TERMINOLOGY
This section explains the terminology used in the manual. Understanding the terminology will help you understand the contents of the manual.
Preset: A pre-programmed sound configuration, usually including settings for effects used in the effects chain and their parameters. A preset is stored in a storage slot indicated by a bank number (01 – 50) followed by a preset letter (A-D). The 4 presets in each bank can be selected with the A, B, C or D footswitches.
Effects chain: The sequence of effects a signal has to pass through within the GS1000 to get from the inputs to the outputs
Effect module: The general category of effects models that can be positioned in the effects chain, such as AMP (amp modules), CAB (cabinet simulation modules), REVERB (reverb modules) and so on.
Effect type: A specific effect within an effect category, such as “Red Compressor” in category “DYNA”.
Effect slot:
An empty position in the effects chain is shown as a this position.
. Click the symbol to load an effect in
Stage View: Main interface mode showing information that facilitates stage performance and highlights preset numbers and names to provide for good visibility.
Edit View: Main interface mode for sound editing, showing the selected preset, the composition of the effects chain, the status of effect modules in the chain, the preset-based volume level, the current BPM settings and input/output levels. It also shows the battery status for the GS1000 Li and provides access to other settings menus.
Stompbox control mode (CTRL Mode): Mode for directly controlling the on/off status of up to four effect modules in the effects chain or the tap tempo for selected parameters using the four footswitches in the lower row. This mode also allows for complex configuration changes with a single step on a footswitch (SUBPATCH switching). The footswitches can each be individually programmed for their specific CTRL function. (See CTRL Mode.)
Groove Station: Mode that combines controls for a Dum Machine and Phrase Looper functions. Drum Machine and Looper can also be synchronized in this mode. (See GROOVE STATION.)
MNRS sampling: You can use the Mooer Non-linear Response Sample technology to capture the sound characteristics of your favorite physical equipment using the Sampling function of the GS1000. This supports various capture modes for stompboxes (i.e. distortion / overdrive), preamps, combo amps or speaker cabinets.
Node
Nodes are points in the effect chain where the signal can be routed into two separate chains or combined from two chains into one (depending on the signal routing structure you have configured).
There are “split nodes” which separate signals and “mix nodes” which combine signals. Depending on the usage scenario, several parameters can be adjusted for the individual nodes.

Shut down
Press the Power button for about 3 seconds until the message “Are you sure to Shut Down?” appears on the screen. Confirm the shutdown (YES) or cancel it (NO). Note for the GS1000 Li: If the power cable is still connected after shutdown, the screen will show a dimmed graphic to indicate the battery charging status.
OPERATION
Preset editing
Before you start editing, it is recommended that you open an empty preset (named ‘EMPTY’) to work with. Preset composition A preset in the GS1000 consists of the following components:
all effect models (modules) positioned in the current effect chain, the effect chain sequence, the on/off status of each module in the chain, the input and output configuration the module parameter settings of each module, the expression pedal parameter settings, the preset volume value (PATCH LEVEL), the BPM value (if used by effects within the preset), the preset name and the color label. Adding effects You can add effects to the effect chain in the following way: Make sure your are in Edit View and click on an empty effect slot in the effect chain (shown as a “+”). The screen will show a list of available effects. Select an effect module category on the left side of the screen. Then select the specific effect type from the list on the right. See ANNEX1: EFFECT DESCRIPTIONS for a list of available effects.
Click the “X” in the upper right corner to close the selection screen and open the parameter editing screen for the selected effect (see Parameter editing). Click the “X” in the parameter editing screen to return to the main Edit View. The display now shows the new module positioned in the effect chain.
10
Note: The GS1000 effect chain is divided into two lines: A (top line) and B (bottom line). Each line has seven positions for effect modules, for a total of 14 effect modules. The effect chain supports the addition of several instances of the same effect module (with the exception of the FX LOOP module). See section DSP Resources below. DSP resources The number of modules in the chain and the number of times the same module that can be added is limited by the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) resources allocated to each module by the operating system. Depending on their complexity, some modules may require more DSP resources than others. The DSP load only depends on the existence of the module in the chain, not on their on/off status or their parameter settings. Check the DSP processing load indication in the upper right corner of the display. It shows the balance of DSP resources required for the currently selected modules. With increasing percentage of utilized DSP resources, some modules may no longer be available for addition to the effects chain (grayed out in the list) because adding them would exceed the remaining available DSP resources. The DSP resource indication usually takes a few seconds to update after a module was added or removed from the chain. Avoid using close to 100 % DSP resources or you may experience sound clipping due to transient overload conditions. Activating / deactivating effects Note: Active modules are shown as colored icons in the effects chain. Deactivated modules are shown as grey icons and slightly above the effect chain line. Option 1: Slide the effect icon on the touch screen slightly up/down to activate/deactivate the module.
Option 2: Select a module on the touch screen (highlighted by a frame) and press the SELECT knob to activate / deactivate the module.
For more options to activate/deactivate effect modules while playing, see CTRL Mode or MIDI. Changing the effect chain type For more diversity and usage options, the dual effect chain of the GS1000 supports a variety of routing structures by establishing signal routing nodes. You can click on the Effect Chain Type icon at the bottom of the main editing interface for a quick setup:
11
A set of routing templates is opened to allow you to quickly select the type of effect chain that is closest to your needs. Select one and close the selection screen with the X in the upper right corner. The effect chain will now show nodes according to the template you have selected. You can then move the node positions in the chain by dragging them in the touch screen.
The following diagrams illustrate the positions of split nodes can be moved in the effect chain A (top line):
Locations where split nodes can be moved:
and mix nodes
and how they
Locations where the mix node can be moved:
The following rules apply when both split nodes and mix nodes are used in the effect chain: 1. The mix node cannot be set before the split node. 2. Two nodes cannot be set in the same position. For example, two nodes cannot be positioned between A6 and A7 at the same time. 3. Split node and input B (IN B) can be converted into each other. Similarly, mix node and output B (OUT B) can also be converted into each other. This is accomplished by dragging the split node onto the INB Symbol (or vice versa) or by dragging the mix node onto OUTB (or vice versa).
This means in practical application, that you can manually create the five effect chain patters suggested as templates in the effect chain mode setting screen: Serial, Dual, Split, Mix and Parallel. Chain types
12
Serial mode: The most conventional form of effect chain, suitable for most needs and without complex separation, mixing or parallel processing. Players who are new to effect chains should start from this type.
Serial mode Dual chain mode: Two completely independent effect chains, with separate input and output interface settings. This is often applied with two sets of instruments or connections to independent effect processing equipment. Example: the guitar input runs through effect chain and the microphone input runs through another effect chain.
Dual chain mode Split mode: After passing some effects or directly after the input, the incoming signal is split and routed to different effects and outputs. This can be used in mixed full-range / non-full-range output scenarios, for instance, where the built-in cabinet simulation is applied to the signal for the full-range platform, and the cabinet simulation is not applied to the signal going to an instrument amp with speakers.
Without cab simulation
With cab simulation
Split mode – Non-FRFR / FRFR output If the split node is configured as A/B switcher and one of the footswitches is configured for A/B switching in CTRL mode (see CTRL Mode), the setup can be used to switch between two different chains as shown below:
Split mode – A/B switcher – B chain 13
Split mode – A/B switcher – A chain Mix Mode: This mode can be used to combine partially independent effect chains into one chain, which is then routed to common effects and the same output. Example: Guitar and vocal signals are processed through their own independent preamp and equalization, and then mixed and have the same spatial effects applied to ensure the consistency of the spatial sense. As shown below, guitar effects can be loaded into positions A1 to A5, the microphone effects can be loaded into B1 to B7, and both signals then run through the same spatial effects in positions A6 and A7 for uniform touch-ups.
Parallel Mode: This mode is suitable for the scenarios with parallel mixes in the effect chain. If, for example, chains A and B are loaded with two sets of different types of master tones for mixing, resulting in a unique tone that combines the qualities of both. As shown in the figure below, you can load a set of modules for amplifiers and cabinets in slots A3 to A5, and load another set of modules at any position in the B chain. Then match the volume ratio of the A and B chains in the mixing node to create a unique custom sound.
The examples above are just some of many possible effect chain applications. Don’t feel limited by dogmas – let your imagination run free and create your own ways of doing things.

Parameter settings for nodes / inputs / outputs
As described above, nodes can be dragged to move them in the effect chain and create different configurations. In-line nodes, as well as the input and output nodes, are also designed with corresponding parameters that can be adjusted to meet different needs. Double-click an input, output or node on the touch screen to open the corresponding settings screen.

Changing effect positions
The sequence of modules the signal has to pass through in the effect chain has an effect on the resulting sound. Changing the relative order of the modules in the effect chain is therefore not only a question of operational convenience, but also important for achieving the desired sound.
Option 1: On the touch screen: use your finger to drag the module to the desired position in the chain. Should the desired position already be occupied, the other modules in the chain will automatically shift out of the way to the next available position.
Option 2: Select a module on the touch screen (highlighted by frame) and rotate the SELECT knob to move the module.
17
Removing effects If you need to remove an effect module from the effect chain of the current preset, long press the target module on the touch screen until the delete symbol (-) appears in the upper right corner of the module icon. Then click the delete symbol to remove the effect module from the chain.
Touch the blank area above the effect chain on the touch screen to return to the normal state (the deletion icon disappears). Parameter editing Double click a module icon in the effect chain on the touch screen to open the parameter editing interface. You can adjust the parameters in the following two ways: Option 1: Touch the desired parameter dial on the touch screen, and use your finger to slide the dial to the desired value.
Option 2: Touch the desired parameter dial on the touch screen (parameter name is highlighted in green), and rotate the SELECT knob to fine-tune the desired value. You can also press the SELECT knob to return the parameter to its default value.
18
Should the effect have more parameters than fit on one screen page, click the page number below the parameter dials to access the next page.
Click the “X” in the parameter editing screen to return to the main Edit View. See ANNEX 1: EFFECT DESCRIPTIONS for parameter descriptions. See Spill-Over (Effect Trails) for information about effect trail parameters. Changing the effect model/type To change the current effect module to another model or effect type, open the parameter editing screen for the module you want to change (see above) and click the effect icon in the upper left corner. The effect selection screen is opened, from which you can select the desired effect model and the specific type. Click the “X” in the upper right corner of the selection screen to return to the parameter editing screen. Then click the “X” in the parameter editing screen to return to the main Edit View.

If PRESET is selected, the tempo change is only effective for the current preset, and other presets can have different tempos. You need to save your preset before switching to another preset. If GLOBAL is selected, the tempo value change is effective for all presets, and all other presets will be set to the currently displayed value. Global BPM changes do not have to be saved and will overwrite all individual BMP settings for other presets. You can set the tempo value in several different ways: Option 1: Adjust the tempo value by sliding the orange dot around the circle.
Option 2: Adjust the tempo value by tapping the “TAP” section on the touch screen several times.
Option 3: Fine-tune with 1 BPM resolution by clicking the ‘-/+’ fields.
Option 4: Fine-tune with 1 BPM resolution by rotating the SELECT knob while this screen is open.
21
You can use any of these four methods, or a combination of them, to quickly adjust the desired BPM tempo. Note: The tempo range of the GS1000 is 40 – 260 BPM. Tap the “X” in the upper right corner to return to the main Edit View. Saving presets ! Note: If you switch presets (see Preset Selection) without saving your settings first, all changes will be lost and the preset will return to the previously saved settings the next time you select it. After adjusting all necessary settings, press the physical SAVE button on the panel or click the Save icon on the touch screen in Edit View to save your settings.
This will open the Save screen:
Select a color from the top row. The selected color will be applied as follows: the color of the preset name in the main interface (Edit View and Stage View), the color of the label and the preset name in the drop-down preset list of the Edit View, the color of the LED bar above the A/B/C/D footswitches in Stage and Edit mode, the color of the large preset block in the bank selection screen after A+B or C+D was pressed.
You can set several presets to the same color or to individual colors to quickly find them during stage performances without having to think about this too much while you are playing. Enter a preset name using the on-screen keyboard. Click the preset number to the left of the preset name to open a drop-down menu to select a desired preset slot. The currently used slot is used by default. ! Note: Any already existing settings in a selected preset slot will be overridden by the current settings. Click SAVE or press the SAVE button again to confirm the saving process. You will be prompted for another “YES/NO” confirmation on the touch screen.
22
Cancel: Click the “X” in the upper right corner or press the HOME or SETTING buttons to exit the saving process without saving.
AI Equalizer
The AI EQ MASTER is a self-learning graphic equalizer. The built-in self-learning algorithm can automatically adjust the master tone frequency response curve based on a selected sound type and style of music. This is helpful to quickly achieve an almost ideal baseline for tone adjustments. To use the feature:
Add an Equalizer module at the desired position in the effect chain. Select “AI EQ Master” in the EQ category. (If you are already using a lot of DSP resources, this
feature may not be available for selection. Try to reduce the DSP load by removing other modules.) Use the drop-down menus to select the Type of sound (Clean, Overdrive, Distortion …) and the Genre of music you want to use (Rock, Pop, Blues …). Click the red button to start the learning process and play a phrase until the progress bar below the buttons reaches the end and a frequency response curve is generated. Note: If no curve is generated after the progress bar has reached the end, the AI was unable to extract enough information from your playing to generate the curve. Start the learning progress again and play a greater variety of chords in different positions on the neck to generate a larger sample size for the AI. Use the 5-band equalization controls below to fine-tune the results to your preference.
Click on the areas below the EQ controls to cycle through Gain, Frequency and Q adjustments.
Compare the difference in tone before and after processing by clicking the ON/OFF button. If you are not satisfied, you can click the trashcan icon to delete and start a new learning
process. Note: The learning results are stored with the preset (don’t forget to save before switching presets) and can be used in this preset only. You have to go through the learning process for each preset you want to use the AI EQ Master with.
23
CTRL Mode
The CTRL (control) mode is a footswitch mode based on the currently selected preset.
In CTRL mode, the B/C/D footswitches can be used to control modules in the effect chain of the current preset the same way you would control stompboxes on a physical pedal board by using the ON/OFF footswitches of individual pedals. Alternatively, one of the footswitches can be configured for Tap Tempo input to set the tempo for Delay / Reverb effects. If A/B switching is activated for a split node in the effect chain (see Split Nodes), one of the footswitches can be assigned to perform this A/B switching. In Stombox mode, one press of a footswitch can toggle one (Single mode) or several (Multiple mode) modules in the effect chain.
In addition to this, you can use the SubPatch mode to program up to three complex switching scenarios like activating/deactivating several modules at the same time and additionally switch one or several parameters to a different value. These three scenarios are called SubPatches and can be activated using the B/C/D footswitches in CTRL mode.
The configuration of the footswitches only affects the currently selected preset. Each preset can have different CTRL mode footswitch configurations. Activating the CTRL mode In Stage View or Edit View, one of the A, B, C or D footswitches will have the LED bar above it illuminated to indicate the currently active preset. Step on this footswitch to open the CTRL mode.
The touch screen now displays “STOMPBOX” or “SUBPATCH” and two fields for each of the three programmable footswitches (B/C/D).
Long-press the A footswitch or the A field to switch between STOMPBOX and SUBPATCH mode.
In STOMPBOX mode, the lower row of B/C/D fields is highlighted and the word “STOMPBOX” is shown in the upper right corner. In SUBPATCH mode, the upper row of B/C/D fields is highlighted and the word “SUBPATCH” is shown in the upper right corner.
You can leave the CTRL mode and return to Stage View or Edit View by short-pressing the A footswitch or the HOME button.
The Footswitch functions correspond to the indication in the respective fields. I.e. in STOMPBOX mode, footswitch B will carry out the function indicated in the B field in the lower row and in SUBPATCH mode, footswitch B will carry out the function indicated in the B field in the upper row. The fields in the screen and the LED bar above the footswitch indicate which function is currently activated.
A STOMPBOX field will show EMPTY when no function is assigned yet.
24
If you step on a footswitch to perform a SUBPATCH function without a SubPatch being assigned, the current preset effect chain configuration will remain unaffected.
Summary: Use the B/C/D footswitches to execute the assigned functions as indicated in the fields on the screen. Use the A footswitch to exit the CTRL mode (this switch cannot be assigned to a different function). Long-press A footswitch to switch between the STOMPBOX mode and SUBPATCH mode.
Assigning CTRL functions Before configuring CTRL functions, you need to select the sub-mode you want to configure: SUBPATCH mode or STOMPBOX mode. Long-press the A footswitch to toggle between the modes.
After configuration is complete, the B/C/D footswitches can be used to perform the selected functions for as long as the CTRL mode is active. (See F4 WIRELESS FOOTSWITCH for additional options.)
Note: CTRL footswitch assignments must be manually saved into a preset. If you switch presets before you save the current preset, your CTRL assignments for the current preset will be lost. (See Save presets)
Stompbox mode Click on the “…” symbol in the upper right corner of each footswitch field in the lower row to assign either tap tempo (TAP), effect modules (STOMPBOX) or A/B switching to each footswitch.
Use “Clear” to remove an assigned function or “Rename” to assign an easily recognizable name (e.g. Chorus, Verse, Bridge …) to the field (only if STOMPBOX is assigned). This name will only be used in the footswitch field in CTRL mode, not in the Edit View.
Tap mode If set to the TAP function, this footswitch can be tapped several times to input the desired BPM tempo for effect parameters that are capable of interpreting this value (e.g. Delay effects). The LED bar above this footswitch will blink to indicate the selected tempo.
Single mode If set to STOMPBOX (SINGLE), a sub-menu showing all effect modules in the current effect chain will be displayed. Select one by clicking on it. This module will then be directly turned ON/OFF by stepping on the respective footswitch in CTRL Mode. Confirm your selection by clicking DONE.
25
Sub menu in Single mode
Multiple mode If set to STOMPBOX (MULTIPLE), a sub-menu showing all effect modules in the current effect chain will be displayed. You can select several of them by clicking on them. These modules will then be directly and simultaneously toggled ON/OFF by stepping on the respective footswitch in CTRL Mode. Confirm your selection by clicking DONE.
Sub menu in Multiple mode
In the top row of each selection screen you can select a color for the respective footswitch field in the CTRL screen to make finding the correct effect easier on stage (the same color will be used for the LED bar above the footswitch). The field for a footswitch with multiple modules assigned will show a “Multiple” label and an icon indicating multiple effect modules. A/B Mode If the effects chain is configured with a split node and the mode of the split node is set to A/B switching, you can assign the A/B switching function to one of the B/C/D footswitches. Assigning an A/B switch is only possible after a split node has been set to A/B switching (see Split node). Otherwise this option will be grayed out and not available for selection.

CTRL screen examples, showing properly configured footswitches in STOMPBOX mode
SubPatch mode The SubPatch function allows you to change the on/off status of a module in the effect chain and at the same time also change the status of parameters with the same footswitch action. This way you can realize pretty dramatic changes in sound. You can change the type of the amplifier model, toggle a delay effect and modify the distortion, etc. – all without changing the preset. You can have three different SubPatches (Sub 1 – Sub 3) for each preset. They can be individually selected using the B/C/D footswitches.
Application scenario: When using the Multiple mode described above, you may have wondered if you could change both the ON/OFF state of some modules and at the same time change parameter values with a single step of your foot. You can use the SubPatch mode to accomplish complex switching scenarios like this. You can load all the effect modules usually required by two completely different presets into one preset. In the parameter settings view, you can allocate parameter mappings to a corresponding group (SubPatch) by long-pressing the parameter icon. In CTRL mode view, you can adjust the combination of modules for the group. The following section describes the setup of a SubPatch in detail.
1. Mapping a parameter to a SubPatch
Method 1: Open the parameter editing view and long-press the parameter you want to control with SubPatch mode. Select Setting SubPatch in the pop-up menu. This opens a sub-menu for setting the parameter values controlled by SubPatches 1, 2 or 3 (Sub1 … Sub3). Adjust the parameters and click DONE to confirm. You can click the Delete icon (-) on the right side of the parameter to cancel the parameter mapping.
A parameter mapped to a SubPatch will have the parameter name displayed between two asterisks to indicate the SubPatch mapping:
27
Method 2: Click the SubPatch icon in Edit View. A selection box for S0 – S3 will pop up (with S0 standing for “no SubPatch active”). Select the SubPatch you want adjust. The parameter editing view will be opened.
S0
S1
S2
S3
The name of the parameter assigned to the SubPatch is shown between two asterisks. Modify the parameter using the touch screen or the SELECT knob. The modified value will be
directly mapped to the current SubPatch.
2. Configuring the effect module switching status for a SubPatch
Method 1: Long press the SubPatch Icon in Edit View. This will directly open the SubPatch setting view. You can now slide the module icons in the effect chain slightly up/down to activate or deactivate them and thus define the combination of effects this SubPatch uses. The changes will take effect in real time. Click DONE to complete the settings.
Hold
Method 2: Step on the footswitch for the currently active preset to open the CTRL mode view. Long-press the A footswitch, to switch the CTRL functions between STOMPBOX mode and SUBPATCH mode. Select SUBPATCH mode. In SUBPATCH mode, the upper row of B/C/D fields in the screen is highlighted. Click the … icon in the upper right corner of the B/C/D SUB fields and select SubPatch Setting to view and adjust the settings for the respective SubPatch. A sub-menu showing the effect chain will be opened. Move the effect models to the desired positions and set their on/off status for the respective SubPatch. The changes will take effect in real time. You can also use the color blocks in the upper part of the screen to select a color for the SubPatch. This color will be used for the SUB field in the CTRL screen, for the LED bar above the footswitch, when this SubPatch is active and for the SubPatch Icon in the Edit view. Click DONE to complete the settings.
28
3. Modifying / deleting parameter settings in a SubPatch 1st method:
Find the corresponding parameter in the parameter editing view. Long-press the parameter icon. Select SubPatches in the pop-up box. Set different parameter values for this parameter for the three SubPatches (Sub1 … Sub3) or
click the delete icon (-) on the right side of the parameter value to delete the mapping of this parameter for this SubPatch.
2nd method: In CTRL mode view, find the SubPatch using the parameter you want to modify and click the … icon in the upper right corner of the SubPatch. In the lower right corner of the sub-menu, select the second page to view and modify the parameters mapped to this SubPatch. Click the delete icon (-) on the right side of a parameter to cancel the mapping of this parameter to this SubPatch. Click DONE to complete the setting changes
Note: You need to save the preset to make sure your setting changes are stored. They will otherwise get lost as soon as you change presets. 3rd method: A parameter that has been mapped to any SubPatch will have its name marked with two asterisks. Once you have switched to the SubPatch to which this parameter has been mapped, you can adjust the parameter directly in the parameter editing area.
29
4. CTRL priority setting The Preferences section in the Global Settings view has a Priority Mode setting, which sets the function mode that is active when you access the CTRL mode: SUBPATCH or STOMPBOX mode. The priority can also be set by clicking the … icon in the upper right corner of the A field in CTRL mode view.
5. Renaming and clearing a SubPatch: By default, the three available SubPatches are labeled SUB1, SUB2 and SUB3 in their respective fields in CTRL view mode. Once you have configured a SubPatch, you can click the … icon in a SubPatch field and select Rename to change the name of the SubPatch according to your needs. Use the pop-up keyboard, and click DONE to confirm the new name. Next to the Rename function you will find a Clear button. Use this to clear all mappings to this SubPatch.
Expression Pedal
The GS1000 can be connected to an external TRS expression pedal (EXP connector on the back panel). The pedal can be used as volume pedal or as an expression pedal to control multiple modules and parameters. Once an external pedal is connected, the pedal icon at the top of the main view interface lights up. The default setting is the volume pedal.
30
All settings such as the parameter assignments or the use as volume/expression pedal are different for each preset and must be saved with the preset. Pedal calibration You need to calibrate pedal before you use it for the first time. Calibration also needs to be carried out when you switch external pedals or if you experience erratic pedal function. The calibration is global and does not have to be repeated for each preset. Click the pedal icon at the bottom of the Edit View to open the expression pedal settings screen.
Click CALIBRATE on the left side and follow the instructions on screen:
Flip the pedal all the way open and click NEXT.
Close the pedal completely and click DONE.
If prompted that the calibration was not successful, please confirm that the pedal was moved from fully open to fully closed between the steps or troubleshoot connection / wiring problems. Then repeat the steps again
31
Configuration as master volume pedal If an external pedal is connected correctly, the pedal icon in the main view will be lit. Click on the pedal icon and then click “Setting to Volume” in the pop-up menu.
In System Settings – Preferences, you can set the volume pedal globally to Pre or Post. A “Pre” volume pedal controls the input volume of the effect chain, which also affects the gain of distortion modules. A “Post” volume pedal controls the total output volume, including the peripheral effects. Configuration as expression pedal Follow the same steps as above, but select “Setting to Parameters” in order to configure the pedal as expression pedal.
The expression pedal can be mapped to control several effect parameters of the same or different effect modules simultaneously. All mappings affect only the current preset and must be stored with the preset. Save your preset after mapping parameters before you switch presets.
In Edit view: double click the effect module you want to control with the expression pedal to enter the parameter editing screen.
Long press the desired parameter until a context menu opens. Select “Assign to EXP” in the pop-up menu. Set the desired parameter values (in percent) for the closed and open positions of the pedal
(e.g. “100” and “0” for normal operation or “0” and “100” for reverse operation, or any value in between). Click “DONE” to complete the mapping.
32
The parameters mapped to the expression pedal will have their name highlighted in blue to distinguish them from regular parameters. You can still adjust them manually, but as soon as you use the expression pedal, the manual setting will be overwritten by the expression pedal input. All mapped parameters can be modified individually in the EXPRESSION PEDAL SETTINGS PARAMETERS screen:
Click the pedal icon at the bottom of the Edit View to open the expression pedal settings screen.
Click PARAMETERS on the left side. All pedal mappings for the current preset will be listed. Click the parameter you want to modify, and adjust the values by sliding the bars or by
rotating the SELECT knob.
Remove expression mappings Option 1: Find the mapped parameter (name highlighted) in the parameter editing interface. Long press the desired parameter. Select “EXP Settings” in the pop-up menu then click “Clean Settings” in the EXP Settings menu.
Option 2: Click the pedal icon at the bottom of the Edit View, to enter the EXPRESSION PEDAL SETTINGS screen. Click PARAMETERS on the left side. In the list on the right: click the delete symbol (-) behind the parameter you want to remove.
33
Volume Pedal Settings Select VOLUME on the left side of the EXP pedal settings view to set maximum and minimum volume for the EXP pedal when it is used in volume mode.
If you switch the volume pedal OFF in this view, the pedal can no longer be used as a Volume pedal, even if this is indicated by the symbol in the Main view.
34
USING EFFECT LOOPS
The GS1000 is equipped with jacks for a single-port stereo effect loop. This means that the SEND and RETURN jacks of the FX LOOP not only support the connection of mono devices, but can also be used to connect to external stereo devices using Y-format audio cable adapters.
(Single port stereo FX LOOP)
(TRS to dual TS adapter cable, Y-format cable)
The following section explains several conventional usage scenarios for effect loops.
Connecting external effect pedals
Connection method:
(Connection to mono effect)
(Connection to stereo effect)
Note: After adding the FX LOOP module in the signal chain, you need to set the mode (mono/stereo) of “Send” and “Return” in the module parameters according to the actual connection situation.
Setting up the FX LOOP module
After completing the physical connections, you need to add the FX LOOP module to the effect chain in Edit View. There are two different ways to set up the FX LOOP module depending on the position of Send and Return in the effect chain:
Send/Return on the same node (both SEND and RETURN occupy the same position in the effect chain)
35
Click in the desired position of the effect chain, and add the effect module “FX LOOP” with type “FX LOOP”. This setting is suitable for most external effects that can be embedded in the GS1000 effect chain. The actual signal flow is shown in the figure below:
External effects
Internal effects
Send/Return on different nodes (SEND and RETURN occupy different positions in the effects chain)
Add one effect module “FX LOOP” into the effect chain with type “FX SEND” and another one with type “FX RETURN”. This setting is suitable for scenarios with the external effects in parallel with some of the internal effects or for A/B switching. The actual signal flow is shown in the figure below.
Effect loop set to parallel connection (FX SEND module set to Parallel Mode):
External effects
Internal effects
SEND
RETURN
Effect loop set to series connection (FX SEND module set to Serial Mode):
External effects
Internal effects
SEND
(Effect loop active)
RETURN
(Effect loop inactive)
36
4-Wire connection method
As the name suggests, the four-wire connection method refers to two devices with effect loop capabilities connected to each other using four audio cables. This way, the two signal links are embedded into each other, in order to achieve the specific purpose for which this method was developed. Connection method:
FX LOOP module settings: Scenario 1: Splitting the GS1000 effect chain into pre-effects and post-effects. When used with amplifiers, some effects (e.g. compression, overdrive, etc.) are better suited to be connected to the INPUT of the amp (pre-effects), while other effects (e.g. delay, reverb, etc.) are better suited to be connected between the pre-amp and the power amp (i.e. in the effects loop of the amplifier = post-effects). You can achieve this scenario with the following setup in the GS1000’s FX LOOP:
Connect the GS1000 and the amplifier as shown in the connection diagram above. Add the FX LOOP module to the GS1000 effect chain. Move the pre-effects modules (effects suited to be plugged into the input of the amp) before
the FX LOOP module. Move the post-effects modules (effects suited to be inserted in the effects loop of the amp)
after the FX LOOP module. Set the Type in the FX LOOP module to “Mono” and the Mode to “Serial”.
37
Pre-effects
Post-effects
Select series mode
With these settings, the actual signal chain is configured as follows:
Guitar Amp
Preamp
Power Amp
Speaker Cabinet
Scenario 2: A/B switching between the preamp simulation within the GS1000 and the physical preamp of the actual amplifier.
The same four-wire connection method can be used to realize A/B switching between internal preamp modules and a physical external preamp with the help of the FX LOOP module and a corresponding footswitch setting in CTRL mode.
Add the FX SEND and FX RETURN modules to the GS1000 effect chain. Add an AMP module and select a preamp model (without cabinet). Move the AMP module between FX SEND and FX RETURN. Set the type in the FX SEND and RETURN modules to “Mono” and the Mode to “Serial”. Configure one footswitch to control the FX SEND module in CTRL mode.
38
With these settings, the actual signal chain is configured as follows:
Guitar Amp
Preamp
Power Amp
Speaker Cabinet
Activate SEND in CTRL mode to use the amplifier’s preamp.
Guitar Amp
Speaker Cabinet
Preamp
Power Amp
Deactivate SEND to use the internal preamp module.
Extended input and output options
The effect loop interface is essentially an input/output interface that can define its own position, with FX SEND as the output interface and FX RETURN as the input interface. When there is no requirement for external effects or four-wire connections, the FX LOOP can be used as an extended input and output interface for several common scenarios.
Scenario 1: Auxiliary Audio Input (AUX IN) Add the FX RETURN module to the GS1000 effect chain. Move it to the appropriate position or to the very end of the effects chain if you don’t want the incoming audio to pass through any internal effect modules. Connect an external audio source to the FX LOOP RETURN. Select the type in the FX RETURN module as ‘Mono’ or ‘Stereo’ depending on the audio source.
39
Scenario 2: Expanded output mode (e.g. different outputs with or without cab simulation) Add the FX SEND module to the GS1000 effect chain. Move it before the CAB module in the effect chain. Select the FX SEND module mode as “Parallel” and the wet/dry ratio as “50:50”.
With these settings, the signal output from the FX SEND output does not have cab simulation applied, and the signal output from the other outputs includes a cab simulation.
MNRS SAMPLING
The MNRS sampling function of the GS1000 allows you to “pocket” the sounds of your favorite pieces of physical equipment (overdrive pedals, preamps, entire amplifiers or cabinets) and save and share the sound files via cloud using the MOOER STUDIO computer software and the MOOER CLOUD mobile app. This section explains how to capture the sound of these devices. Press the “SAMPLING” button on the GS1000 to open the capture interface. If you use the feature for the first time, please read the disclaimer statement, check the “I have read …” radio button and click on NEXT.
In the sampling mode selection interface, select the type of device you want to capture. The acquisition process is the same for overdrive, preamplifiers and full amplifiers. The following is an example of the acquisition of a full amplifier sample and a speaker sample:
40
Caution: During the acquisition process of an entire amplifier or a speaker cabinet, a series of loud sampling signals will be played through the physical equipment. Make sure to provide sound insulation and volume protection.
Full amplifier sampling
Select the “ENTIRE” icon. Connect the equipment according to the connection diagram on the screen and click NEXT. (A microphone and an XLR cable are required for full amplifier sampling.)
After opening the sampling interface, you can monitor the current target tone signal in real time from the 1/4″ output and the headphone jack. In this step, you can confirm the target sound and the microphone position. After confirming the sound, click SAMPLE to start the acquisition process.
If there is an indication that the volume is too loud or too low during sampling, make adjustments on the acquisition target as appropriate.
(Turn the output volume of the target up) (Turn the output volume of the target down) Once the sampling progress on the interface reaches 100%, sampling is completed, and you can click on the TARGET tone and the sampling MODEL to switch between them and listen to them for comparison. The spectrum diagram in the interface follows the switching between TARGET and MODEL and displays the spectrum status of the current sound in real time.
(Listen to real target)
(Listen to sample result) 41
At this point, the sampling is completed. If you wish to further correct the results you can continue to make adjustments as follows: Volume and gain level fine tuning: If the sampling result needs to be adjusted in terms of volume or gain, use the Gain and Model Volume knobs in the interface adjust the parameters.
Tone Capture: The second step is to capture your instrument to fit its sound characteristics to the sampled equipment. Click on CAPTURE. Strum strings 6 to 1 in increments from the open string all the way down the fingerboard. The entire process needs to cover as much of the fingerboard as you intend to play during your performance. The tone correction will be completed when the display shows 100%. Manual EQ Adjustment: Click on the EQ field to open the screen for manual equalization adjustment. This features three adjustable equalization bands, and you can use the graphic spectrum to assist in manual equalization adjustment.
Tap the area below each knob to cycle through Gain, Frequency and Q adjustments for the band’s equalization, and rotate the knob to change the value.
During the adjustment process, you can click on the TARGET tone and sample MODEL at any time to switch between them for comparison. Click SAMPLE in the lower left corner to return to the sampling interface.
42
Save sampling results
Click the SAVE button to save the sample. The current file type is shown at the top of the screen. Click on the slot selection box to select the storage location where you want to save the file. Enter a name using the keyboard and click SAVE.
After saving, the sample file can be found in the “GNR” list of the corresponding effect module.
Speaker cabinet sampling
Select the “CAB” icon. Connect the equipment according to the connection diagram on the screen and click NEXT.
(An amplifier with a RETURN jack or a pure power amp is required for cabinet sampling.)
After opening the sampling interface, you can monitor the current target tone signal in real time from the 1/4″ output and the headphone jack. This signal represents the built-in preamplifier model played through the physical speaker cabinet. In this step, you can adjust the microphone position.
Click the model selection box of the built-in preamplifier to select other types. The parameters under the model selection box can be adjusted for the tone of the preamp model.
Note: The selection of the preamp model will not affect the sampling result. This is only used to help you confirm the sound of the cabinet before sampling.
After confirming the sound, click SAMPLE to start the acquisition process.
43
If the volume is too high or too low during the sampling process, please adjust the acquisition target (the output volume of the power amp) according to the situation.
Once the sampling progress on the interface reaches 100%, the sampling is completed, and you can click on the TARGET tone and the sampling MODEL to switch between them and listen to them for comparison. The spectrum area in the interface follows the switching between TARGET and MODEL and displays the spectrum status of the current sound in real time.
(Listen to real target)
Save sampling results
Click the SAVE button to save the sample. The current file type is shown at the top of the screen. Click on the slot selection box to select the storage location where you want to save the file. Enter a name using the keyboard and click SAVE.
(Listen to sample result)
After saving, the sample file will be found in the “GNR” list of the corresponding effect type.

Looper Auto Record
Activate AUTO REC, adjust the appropriate trigger threshold, and press footswitch A to activate the standby function. The Looper will start recording as soon as the input signal triggers the threshold. When Auto Record is not active, the recording starts immediately with pressing A.
Drum synchronization
Activate DRUM SYNC to synchronize the Looper function with the Drum Machine when both features are to be used at the same time. This way, they will both be in synch with regard to the bar structure.
Pick the style and rhythm pattern for the Drum Machine first, and set the desired tempo. Activate DRUM SYNC. Execute “REC” for the Looper (Footswitch A).
A one-bar count-in will be played, based on the selected rhythm pattern.
47
Recording will begin after the count-in, and the Drum Machine will start playing in sync with the Looper recording.
To ensure proper synchronization between the two features, at the end of the first layer of recording (in “Play” mode) and after the Looper has reached an integer number of measures, the remaining part of the phrase loop that is less than one measure will be processed in 1/2 measures: less than 1/2 measure will be trimmed, and if it exceeds 1/2 measure, playback will be delayed until it reaches a full measure. Take a 4/4 beat as an example: When you record to the third beat of the fourth bar, playback will be executed (more than 1/2 bar), the LOOPER will record the fourth full bar and then switch to playback. The length of the loop is 4 full bars. If playback is executed when the recording of the fourth bar ends on beat 1 (less than 1/2 bar), the LOOPER will discard the extra content of the fourth bar and immediately start playback from the beginning, and the length of the loop will be 3 full bars. Note: In the following cases, there will be no count-in when synchronization is turned on:
AUTO RECORDING is active. The Drum Machine is already running before the Looper recording is started.
Close the Groove Station
Use any of the following methods to exit the Groove Station Mode: Click the “X” in the upper right corner. Press footswitches C + D simultaneously. Press the HOME button.
Note: If the Looper and/or the Drum Machine are playing when you close the Groove station, they will continue playing. You need to re-open the Groove Station in order to stop the Looper and/or the Drum Machine. Alternatively you can assign DRUM ON/OFF to the optional F4 wireless footswitch and operate the Drum Machine without opening the Groove Station. (See F4 WIRELESS FOOTSWITCH).

USB DIGITAL AUDIO
The GS1000 supports 24-bit, 44.1 kHz – 192 kHz low-latency sound card functions and supports most of the host software available for Windows and Mac systems. Windows system users need to install a special ASIO driver to realize low latency recording/monitoring. Please visit the official website to download the Windows ASIO sound card drivers. Mac users do not need to install the sound card driver. The system is plug-and-play for Mac.
Parameter descriptions
You can find the parameter settings for “USB Audio” in the GLOBAL SETTINGS screen. Press the SETTINGS icon on the main screen and scroll down to USB AUDIO. Adjust the mode and parameter setting to the requirements of different usage scenarios.
Usage Modes Normal mode: You can use the GS1000 like an external sound card. The input will be automatically taken from the input jack of GS1000 (your guitar), and the output will be sent to the USB output port (digital signal) from the GS1000 to your computer. Re-AMP mode: You can use the GS1000 as a sound card and at the same use the digital audio signal processing features. The USB signal input of the GS1000 (digital signal received from the computer) will be automatically used as input, and the USB output (digital audio signal) to the computer will be used as output. The default factory setting for the GS1000 is Normal. Left channel / Right channel: When using the sound card recording function, these two switches can be used to determine whether the left and right outputs receive dry sound or processed effect sound. When “DRY” is selected, the output signal of the currently selected channel is not processed by the effect modules. When “WET” is selected, the output signal of the currently selected channel is processed by the effect modules. Selecting the left and right output signals as dry or wet can be convenient to preserve the dry signal for post-processing when recording. This way you can listen to the wet signal and record the dry signal. The default factory setting for the GS1000 is “WET” for both the left and right channel. Record Level: Adjust the recording level of the sound card function. The default factory setting is 0 dB. Mix Ratio: Adjusts the mix ratio between hard and soft monitoring.
49
A setting all the way to the left means that 100 % of the signal is coming from the GS1000 (hard monitoring). All the way to the right means that the 100 % of the signal comes from the computer/DAW/plug-in, etc. (soft monitoring). With a center setting of 50:50, the ratio of hardware output to USB digital input is 1:1. The default factory setting is a 50:50 mix of hard and soft monitoring.
Playback Level: Adjusts the volume level of the digital input of the sound card function, i.e. playback volume. The default factory setting is 0 dB.
Mode descriptions
Normal mode In this mode, the GS1000 will act as an external sound card with effects and the computer software can be used for recording. The signal path of this mode is shown below:
PC
Record level
Playback level
Input
DSP effects
Mixing ratio
Direct listening
Output
Setup: Set the Audio Mode to Normal. Open the recording software on the computer and configure it to use the GS1000 sound card driver. Then set the input and output ports to “Analog1/Analog2” of the GS1000 . Adjust the Wet and Dry settings for the left and right channel depending on the recording / monitoring requirements. Record a track, and pay attention to the input level indication to make sure there is no signal distortion (clipping) even with hard playing. If the input signal is too strong, adjust the Recording level accordingly. Play back the recorded track or other audio files to make sure that the return volume is appropriate (for different monitors, such as headphones or monitors), and adjust the Playback level accordingly. By playing the audio file through the GS1000, you can balance the volume ratio between the recorded audio and the live signal by adjusting the Mix Ratio. Confirm the input and output levels and start recording.
50
Re-Amp mode The Re-Amp recording mode is a digital audio signal reprocessing method, which can be used to run a dry signal track from a computer through the effect modules of GS1000, and then record it as a new “wet” track. The signal path of this mode is shown below:
PC
Playback level
DSP effects
Record level Output
Setup: Open the recording software and add two tracks. One of them is a dry track that needs reamping (pre-recorded or other audio track), the other one should be a blank track. Play the dry track through the GS1000 DSP effects and make sure the input level indication in the PC software shows no distortion (clipping). Adjust the level with Record level. While playing the dry track, you can also adjust the switches and parameters in the GS1000 for the desired Re-Amp effect. Listen to the output and adjust the level using the Playback level control. Select the blank track, activate the recording and play the dry track. Re-Amp is complete, when the dry track is finished.
Note:
After starting the recording software, you should set the GS1000 driver as input driver in the system settings or in the driver settings of the recording software. Also set the input and output ports to the input and output of the GS1000. Otherwise you could experience no input, no output, excessive lag or other abnormal conditions. When using Re-Amp mode, please select the effect chain mode as serial mode. After the Re-Amp function is activated, the input source of the effect chain will be fixed to USB, and this limitation will be restored after the USB mode is selected as Normal. We recommended that you do not try to adjust settings or operate switches on the GS1000 during the Re-Amp recording process, unless this is required for special effects. This may result in undesired results. Should you encounter too much lag, open the sound card driver control panel and adjust the cache settings to achieve a shorter lag time. After using the Re-Amp function, we recommend switching back to Normal mode. Otherwise the pedal may boot up in Re-Amp mode when started the next time and there will be no signal from the guitar input as the input would still be set to USB input.
51
BLUETOOTH AUDIO
The GS1000 supports a Bluetooth connection to play back audio material from other devices such as Smartphones or tablets. The Audio signal coming in over Bluetooth will be mixed with the signal from your guitar so you can use this feature for practice or to play along to an audio track.
Open the GLOBAL SETTINGS screen on your GS1000 by pressing the SETTINGS icon and scroll down to BLUETOOTH to activate the Bluetooth function for the GS1000.
Open the Bluetooth settings of your mobile device and make sure Bluetooth is active. Find “GS1000 Audio” in the list of available devices. Click “Connect” to be able to play music through the Bluetooth input of the GS1000. Use the volume controls on your device to control the input volume at the GS1000 and thus
the mix of the Bluetooth audio and the audio generated by your guitar playing through the GS1000.
MIDI CONFIGURATION
The GS1000 is equipped with a 3.5 mm TRS-type MIDI interface, and can be configured to send MIDI commands (MIDI OUT) or to receive them (MIDI IN). MIDI settings are global settings and apply to all presets.
Open the Global Settings screen by clicking the settings icon and scroll down to the MIDI settings.
Select “Controller” to configure the GS1000 as a MIDI controller, sending commands to other connected MIDI devices to control preset switching and other functions. Select “Slave” to configure the GS1000 as a controlled device that receives control commands from other MIDI devices.

GS1000 as controlled device
To configure the GS1000 as a controlled device, click the Settings icon, scroll down to MIDI, select “Slave” and click “Settings” to enter the configuration page. The following options are provided: MIDI Channel Click CHANNEL and select the MIDI command channel that the GS1000 is supposed to respond to. The factory default is channel 1. OMNI means the GS1000 will ignore the channel information and respond to the command directly. This simply means that no matter what channel is set by the transmitting device, the GS1000 will respond to the corresponding MIDI command.
CC Mapping In this list, you can set the function for each received CC code. The factory default is “Empty”. You can choose from a list of functions, depending on your needs. The following functions can be controlled with CC commands (this list may be incomplete and the items may not be listed in the same order as in the on-screen menu).

MIDI BANK
MIDI Clock: When active, MIDI clock commands are sent out based on the GS1000’s current BPM tempo.
58
USB MIDI: Enable this feature to send MIDI commands through the USB-C interface. MIDI BANK: When the GS1000 is set up as a controller and this option is turned on, a MIDI BANK CC code will be sent along with the PC code. When you are using the GS1000’s PC code to control other devices, you can try to turn off this switch if you encounter a situation in which the controlled device fails to respond.
F4 WIRELESS FOOTSWITCH
For extended control options, the GS1000 supports a connection to a MOOER F4 wireless footswitch (to be purchased separately). Please consult the manual for the F4 footswitch for battery specs and charging requirements. The GS1000 can only be connected to one wireless footswitch at a time. Before using the footswitch for the first time (or after a factory reset), please follow the steps below to pair the footswitch with the GS1000:
Switch the F4 footswitch on, press and hold footswitches A and C simultaneously to enter pairing mode (LED blinking).
Click the Footswitch icon in the main screen of the GS1000. Click START PAIRING. When the pairing is successful, the GS1000 shows “Unpair” in the top right corner and the
display on the F4 footswitch shows “On”. Once paired, the wireless footswitch will automatically connect to the GS1000 each time
both devices are turned on and within range of each other. Note: You can click “Unpair” to disconnect the F4 Footswitch.
Configuring the wireless footswitch
After the F4 is paired, press the wireless footswitch icon below the effect chain, or enter the GLOBAL SETTING menu to configure the wireless footswitch. The GLOBAL SETTINGS Menu also provides an option to turn the F4 footswitch on or off, without unpairing it. The wireless footswitch menu opens where you can select the functions you wish to control with each footswitch by clicking the field below each footswitch and selecting a function from the list.

OTHER GLOBAL SETTINGS
The GLOBAL SETTINGS screen can be accessed by clicking the settings icon at the bottom of the Edit View. Other global settings can be accessed by clicking the input or output indicators on the upper edge of the Edit View. Return to the previous screen by clicking the “X” in the upper right corner or by pressing the HOME button.
Global input settings
Click the input level indicator in the Edit View to open the global input settings screen.
The input gain for the guitar and microphone inputs can be adjusted on the left side of the pop-up window. Use it to compensate for strong signals from instrument pickups with different output characteristics or from signal amplifying pedals (boost, overdrive, distortion …) in front of the GS1000. You can get visual confirmation of the input level by watching the input level indication bars on the screen. A green indication is OK, a red indication means that the input signal is clipping i.e. distorted. Note: Adjusting the global input level can prevent input distortion caused by exceedingly powerful input signals. Use the global NOISE REDUCER feature to adjust the noise floor according to the requirements of different environments. This can eliminate the need for tedious preset by preset adjustments.
Global output settings
Click the output indicator in the Edit View to open the global output settings screen.
You can get visual confirmation of the output level at the end of the effect chain by watching the output level indication bars on the screen. A green indication is OK, a red indication means that the output signal is clipping i.e. distorted.
61
1. Global output levels You can use this page to set the output volume for each output interface individually, including the 1/4″ output ports, the headphone jack and the USB digital recording output. Use these settings to establish the relative volume ratio between the different outputs. The MASTER knob on the pedal will increase/decrease all outputs at the same time, but will maintain the ratios established here.
Select an output and slide the faders or rotate the SELECT knob for fine-tuning. The chain icon below each group of faders is a left/right channel synchronization switch. When the icon is lit, the left and right channels of the respective group are synchronized. When the icon is off, the left and right channels of the group can be set independently. Click the chain icon to toggle the status. Clicking on the top of the 1/4″ output sliders switches between balanced and unbalanced output match the current connection requirements. The sliders will be shown in orange to indicate balanced output.
2. Global equalization adjustment Click the second page to access the GLOBAL EQ screen. Use this feature to quickly adjust the sound to the requirements of different venues and the frequency response characteristics of different amplification equipment. This is the best way to avoid tedious preset by preset adjustments. The Global EQ needs to be turned ON to be effective.
62
3. Other function switches Click the third page to set global function switches.
GLOBAL CAB BYPASS: Global bypass for all cab simulation effects for the outputs. GLOBAL POWER AMP BYPASS: Global bypass for all power amp simulation effects for the outputs. These settings are applied to all presets and may be necessary for certain connection scenarios where different outputs with or without cabinet simulation (or amp simulation) are used. Note: After activating global CAB or POWERAMP bypass, you should avoid loading mono modules (models other than modulation, delay or reverb effects in stereo) behind the CAB or POWERAMP. If you load mono modules you will mix and superimpose left and right signals, and you cannot achieve the desired separate bypass effects for the left and right channels. LIMIT: Enable this switch to avoid digital signal clipping caused by the volume gain of an internal module exceeding the maximum dynamic range.
Screen Brightness
In some situations, you may want to adjust the screen brightness to adapt to different lighting environments, or to extend the battery life of the battery version. Click the Settings icon on the main view to open the settings and drag the BRIGHTNESS slider or rotate the SELECT knob to adjust screen brightness.
63
Lighting
This item allows you to set the ambient lighting of the GS1000, including the function, color and mode of the light bars on the top and bottom surfaces.
Top light bar If Values is selected, the top light bar will temporarily display the percentage of the value while a parameter is adjusted. With Charging selected (GS1000 Li only), the top light bar will show a dynamic effect when the power is off and charging. Bottom ambient lighting SignalSync: Dynamic flashing depending on the output signal strength (single color choice). Solid: Constant single color light. SlowFlashing: Slow flashing cycle in the selected color (single color choice). Rainbow: Dynamic flow sequence in the selected colors (multiple colors can be selected). After selecting a mode, click the color block(s) to select the ambient light color.
Move the slider to adjust the brightness of the bottom ambient light.
64
Preference section
This section allows adjustment of some personal preferences.
BANK SWITCH OVER DISPLAY
This setting controls how the bank selection view switches back to the main view after the A+B or C+D footswitches were pressed to select a different preset bank. If set to “Manual”, one of the A/B/C/D footswitches must be pressed (and therefore a preset within the bank selected) before the screen switches back to the main interface.
If a time is selected (open a drop-down menu by clicking the time field), the bank selection screen will be closed automatically after this time has elapsed. The previously used preset will still be active in this case. To change presets in the bank selection screen, you will have to tap one of the A/B/C/D footswitches before the selected time elapses.
STAGE VIEW
Use this setting to select one of two Stage View types: “Detailed Display” or “Large Display”.
Detailed display
Large display
TAP TEMPO
This setting controls how the tap tempo input is used within the GS1000. When set to “Global”, all presets are effected by a tap tempo input, when set to “Preset” every individual preset can have its own tap tempo input. You can also click the “Metronome” icon in Edit View to access the same settings. (See BPM tempo)
65
BANK SWITCH MODE Use this option to select between two Bank switching modes: Directly Roll means that when you press Bank down (A+B) or Bank up (C+D), the bank will change directly one down or up. Pressing one of the A/B/C/D footswitches will then open the preset in this newly selected bank.
Current Bank means that when you press Bank down (A+B) or Bank up (C+D), the view will switch to the bank preview display without directly switching to any other bank, i.e. remaining in the current bank. You can then select another bank by stepping on A+B or C+D again.
PRIORITY MODE Use this setting to determine the active sub-mode when you access the CTRL mode by stepping on the footswitch for the active preset. When set to SubPatch, the SUBPATCH mode will be active upon activation of the CTRL mode, when set to Stompbox, the STOMPBOX mode will be active.
Note that this setting is linked to the Priority Mode setting in the CTRL view. (See CTRL mode).
VOLUME PEDAL POSITION Use this setting to determine the position of the volume pedal (external expression pedal used as volume pedal) with respect to the effects chain within the GS1000.
When set to Pre, the volume pedal will be placed at the very front of the effects chain. Using this setting can maximize the preservation of the trails of some of your effect like delay and reverb in scenarios where the volume pedal is used.
When set to Post, the volume pedal will be placed at the very end of the effects chain. Using this setting, the volume pedal will act as a master volume and the signal can be completely muted with the pedal moved to its minimum value. The default for this setting option is Post.
MIDI
See MIDI CONFIGURATION.
Bluetooth
Turn Bluetooth on/off in order to use the GS1000 with the Mooer GE Cloud App or to play audio from a mobile device through the GS1000. See BLUETOOTH AUDIO.

Spill-Over (Effect Trails)
The GS1000 supports the trail hold function for delay and reverb effects. Under some conditions, the natural decay of delay repeats or reverb echoes can be maintained when a corresponding module in is toggled on/off within a preset or when a different preset is activated:
66
Trails when modules are switched ON/OFF within a preset: This type of ON/OFF switching while playing is usually accomplished using the CTRL mode or a MIDI command from an external controller (see CTRL Mode or MIDI.)
Open the parameter editing interface of the delay or reverb module in the preset.
Find the “Trail” parameter and activate it.
Trails when switching presets: This type of switching is accomplished by using the A, B, C or D footswitches or external MIDI commands to change presets.
Find SPILL-OVER in the GLOBAL SETTINGS and activate it.
Copy a target preset and save it to the position you want to switch to. In the new preset position, you can change the module switching status, or adjust different
parameter settings according to the sound requirements. After completing these settings, you can switch between these two presets and maintain the
natural decay of the delay and reverb tails. Note: The trails feature does not support switching between two different effect chains or selecting different delay and reverb effect models.
Language Selection
The GS1000 supports menus in Chinese and in English.
