When I first saw this pedal I thought it could be decent competition for my Poly Ample (which has 56 different Amp Types onboard), while it turns out that the Nux Amp Core Studio is more like that - with the below selection of 26 Amp Types : 

Jazz Clean, Deluxe Rvb, Bassmate, Tweedy, Twin Rvb, Hiwire, Cali Crunch, Class 15, Class 30, Plexi 100, Plexi 45, Brit 800, 1987 X50, SLO 100, Fireman HBE, Dual Rect, Die VH4, Vibro King, Budda, MR.Z.38, Super Rvb, Brit Blues, Match, Brit 200, Uber ...

I would like to start by saying that the best feature set doesn’t necessarily result in the best tones - while a more intuitive interface can be a major motivator for many. It seems like Valeton read my critique of the ToneX One and set about solving those challenges and recommendations that I set, which it seems to have done admirably with this GP-5 unit. I suggested for instance that the ToneX One would benefit from a small screen, and Bluetooth-App connectivity - which the Valeton GP-5 has!...

Mooer was due to be at the recent London Synth and Pedal Expo that I attended over the weekend, but ended up being a casualty of the Heathrow Substation Fire - the only pedal that got there in time was its GS1000 Intelligent Amp Profiling Processor and there was some kind of power supply issue with that - so it needed to be retired on the very first day!

I was hoping to see the GL100 Looper and this Prime M2 at the show - while alas neither of those pedals made it in the end! 

The Prime...

I was down for getting the original black ToneX One edition - one was offered to me, but never quite arrived. Which turns out I’m quite happy about in the end really as it was the much better looking Chrome Joe Satriani Edition that finally landed for me. So thanks to IK Multimedia for their assistance!

Considering I’m mostly a classic stompbox guy - then the ToneX One isn’t always going to be he most natural fit for me. While as a Multi-Gain / Versatile Multi-Drive and Distortion pedal - ...

As if the ToneX One wasn’t popular and appealing enough already - we now have an even more glorious Joe Satriani limited 3000 run Chrome edition - containing onboard a tonne of Joe’s own presets and sounds. Surely everyone is going to want one of these - you had better move quick! As of writing this the Joe Satriani ToneX hasn’t been listed at too many dealers yet - while you should order one as soon as it materialises - or you might miss out! I can see Andertons has this listed now - looks ...

So it’s fairly evident as to who Mooer is targeting here - with a kitchen-sink everything onboard approach for its flagship profiler / modeller. It comes in two versions - including an Li edition with onboard 7.4V 4750mAh rechargeable lithium battery - which lasts around 6 hours.

It uses the V2 version of Mooer’s MNRS technology (Mooer Non-Linear Response Sample) and it employs AI in various areas including the EQ-shaping. It also has 350+ Effects onboard, alongside a Groove Station Looper ...

So it seems like some of you did not like the original copper and blue tree of life aesthetic of the original. I rather quite liked it myself, but do concede that said design is somewhat busy, and can get in the way of the pedal legends to a degree.

To which ends KMA has released a 200 Limited Run of a more utilitarian all-black edition - with the simplest of  geometric outline graphics. Meaning you briefly now have a choice as to how your ENDGAME looks.

Everything else is the same - ...

There’s an incredibly rich mix here of no less than 38 killer Modulations, Utilities and Pitch-Shifters - no one does rundowns quite like me! I always dive in at the deep end of things - and give you maximum expansive scope!

There are several here that I don’t have yet, in fact some hat I’m somewhat unlikely to ever have - for reasons of rig compatibility, size and overall sensibilities, practicalities, and preferences!

These 19 are still to be acquired or eventually overlooked :

The ENDGAME Duality Calibrator - ultimate end-of-chain Stereo Tone Enhancer with True Stereo Double Tracking, Celestion IR’s and Power Amp Simulation was first announced during Winter NAMM - al the way back in January of this year. And ever since then, the KMA Machines team has been working hard to make this killer tone-enhancer pedal even better - in fact it’s a significant upgrade which has taken the best part of a year to program and evolve.

There are several updates - which I’ve ...
