Mooer GE200 presets and settings

⚡ Match a tone on this gearHow do you dial in a specific tone on a Mooer GE200?
A multi-effects unit gives you the whole chain in one box, which means the order of the blocks is as much of the answer as the values inside them. Settings for the Mooer GE200 name the amp model, the block order and the parameters together, rather than handing you numbers with no chain to put them in.
Name the song you are chasing in the tone matcher and Tonelify returns the settings for this exact multi-effects unit, not the settings the original artist used. Those are two different things: the recording was made on gear most players do not own.

Starting settings on the Mooer GE200
Values as the unit's screen shows them, on its own scale; each drawn knob shows that value's share of the range. They are where to begin, not Mooer's numbers: pick the amp model first, then move one control at a time from here.
Clean
Jazz 120, model 32 in the AMP block, which Mooer bases on the Roland JC-120. Gain 25, Bass 50, Mid 50, Treble 60, Pres 45. The AMP block's controls are Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, Pres and Mst, and Mst is the block's output level, so use it to level this preset against your others. 65 US TW, based on the Fender 65 Twin Reverb, is the other big clean, and US Blues CL is the clean channel of a Fender Blues Deluxe.
- Gain 25
- Bass 50
- Mid 50
- Treble 60
- Pres 45
Edge of breakup and blues
UK30 OD, Mooer's model of the Vox AC30 overdriven. Gain 45, Bass 45, Mid 60, Treble 55, Pres 50. Regal Tone OD1, the Tweed channel of a Tone King Falcon, and 65 US DX, the Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb, are the next ones to try. For a pedal in front, Jimmy OD in DS/OD is based on the Paul Cochrane Timmy and Gold Clon on the Klon Centaur.
- Gain 45
- Bass 45
- Mid 60
- Treble 55
- Pres 50
Classic rock
J800, based on the Marshall JCM800. Gain 60, Bass 50, Mid 65, Treble 60, Pres 50. Keep the mids up: rock guitar sits in the midrange, and scooping it is the usual reason a preset sounds thin next to a band. PLX 100, the Marshall Plexi 100, HWT 103, the Hiwatt DR-103, and Citrus 50, the Orange OR 50, are the other classic rock amps on the list.
- Gain 60
- Bass 50
- Mid 65
- Treble 60
- Pres 50
Metal
EV 5050 DS, the distortion channel of the EVH 5150. Gain 70, Bass 55, Mid 45, Treble 60, Pres 50. Turn on the NS block, where Noise Gate is Mooer's digital gate and Intel Reducer its intelligent noise reduction. For tighter palm mutes, pick 808 in DS/OD (Mooer: based on the Ibanez TS808) with its own gain low, and take the amp's Gain down a step. TRI REC DS, the MESA/Boogie Triple Rectifier, PV 5050 DS, the Peavey 5150, and Powerbell DS, the ENGL E645, are the other high-gain choices.
- Gain 70
- Bass 55
- Mid 45
- Treble 60
- Pres 50
Add 808 in DS/OD before you raise the Gain.
Lead
MARKV DS, the distortion channel of a MESA/Boogie Mark V, or SLOW 100 DS, the Soldano SLO-100. Gain 65, Bass 50, Mid 65, Treble 55, Pres 50, with a Digital delay at a low Level. To reach it inside one preset, press the CTRL/TAP button and pick CTRL, then choose DS/OD and DELAY as its blocks: the CTRL/TAP footswitch then turns both on and off together. Hold the footswitch for a second to swap between CTRL, where it stays lit, and tap tempo, where it flashes.
- Gain 65
- Bass 50
- Mid 65
- Treble 55
- Pres 50
CTRL footswitch: DS/OD and DELAY together.

Mooer GE200 questions
What amps are in the Mooer GE200?
55 models: 52 amp channels and three acoustic guitar simulators. Mooer's manual bases them on the Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb, 65 Twin Reverb, 59 Bassman, Super Sonic and Blues Deluxe; the Marshall JCM800, JCM900 and Plexi 100; the ENGL E650, E645 and the Blackmore amp the manual calls EN650; the MESA/Boogie Mark III, Mark V and Triple Rectifier; the Orange Rockerverb, AD 30 and OR 50; the Soldano SLO-100; the Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr and Z-Wreck; the Jet City JCA100H; the Roland JC-120; the Vox AC30; the Hiwatt DR-103; the Peavey 5150 and EVH 5150; the Tone King Falcon; the Two Rock Coral and Cardiff; the Blackstar HT Stage 100; the Diezel Hagen and the Koch Powertone. Many come as a clean and a driven channel. The full table is below.
How many effects does the Mooer GE200 have?
The manual's model tables list 151 models in nine blocks: 55 amps, 26 cabinets and 70 effects, which are 8 in FX/COMP, 20 in DS/OD, 3 in NS, 4 in EQ, 19 in MOD, 9 in DELAY and 7 in REVERB. Mooer's 2017 launch announcement said 70 effects, the number the tables give besides the amps and cabinets. The manual's feature list and specifications say 152, and firmware V2.0.0 added a Mono Pitch Shift that the tables do not show. The CHAIN screen puts the nine blocks in any order.
How are the GE200's 200 presets laid out?
Mooer's quick guide splits the factory presets into packs by what the GE200 plugs into. P001 to P050 have AMP and CAB on, for headphones, a sound card, a mixer or full-range speakers. P051 to P100 have AMP on, for a guitar amp's effects return or a power amp. P101 to P150 have AMP and CAB off, for the input of a guitar amp. P151 to P200 are empty. To save, press SAVE, turn VALUE to the slot, press VALUE to name it and press SAVE again; PLAY or CHAIN leaves without saving.
How do you use the GE200 with a guitar amp?
Into the front of an amp, start from P101 to P150, where AMP and CAB are off. Into the amp's effects return or a power amp, start from P051 to P100, where the AMP block does the preamp's work. SYSTEM > CAB SIM THRU then sets the cabinet simulation for each output, ON or THRU: Mooer's example sends the left output to the amp on stage with the cab off and the right output to the PA with it on. The Chinese section of Mooer's quick guide adds that when the two outputs are set differently, the CAB block moves to the end of the chain.
What do the GE200's footswitches do?
There are three. Down and up change the preset, and in footswitch mode 1 holding one scrolls; in mode 2 they pick a preset and CTRL/TAP confirms it. CTRL/TAP taps the tempo or, in CTRL mode, turns the blocks you assign on and off. Down and up together open the tuner, and up with CTRL/TAP opens the looper. The built-in expression pedal has a toe switch, which the EXP CALIBRATE screen sets up.
How long is the looper on the GE200?
52 seconds. Press up and CTRL/TAP together to open it. CTRL/TAP records, plays and overdubs with single presses, stops with a double press and clears the loop when held; down turns reverse on and off and up half speed. Firmware V2.0 added SYSTEM > LOOPER MODE: PRE puts the looper before the effects, so it records your dry guitar and you can change the effects while it plays, and POST puts it after them, like an ordinary looper.
What can the GE200's expression pedal control?
Any parameter in any of the nine blocks, for the built-in pedal (EXP) and a second one in the EXP 2 jack, which takes a TRS stereo cable. EXP VOL PEDAL, saved with each preset, makes the built-in pedal a volume pedal whenever its assigned effect is off. MERGE moves several parameters at once between the values you set heel down and toe down; Mooer's example raises delay Level from 15 to 60 while Feedback falls from 50 to 10 and Time rises from 300 to 1200 ms.
Can you load IRs and new amp models into the GE200?
Yes, with Mooer's editor software on a computer. The manual gives the IR format as WAV at 44.1 kHz and 24 bits, 512 samples long. Firmware V1.2.3 added loading amp files, and Mooer's download page has two packs: pack 1 holds Cali Dual 1 and 2, Cali LS CH1 and CH2, Matchbox 30 cl and od and US Gold 50A 1 and 2, and pack 2 holds Siva A and B and Taxidea Taxus A and B. Mooer does not say what these are based on. V2.0.3 added Mooer's newer .gnr amp and .gir cabinet files beside the older .amp and .wav ones.
What firmware is the Mooer GE200 on?
Mooer's download page lists three updates. V1.2.3 lets you add amp models. V2.0.0 improved the delay and reverb sound and added Trail On for them, the Mono Pitch Shift, a one-click backup of all presets, the PRE and POST looper and a tuner range of 430 to 450 Hz. V2.0.3, which the notes also call V2.0.3 Beta, added the .gnr and .gir files. Mooer warns that updating to it deletes all presets and third-party IRs, so back them up with the V2.0.0 software first, and that the new cabinet files are five times larger, so the unit boots a little slower with many of them loaded.
How do you update the GE200's firmware?
Mooer's steps: unplug the power, hold down the far left footswitch while you plug it back in, and let go once the LED flashes slowly to show update mode. Connect USB, open the GE200 software, click Start and do not unplug the unit until it finishes; click Done, and it restarts. Back up your presets and IRs first, since V2.0.3 erases them.
Can the GE200 record to a computer?
Yes. Over USB it is a sound card, set in SYSTEM > USB AUDIO: REC VOL sets the level sent to the computer, PLAY VOL the level of what comes back, and each of the left and right outputs to the computer can be DRY, your guitar with no processing, or EFFECT, the processed sound. The manual names a Windows PC, and Mooer's download page also has the editor for macOS 10.10 to 10.15 and an ASIO driver.
What inputs and outputs does the GE200 have?
A 1/4 inch guitar input, left and right 1/4 inch outputs (use L alone for mono), a 1/8 inch stereo AUX IN for playing along with a phone, a 1/8 inch stereo headphone output, an EXP 2 jack for a second expression pedal, and USB. Power is a 9V DC supply at 600 mA, centre negative, and the manual lists no battery. The unit measures 297 by 145.5 by 45.5 mm and weighs 1.4 kg.
Does the GE200 have a drum machine?
Yes: the RHYTHM button gives 40 drum patterns and 10 metronome rhythms. The VALUE knob picks the pattern, speed and volume, and the CTRL/TAP footswitch can tap the tempo.
When did the Mooer GE200 come out, and is the GE200 Pro the same?
Mooer announced the GE200 on 16 October 2017, at a street price of around $299. Mooer's download centre lists the GE200 Plus and GE200 Pro as separate units, each with its own editor software. This page covers the original GE200.
What are the best Mooer GE200 settings for metal?
Start with EV 5050 DS or TRI REC DS, Gain 70, Bass 55, Mid 45, Treble 60 and Pres 50, with Noise Gate in the NS block and 808 in DS/OD. These are starting points rather than Mooer's numbers. If it fizzes, lower Gain first and Treble second.
How do you build a patch on the Mooer GE200?
Pick the amp model first, then set its controls, then add the blocks in signal-chain order: drive before the amp, time and modulation after it. A patch built the other way around ends up compensating for the wrong stage. Tonelify returns the model, the order and the parameters together.
Does Tonelify support the Mooer GE200?
Yes. Name it in the tone matcher along with the song you are chasing and the settings come back adapted to it. Gear does not need to be in the catalog for a match to run.
