Mooer GTRS Guitars Modern 800 BLC

Mooer presents the GTRS Modern 800 BLC – a modern ST-style electric guitar featuring two humbucker pickups, 24 frets, a rosewood fingerboard, and a stylish reverse headstock. The only clue to the integrated active GTRS intelligent process system from Mooer is the super knob, which shimmers blue next to the volume and tone controls. In addition to tone modelling, which simulates up to 16 different guitar types, the system also offers 128 guitar effects, a tuner, looper, drum machine, and a direct recording facility via USB-C. The jack output also serves as a headphone jack for silent practice. Wireless operation via Bluetooth is enabled courtesy of the free GTRS app. Despite the inclusion of modern, digital features, Mooer continues to embrace traditional craftsmanship and the use of proven materials, as demonstrated by the excellent workmanship and bone nut.

The advantages of the Mooer GTRS Guitars Modern 800 BLC electric guitar are demonstrated in their entirety when the guitar is played live or in the rehearsal room. Armed merely with the guitar, a smartphone with the GTRS app, and a pair of headphones or cable for connecting to an amplifier or PA, the guitarist is practically ready to roll and need only select a single preset using the super knob or footswitch to simultaneously control the sound of the guitar and the type and sound of the amp as well as all settings and routing options for the effects pedals. Nothing could be simpler or clearer. And if the drummer is late for rehearsal (again!), there is always the option to jam along with the built-in drum machine for as long as necessary. The USB-C connection is beneficial for recording, as the guitar is recognised as a sound device by the respective DAW and can be recorded directly without any rerouting via a DI box and sound card. Interference from the vulnerable, high-impedance cable is also eliminated.
