You just gained another subscriber. High-level, no-nonsense technical comparisons placing sounds of real equipment side by side with simulators. And again I see Mooer leading the way. This channel is definitely the best comparative channel I've seen so far.
I had my GE200 3 years ago, it worked great for my purpose but one footswitch went out of order. Luckily it was still under factory warranty so I sent it back for a replacement but was told had to wait for a few months to receive a replacement due to stock shortage. While waiting, I went to a Headrush Gigboard (believe it is very similar to the MX5 in many ways). I spent lots of time with it - tweaking and experimenting with many different IRs but eventually I gave up as the sound was just to "tight" for my ears (sorry I don't have the best wording for what I felt). So I put my Gigboard aside and got a Helix Floor, which was much better. A few months later, the new GE200 arrived but because I was enjoying my Helix so I kept GE200 in storage for 2 years. Don't remember what happened, one day, I took the GE200 out and hook it up, and, for the past few weeks, I haven't touched my Helix. There must be something done right with Mooer multi effects pedals.
Hi, thank you for sharing, very interesting experience here...I found the Mooer have a tendency to sound a little bit more bassy and maybe it suit better your taste. Thank you once more!
ecco sto video me casca a fagiolo ! ero combattuto proprio di queste due , per il mio prossimo acquisto ! sempre bei video Leo come.al solito , super tecnici e dettagliati , lasciando a 0 l errore umano dell' esecuzione . complimenti davvero ti reputo il miglio recensore . continua così Michele
@@riccardobenzoni4251 ancora nulla . Aspetto la ampero stomp . Attualmente uso la zoom g5n e Non trovo differenze mostruose , soprattutto per un uso casalingo e home recording
Right?! I remember back when I was in high school the boss me-50 was the best you could do but, these are volumes ahead of that and the price feels similar to what the “lower end” multi-fx used to cost. This generation of guitar players are lucky!
I think the Mooer takes this battle to my ears. In the mix, they were hard to tell apart on the high gain settings. The Mooer seemed more gainy like you said. Great demo song! Love your riffs 😁 God bless and rock on 😎👍🎸
Thank you for another wonderful comparison Leo! The More Sounds section really made me think it is amazing what can be done these days and how close things sound. I am fascinated by the capture/load facility on the GE 250 and of course the computer app. Perhaps one day they will perfect the hardware (have both midi in and out & stereo send/return) and THAT would be a killer product IMHO! Thanks again.
You are welcome, I'm happy you like it! Yes, the profiling procedure is really cool! You can even look at the GE 300, which has more in / out possibilities. Thank you!!!
Your comparisson chart is bigger and more detailed every time and I give you tumbs up for that. :D Can you add also easy of use in that chart? I had at home to test ampero and ge250 and ampero did had touch screen, but everything you want to dial you had to push at least 3-4 times to get there. On other hand on all the GE series evrything is only one tuch away and easy to see. On the stage is that very important for me. I must say again and again that your videos are the best. Keep on.
Thank you, I'm super happy that you like the videos!! I typically add the easiness topic in my "2 cents section" of the video, as it is typically an opinion, for instance the MX5 has the touch screen, but not the computer app, and the GE 250 has the computer app, but not the touch screeen, but for me the GE 250 is easier, compared ... because I use very frequently the computer app. Thank you for your message and suggestion!
@@LeoGibsonGtr I've seen that in 2 cents. I like that section - 2 cents. I'm still waiting for Mooers GTRS guitar and your review. You should write to them and they should send it to you. Hope that they will soon.
Thanks for this awesome comparison as usual Leo! Your channel is really amazing for comparing gear and understanding all the pros and cons of each unit… and you also give us some tasty music y to go along with it… congratulations on your channel, and hope you get many many more subscribers, you deserve them!
I had both with also the ge300 lite.. i sold the two mooer, for me the HeadRush is on another level in terms of realism of amp Modeling (Also compared to mooer studio profiles or capture) and feeling. The mod effects are far better than the mooer. My 2 cents 🤘🏻 A nice mention to the very good looper that allows to export and save loops and import mp3 files to play with... Farewell Mooer
Well Leo, you have done again my friend! Bravo, great presentation! Loved it. Have you considered my suggestion on doing a comparison between the Hotone Ampero vs the MX5? I would certainly like to see that, with the both touch screens and all. I know the ampero is older unit. Thank you for posting this.
Hi, you are welcome! Sure....I've already done it, you can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KngjDT4kSRU.html Thank you!
Ciao Leo, from Texas! Thank you for the helpful review. I decided to go for the Mooer, because the parallel effects chain won’t matter in my case. It will just be an alternative to my main rig that I can switch in and out. But it will be a nice upgrade from the old Digitech unit I have been using in that position. Also, as for personal preferences, I like the white color. That puts me in a good mood when I play. So much audio equipment is black-there were reasons for that on stage perhaps in the past, but it is way overused and is actually the complete absence of light and color. My thoughts. Ciao!
Ciao Mark, you are welcome, and I'm happy to have been of some help!!! Thank you also for sharing your opinion and your experience! And yes...the white colour is nice...black is sometime a little boring... Thank you!
I think Headrush lacks aggressiveness than Mooer. By looking at your playing sir, it seems that you are more comfortable on Mooer, the easiness is there. I don't know, i think that's my opinion and observation.😊.., anyways, as always i love your honest review on your videos, i always watch and amazed by your playing. God bless Sir.
Hi John, I enjoyed both...I have the Mooer since a long time, so I'm more used to it. Thank you so much, your feedback and support is really important for me!!!
@leogibson, I love watching you, but i realllllly need a video about how you actually MAKE your videos, not just how you split screen yourself with yourself, but how you seamlessly switch devices while playing the piece without moving your body in any noticeable way in the video through what must take like six takes to get three devices and two musical parts of yourself at the same time. I get so distracted by trying to figure out how you do that I forget to learn the lessons and recommendations that you are actually teaching! LOL
Hi, thank you, I'm really happy that you like my videos! Maybe I will do the video you are asking for in the future....even if I don't know if there is such a bit interest in it, nevertheless, I can tell you that the secret is the reamping. I mean, I typically record a DI guitar track and then I reamp into the different devices, this allows me also to avoid differences, as it is always the same guitar part that is going to be played through the different modelers. Thank you for your message!
I have enjoyed watching your review for so many multieffect but may I know what is your best multieffect processor that you prefer for a long purpose of use ?
Hi, actually I have change my mind many times and every unit has is pros and cons...nevertheless, I'm enjoying the high end modelers, I mean the FM3 and the Quad Cortex. Thank you so much for following the channel...and I'm really happy that you enjoy the videos!!!
Hi Leo, thank you so much for your content! your videos are great! I have a hx stomp, and i think its great but sometimes i wish it had some more crazy presets, im not so worried about things sounding exactly like the real equipment, but I want different sounds to be inspired and approach guitar from a different perspective than classic. Im looking at the boss gt100 core and now this mx5 also looks interesting. Im really into atmospheric delays. Would you have a recommendation for me? Thank you so much!
Hi, thank you for sharing....the support is a pretty important factor...I've no idea if HeadRush is better than Mooer...if some has some experience, please drop a message....
@@jazzcat1056 but I guess that said I have never personally worked with headrush on an issue. I would like to assume most people don’t ever need to call them but, regardless they sound good which is much more important.
Un'altra comparativa con i fiocchi... nel mix, come dici tu, la vedo dura distinguerli... quindi è solo questione di gusti e di abitudini 'di lavoro': certo che mancare di una app per PC oggi come oggi la vedo come una grossa mancanza.
Grazie, mi fa piacere che ti piaccia il video!!! In effetti anche per me l'app è importante...comunque non credo la faranno mai, se non l'hanno fatta per Gigboard e Pedalboard...un peccato... Grazie del messaggio!
I have bought a headrush mx5 and brought it to Brazil... 2 mouths of use it stopped working and they didn't pay me back... desapoited with Headhush.... I should buy a Hotone
MX5 records up to 96k .It has no drum machine, but is better than any floor modeller, as it can load loops and backing tracks ,drum loops up tp 3 gig worth and you can strech and loop over them. Try to research the product before you review the product .Again no modeller has this ability .
@Jane Thorson don't know I only have the mx5 . I copy'd pasted the intire drum loop package from my zoom 24 loop mem stick (fatory supplied) via computer .Easy. shoul d be able to use computer to transfer bigger headrush to mx5. also had room to put a ton of mp3 songs and backing tracks on the mx5 and still had a hour of looping left, too use.
@@Monkcustom I agree 48khz is enough , but he miss represented the mx5 's abilities , and he didn't even touch on the mx5's looping and loop loading of drum loops and backing tracks from your computer.
I think he said the review is according to his use cases, maybe he just don't use loops, so, what's the most important thing for you may not be important at all to other people. Some people just don't care about loops and backing tracks.
@@gabrielavanzi9652 True ,some people don't care ,and his opinions are his own ,but the fact's are fact's. And he does not seem to offer corrections...interesting no?
