Still got the blues amp settings — Mooer GE150

The Gary Moore guitar tone for “Still got the blues”, dialed in for a Mooer GE150 with a Tonapex 150L. Studio version, Still Got the Blues album (1990)

Original rig

1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard 'Greeny' (Peter Green's guitar with out-of-phase neck pickup), Marshall JTM45 prototype reissue head set nearly clean, Marshall The Guv'nor pedal as sole distortion source

Thick, vocal, singing lead tone with boosted midrange, smooth sustain, and creamy overdrive — quintessential British blues-rock

Signal chain

01GE150 internal distortion block — use 'UK 800' or 'Guv'nor' model if available, otherwise Marshall-voiced distortion

This is your primary gain source — the amp model stays clean, all saturation comes from this drive block. Max the mids for that vocal 'woman tone' character

02GE150 internal chorus block — Dimension-style or analog chorus

BYPASS for lead tones — engage only for the clean rhythm sections with very subtle width

Why these settings

The GE150's modeling lets you replicate the clean JTM45 + Guv'nor pedal architecture directly. Select a Plexi/JTM amp model and keep it clean (gain 3), then stack a Marshall-voiced drive block with mids maxed — this matches Moore's signal chain exactly. Your Tonapex humbuckers approximate the Les Paul output; rolling tone to 6 and volume to 8 softens the attack for that singing sustain.

PRO TIPMoore's secret weapon was Peter Green's Les Paul with its out-of-phase neck pickup — you can approximate this by slightly rolling back your tone knob and picking closer to the neck for that hollow, vocal midrange. Let notes bloom by picking lightly and using finger vibrato rather than aggressive attack.
