Mooer F15i Li desktop amplifier

[Lysander]

This one has me really intrigued. Looks really good, and could even potentially end my search of a desktop FRFR... for under $200?!

I'll have to watch the clips later, but this thing looks killer. And cheap too.

It’s the P2 in an amp, nice.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Ok, the thing has a looper. Which is fantastic. But how FFS do you operate the looper when there's zero footswitch connectors? Just in combination with the drum machine? That'd be ultimately lame!

 

[Sascha Franck]

Oh, I see, it's compatible with their footswitch. But BT very likely isn't exact enough for setting proper loop I/O points.

 

[EOengineer]

What an interesting look. It’s like a toaster and the dash from a 60s automobile had a baby.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Hm, in Cordy's video the thing sounds pretty bad to me. Might be the camera mic, though.

I’d say for a camera in the room recording that sounds as good as any other throwaway portable practice amp. Nothing is going to sound great at that size. Even everyone’s beloved Yamaha micro amps sounded ass, but really good for a desktop amp.

 

[jellodog]

I thought it sounded pretty good, considering what it is.

It certainly exceeded my expectations anyway.

 

[Lysander]

For a practice amp, and from Mooer of all people, it sounds pretty amazing on every demo I've seen so far.



I need to find out if it has a flat setting but, for the price, this might very well be it for me.

@Lysander Looks like they found another use for 1000s of cheap smart watch screens manufactured in the factory next door!

Yeah, Mooer must've gotten a good deal on those displays, because they're sticking them on everything these days.

 

[Lysander]

Awww man, apparently the only way to edit presets is through the phone app

In that video it sounds nice, but I'd guess it's the line out used. If the onboard speakers are able to halfway transport that sound, it might be fine.
Phone-only editing however sucks quite a bit.

Most of that demo is recorded through a N22 ribbon mike There's a few DI clips by the end of the video, which surprisingly don't sound as good as the mic'ed tones.

Yeah, it's killing me I was pretty much dead set on getting one.

 

[Lysander]

Mooer now sells a 40W version, with XLR input for microphones.

 

[newholland]

sheesh. id park one in my living room for couch playing. id probably ditch all the verb delay and cheez wiz and never engage the app again
but i guess i could do that with any cheap practice amp too.

 

[ChordInversion]

I know it looks funny, but I still like my Vox Adio Air GT. And it has knobs.

 

[Grumms]

I have the F40i Li. I use it mainly as a FRFR unit for my GP5 or my Ampero 2 Stomp. But sometimes I use it in standalone and it's OK. Looper and drums are much appreciated. Looper has the con to not record the Bluetooth audio, but maybe it will be improved in future firmware releases.

And the battery features is loveable too. It's a pleasure having less and less cable.
