NAMM 2025: Mooer has frequently enough been viewed as the underdog in the realm of digital amp modelers, but with the introduction of the GS1000, it’s poised to join the ranks of industry giants like IK Multimedia’s TONEX and Neural DSP’s Quad Cortex.
In recent years, Mooer has showcased its prowess in amp modeling and intelligent effects, rolling out a series of popular stompboxes that cover a wide spectrum of digital electric guitar sounds.
Through thes efforts, Mooer, along with brands like HeadRush and Donner, has carved out a niche in the budget multi-effects market.However, the GS1000 could redefine its position as a serious contender for a broader audience of amp modeler enthusiasts.
What sets the GS1000 apart? unlike previous Mooer models that primarily offered a variety of digital amp,cabinet,and effects simulations,the GS1000 enhances its capabilities significantly with the introduction of MNRS 2.0 technology.
This innovative tech aims to rival Neural DSP’s Capturing, Kemper Profiling, and IK Multimedia’s TONEX Capturing by empowering musicians to “emulate their favorite gear with remarkable accuracy.”
Essentially, this sampling technology allows users to replicate distortion pedals, preamps, amp heads, and cabinets, potentially democratizing high-end gear capturing that was once exclusive to premium pedals.

The capability to capture personal gear is increasingly appealing for amp modelers. Neural DSP highlighted this feature with its Nano Cortex, catering to musicians transitioning from conventional pedalboards who want to maintain their signature sound in a more portable format. The GS1000 excels in this regard.
Moreover,through Mooer’s cloud App,users can explore gear profiles created by fellow musicians,allowing them to “capture the essence of their favorite gear without needing to own the actual hardware.”
If you’re curious to see Mooer’s profiling technology in action, there’s currently a single non-English video available on YouTube that showcases the entire process. While it may not be in English, it effectively conveys the straightforward nature of the process and highlights the impressive sound quality.
MNRS 2.0 is just one of the many features that make the GS1000 an exciting addition to the market. Othre enhancements include an AI-driven EQ Master for intelligent tone adjustments tailored to various musical styles, an integrated Groove Station with a built-in drum machine featuring 54 drum kits, a 480-second looper with infinite overdubs, and a built-in tuner.
All these features can be easily accessed via the five-inch high-resolution touchscreen display, which is a notable advantage, as user-friendliness is crucial in the world of modelers.
