Throughout MOOER’s track record of producing electric guitar pedals, the company has put a lot of its innovative prowess into its range of loop pedals, including 2023’s VP3 Loopation. Ever since, MOOER’s engineers have been hard at work designing the GL100, a feature-packed dual-footswitch stereo phrase looper and drum machine that has far more on offer than its younger looper siblings.
Perhaps the most impressive upgrade that MOOER has integrated into the GL100 is the sheer amount of looping time that this pedal can provide. In total, the pedal supports 300 minutes of looping time, all of which can be manually or automatically saved into 100 different storage slots.
The two footswitches are the primary means for controlling this feature, used through short presses and holds to trigger phrase recording, playback, overdubs, cancellations, and, most impressively, undo and redos. Most importantly, the pedal’s position-jumping function gives users the flexibility to switch between storage slots with the footswitches while performing, providing them with the potential to perform fully structured loop-based music.
Notably, MOOER has also made a serious effort to ensure that it is easy to record the perfect loop with the GL100. For example, the count-in function is very easy to use, as is the auto-record feature, which allows users to capture perfect loops by triggering it based on signal detection, preventing the need for perfectly timed footswitch presses. Better still, this signal detection feature can be toggled on or off with a single button press, and the signal threshold is easily adjustable, helping to support instruments of varying signal ranges.
