But there are ways around that limitation, as we
will explore in a moment.

Effects Loops and XLR Out

One way to get around the perceived limitation
of having 6 onboard stomp box locations is to
insert your own physical stomp box collection
anywhere within the Mooer GE300 signal chain.
This can be accomplished by connecting your
physical stomp boxes to the effects send/return
Figure 6 - Effects Send/Return, XLR and Output Icons in jacks (23) on the backside of the GE300 unit. See
the Mooer Studio GUI. Figure 6.
Then, one of the least documented and under-
appreciated features of the GE300 can be used: the
ability to insert an external effects loop any where
within the GE300 signal chain. This is done by
moving the rather small Effects Send/Return icons
anywhere in between the effect positions in the
GUI. See Figure 7 for examples of what the circled
icons look like.

positions. (I moved the Tone Capture option to the
last position since it is rarely used - more on how to
move positions later.)
With the GE300, two of the remaining 12
positions are used by an Amp simulation and a
Cab simulation. That leaves 10 positions
remaining. Another two are used by a dedicated
wah pedal and a dedicated volume pedal. And yet

You could set up a base amp and cab and have a

Another powerful feature of the GE300 is the
ability to assign several effects to one foot switch.
You can assign amps and cabs to a single foot

example. Up to 7 Amp/Cab/FXs can be assigned
to a single foot switch, in any combination and
