SONICAKE Delay Reverb Pedal Sonic Ambience Multi Mode Tap Tempo Delay and Reverb Guitar Bass Effects Pedal

I'm loving this pedal. had to get this since my earlier Fuzz didn't work well with a buffer and I mistakenly thought that was a muff clone. This one also seems to be in the ball park but the 3 variations are quite distinct to my ears at least which makes it amazing. I was looking for John Frusciante's type of fuzz use and this one is right up there. J.F. really hoping it's a call out to him. Also looks good as well.

So far so good! It works exactly as advertised. No fuss, no noise, and perfect size.

So far it seems to be a great product, but with a few caveats. I bought 3 - 1 worked great, 1 had trouble, and 1 isn't working. But had I known a few things, I likely could have prevented this scenario... Hope these tips help!1.) I couldn't seem to transfer the new IR's to the device on my Mac running Sonoma OS. But I was able to do it on a Windows machine... but the next point may be why.2.) When I attached to a Windows PC, I quickly found the normal 44.1K 500ms IR .wav files were too large. I could only get three of those on the device. For some reason on my mac, I could only get 1, and after that a perpetual error code that the file couldn't be transferred (but not due to storage... weird).Windows at least showed there wasn't enough space on the drive. So, after searching Sonicake IR Loader and going to their website, I found where I could download the manual, then under that I could download the original IR's, then under that is a link called IR File Converter, and it says it requires Google Chrome to use.You can only convert one file at a time, but it worked flawlessly. Then I was able to load the files on to the device. So, maybe it would have worked on my mac if I had converted the files to a smaller file type? I went through enough frustration to give it a shot. It's working now, so I'm not going to mess with it anymore. :)3.) I bought 3 of these to use at our church. On the attempt to get it working on my mac, I reformatted. It's originally in a FAT12 file format. The reformat didn't seem to help. However, on another unit, the reformat locked up as the built-in storage is crazy slow. It corrupted the built-in storage, so I'll send that one back for an exchange.4.) Lastly, while the stock IR's are actually pretty sweet out of the box, I wanted to load some IR's that I've been using on my Line 6 HX Stomp XL. I dedicated one of these units to bass guitar, and two toward acoustic guitars. My favorite acoustic clone IR's have come from Worship Tutorials - the Taylor 414, and Holy Grail 2 guitars in particular. The bass guitar IR's came from Celestion and are bass cab/speaker profiles BN15-300x and Studio Nord Bremen Ampeg V4b Custom and Ampeg V4b Trace Elliot, and the Orange custom as well. I mention these since the bass and acoustic IR's are a bit harder to locate.But one caveat for acoustic IR's... acoustic IR's by default all come about -18db. I'm not sure why, but they do. So, the only way to use the acoustic IR's on this unit is to crank the volume all the way, and crank the gain on your PA around 20db +/-. But, it's totally worth it if you're plugging in direct to PA. And it bypasses the need for a DI box.I don't have any noise issues when I crank the volume and gain on these. Build quality is great. And the price can't be beat. Even though I had a lot of headache getting these setup, the end result and price point make it worth 4 stars. Now that I know how to work with them, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. But definitely follow some of these guidelines. The built-in memory is very small, very slow, very temperamental, and easily corrupted. But once it works, it's great!Hope the tips help. It's a super affordable way to have great tone!

I've owned many Klon style pedals: Tumnus, Archer, Conspiracy Theory, Klon kit pedal, etc. I am def. a fan of the Klon pedal. Anyhow, once I saw this was 3 Klons in one it was an insta-purchase. A no brainer! I have 7 Sonicake pedals. All great quality for the money.This thing sounds absolutely killer. I paired it with my USA Tele and used it as a boost to my Nobels ODR 2. Unreal tone. Anyhow, if you're a tone chaser this is really great bang for the buck. Time will tell as far as durability but these guys make really great stuff. I have had 0 issues with Sonicake. My two bits!

Owner of 70+ guitar pedals here-No BS, this fuzz doesn’t sound like a $30 fuzz. Money well spent.

Nice clean boost - 0db - 12db range is plenty! I keep the dial turned to about +3db, and leave the pedal at the end of my effects chain (with the buffer turned on). For solos, or other times when you want your sound to cut through, the pedal gives an overall volume boost to the signal without coloring it.The buffer can be turned on and off, as needed, depending on where in the effects chain it is placed.Also, depending on where it's placed, the effect can increase gain being introduced to a pedal or preamp, thus allowing for the amp to be naturally overdriven. To achieve this, place the pedal in front of your distortion/gain pedal. Triggering it will instantly add a distortion boost, giving you another (dirtier) tone that will be "hotter" than your natural guitar tone. Placed after the distortion pedal, you get a volume boost only.

I am new to the IR world. I really have no interest in trying to load IR’s and there is no documentation on how to do this. It seems the people who know how to install and edit IR’s would not be buying an entry level unit like this.That said, I just needed a basic speaker cabinet simulator for church worship service. I usually plug in through an amp at home, but the church we attend has a “silent stage”. I needed inexpensive, and this seemed to be worth a shot.The first time I used used it, I plugged it into a standard 100ma slot on my power supply. It sounded awful. Later, I checked the documentation and saw it requires 200ma. I changed slots on my power supply and it sounded better. I found 2 cab sims, 4 & 7, seem to work okay.I played at church with it, straight out of my pedal board to the cabinet simulator, to a LoZ cable to the board. It seemed to work okay, but I really didn’t hear it through the mains.After looking at high end IR units, it seems they also use a preamp before the simulator, seemingly making it sound more like it’s going through an amplifier first… I don’t have one.I tried a couple pedals I have at home. First I tried an MXR Micro Amp between the out of the pedal board and the input of the Cab Sim. That didn’t seem to help much….What did work?… to my surprise, a BYO optical compressor pedal I bought for $30 and built myself. That, with the sustain turned down low and the level set to unity helped smooth out the overdrive sounds, but still left the clean tones fairly bright. Not quite amp like, but usable.Yes there is a noticeable slight lag when listen to what you’re playing, but it’s minimal.If you just need something inexpensive and you are not expecting premium quality results, this could work, but you may need to do a little work too.
