SONICAKE Acoustic Guitar Effects Pedal with Analog Preamp and Digital Reverb Acoustic Instruments with XLR Output - A Factory

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.

I had an expensive BOSS VE-8 Acoustic Singer that was a solid unit, but I simply wasn't using it enough for the price, so I sold it and replaced it with this much cheaper unit that focuses on being an acoustic preamp with some tone shaping capability. For its cost, this unit is built surprising well. It's not a particularly exciting piece of gear, but it does what it says. It boosts the signal of either low-output or passive acoustic guitar pickups, and allows you to make EQ adjustments to your signal. It also has a notch filter, which I don't fully understand, but basically is meant to dial out some of the unpleasant frequencies picked up by acoustic guitar pickups, such as string scraping. The unit is very solid, the knobs are firm and large enough to be easily adjusted, and I appreciate the XLR output for going directly to a PA speaker. Solid unit.

The build quality seems nice enough. It's a little bit large for what it is but definitely smaller than four petals and that's pretty much what this is. It's functionality is decent. Volume control and other adjustments are easy enough to figure out. In my opinion it doesn't do any of its functions over the top incredible but it does accurately paint the picture. Bought this for my son's bass pedal board but I think it will end up living on the drum kit as a flanger.

Did exactly what I needed it to for the money I was able to spend. Sturdy metal outside. Nice buttons. XLR output is a very welcome feature.

I can't find a single thing to complain about! The packaging was top-notch and gave me a good feeling about my purchase, even before opening the box. The controls are simple enough to not need any instructions, but clear instructions are included.This unit does what an on-board preamp and EQ does but, adds a gain and notch filter for feedback control in loud environments. I struggled to get any volume from my 100 watt acoustic amp with just the passive (no battery) pickup. For reference, I am using the Seymour Duncan Woody Humbucker in a Martin D-28. Once I plugged this into my power chain, I have headroom for days!I've used this for about a month now and it has performed flawlessly. Most acoustic guitar preamp pedals run into the hundreds of $'s. At ~$60 USD, this is a steal! Get one before they realize what they have and the price goes up!

Love the sound it gave my set up . I was cutting through the bass and the drums and the rhythm guitar so good. My volume was set low and still sounded very good. One of the slider broke on that first gig. Must be a bad / damaged product. Sent it back for refund and ordered a new one again because i love how i was able to finally mix wellwith the whole band. Will see if this one will break again. 2.5 stars for now

I've been playing rock for sixty plus years. (One now said to be a "classic" record back in `65) My common gear chain is still from that time period and thus leans towards simplicity.-A P90 or medium gain, PAF voiced, HB equipped guitar, a tube amp driven hard, some reverb and a touch of slap-back echo. -That's usually it. And finding a good sounding reverb and echo pedal in one -- especially at this price -- was a true joy. And there the emphasis is on "GOOD SOUNDING." For that is what Sonicake Delay Reverb certainly is.Nicely built, too. Solid feeling. All the controls are clearly marked and do just what one expects of them. Basically plug and play if one is familiar with these two effects as classically used.Currently I have the pedal running into a Champ type amp. Sounds great! Just what I was looking for, and a what can only be considered a true bargain price.Highly recommended!

Wow, what a great sound. And good value. Easy to dial in. Good built quality. Thank you Sonicake for building a good sounding pedal at an affordable price.
