Great pedal,loads of effects my son loves it for his electric guitar. Solid piece of kit Great sounds.

Probably the best money I've spent on myself in a long time!I got one of these after being inspired to pick up my guitar again after over 10 years - I enjoyed playing but was never particularly good. This has just transformed the range of sounds I can get out of the equipment I have at home, and I enjoy practicing much much more as a result.Maybe the modulation could be a bit better, but generally the pedal has a wide range of FX which sound pretty good. The build it seems solid enough and it makes me sound way better than I am when I'm practicing - for the money I'm absolutely delighted.

If you've used similar units such as Nux MG300, you'll be familiar with what to expect, I won't go into major detail, plenty of recent good reviews online, but I know some are wondering how it compares to the Valeton GP100, especially as there are many similarities, the drum section screen for example is an identical image.Most of the features, if not all are identical too. So is it the same unit in a different chassis? Simple answer, no.Does it sound better than the GP100? Yes. For example the JCM800 is much fuller in body than the GP100, the latter's has more mids and treble, not quite on the nose or as valve like. Don't get me wrong, the GP100 is a great unit, but the Sonicake is about 10% to 20% better in tone.The PC editor is very similar, it feels like the same app, just laid out different. I actually prefer the GP100's PC interface where it favours graphical knobs over sliders on the Sonicake.The units display works pretty much the same, but maybe not as rich a layout.The overall design of the unit for me isn't as pleasant as the GP100, especially when it also comes in purple! But hey, it's just a box ;)But I'd rather have better tone over looks any day.The Sonicake is a great unit and easy to use, worth the money if you're looking for something different to a NUX MG300 for example, plus this is cheaper and has metal construction.

I bought this as a birthday present for a friend (a multi-effects newbie) and he is delighted with it.I already have an excellent Valeton GP100 (a very close relative from the same company) which I love. Although packaged slightly differently, this is effectively a GP100 with a few tweaks.The most noticeable tweak is the very welcome upgrade to a USB C connector.The effects, tuner, looper and drum machine all seemed very similar to the GP100 (but I didn't have a lot of time for an in-depth compare). I did think that some of the factory pre-sets sounded a bit better, but I guess most people will customise their own sounds.I doubt there is a better value small multi-effects box on the market.

QME-50 SONICAKE Matribox Guitar Pedal Guitar Bass Amp Modeling IR Cabinets Simulation Multi-Effects:For the £88 I paid for this pedal, it's fairly good value, but there are many issues. There's a plethora of amp sims included, but most of them are terrible, many having no volume and or lacking treble, no matter how you tweak them. It's very difficult to taylor the sound you want AND at a suiable level for recording, because one module can overload the next module in the chain, causing loud clipping noises if you aren't extremely careful, which is time consuming and difficult. More often than not, I can't get a decent signal level out of the unit; more often than not; it's too quiet - especially with many of the amp sims. Another annoyance is that you can't change the order of the patches eaily, like you can with Zoom software, which lets you reorder patches by dragging. The lettering under the knobs and switches is microscopic, so extremely hard to read. The stock patches are mostly badly configured, and vary in volume massively. Another problem is that the software constatle keeps losing connection with the device. The pedal feels sturdy, even though the casing is plastic. The tuner is reasonably functional, though not the best. I like the dual 1/4" outputs.

It does everything I want and a lot more, amazingly good value for money! Presets are a bit to strong in reverb and delay, but that’s easily fixed.

This unit put such a big smile on my face. There are some truly great patches amongst the 99 presets and also a fair few crazy (you gotta hear this) one's too.The drums really help instead of using a metronome and 90s of looping is more than enough for my practice needs.Creating new patches is relatively easy and you can also assign effects to the left and right stomp switches so it's definitely gig friendly.For less than £100 you can't go wrong.

I'm new to this sort of stuff so no expert at all but I love it and it makes loads of different sounds and effects
