay I was also assuming it was somebody's signature. So I was looking for signature Kellys and that obviously failed. For anyone else in that situation, it's a Grimoire by Deviant Guitars. And the offscreen half of the body is significantly less Kelly.
The biggest disppointment for me is the fact everything is mono! Even if you run a backing track over bluetooth it sums that to mono too. Most of the other pocket amps are sterero and it feels like a bit of step backwards to me. Heaphones are isolating enough, why take away the stereo field that brings back some of that space?
How does it compare to the Fender Mustang Micro? I know the Mustang is cheaper, but does not have an app, what would be interesting though is a tone comparison.
Dude what is that guitar? o.o (Also, yeah, awesome pedal. It's insane what digital stuff and modelling can do nowadays and in what kind of small form factor. Wow!)
I was considering the Boss Pocket GT... and then this came out. Haven't seen any comparison between the two yet. The Mooer is significantly cheaper, can it compare on sound quality?
I had the pocket pod until it worked no more.Used it all the time.Would always be tangled in wires( headphone & guitar cable) .Is the headphones Bluetooth? That would be great then just the guitar cable.
Hi Taylor, Thx for the extensive video. Sounds awesome... I'm asking why to keep on carrying triaxis on stage ahahahaha. BTW, is there any mark sound in this device?any opinion please? Maybe you'll give a shoot to it, post it. Few secs, also. Cheers from Italy and Thx again for the video. Ciao. Pier
that lead tone sounds huge! i didn’t know you could put a phaser before the OD for a really great tone. i’m gonna try that and maybe grab one of these things for practice
I always wanted a rockman but never found one that worked when I was a teen. Found one at Sam ash but it was defective so I returned it and that was that.
Is it even possible to integrate some backing tracks audio to play along and listen both the guitar and the backing track on the headphones? Thanks for the video!
Two questions: What is the headphone volume/gain like? Can it get proper loud or is it like the iPhone where all the way up leaves you wanting more? Is your axe tuned down to D? It sounds quite deep and floppy. Would have been nice to hear some strat tones or different styles through that thing.
I owned the original Rockman headphone amp. When I first got married and lived in an apartment where I couldn’t use an amp, this was a lifesaver. I have to say, IMO the Rockman sounded WAY better.
Great review! Have you uploaded some of your patches into the cloud? I agree that it misses oportunity to load samples from Mooerstudio page, hope they add it in a feauture. Also missing great Cali MK4 C from GE Labs, best amp model for my personal taste
I heard this only comes with three amps in it. Is that true? I really like the Powerball setting you had. I may have to get it just for that. Love your videos.I just subscribed. Keep up the good work.
@@TaylorDanleySo sorry I never heard you say 52 amps in your video. Maybe you could find somebody to master your videos because your talking is way lower than your playing. Then we wouldn't have to ride the volume on your whole video. That's where they take a program it make the highest peaks and all the lows all even. Thus your viewers won't have ride their volume for the whole video. You know you might even get more viewers. Nice video quality. Good luck.
Pretty good overall. I was disappointed that we got teased with the Rockman but never even tried to get that tone that people are screaming for. If I knew it could even come close I would have already bought it. Also 95 percent of the demo was shredding which I don't even consider solo music. My gig is just me a guitar into a PA and playing yacht rock for paying customers. Chugging at lite speed will wipe out a sunset crowd and get you fired faster than anything. If you do another demo, get an old guy that plays the Beatles or Eagles. Then we will know alot more. Thanks.

I love it for that. I used it yesterday while my baby was sleeping and I had to be inside keeping an eye on her.

You can even use it as a backup rig if your amp or Axe FX dies while on stage.

You did? Well here you go! Yeah if I was still touring 100000000% would be using this to practice and kill time in the van!

Mooer's answer to the Positive Grid Spark craze. Looks like it could be a great plug and play practice solution 🔥
More comparable to Positive Grid Riff

i ve had a few still have the last good one. 80 second looper , beats , bass,100,s of voices
I have the pandora px4 also, great unit it cost me a fortune in batteries 😄
Someone else may have already mentioned it, but one of the cool features I use with the P1 is connecting it to my phone with a usb-c to usb-c cable as a mic source, to record video. The audio is so much better than using the phone mic!
Did you get good sound quality from directly mobile recording? without using an audio interface?
@@egemensozer4983 I think it sounded pretty damn good for what it is. I haven't tried it through a PC to see how that would work.
@@scotttwitchell5121 I would like to buy one , I read the comments complaining about the monophonic tones. But as you say its fine, no regret to buy one
Hey, could you compare this Mooer Prime P1 with Mooer Ge150? I'm so curious abt diffrences of these two unit.
PDC (pretty darn cool) !! Mooer has always been a winner by my estimation. I've gotten so lazy though, I just keep the nylon acoustic on the bed then can roll over to practice, play whatever, and don't even need a pick!
6:05 tempest by tool? it reminds me of that song
Nice demo! There's a lot to like about this, but mostly the great sounds get me excited to check out the mooer floorboards. If this is the stuff they bring plus the ability to load in your own IRs then I'm sold!
I had an original KORG Pandora's Box, it was the first time I could walk around plugged in with headphones and play completely wireless.
Oh man, Korg had one too? That old school korg tuner was my first one! I used to always leave it on and drain the battery 🤦♂️
This is pretty cool, would be good for practicing guitar on break
💯 perfect for that
Skeptikal when this link was sent to me, but you made it very clear how awesome this tiny device is. Not going to run out and buy one yet, but it certainly is very cool and am glad I know it’s out there. Cheers!
Two mooer days and it will arrive can’t wait to test it out
💪
That Mandalorean T-shirt looks cool🤘🏻
Have a had a Rockman since the early 90s , I just recently cleaned and lubed the switches and jacks the chorus still can’t be beat on it.
Love it. Those things are so cool! I remember daisy chaining them with my friend who played bass and headphone jamming 🤣
The rock man was a revelation to guitarists of my generation , I loved it , and the sound quality was good as well
Vox Amplug always turned heads when jamming at the gate at the airport waiting for a flight.
I have more than enough practice equipment, but holy crap does that sound awesome! Good stuff.
last night our guitar player used it live AND It sounded Great
Yep, I used one! It was so cool 30 years ago!
Totally had a Rockman Guitar Ace. Soo Good!
I have used this when I was a teen. Tom Schultz from the band Boston invented the Rockman.
I’ve bought a NUX Mighty Plug MP-2 and I cannot understand that it’s already the second version and they still forgot a volume knob. And no review was pointing that out.
So, having a volume knob and being able to move the effect blocks around is a huge plus in comparison to the NUX Mighty Plug. I’m thinking of changing now… 🤔
The Rockman was my all time favorite practice amp, miss it sooo much
Great review. Im considering selling my cube baby sa cuvabe and get this one. Smaller and more versatile. This review made me sub to the channel 🤘🏽
Great attitude and review. Thanks
What's needed is a modern version of a Tascam Phrase Trainer.I know they have one but the one I loved was an MP GT1.That was excellent.Just need an updated one with DSP guitar sounds.Storing and navigating, looping, slowing down MP3s etc
I use a slow down App now.
I never got to check out the rockman but I used to use a Zoom 505 back in the day to practice with headphones.
I was a Rockman user loved it I am thinking about one of these
5:10 If you turn the captions on you can see that "practiceness" is a word hah
I’d love to see you rip on some Mesa mark series amps. I have a Mesa boogie mark 5 35 and it rips. Mark 4 mode is personally my favorite
Had a Rockman all through the 80s. I use the Boss Pocket GT for stuff like this, but am always into good tones. 🤘🏻
Can i use this directly as an audio interface to my laptop?
Would be a blast if you could review that thing with a bass guitar, too!
I don’t think anyone wants to hear how poorly I play bass 🤣
@@TaylorDanley
That's a pitty cuz there's noone doing a demo on bass for this 😅

Great demo! Can the updates be downloaded via cell phone/tablet? I don't have a PC.
That Crate solid state head tho 👀 you should demo it through a good cab and see if it holds up. The old crate speakers didn't do them justice
Still have all of my Rockman gear including the X100 AND the XP100!
I loved my Rockmam. My parents did too since they couldn’t hear it LOL.
and the test with the pedal board? greetings from chile

Most of the other pocket amps are sterero and it feels like a bit of step backwards to me. Heaphones are isolating enough, why take away the stereo field that brings back some of that space?
My first thought too, at a bare minimum a stereo Reverb
Yes, idiotic not to at least have stereo passthrough when playing a backing track.

All I Want this christmas is that IPod Classic
Is this Mono or Stereo?
No idea when I subscribed to this guy or if I even did but I'm not complaining. Thanks Google
Thanks google! 💪
Still no IR loading feature? Still waiting for something more :) And also, no firmware updates for GE multieffects since 2020? :/
How does it compare to the Fender Mustang Micro? I know the Mustang is cheaper, but does not have an app, what would be interesting though is a tone comparison.
Or you could just do a line out to a portable speaker like a jbl flip 4 and have a portsbke amp. Could be great for some buskin'.
Can you connect to it with a computer as I only have an old windows phone?
Dude what is that guitar? o.o
(Also, yeah, awesome pedal. It's insane what digital stuff and modelling can do nowadays and in what kind of small form factor. Wow!)

Just bought one and downloaded the app. When I scan the qr I get invalid serial number. Any idea why? It won't activate ao I can create any sounds
How it is possibile to start the Prime p 1 without Always load the firmware new after new startet?
Rockman was ahead of its time loved mine

Used to play on a Korg PX4b, back in the day.
I’m assuming since this can plug into an interface, it could also be used to record straight into a DAW? Is that correct?

how long does the battery last? how do u charge it?
New challenge for you (or me) is to use this for a live show with the foot controller.
Is it even possible to integrate some backing tracks audio to play along and listen both the guitar and the backing track on the headphones? Thanks for the video!
The Yamaha practice amps have that feature. Headphone jack and an aux input for backing tracks.
You can do that via Bluetooth
Two questions:
What is the headphone volume/gain like? Can it get proper loud or is it like the iPhone where all the way up leaves you wanting more?
Is your axe tuned down to D? It sounds quite deep and floppy. Would have been nice to hear some strat tones or different styles through that thing.
I use the P1 in the FX loop of my Quilter Superblock amp on my pedalboard. It works great. I see it as a poor man's Eventide H9! Hahaha.
I owned the original Rockman headphone amp. When I first got married and lived in an apartment where I couldn’t use an amp, this was a lifesaver.
I have to say, IMO the Rockman sounded WAY better.
Pretty cool, that rockman was the shit, love Boston👍
That Bluetooth phone interface makes me think a controller pedal could be coming in the future. That would be interesting.
I would say the Rockman needs to be remade.
All of Def Leppard’s Hysteria was recorded with one.
Hi Taylor, just a simple question - it seems that the output is mono - how about the phones output? Thank you. Ludek

I was disappointed that we got teased with the Rockman but never even tried to get that tone that people are screaming for. If I knew it could even come close I would have already bought it.
Also 95 percent of the demo was shredding which I don't even consider solo music.
