Patch
a.k.a. a preset / a tone
A patch is one complete saved tone: amp, cab, effect blocks and all their settings. On MOOER, a preset is called a patch, and it exports as a single preset file to your computer.
Everything you need to export presets from every MOOER device. Learn exactly how patches, MOOER Studio, the MOOER Cloud app and backup files work, so you can export your tones, back them up, import them, and get every preset ready to share or sell.
Before you export anything, it helps to know how MOOER organizes your tones. These few ideas cover every MOOER device, from the classic GE250 to the intelligent GS1000.
A patch is one complete saved tone: amp, cab, effect blocks and all their settings. On MOOER, a preset is called a patch, and it exports as a single preset file to your computer.
A backup file is a full snapshot of every patch on your unit, saved in one file. The Backup function creates it, and Recall restores it back to your device.
Tone Capture and MNRS files are MOOER sampled amps and pedals, and IRs are the cab files. They live in sampling slots and can be shared on MOOER Cloud.
The free desktop editor for the classic GE series that imports and exports patches over USB.
The app for the new intelligent series that manages and shares presets over Bluetooth and the cloud.
Patches are tied to their model. A GE300 patch will not load on a GE250 or a GE200.
Exporting presets from a MOOER takes just a few things. Get these ready first and the how to below becomes a two minute job.
A classic GE300, GE250, GE200, GE150 or PREAMP LIVE, or an intelligent GS1000, GE1000 or GE200 Pro. Every model can export presets.
MOOER Studio, the desktop editor for your exact classic model, or the MOOER Cloud app for the new intelligent series. Get both only from the official MOOER site.
A USB cable to your computer for MOOER Studio, or a Bluetooth connection to your phone for the MOOER Cloud app.
Match the editor to your firmware, and always back up your presets first, because a firmware update can clear all your user patches.
Always get MOOER Studio, the MOOER Cloud app, firmware and manuals straight from MOOER, under Support then Downloads, never a third party mirror. Back up before every update, since updates can wipe your presets.
On the classic GE series, the reliable route is MOOER Studio over USB. It shows your patches and exports them as preset files. Here is what it looks like in the app.
Download MOOER Studio for your exact model from the official MOOER site, under Support then Downloads, then install it.
Connect your device with the USB cable, let it boot, then open MOOER Studio. Your patches appear in the preset list.
Click the patch you want in the preset list. The editor shows its effect chain and settings so you know exactly what you are saving.
Use Export to save the preset file to a backup folder. On the GE250, patches save in the .om format. That file is your exported preset.
For a GS1000, GE1000 or GE200 Pro, open the MOOER Cloud app over Bluetooth to manage presets and upload them to your account.
Bought a patch pack, or restoring a backup? Importing is the same idea in reverse: bring the file into the editor, drop it into an empty slot, then save it to your device.
Connect your device over USB and open the editor, the same way as when you export. For the intelligent series, open MOOER Cloud instead.
Use Import to bring the preset file into the editor from your computer. It lands in the software library, ready to place.
Drag the imported patch into an empty slot in the My Presets area, then click Save to write it onto your MOOER device.
If the patch uses a custom sample or cab, import the matching Tone Capture or IR file too, so the patch points at the right slot.
Patches are model specific. A preset made on one MOOER will not load on another, so a GE300 patch cannot run on a GE250 or a GE200. Keep each device's files in separate folders. And always back up before a firmware update, because updates can clear your user patches.
MOOER gives you three ways to keep your tones safe. Pick whichever fits your setup, and always back up before a firmware update.
Use the Backup function in MOOER Studio to save every patch in one file. On the GE250 this is a .mbf file. Restore it later with Recall.
Export individual patches to your computer as preset files. Perfect for keeping, sharing or selling the exact tones you care about most.
On the intelligent series, upload presets and samples to MOOER Cloud for cloud backup and sharing with the whole community.
The export steps above apply across the MOOER lineup, but each unit has its own software and quirks. Find your gear below.
Export patches, LOOPER files and IRs in MOOER Studio. Fifty Tone Capture slots let you sample and export your own amps.
Patches export as .om files and a full backup saves as a .mbf file, both through the MOOER Studio editor.
Connect over USB and use MOOER Studio to export presets and run a full device backup before any firmware update.
Each has its own MOOER Studio editor. Export presets over USB and keep a backup for safe firmware updates.
Manage presets over USB or the MOOER Cloud app. 120 sampling slots upload and download straight from the cloud.
Part of the intelligent series. Use the MOOER Cloud app over Bluetooth to manage, upload and download presets.
These connect to MOOER Cloud for preset management and community sharing, with sampling and IR support.
If your unit has a MOOER Studio editor or works with MOOER Cloud, the export steps above apply.
A firmware update can wipe your user patches. Run a full Backup and export your presets before you update.
Patches are model specific. Save each device's files in its own folder so you never mix a GE300 patch with a GE250.
If MOOER Studio warns of a version mismatch, update the firmware first so the editor and device agree.
A patch relies on its Tone Capture and IR files. When you share or move it, include the samples it uses.
