On November 3, 2026, Thomann had 112 guitar multi-effects units in our ranking. Line 6, Boss and Zoom had 27 of them. Our ranking weighs how much each unit is bought and sold on the used market at Reverb, how widely Thomann stocks it, its price, its specs and its maker.
| Brand | Units | Price range | Median | In our top 10 | Best placed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Line 6 | 11 | $122 to $2,579 | $627 | 3 | #6, HX Stomp and Pod Express |
| Boss | 8 | $201 to $1,042 | $391 | 1 | #2, GT-1000 |
| Zoom | 8 | $70 to $470 | $111 | 0 | #24, MS-200D+ |
Line 6: the widest range, and the Helix family
Line 6 HX Stomp, $667
The Helix sound in a three-switch pedal: more than 300 amps, cabs and effects from Helix and older Line 6 units, eight blocks at once, impulse response loading and a built-in audio interface. #9 of 112 guitar multi effects.
Line 6 covers every price. The Pod Express at $167 shares sixth place with the HX Stomp: seven amps and 17 effects in a pedal-sized box that also works as a USB interface. The HX One single-effect pedal is tenth at $279. At the top, the new Helix Stadium floor units cost $1,793 and $2,579. Line 6 prices have barely moved since August: one cut, on the Pod Express, from €159 to €149.
Boss: one at the top, the rest in the middle
Boss GT-1000, $1,034
Boss's flagship floor unit, with a 32-bit, 96 kHz engine and AIRD amp modelling. It is number two in our ranking, which is unusual for a unit over $1,000 and comes from strong demand on the used market. #3 of 112 guitar multi effects.
The rest of the Boss range sits between $201 and $590: the IR-2 amp-and-cab pedal at #12, the GX-100 floor unit with 23 amp types and a touch screen also at #12. Boss hasn't changed a single multi-effects price since August.
Zoom: cheapest, and getting cheaper
Zoom MS-200D+, $55
200 overdrives, distortions and fuzzes in one stompbox, two at a time, for $70. #19 of 112 guitar multi effects.
Zoom's median unit costs $111, far below the others, and it cut the most since August: five of its eight units got cheaper, the MS-200D+ from €69 to €62, the MS-80IR+ from €109 to €97. Zoom's newest unit, the Neurig with neural amp models at $391, arrived in October and is too new for used-market data.
And the number one: Mooer
Mooer GE150 Max Li, $255
A $257 unit with 55 amp models, 170 effects, support for NAM amp captures, a drum machine, an 80-second looper and a built-in battery. It is number one of 112 in our ranking, ahead of the GT-1000. #1 of 112 guitar multi effects.
The Chinese brands have caught up on features at low prices. Mooer has three units in the top ten, as many as Line 6.
Which one?
- Under $150, for practice and a few sounds: Zoom's MS series or Line 6's Pod Express.
- $250 to $700, for a pedalboard: the HX Stomp if you want Helix sounds in a small box, the GX-100 if you want a screen and an expression pedal built in, or the Mooer if battery power matters.
- Over $1,000, for a full rig: the GT-1000 or a Helix, depending on which modelling you prefer.
Line 6 and Boss hold their prices. If you have been waiting for a Line 6 or a Boss to drop for Black Friday, our records give no sign of it yet.
Where the numbers come from. Every guitar multi-effects unit Thomann had in stock on November 3, 2026, from its partner feed, without bundles. Places are from our ranking of guitar multi-effects, which counts each model once and lets tied models share a place. Used-market demand is the number of listings on Reverb for the matching model. Price changes are from our nightly records since August 17, 2026, in euros.
