Mooer GTRS Guitar Profess. 801 TB

Mooer GTRS Guitar Profess. 801 TB review

The Mooer GTRS Guitar Profess. 801 TB combines a traditional electric guitar layout with built-in digital sound processing. Its ST-style body uses American alder, with a roasted, flamed maple neck and matching fingerboard. The listed price is $532, and the model has been available since November 2023. No customer reviews were provided, so this assessment is limited to the stated specifications and features.

The physical configuration will be familiar to players who use a three-pickup guitar with a five-way selector. Mooer specifies two hum-free single-coil pickups, one at the neck and one in the middle, plus an Alnico V humbucker at the bridge. Separate volume and tone controls cover the conventional pickup signal, while the Super Knob handles the main output and preset control. The supplied information does not detail the precise wiring or how the controls interact with individual modeled sounds.

Neck, hardware, and playing setup

The bolt-on neck has a Standard C profile, a 12-inch fingerboard radius, and a 42 mm nut width. Its scale is listed as 647.7 mm, or 25.5 inches. The maple fingerboard carries 22 medium stainless steel frets. Stainless steel is the specified fret material; fret size and setup measurements beyond the listed medium designation are not provided.

A Wilkinson VS 50 II tremolo bridge is paired with locking tuning machines rated at 18:1. The guitar also has chrome hardware, a black pickguard, and.009,.046 strings. Its finish is Tiffany Blue. These details define the hardware and setup, but the specifications alone cannot establish tuning stability, fretwork quality, or how the tremolo feels under a player's hand.

Modeling and onboard controls

The GTRS Intelligent Process System adds digital features to the instrument. Mooer lists 11 guitar simulations and 126 guitar effects, along with four selectable, editable presets controlled through the Super Knob. The free GTRS app serves as the editor for the guitar and also provides access to a drum machine, metronome, tuner, and an 80-second looper.

Those functions make the guitar a self-contained practice and sound-design platform on paper. The listed features do not specify the exact simulation models, effect parameters, signal routing, or whether every app function is available without a connected mobile device. The tuner can be used through the app or with the GWF4 Wireless Footswitch, which is not included. Wireless control is supported through that footswitch, rather than being listed as an included accessory.

Connections, battery, and recording

A 6.3 mm jack provides the standard output and can also be used with headphones for silent practice. The USB-C connection supports USB OTG recording to a smartphone or tablet, as well as battery charging. Bluetooth 5.0 is included. The specifications do not describe the compatible devices, recording format, or whether Bluetooth is intended for audio playback, control, or another purpose, so those details should be confirmed before purchase if they matter to a particular setup.

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 runtime can depend on operating conditions, but no further battery test data is available here. The guitar is listed without a modeling feature? No: modeling is explicitly specified. It also has no MIDI pickup and no piezo system, which distinguishes its stated sound-generation approach from guitars that use those systems.

What comes in the package

The package includes a GTRS gig bag, tremolo arm, Allen key, and USB-C cable. A hard case is not included. At the listed $532 price, buyers should weigh the combined guitar and digital feature set against their need for conventional amp use, app-based editing, or direct mobile recording. The product's specifications describe broad functionality, but they do not establish sound quality or reliability.

Bottom line: The Mooer GTRS Guitar Profess. 801 TB offers an HSS-style electric guitar configuration alongside onboard modeling, four editable presets, app tools, USB-C recording, and a rechargeable battery. Its published details are substantial enough to map out the feature set, but hands-on evaluation would be needed to judge playability, modeled tones, and real-world battery life.
