Everything in the box, no more pedals, multi effects that I quickly get tired of, there is the pedalboard, but it's different, nothing outside, and it SOUNDS!!! The Mooer GTRS had trouble expressing itself on the Electro amp, it's not made for that, that's no longer the case, with a custom shop, it must be very powerful, I really have some reserve, on some amps I look for the watts, if you take into account everything in the box, the price is reasonable, even with the pedalboard
