SONICAKE Matribox - Guitar Multi Effects Processor with Expression Pedal, With 130 Built-in Guitar/Bass/Acoustic Effects, Amp Modeling, IR Cabinets Simulation, Stereo OTG USB Audio Interface QME-50

I love Amp modeling. I've not used my real Amp in over a year now. Ever since I discovered how cool Amp modeling is, I haven't gone back. My main pedal is a Pod Go. I love the Pod Go. I've bought a few other cheap pedals. One is just for Acoustic guitar and the other is a really small portable Amp modeler. I guess they're all portable. This one is pretty small but it's packed with cool sounds. With my Pod Go I erased all the factory presets and replaced them with patches that I purchased online. I obviously made up some of my own patches too but it's cool to just buy some and load them up. This pedal has some cool factory presets. I mainly bought it so when I'm jamming with my friends I have another pedal ready to go. I'm definitely going to use this next time and let my buddy use the Pod Go. I just got it today and planned on spending a few minutes learning the functions. I ended up learning a little but basically just jamming on the presets for a few hours. It definitely has some control options. I like that it has a built-in foot switch for volume or Wah. I'm really impressed with this little pedal. It's definitely worth what they're asking. I got mine on sale. I need to look into it more but I can tell it's a great pedal for my needs. I would absolutely use this in a live setting. I love that you can plug headphones into Amp modelers and have a really good guitar sound. I know tjere always going to be people that want to use amps but Amp modeling is just going to keep getting more popular IMO. So if you're new to it, definitely try this pedal. I don't think you will be disappointed. If you're unsure, watch YouTube videos. Thats what I did for my first pedal. It was the Pod Go. I wanted something affordable but professional. I think this pedal is definitely good for a live band setting also though.

For the price of one wah-pedal, this unit gives me a host of pedals and sounds, and it's compact and battery powered. It's sturdy enough to stomp on and easy to use. I'm happy with it. I have many others, Boss, DigiTech, Line 6, etc, big and small, so I can compare it to many of those. This has the most features in this price range. I wanted a small affordable one to take with me in a compact rig and this does everything and more for that task. It's really a fun and easy device to use and it sounds great. If you're not a gear snob who needs PRO labels, I think it will make most players happy. I am.

This little thing is killer! I mostly play at home with headphones and I like lots of different sounds. You can get some absolutely AMAZING tones out of this unit. The factory IRs that are on it sound great clean, but once you step up the gain to 80s hair metal and above, you should check out Ola Englund's free IR and load it to one of the user IR slots from your computer. It can do well with a powered speaker or an amp with a good effects loop. I don't recommend plugging it into the front of an amp (obviously with the cab sim OFF) as it has this high-mid frequency honk type sound thats hard to mix out of it on the amp. I haven't noticed this issue with a powered PA speaker or line direct to a mixer or even USB in. Overall, if you just goof around at home or need a little practice or small gig board without complex effect changes within songs, this thing is hard to beat. Toss it in a gig bag with a couple cables and you have yourself a usable minimalist rig with HUGE sounds. I don't recommend touring with it or playing shows with it wearing boots. If you're actually playing shows and touring, I'd go with the Valeton GP-200. This is definitely worth the money and I'd recommend this to anyone.

A good rock pedal, priced reasonably. I like weirder efx and this was somewhat limited, tho several fit the bill. Drum machine bordered on unusable. Not bad for the price.

Great for the price and adds up to 8 separate pedals and a bulky board.Im testing it out on the smallest,cheapest amp I have to see what it can do for a small carry along rig and it does a great job as Im not into pedals per say and let my amps and playing speak for themselves.However...it lacks in several areas if you want to gig with it especially a one man band gig.Great for practice and recording ideas and demos...Almost all the presets need tweaking and why there is not a bypass switch I will never know.Thats a definite killer for this unit.Pedals Must have a bypass for performing.An on/ off switch would be nice too so you dont have to unplug it every time.Stupid little crap.Sound generator is decent and you can get some great room filling full sounds.There is better out there but not for the price.Its usable and workable.Drum machine has no seperate volume that I have found so thats a problem for performing as well...practicing by yourself, its good enough again,for the price..Good news is there's a PDF user manual to download on the product page.Tweaking the presets is pretty easy with a little experimentation.All in all, if your on a low budget its great.If you can afford something better, by all all means get that instead.Actually, this is getting returned.
