Good value.
This is for the Sonicake Levitate. The reverb is, well a $50 reverb. It works well as long as you don't over do it with the reverb tails. At least for me the long tails sound a bit too bright and artificial but that's a subjective thing. The delay is a definite step up from the $20-$30 delays (probably based on the pt2399 chip). The delay does not go into oscillation at max feedback. The delayed signal degrades or is passed through a filter to give a vintage type sound. There is also a tap tempo feature which is a very cool capability. The best feature is that the delayed signal and dry signal have individual level controls. You can have the delayed signal as loud or louder than the original signal, or turn the dry signal all the way down and only hear the delayed signal. Overall well worth the $50. The reverb is good if not overdone. The delay is, well is there another delay with 2 second delay time at this price point? The pedal is well built and the pots feel like quality pots. Highly recommended for the quality to price ratio.

Great sounding pedal at a very nice price
Had this for over a year. It sounds great, does exactly as described. I was looking for a decent reverb unit--this popped up and included the delay function as well. It has done what I've needed without skipping a beat over the last 16 months.

Excellent Preamp/Drive pedal
This is a review of the Sonicake B-Factory Bass Preamp pedal. I've been looking for quite some time for an inexpensive pedal that I can use for recording and to replace my outdated Eleven Rack. This is the first pedal that I believe I could take to a gig or jam and plug into front of house. I've been using it since I got it plugged directly into a mixer, which goes to a pair of 12" FRFR amplified speakers. One thing, the switchable drive circuit only operates when the preamp is enabled. The drive circuit gives the bass just enough snarl so it doesn't disappear into a recording mix. For applications or recordings requiring a pure bass tone, the preamp definitely delivers. With my Precision Bass and the preamp, I can get tones that sound very close to an upright bass. This isn't set up to emulate multiple amps. Without the drive circuit, you get a very clean bass signal, reminiscent of the late 60's Bassman amp/cab rigs (not the older tweed model). With the drive engaged, it sounds more like an SVT. But you can probably find something you like with the tone combination and judicious use of the drive circuit. The only negative I've found with it is the output doesn't appear to adjustable enough to replace the preamp on a bass amp. I've hooked it up to my old Bassman 100 solid state amp through the power amp input, bypassing the amp's internal preamp and while the sound quality is excellent, it just doesn't have enough signal to fully drive the amplifier. It would be nice to have a switch so the 1/4" output could be changed from instrument level to line level. I'm very happy with this and highly recommend it to others.

Good pedal, I'm trying another of theirs as well now next
Very cool little pedal. I enjoy the tempo tap feature to get it sounding how I want on DAWless jams. I use it for synths but I am sure this thing would be great on the guitar. Not super small, not super large either. Just right. Works great for 4 effects you can tune further (tap tempo helps) Metal construction, seems durable. Easy to use, plug in proper cables.

My favorite delay reverb pedal so far !!!!
I've purchased a few pedals from sonicake and they definitely get the job done and very well ....I have hundreds of pedals from 15 dollar temu crap to 185 dollars made here in the USA good pedals....and sonicake are absolutely worth the budget friendly asking price.....this pedal makes me feel like I'm in outer space or something lol....I bought it specifically for the delay effect because I like having a few different type of delay pedals but to my surprise this pedal instantly became my new number 1 delay pedal in my ⛓️ chain...( It sounds clearer and more precise if you put this pedal into your effects loop on the back of your amplifier).....but it also has a reverb section as well so you can use both at the same time or one at a time ...if you use them both with a good single coil pickup dude fasten your seatbelt and hold on for the cosmic ride.....

Very nice EQ pedal
I love the EQ, it is very useful as an overall boost or cut, and for shaping the sound. If you know how to use an EQ, you'll like this pedal.

Great bass preamp buy
This preamp is the best value I’ve found at the price point. Really great sounding preamp. Sounds $200 or more item. Feels like it’s built well. Have only had for a week so can’t speak to long-term quality of the unit.

Decent unit with some unfortunate shortcomings
If you're running a bass into this with no additional effects, this unit can work quite well. After toying with it for a few days, though, the limitations became clear. With effects, it seemed like the preamp distorted pretty easily. The overdrive was nothing special. The EQ was adequate but disappointing in the end. It seems easier (and cheaper) to just buy compressor, drive and EQ pedals and run them into a DI.

please include the phaser sound to the description first.

Great pedal. Almost a classic. Nice modulated delay and a plate reverb. Has tap temporarily and trails.

This is a great sounding pedal. Very adjustable and easy to get the sounds you are looking for by combining the two effects. Either set reverb first and then delay or vice versa and you will get a sound you like. Very good for 80's rock sounds. I added a chorus and eq pedal in front of this one and you can get all the great classic rock sounds from that combination. Best value in a reverb and delay pedal I have ever found. Beats the reverb on my new, state of the art combo amp all day long. This one is a keeper for sure!

Es un pedal bastante económico y que me ha servido mucho, suena muy bien y lo estoy utilizando con un sintetizador bass station de novation. Es importante mencionar que no trae eliminador de corriente.
