MOOER PE100 Portable Depstop Guitar Multi Effects Headphone Amp Pedal Practice Tool with Drum Machine, TAP Tempo

It's a guitar preamp with effects and it has drum loops for inspired practicing or song writing. It can run from internal batteries or standard (Roland style) external 9-volt power. The amount of functions in this box is amazing. It is so light weight that my guitar cord wants to pull it off the table. The distortion sound is good, with variety and lots of choices. The drum rhythms surprised me, again, inspirational type drums to help with practice or inspiring a new song. I like the analog volume control in the side of the unit, no menu diving for the most important variable, output level. Too soon to judge durability but I take care of my stuff so I expect this to last. I used it with a Joyo 9-volt power supply 5 battery which I bought on Amazon, two hours of fun playing did not reduce the battery power gauge at all. So far I love this little self contained guitar amp and headphone amp package - currently playing it through a Headrush FRFR GO amp which also came from Amazon. Having a lot of fun, making some crunchy rock tones, kill'n it! Good Music To You!

So, right off the bat I'd like to just say that this is not a replacement for a Fractal Audio Axe FX III but, for the price, it's got a lot packed in that is very useful especially since it costs about the same as a single guitar pedal. I particularly like the various delays and modulation effects. The amp simulations are decent and certainly give you some flexibility in crafting a sound. I also enjoy the table-top format especially the 4 quick recall buttons. There are some disappointing effects, however, such as the slate of reverbs which, are fine when you're talking a short reverb for a guitar or similar but, the longer the decay, the more granular the reverbs become. AKA, no gloriously smooth cathedral reverbs for your shoe-gaze project. The other sort of bummer is that I wish the delay repeat time was longer. Otherwise, this is a high-value and fun unit that I feel is well worth the cost.

Ok this little monster has everything. Harmonizer , delay, chorus,distortion,phaser, reverb, different cabinets and EQ, and even drums . It sounds great. I use it for practice with headphones. Is just amazing. I haven't tried it with my rig. No need since I have Boss processing sound for it. But I wouldn't doubt; it has great sound also. I read the battery feature is no good which is not important to me since this comes with a/c adapter. I have tried others like this but the sound were horrible. This is by far the best on this price range. BTW you also can change the pitch of your guitar tunning with pitch shifter to match the song tunning you want to practice without having to retune your guitar. You can also connect your cellphone to play along via the auxiliary + headphones ( i would recommend using good headphones i 'm currently using skullcandy crusher To add more bass to the sound)

The PE100 is well worth the money. It's a solid built that comes with a Power Cord, not mentioned. It also runs off batteries as well. The PE100 comes loaded with 198 presets, 36 effects, Drum Machine, Metronome, Tap Tempo, Aux In and Headphone jack. So, it can be used as part of your pedalboard or as a standalone practice amp using nothing but headphones. The presets on the PE100 are similar to the Boss BR8 and subsequent recorder/mixers, modeling amps like The Line 6 Bogner digital amp, with pre-amp tubes, Fender Modeling amps, The Tascam DP32 and 64 series of Recorders and Mixers. Where in all cases, the presets have a name that identifies it with either a familiar song or artist name. And the effect will immediately bring either that recording artist or song to mind. This is a massive tool for any guitarist tool kit. Whether on the pedalboard or on the table. It's fun to use. I'm playing it through a Marshall Stack, tubed amp. And whether in clean or dirty mode, the effect still overrides the Clean/Dirty effect of the amp. Meaning that in Crunch mode, I don't lose the effect, I just gain one. Also using in conjunction with other pedals I play with, like the Steve Vail Dunlop Bad Horsie Wah Contour Pedal. Same thing. I have the BH after the PE100, and can still clearly get exactly what I want. I have a lot of gear. Guitars, Amps, Mixers and Pedals. And in many cases for myself there are redundancies. None the less, this pedal makes getting there a whole lot faster. If you want a really good pedal with some amazing sounds, that won't cost you a weeks pay. Then try this one out.

This mini headphone amp is the perfect solution for practicing guitar in limited space situations. It saves time since I don’t have to haul out a bunch of equipment to get great sound and a range of spatial effects and amp emulations. It’s more versatile than the plug in direct type, as it has signal out and an aux. in. I love many of the presets and the built in drum machine is a fantastic bonus. Much burlier than I was expecting, with aluminum chassis. Comes with power adapter and has the option to run on two AAA batteries. And it’s only 3”x5”. It’s a WIN WIN!!

Multi decade music pro, not a tone snob but am a gear snob, and know my sonic palettes. This is a cheap, tabletop multi-fx. I see it as a writing / jamming tool, maybe even a 'grab and go' for smaller gigs. I wouldn't imagine using it for other things; assuming those intended uses for this review. And it's great for those intended uses. Not a lot of sounds, but the ones it has are good to better-than-good, and it took less than 5 minutes to completely understand the menus. This was purchased to serve as an assist for a writing / sketchpad area. I needed it to be easy, provide decent coloration, and basically not annoy me with digital artifacts or mud (to wit, it's replacing a Zoom G3 which I didn't like, too digital or sometimes lacking in clarity, colored the sound of nice guitars too much; clunky interface). This is tiny (about 1.25 the size of a deck of cards), easy to operate, and most importantly doesn't get in the way of noodling/writing either physically or sonically. I haven't bothered with the distortions, but the trem, delays, verb were all good enough that I actually pictured someone bringing this to a small gig. (I wouldn't trust it past that, it does not look rugged). In fact, the only thing I don't like about it is that the recessed LCD screen requires you to look at it pretty straight on - checking out the screen from an angle was hard due to reflected light, and this was not a bright environment. Didn't bother with the drum patterns other than quick check to see they function - cannot imagine anyone is really buying this for those, so if you are I can't offer any insights. This is not going to make anyone forget their Helix, but it is incredibly portable and sonically useful, maybe even sonically encouraging. A great bargain. *** UPDATE Bloom wore off for me; this really decimates higher frequencies, and the occasionally squealing noises through the amp are a turnoff. Also, the unit really IS hard to see from the side, which turned out to be more of a pain than I thought. I'd still consider it a "scratchpad' tool for writing, but I wouldn't gig with it.

Effects are good, not great. Easy to understand. The right knob both turns, and pushes down. Stumped me at first. Like all these effects pedals, there are many heavy distortion sounds galore, but just a few subtle effects for blues and acoustic. The drum sounds are good quality but too busy. They would better suit a full band rather than a solo performance. I use the metronome more often to learn a song. There are user presets and user modified effect memories. I don't see user presets for drums. Drums cannot be edited. Drum volume is adjustable. Of course drum tempo is easy to select via menu or tapping.

I was somewhat sceptical of purchasing this, but I decided to take a chance on it and I am so thankful that I did. This tiny box continues to blow me away! Gets exactly the sound want. And it is just as silent, when I set my guitar down. Amazing doesn't seem to do it justice. I can't believe what it does for the meager price. And its size allows me to take it everywhere. I am currently just running it into a pair of Alesis reference monitors. Wow!
