Here it is 2024 and I just bought a used GE300 on Reverb for less than $450, with free shipping. :) I had one when they came out an it got sold as many things do, as my tone search goes on and on. :) Cheers mate!
Great intro track! Something told me not to sleep on the GT300!!😁😁 That is a great tool to record from and it gives you a simple all in one device to get any tone. The one thing that stood out is that Harley Benton bass you were playing! I’ve been wanting to try one out. Hopefully you will do a video on it🙏🏾 Another excellent demo Shane!! Cheers and stay safe!🎸🎸🎸🎵🎼
Thanks for the review .... I've been using a GE 200 live for about a year now. Perfect for a cover band like ours that plays a bit of everything! I've been contemplating on upgrading to the 300 and keeping the 200 as a back up. Think I'm now sold!!
Great review Shane , I have this unit and use it for live gigs. It sounds awesome live , I go direct to the board via the XLR mono out and then run the XLR stereo out to my little Vox 10 inch cabinet powered by a Mooer Baby Bomb to act as my own stage monitor. It's very easy to program and dial in your tone and you did a perfect job of showing that ! I would highly recommend this to anybody who needs a solid dependable multi effects unit that it user friendly and sounds fantastic. Cheers Shane !
Thank you for your live usage suggestions. Iv just been running my GE300 into my amps. I especially like your idea of using a small cab as a stage monitor +1. Cheers 🙏👍
Very late to this video but wanted to say thank you for the thought you put into making the settings and easy to follow production. Although iv had the GE300 a while and tweaked settings to my liking in various usage situations to great affect,I learned a lot in this video regarding classic amp sounds and the parameters involved . I also found your suggestions to be more satisfying than the original Amp settings that came with the unit I'll sub and thumbs up and look forward to learning more from you . Best 🙏👍
Thanks for putting time stamps. I skip video completely if I can't find what I am looking for. Because a lot of music videos make you fish around and some don't have the content the title suggests. Thanks again. Keep it up.
@ 0:11 - Someone's at the door! I thought it was my door bell at first. Isn't it the way? You just start something and the door bell rings. lolol Great unbiased review as always. Thanks Shane.
I don't have the GE-300 (yet) . I nearly went for the GE 200 after I'd had the Mooer RADAR for a while, but 'Circumstances' changed . Hopefully they'll improve ... One thing that's been staring me in the face for ages, but I only just actioned it, has been to put my Mooer RADAR in the Send/Return loop of my Interface. I'd had it just on the output of my pedal board but that board wasn't always in the chain. By having it in the Loop I can easily use it on what ever source I'm running into the DAW . In this new flat I've moved to I'm using Attenuator/Load-boxes more often so having an accessible IR unit is really helping. I dunno whether I'll be able to run to the 300 but I can see me having one of Mooer's GE range in the arsenal once things improve £s-wise ...
Hey, nice intro and the music is cool. Have you used this to clone your other amps or guitars yet? I just got one so I will be figuring that but curious what you've found. I don't have headrush, helix or Kemper. I do have gt10 and gt100. They both are fine. Just looking to capture my different guitars and amps into one pedal. It should be a blast.
Sounds ok to me. This unit very much a spin off of the Helix. However at half the cost of a helix it seems like a good option at first. Then I remember that the Helix was released in 2015 and is still very much actively supported by Line6. Where will this unit be in 5 years? I'm gonna guess it will be forgotten. I could be wrong though.
That’s a great point, I’m trying to figure out whether to go for a pod go, this, or a helix lt. Not sure yet, I can’t find anyone actually going through the editor and creating a signal chain, I would like to see dsp/effect limits, modes etc. There’s plenty of such reviews of the helix products
Hiya Shane, another great vid - thanks so much. I'd be very interested in your take as to how the amp, cab & FX quality of the GE300 compare with the Line 6 Pod Go (which effectively has Helix modelling)
Good demo Shane! Intro track was rockin'! \m/ As to the amp sims itself, mmm kinda ambivalent! The clean amp sounds you got were fantastic! Bright, glassy, chimey, nice reverb, EVERYTHING you would WANT from a clean valve type amp! Sounded AS good as 1! BUT, when you went to the OD amp sounds, they just sounded, (like many other of these units) harsh and icy picky! No warmth or character to it! Prob best used just as an effect unit, or as a clean amp sim and use a good, SEPARATE dirt box in front! I liked the effects you used from it tho, revs and delays sounded real nice. So it has some pluses and minuses. Cheers!
This thing is more expensive than a new Helix Stomp, and you can get a used Helix LT for not a lot more. I've owned two Mooer pedals. Neither were of the super cheap variety. One I just didn't like the sound of, but the other the footswitch broke after only a couple months of very light use. If these companies want us to even consider their more expensive stuff, they should make their cheaper stuff better.
Nice!!!! Will you make a review of profiling capabilities of their new iOS app GE Labs? Already using it a lot for reamping, sounds killer :) Thanks!!!!
My favorite youtuber but im sticking with Boss GT100. You can get it used for like 200 usd and is still a great unit in 2020 but thanks for the vid. take care
Sounds pretty good ... So your opinion is the solutions like this actually should be ran into a DI box into the pc/mac & used that way vs say in the effects loop of a amp ?
You can use this into an amplifier for sure but being it has so much in the way of cabs and amps sims a lot of people usually buy it for direct recording but either way is fine for sure. :)
Having had this unit for almost a year Now, I would recommend using FRFR speakers with it. My garage setup is two 15”speakers PA speakers and my lounge I have a similar smaller setup. This speaker allow you to get the most out of the unit in terms of the amp and cab modelling. By all means you can use this unit with an amp but then running the amp/can modelling through it can become muddy sounding and so most people turn them off when running the unit this way.... although I have heard some people like their own amp tone colouring the modelled amp/cab.
I kind of agree,it sounds ok but i am sure you could tweak it more to your liking but i am surprised shane likes it so much,i would rather buy the new line 6 pod go for less then half of what the GE300 cost!
I was looking to buy this but i am told lights on footswitchs are always on and they dont change or turn off when effect is switched.......can you please confirm this?????
IMHO - Get the tube amp first. Spend the money on something that will hold value and consider it an investment. These type of effects units are already beginning to flood the market and there will be more to come. They'll come and go while a well made tube amp will always be there for you.
@@hawkinthewind . Tube amps sound nice but are dated artifacts, ss amps are getting better and better to the point of leaving tube amps obsolete, that's why a lot of pros are using kempers nowadays in my opinion.
Ok. Some body clue me in. Why $988+$75 to ship fromThomann & yet locally almost $1300. I wanna support Oz business doin' it tough - but for a $250 perimium? No wonder some Oz business is having it rough. Probably not their fault - is it tarrifs?

I priced a Behringer 8 ch interface, 1 of the Uphoria models. The AU prices was over $600. On Thomann, I could get it for around A$250 + shipping of ~A$80, so A$330 shipped to my door from Germany! WTF does THAT tell you?
@@DMSProduktions Warranties always a bit of a concern when you're buying from oversea's. But then again, you could almost buy two for the price of one! It still shit's me that everythings produced in China, right next door and Europe can supply it to us cheaper, even with postage and import tax. Doesn't make sense, other than our government being a bunch of greedy pricks.
$700-$800 on Reverb right now. Nope. That’s more expensive than Headrush Gigboard and A LOT more than a new Pod Go. If I was going to gig with a multi-effect pedal, the 300 wouldn’t even crack my top five list.

I purchased one because I watch your video, and I'm very happy with this digital pedalboard, the Mooer GE300 sounds real good in my opinion.

It's cool but I don't experiment much anymore. I have one sound. No matter what I do I always end up back in the same place.
That's pretty much how it is for me to these days. That blues Jr lead tone is pretty much my go-to sound haha. :)
Your playing is great. More fun for me to focus on the playing.
Nice unit! Only GE200 on Amazon Canada for $400. Sounding good as usual Shane!

That was a great intro. Loved it. This looks like a really cool device.
The track sounds incredible!! Well done!
I’ve been playing around with the Mooer GE Labs on my iPad. Sounds really good. Similar to the physical unit you demoed here.

doubt it as this is a duel processor unit and Helix is one.. Mooer haven't even got started on this yet with adding new models effects etc...

Hi i just want to ask. Can you add ts9 or any booster pedal after the distortion on this effects?
looks pretty intuitive....nice
Thank You.
Thanks for the video. As soundwise, which do you prefer HX Stomp or Ge300?

where did you reproduce the pedal board?
Via USB cable or on FRFR speakers with microphones?
Is it possible to stream audio via bluetooth ? Thanks.

Hey, Shane. How does this compare with your Kemper Profiler?
How about through an amp or active
FRFR
Will this settings fit GE150?
Nice tones. Can it do the whole "Whammy Pedal" thing?
surely
Is there a tone bank?
I didn’t like the GE 300 glad you like it and nailed that track man wow.

They now dim when effect is off on the new update
Shane is NOT a metal guy.
Is the Steinberg UR22 still your main interface?
Yep. It's still going strong :)
Trying to decide: multi effects pedal like this vs decent tube amp
IMHO - Get the tube amp first. Spend the money on something that will hold value and consider it an investment. These type of effects units are already beginning to flood the market and there will be more to come. They'll come and go while a well made tube amp will always be there for you.

Helix LT is better.

You must of had a defective one.
Does this one have a built in drum machine?
No
The interface seems to be fairly intuitive selecting amps/cabs which is a good feature. Then again for $1200 I'd expect it to sound pretty good.

I love Mooer products, this review was great... but the unit sounds really thin to my ears overall. I know it's not your guitars!
Might be your speakers.
I find the cleans very twangy and nasty. A warm clean would be nice.
All the guitars had the same sound, find that kinda odd.
Uhhh..... Sounds horrible sry...
NO need to apologise! You hear what you hear!
His playing or the pedalboard? I think he plays very good, and the Mooer 300 gt sounds good.
Doesn't seem to be very responsive to your playing and sounds somehow flat. I don't like it - especially for the asked price.
If you tried it yourself you would feel differently.
Can you stack overdrives?
