Mooer PE 100 Portable Guitar Effects

the little mooer pe100 is okay speaking of the low price. expecting more from a compact cheap guitar amp than this would be ridiculous.

the connectors (ins and outs) are selectable between 3,5 and 6,35 " jacks. the outputrouting is mono. no problem with that. to speak of the knobs and touch buttons they got enough grip for the price, no problem too.

but here s something that makes my using a bit uncomfortable. the distortion amps and overdrives are too loud in relation to the other sounds (youknow reverbs, phasers, chorus ones and stuff). sure an amp model has a "harder, more intensive character" but in this case here its not the saturation of the effect but the output volume which totally differs so that I easily got a peak over by using those amps and distortions while the rest of the effects has an output level that almost aint there to notice by ears.

sure I can regulate that from program to program but its like I said a bit uncomfortable. whats also tricky is to find the a well working overall peak level cauz I use this box in a selfmade analog modulation effect chain for recording.

so if my signal is peaked over its wrecked youknow.

so anyways for the cheap price the overall performance of the little guitar effects box is okay.

Well made, many features, seven amps and all the usual effects and increddible affordable, but for this moment in time in amp moddeling not better, maybe even worse than the korg Pandora I had some 20 years ago, the Pandora stomp, I had a couple of years ago and absolutely worse than my line6 pod 2.0, I Just sold. I expected better, so I will send it back to Thomann. By far the best feature is the easy way to change presets or to design your own. The effects are allright to very good, but the amps are the real letdown. They feel stiff and sound unrealistic. If you are in the market for a cheap table top moddeler buy the line 6 mini pod or if you can do without the effects buy the palmer MkII. I also contemplated to change my phone into a moddeling amp, but every youtube video I watched sounded worse than the vids on the mooer pe100. So that was also not the road to take. If you have more money to spend you might want to have something you also can perform with and than you will have to spend 300,- or more for Zoom, Boss or Line 6. The mooer is Just not a good buy.
