The MOOER PRIME P1 is an intelligent pedal designed to streamline a musician's practice and performance setup by eliminating the need for a bulky power supply and complex user interfaces. This compact device allows users to quickly set up their effects chain and jump into their musical sessions.
At its core, the PRIME P1 leverages MOOER's proprietary MNRS technology, which enables it to deliver high-quality digital amp models and effects within a small form factor. This technology ensures that despite its compact size, the pedal can produce rich and diverse tonal possibilities, catering to a wide range of musical styles and preferences.
One of the key usage features of the PRIME P1 is its support for USB-OTG (On-The-Go). This functionality allows for direct live streaming and quick video recording, making it an ideal tool for content creators and musicians who want to share their performances or practice sessions online without additional complex equipment. The device can connect directly to a smartphone or tablet for these recording purposes, simplifying the workflow significantly.
The PRIME P1 is designed to be highly customizable and expandable through its dedicated mobile application. Users can download the free mobile app to their smartphone or tablet, which provides an intuitive platform for editing tones. This app also facilitates sharing custom tones with other users within the MOOER community, fostering a collaborative environment. Furthermore, the app allows users to download various effects modules and tools, enabling them to expand their personal tonal palette and explore new sonic territories. The app also includes built-in tools such as a tuner, drum machine, metronome, and looper, enhancing its utility for practice and creative exploration.
For enhanced control during live performances or practice, the PRIME P1 supports MOOER F-series wireless footswitches, which are sold separately. These footswitches allow users to control multiple functions of the unit, including preset switching and operating the looper or drum machine. To use the wireless footswitch, it must first be paired with the PRIME P1 via the "Pedal Connection" section in the Prime App.
Bluetooth audio playback is another convenient feature of the PRIME P1. Users can connect their smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device to the pedal by selecting "Prime Audio" in their device's Bluetooth settings. Once paired, audio tracks can be played directly through the PRIME P1, providing a seamless way to practice along with backing tracks or jam with favorite songs.
The device features a control knob with an LED indicator that serves multiple purposes. Rotating the knob adjusts the volume level, with the brightness of the LED indicating the current volume. Pressing the knob allows users to switch between different preset patches. The LED changes color (Blue/Green/Yellow/Red) to indicate the currently selected preset (A/B/C/D), providing clear visual feedback.
The PRIME P1 is equipped with an input jack for instruments and an output jack for the main output, as well as a headphone output jack for private practice. The USB port serves a dual function: it is used for charging the device and for OTG (On-The-Go) connectivity.
In terms of maintenance and power, the PRIME P1 includes a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. When the battery level is low, the LED of the control knob blinks slowly to alert the user. The device can be charged using a smartphone adapter, power bank, or a USB port on a computer. During charging, a dedicated charging indicator LED turns red, and it turns green when charging is complete. It is important to use a USB-C to USB-A cable for charging.
The manual emphasizes several precautions for safe usage and maintenance. Users are advised to use a power supply that meets UL, CSA, VED, or CCC standards and adheres to the manufacturer's power requirements. It is crucial to unplug the power supply when the device is turned off or during a thunderstorm. The device, especially its battery, should not be exposed to excessive heat. In case of battery leakage, contact with the liquid should be avoided, and medical attention sought if contact occurs. The battery, if handled improperly, could pose a risk of fire or chemical burns.
For optimal performance and longevity, the PRIME P1 should not be exposed to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures or humidity, excessive dust or dirt, magnetic fields, or strong vibrations or shocks, as these conditions can lead to deformation, discoloration, or other serious damage. Cleaning the device should be done with a soft, dry cloth; if necessary, a slightly moistened cloth can be used. Abrasive cleansers, cleaning alcohol, or paint should not be used.
Overall, the MOOER PRIME P1 is a versatile and portable intelligent pedal designed for modern musicians seeking a compact, high-quality, and user-friendly solution for their practice and performance needs, with extensive customization and connectivity options.
