The versatile bedroom amp for guitarists

Featuring countless amplifier models and an equally large selection of effects, the Mooer Hornet 05i Modeling Amp Purple offers a versatile guitar sound that is ideal for home use. Featuring a 2" speaker and 5W class D amplifier, this compact powerhouse delivers a sound palette that ranges in intensity from soft and mellow to hard and gritty tones, and can also be played unplugged for up to five hours courtesy of its integrated battery. While the controls on the housing of the Hornet 05i are minimal in number, the iAmp app, which is available for iOS and Android, unlocks a whole world of sonic possibilities, allowing users to access all sound processing options, the integrated looper and drum machine, and even downloadable sounds from the Mooer cloud. The amp also includes a USB-C port, making it easy to record directly to a computer while simultaneously charging the integrated battery.

Full control with the iAmp app

The Mooer Hornet 05i boasts 52 amplifier models, which span a wide sound range, blending replicas of vintage amps with modern amplifier tones. From the clean, Classic Rock vibes of West Coast America to the punchy sounds of legendary British amps and the high-gain powerhouses of today, the Hornet 05i has all bases covered. Standard effects such as reverb, chorus, and delay are complemented by an additional range of special FX options including "Slow Gear", "LowFi", and "Stutter", sparking endless creativity. 40 memory slots provide ample space for storing custom patches, while the "Super Knob" function on the front panel enables the instant retrieval of up to four favourite personalised settings, even without the use of the app. All of these features are controlled via the iAmp app, which connects seamlessly to the Hornet 05i via Bluetooth 5.0.

Mooer Hornet 05i Modeling Amp Purple input and USB port

Compact sound powerhouse

Weighing in at just over 500 grams, the compact Mooer Hornet 05i Modeling Amp Purple is easily accommodated in the smallest of spaces and can be conveniently packed in hand luggage or a rucksack for travel. The 52 amp simulations, powered by Mooer's MNRS technology, deliver a versatile sound that can be further enhanced with key effects, creating a highly dynamic playing experience. Additional tools, such as the looper and drum machine, are easily incorporated into playing sessions, while the USB-C port enables seamless sound recordings from the compact powerhouse, produced in shimmering purple, directly to a computer. Guitarists who prefer to keep their hands on the instrument and their focus on the music can also switch presets wirelessly by foot using the optional Mooer GTRS Wireless Footswitch GWF4.

About Mooer

Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.

Ideal for spontaneous sessions

While a guitar amp with a 2" speaker may not be the first choice for a rehearsal room or stage setting, the Hornet 05i Modeling Amp proves an incredibly practical companion for occasional sessions, pre-gig warmups, or for capturing and recording new ideas the second they come to mind, delivering reliable sound whatever the location. The intuitive iAmp app interface offers extensive options for fine-tuning the compact amp down to the very last detail, while the amp's built-in battery enables long hours of playing time away from a power outlet for guitarists on the go.

No headphone jack!

StefanVe 08.06.2024

It sounds great, no doubt about that, and with the wireless footswitch it becomes a very practical combo. But a practice amp without a headphone jack?

One should not assume, I know, but I did assume there would be a headphone jack because... it's a practice amp!

The quality seems okay, but the only knob feel cheap and considering it is a push + turn + on/off (0 is off), it does not give me confidence it will last a lifetime. The software is pretty standard, reasonable but not great.

If it have had a headphone jack I would have kept it, but instead it is a return. I have tried google to see if headphones can be connected via an USB dongle, but I find no mentions of it. Pity.

Vraiment pas mal

Thierrydu972 01.01.2024

Son pas parfait mais reste assez fidèle et équilibré. Il reste très impressionnant pour sa catégorie et son prix. La qualité de fabrication est top et a l'air solide.
J'ai aussi pris le switcher GFW4 et tout est simple à installer et d'utilisation, le kit parfait.
Je recommande sans hésiter .

Bomba!

Riccardo ONELEGMAN Sassi 16.03.2024

PRO:
- Volume. Tanto volume, senza arrivare mai a clippare. E qualità dei suoni eccezionale per le sue dimensioni.
- Tantissimi ampli ed effetti da usare e salvare nei suoi 4 preset attraverso l'app dall'uso semplice ed intuitivo.
- Lunga durata delle batterie.

CONTRO:
- Difficile se non impossibile connettersi all'app via bluetooth al primo colpo. Una volta connessi però il link rimane stabile. Impossibile poi disattivare il bluetooth stesso dall'ampli per risparmiare energia.
- Mancanza di uscita per cuffie o collegamento ad auricolari bluetooth.
- Funzione di accordatore raggiungibile solo tramite l'app. Poteva essere tranquillamente messa al posto del bypass (a mio parere inutile) raggiungibile con la sola pressione prolungata del pot.

CONCLUSIONI:
Avevo preso questo mini-ampli per portarlo sempre con me e riscaldarmi prima dei live sperando di riuscire facilmente a bypassare la mancanza delle cuffie attraverso la sua porta USB.
Questa mancanza unita alle dimensioni non proprio piccolissime lo hanno fatto diventare il mio nuovo ampli da salotto e ne sono FELICISSIMO. Suona da paura e una volta settati i miei preset preferiti ha mandato in pensione il vecchio Fender Mustang II che usavo prima al suo posto.
