Mooer has expanded its range of electric guitars with on-board DSP technology through the addition of a novel model that is particularly aimed at guitarists of a heavier musical persuasion: The Mooer GTRS Guitars Wing 900 Intelligent AGR in sparkly Aurora Green. Its headless design and duo of humbucking pickups make this intelligent guitar eminently suitable for modern playing styles and a versatile Metal sound. This is perfectly complemented by the integrated Mooer GTRS Intelligent Processor System, which offers tremendous room for creativity thanks to numerous sound shaping tools and useful features that include a drum machine, a looper, and many more. The built-in transmitter and a corresponding receiver, which is additionally included in the scope of delivery, also allow the guitar's sound to be wirelessly transmitted to an amplifier.
The Mooer GTRS Guitars Wing 900 Intelligent AGR combines the advantages of analogue and digital components and their entirely different tonal ranges in an American alder body with a striking Aurora Pink finish and a generously contoured top and back for maximum playing comfort. The classic electric guitar sound is ensured by two custom GTRS HM-2 humbuckers, which can be selected via a three-way selector and further adjusted using the volume and tone control knobs, while the third control element on the pickguard – the "Super Knob" – allows the user to switch between different presets to flexibly adjust the tone to the specific requirements of an extremely wide range of applications. Its headless roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo fanned frets and a 25.2" to 25.5" multiscale make the Wing 900 Intelligent AGR particularly comfortable to play without being neck-heavy.
In contrast to Mooer's first generation of Intelligent Guitars with a low-key ST-style design that primarily catered for the Blues and Rock genres, the new Wing 900 Intelligent AGR has been specially designed and equipped with the needs of Metal and Progressive guitarists in mind. This model boasts a revised GTRS system with all the required features that allow users to create the genre-typical sound without the need for integrating external effects. All of the parameters can be conveniently controlled and permanently stored in the system using the designated Mooer GTRS App. The internal lithium-ion battery provides an operating time of up to twelve hours for worry-free extended live gigs and can be easily recharged via the integrated USB-C interface, which also allows direct recording on a computer.
Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.
Whether users want to enjoy an opulent sound (through their headphones) while practising or jamming on the couch at home or create a perfectly matched sound for on-point use in recordings or live gigs – the Mooer GTRS Guitars Wing 900 Intelligent AGR with two high-performance humbuckers reliably delivers a powerful sound for Hardrock and Metal, and allows it to be further processed using the intelligent digital sound processing system, which provides access to numerous tone shaping options as well as various useful tools without the need for integrating external effects. And it is also incredibly easy to use thanks to the Mooer GTRS App, which is available for both iOS and Android devices. Users will be thrilled to hear that the scope of delivery of the Wing 900 Intelligent AGR also includes a gig bag that has been specially designed for headless guitars.
GTRS Intelligent Processor System
Thanks to its 126 effects, eleven guitar simulations, and numerous tools, the Mooer GTRS Intelligent Processor System opens up a whole world of tone modelling options for an extremely wide range of applications. All of the settings can be easily accessed and controlled via a smartphone or tablet PC using the GTRS App. The Mooer GTRS Wing 900 offers eleven guitar simulations, 126 effects, a drum computer, a looper, and numerous clever gimmicks alongside four presets and further useful functions, which can be directly activated via the special GTRS control knob on the GTRS Wing 900's top. The optional Mooer GWF4 pedal with four footswitches and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity offers optimum control of all of the GTRS system's functions to make life easier for the guitarist, particularly during live performances. The USB-OTG port, which is located next to the jack socket on the guitar's bottom edge, enables direct recording on a mobile device.
