Mooer GTRS Guitar Profess. 801 MG

What the GTRS Guitar Profess. 801 MG is designed to do

The Mooer GTRS Guitar Profess. 801 MG combines a conventional electric guitar layout with an onboard digital processing system. Its ST-style body uses American alder, and its pickup arrangement consists of two hum-free single-coil pickups and an Alnico V humbucker at the bridge. A five-way switch, volume and tone controls, and a dedicated Super Knob provide familiar hands-on controls, while the built-in system adds selectable presets, guitar simulations, and effects.

This is a feature-rich design on paper, but the specifications alone cannot establish how the guitar feels, how convincing its modeled sounds are, or how well the electronics perform in practice. No customer feedback or independent listening results are available here. The assessment below therefore focuses on the stated hardware and functions, rather than presenting subjective performance claims.

Construction and playing specifications

The body is American alder with a Mint Green finish and an aged white pickguard. The bolt-on neck and fingerboard are both roasted flamed maple. The neck has a Standard C profile, a 12-inch fingerboard radius, and 22 medium stainless steel frets. The listed scale length is 647.7 mm, or 25.5 inches, and the nut measures 42 mm wide. These dimensions give a clear technical picture of the layout, although they do not substitute for trying the neck in person.

The bridge is a Wilkinson VS 50 II tremolo, and the guitar has locking 18:1 tuners. GTRS strap pins and chrome hardware complete the listed fittings. The supplied factory strings are.009 to.046. There is no separate top, and a gig bag is included, along with a tremolo arm, an Allen key, and a USB-C cable. A hard case is not included.

Pickups and onboard controls

The HSS pickup system uses a GTRS SCN-1N hum-free pickup in the neck position, a GTRS SCN-1M hum-free pickup in the middle, and a GTRS HM-1B Alnico V humbucker at the bridge. The five-way switch selects pickup configurations, while the conventional volume and tone controls handle the guitar's basic signal. The Super Knob is assigned to main output and preset control, joining familiar instrument controls with access to the digital section.

The specifications identify the pickup types and switching arrangement, but do not detail the exact voicing of each position or how the analog and modeled signals interact. Players who want to judge clean tones, distortion response, or noise levels should audition the instrument rather than infer those qualities from pickup descriptions alone.

Modeling, effects, and connections

The GTRS Intelligent Process System provides 11 guitar simulations and 126 guitar effects. Four presets can be selected and edited through the Super Knob. Mooer's free GTRS app serves as editor software and also provides a drum machine, metronome, tuner, and an 80-second looper. The tuner can also be accessed through the GWF4 wireless footswitch, which is not included.

For recording, the USB-C output supports USB OTG connections to a smartphone or tablet, allowing direct recording according to the product specifications. USB-C also charges the internal battery. Bluetooth 5.0 is listed, and wireless control is available with the GWF4 footswitch. The product information does not specify the complete wireless setup or list every compatible device, so those details are worth confirming before purchase if they are central to a recording workflow.

The 6.3 mm jack can also be used with headphones for silent practice. That gives the guitar a practice option without requiring a separate amplifier, though the available data does not describe headphone output levels or monitoring features.

Power and practical considerations

The internal GLB-P1 lithium-ion battery is rated for up to 10 hours of use per charge and 15 hours of standby time. Actual operating time can depend on use, but no conditions for the quoted rating are provided. Players should also account for charging and battery management as part of using the onboard processing features. The guitar remains a conventional electric instrument in its basic configuration, but its digital functions rely on this additional system.

Technical verdict

The Mooer GTRS Guitar Profess. 801 MG is aimed at players who want an HSS electric guitar with built-in modeling, effects, preset access, app editing, and direct mobile recording. Its roasted maple neck and fingerboard, stainless steel frets, locking tuners, tremolo bridge, and included gig bag make the physical specification substantial. The digital feature set is broad, while the price is listed as 537, with no currency supplied.

The main buying question is whether those integrated functions suit the player's needs. The specifications support a flexible practice and recording setup, but they do not verify sound quality, reliability, ease of editing, or real-world battery life. With no customer reviews available, those points remain open. Consider the GTRS if its combined guitar and processing approach fits your setup, and verify compatibility and feel before committing.
