Mooer F15i Li Modeling Guitar PB

With all the different amp models and effects available on the Mooer F15i, it's easy to dial in (and save) that perfect, personalised tone – or the exact sound of one of the guitar greats. Happily, the iAmp app also offers a wide range of presets that means users will quickly and reliably land on a serviceable setting. This powerful little modeller can also be used as a guitar audio interface, connected to a computer using the built‑in USB‑C port (the same one used for charging). For anyone wanting to run it into an existing audio interface or a PA, the two line outs mean that's no trouble at all – even stereo setups are possible. And to keep practice sessions quiet and private, there's a 3.5mm stereo headphone output. All in all, this compact amp has more to offer than might seem at first glance; behinds its simple layout lies an incredible array of practical features.

Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.
