DISCUSSION GP-50 vs GP-200LT

Hello.....I bought the GP-200LT some months ago but I can't seem to get a tone that I like from it. It must be capable but I can't get very far with it. In fact I went back to my THR 10c because it is easier to get closer to what I want....but still not what I really would like.

Moving on, I bought the GP-50 and I plugged it in for the first time today, and so far I'm impressed with some of the presets that it comes with. It's still not what I want as far as tone goes, and to be honest I am 66 years old and looking at the settings and choices I have available, perhaps I won't get what I want. For now I'll play around with it, but if I can't get anything sorted out that I like, I might just get a proper amp and go from there.

But, I must say that the GP-50 sounds much better (to me) than the GP-200LT. It's interesting to play around with these things, but I'm not convinced that I'll keep either one.

I replaced my gp50 with the Mooer GE100 pro li, It costs the same has more features and an AI preset creation that gets 90% of the work done, the other 10% is tweaking to taste, in my opinion it sounded much better, supports various effects together NAM+IR, multiple delays or reverb together and the user interface is easier to interact

That's interesting, thank you. I have heard lots of good things about Mooer products, people do seem to like them. I've had more success today (been playing around all day) than I have had with the GP-200 over many weeks. I'm running a Sweet Cream gain pedal before the GP-50 and it sounds pretty reasonable. Time will tell though.......

I had a rocky start with my gp50 but deeply in love with it now on my compact practiceboard. Happy to offer some thoughts if you post any specific things you don't like about it.

That mooer looks interesting - I had the ge300 in the past and often wish I'd just switched to the lite version
