SONICAKE Bitcrusher Guitar Pedal Wave Crush Bitcrush Digital Bitcrusher Reducer Guitar Effects Pedal Synth Synthesizer LoFi True Bypass

just what i needed to improve my ampless sound. while the speaker sim in the tech21 flyrig is decent the impulse responses in the sonicake sonic ir sound more realistic. i kept both marshall irs that came in the sonic ir but got rid of the rest. i replaced them with a few free ones. all marshall/celestion with different mics. loading new irs in the sonic ir was pretty simple. and i like that it has the option for mic out or 1/4" out. i would recommend this to anyone considering using impulse responses in a pedalboard format. works great and takes up very little space on the pedalboard.

I’ve been playing bass in bands for 50 years and while I have a modest analog pedalboard, I’ve never seriously looked into the various amp/cab simulator pedals on the market that I might use to give me a variety of bass tones, simply because I have a life and don’t want to fall down some large rabbit hole, sitting in front of my desktop with a digital pedal attached, spending hours choosing and selecting from various amp/cab simulations and effects in order to put together a “tone” I might use for one song a night.Thus, when I came across the Sonicake IR, it seemed to be the answer to my quest for a simple device that would alter my tone when I needed it. The directions to operate were straightforward and although it only had room for 11 cab simulations, you apparently had the ability to save those tones on your computer and download your own tones to it. The device even had its own website where you could download the original 11 tones to your PC if you wished to replace, but keep, all the original tones, and where you could find an IR file converter for use when you wanted to download your own bass IRs into the unit.The unit is simply-constructed. It has an aluminum shell, a volume control, a plastic dial that is used to switch among the 11 IRs preloaded onto it, an input an output and even a XLR output, something I’d never seen in a unit so small. It runs off my 1Spot power supply and has a USB port to enable you to connect to your PC to download your own IRs into it.The included IRs, even the ones for a guitar, are all useful to a bass player. I’m not going to critique each of the 11 tones, but I could’ve made them work, with some adjustments to the EQ section of my preamp pedal (an Electro-Harmonix Battalion, that I’m quite happy with).Sounds pretty good, right? Unfortunately, I have to give the unit a thumbs-down for the following reasons:First, it doesn’t have an on-off switch. Once you plug it into your pedalboard, it’s on all the time. That doesn’t work for me. I might want a deep tone for a particular tune, then turn off the pedal. You can’t do that with this unit, so that’s the major deal-killer for me.Second, the Sonicake website where you can find the original IRs in the unit and the IR file converter aren’t secure. I’d get messages popping up on my screen from my malware detector that the site couldn’t be trusted. I don’t know about you, but I’m not too eager to have some foreign website possibly insert some malicious code into my desktop. Again, that’s a big no-no for me.Third is the convenience factor. It’s just a $59 unit, so you get what you pay for, but my old, lazy butt doesn’t want to be bending over, changing a dial and simultaneously trying to remember what IR was in what slot. There are other IR units out there that have a small screen that will show you the IR in a particular slot. Those units cost more, but if you’re into the IR movement, I believe the extra cost is worth it.In conclusion, if you want this unit to piddle around with at home, or if you’re a beginner just getting into music and money is tight, you might want to consider this device for limited practice/learning purposes. However, if you’re a professional musician (and if you get paid for your services, you’re a pro, no matter how small the venue), this is not the unit for you. Also, if you want to keep your desktop/laptop virus-free, I’d be extremely hesitant to download anything from the Sonicake site.So, I can’t recommend it. As noted above, there’s other models on the market that do more. You’ll pay more, but it should be worth it.

Cons first-I did not see any mention of using the IR file converter and had to do some digging cuz my actual IRs were too big and when I trimmed them, they were not registering. You can find the IR file converter on the sonicake website with this pedal.-i worry about the future of the IR file converter. It's an html page that's also available offline. What happens when it loses support? Will we no longer be able to load IRs?-remember you need the 9v plugged in if you want to load custom IRs.Pros:-the IRs that came with it sound pretty good. My faves are the Vox 212 and the Marshall 1960.-I loaded 3 custom IRs and AB'd them with a direct signal going into my DAW with the same IRs before they were put through the file converter. No discernable difference or loss in audio quality. Great pro.-the fact that you can remove a file for a bypass signal makes it perfect for studio use. I can record my pedals direct without having to swap out my sonicake IR pedal and use a DI box.This is prob one of the most useful pedals I've bought. Worth the money especially if you're planning on going amp less.

I've tried multiple dual delay + reverb pedals one of which cost at least 4x this pedal but none that sounds as good.

This thing is very usable multiple reverbs and delays very nice for the price range!!! Does the job for me well used for studio recording and jamming. I would recommend this product if ambience is what you want go sonic!⚡️

I was looking for a cheap fuzz, and the Sonicake Fazy Cream is not only one of the cheapest fuzz pedals out there, it also has a lot of good reviews here and elsewhere. There are several good YouTube video reviews of this pedal as well. I ordered it, and I wasn’t disappointed. It has a good range of fuzz sound a la the classic Big Muff, but it won’t go out of control like an early Muff. It’s excellent for classic tunes like Satisfaction, a lot of Hendrix, and no doubt a lot of contemporary music.

Muy parecido al original. Distorsión muy distinta a las convencionales con un toque de fuzz. Lo recomiendo

Cumple muy bien la función ABY. Todas las comparaciones q hice me resultaron muy utiles para descubrir sutilezas entre mis guitarras, como: diferencias d tono, volumen y timbre (en gtrs huevas). Recomiendo usarlo con un buffer para mantener el nivel original del instrumento

Le boîtier reçu buzz. Une fois dans la chaîne d’effet et avec une vraie bonne alimentation (voodoo lab) le boîtier envoi du bruit partout. Rien qu’en le touchant avec la main le bruit varie. Il doit être mal isolé …. Je déconseille pour un usage pro/semi pro !

I bought this device to split my bass guitar signal to 2 places. I simply plug my bass cable into the Y side and then A goes to my amp and B goes to my computer. Now I can play into my computer and hear from my amp at the same time. You can also use this to go into 2 amps and have different sound settings. Cheap and easy little pedal that does the job well. Good solution!

Me encanta el acabado que tiene se ve muy elegante y el tamaño es perfecto para la colección de la pedalboard, su sonido es impresionante la perilla de tono me permite jugar para lograr un sonido buscado y tener la sensación de los años 60s 70s que todos quieren en un pedal de fuzz
