## Description

SONICAKE Acoustic Multi Effects Pedal Preamp Chorus Delay Reverb Acoustic Guitar Effect Pedal with XLR Output Sonic Wood : desertcart.co.uk: Musical Instruments & DJ

Review: A pedal board in your pocket! - I bought this on the strength of two things: the reviews here and elsewhere (there's a great one on YouTube) and getting tired of fiddling about with multiple effects pedals, power supplies, cables etc even for the smallest and simplest gig or rehearsal. I've had this a couple of days now and am hugely impressed. Firstly, it is physically robust. The case is metal and the foot switches are smooth. The power supply has a sensible length of cable (about three metres) - it is a 9v, centre-negative plug, so you *could* add this easily onto a larger pedal board if you wanted to add it to an existing set up. It is just over 10 inches long and just under 2.5 inches wide. All the inputs/ouputs are on the back. There are four sections to the unit - Compression (comp), Overdrive (blues), Echo (slapback) and Reverb (Air). When reviewing this (or considering buying it), you have to remember that this is the 'Twiggy Blues' pedal. So if you are expecting to get tones out of it suitable for electro-pop, funk or heavy metal then it probably isn't suitable (although I think the same company make another more stadium rock version if that's your thing). But for straight ahead classic rock, country, rockabilly and even ambient this is perfect. The Compression section works well - you can even turn the compression itself right down and the volume up on this section to boost your signal for solos etc. It shows one of the features of this product. The sound it creates is quite warm, and doesn't have that nasty digital edge you sometimes hear. The Overdrive part is relatively subtle, when you compare it to the wildly distorted sounds produced by some overdrive pedals. That isn't a criticism (see above about playing heavy metal using it!) - it's perfect for blues and blues rock. It's easy to get a creditable Bad Company/Free tone - dial it right back and you are in Eric Clapton territory. The Echo section is adjustable so you can set the number of repeats. One creates an excellent rockabilly slapback, multiple creates a more spacey Hillage/Gilmour vibe, depending on the number of repeats, the delay duration you set (up to 500 milliseconds) and you can change the blend between the echo and the original signal. Reverb does what you'd expect - from very subtle, to 'playing in a huge ambient cave'. And again it keeps the warmth. There is also a cabinet sim switch, which you'd use if playing directly into a PA rather than through an actual guitar amp/cab. It does make a bit of tonal difference when playing through an amp/cab, but probably not enough to bother with. I haven't tried it through a PA system - I don't have one! Obviously I still have a lot a playing around to do (although it is - mercifully - a simple pedal to use) but am going to use it at the next rehearsal. I also tried it with two different ukuleles, both electric. One a piezo based model and the other with steel strings and magnetic pickups. It was just as good with those as with a guitar (despite not being intended for use with the ukulele!). Is it the only pedal you'll ever need? Quite possibly, but probably not. You will need a tuner (although I have recently switched to a Planet Waves headstock tuner, so one pedal less there!), maybe a wah pedal if that suits your style or perhaps a volume pedal if you are an ambient merchant - but for the majority of us, in the majority of gigging band situations it will do the job excellently for the musical styles it is aimed at. Oh - and did I mention it is only £70? Amazing value. Free standard non-Prime delivery took a very acceptable two and a half days from my late night order until a luchtime delivery.
Review: Bargain Acoustic Pedal - Great for the occasional live player.. - I have to say again, it's a bargain. Build Quality Well made metal casing, feels durable and will last. The buttons feel small to big hands, but work well enough. I have no concerns this will break anytime soon. It has a very useful XLR DI out, this seriously helps when plugging into a mixing desk. The PSU is include, which is nice. But, it's a bit flimsy, I've not got high hopes for that living a long life, but its a great addition to get you started. Sound For the price, it sounds much better than it should. I can hear it has digital undertows, but the effects all work well and are convincingly good. Changing settings is a bit fiddly, they are quite sensitive, but with a bit of tweaking you can get some pretty decent sounds from this humble pedal. It certainly will help you sound better at a open mic where you don't usually get much choice. Has built in tap tempo, but the awkward one where you have to press and hold switches. That said, for £60, pretty awesome if you have the patience to use it. Pre amp - calms down the tone of your guitar and makes it sound balanced, there is definitely some compression going on, it's reasonably subtle and doesn't add much volume. Chorus - This one stands out, it's full and surprisingly lush sounding. Only downside is it can be quickly overbearing if you push it. So I use it subtlety. Delay - Is an analogue type delay effect, does what it says on the tin. Reverb - Sounds like Hall to me, this really livens up the depth and range, esp good if you're a picker. Can be very dark if you push it.. I've used at home and in a live setting, I have to say I really like it. It's perfect for beginners and guitarists who occasionally record or play live acoustic shows. It definitely makes your guitar stand out and I've had some raised eyebrows when discussing it with my muso mates. I'm not sure the others in the range are quite as convincing, but the Sonicwood is a little bit of a diamond in the rough..

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this sound with an electric guitar?**
A: Softens the attack of the string and makes the tone last longer some sort of resonance that is on always. for that reason not recommended as an acoustic modeler.look some where else for an acoustic sounding electric guitar.

**Q: Is this supposed to light up when plugged in? Mine is not lighting up.**
A: Even when it is plugged up and powered correctly, it will not light up until you switch on/ engage the effect. It effect switch will light up when you step on the toggle.

**Q: I street perform and would like to use a battery to plug adapter to run this effect w my Crate Taxi . Is a 9 volt battery too much milliamps for this?**
A: No

**Q: Does this include ac adaptor or do I have to buy it separate?**
A: It already incl one 9V DC adapter, NO need buy it separate

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 29 January 2021*

There are all sorts of acoustic pickups both active and passive, I tried this unit on an acoustic with active pickups and a semi-acoustic with passive pickups. For the most part there was little difference other than setting the pre-amp controls , if the pre-amp is set flat on the tone controls at full volume it maintains the same volume as the signal going in, it is not a volume boost , it is a volume control that will keep the signal from clipping. The 2 tone controls will add volume in each of their ranges, basically complementing the sound of the standard 4 band active pickups being used today, giving a richer sound. The unit is a nice compact size with the switches at a comfortable distance to use , and all of the sections can be used simultaneously without taxing the power supply (included) or making the lights fllicker. The reverb effect is pretty simmple , one control , and goes from subtle to driving surf sound. The echo has a nice sound with typical feedback and intensity and speed controls, sounds nice on its own . The chorus I found absolutely amazing it had a richer fuller sound than I have found on most separate chorus pedals I found myself turning it on often because it sounded so good. I tried also with an electric guitar , the quality comes out there as well, and it sounds great with an off-board distortion unit too.
