SONICAKE Pocket Master Guitar and Bass Amplifier with Amplifier Modelling, IR Cabinet Simulation, Multi-Effects with USB OTG Stereo Audio Interface, BT Audio, Color LCD Display

We truly are lucky to live in these times where gear this cheap can sound so massive. I bought it as I have come to admit that I have an unhealthy obsession with miniature music gear (tiny synths, guitar pedals, etc) that does big things and this did not disappoint! Very nicely built too (it's plastic and isn't a pedal so be careful), and the smaller NN version of the NAM profiles it can load still sound great! Is it going to replace my Tonex pedal or my EVH amp? Unlikely for serious gig or recording, but I would absolutely rock it for a rehearsal that doesn't require me stomping on it.

Go to gadget for practice and smalls gigs

This is a fabulous multi-effect unit for the price. Fitting in your hand it is the perfect tool for practicing. The range of presets is ample and nearly all of them are very useful . A wide variety of genres is catered for and a few of them are better than the presets on other, far more expensive, multi-effects pedals I own. You can also edit the presets and save your edits. Or make your own from scratch by adjusting a clean tone to your taste. It also has facilities that I am told are the latest in amp simulations. But that's beyond me as I am in the "Old Dog vs New Tricks" era of my life 😁 The only thing missing, for me, is an AUX input that would have allowed me to feed my backing tracks directly into the device without needing a PC. But if you connect it to a computer you can use that as your AUX input. That's what I do when I improvise to backing tracks on YouTube.

Small but lots to do

Wrong version sent. Ordered the transparent white, received the purple one. As it's for a special occasion, I don't have time to return it. Good product it seems, but I can only hope my kid won't be disappointed.

Love this wee device, sound is really good, with firmware update it does midi via the usb, battery life is great, small sound is good , NAM support and works with the free NAMs, presets are really good, and they are easily modified, works will with headphones too, so you could basically have this mounted on your belt with belt clip, a wee short cable to the guitar, and a pair of headphones. Does not come with a usb c cable, don't know why, but you need one for power or charging, or using as an audio interface. Can connect via Bluetooth to your phone, phone app is good, and you will need to use Bluetooth if wou want to use the full set of drums rather than just the metronomes. Also allows you to play along with music from phone and properly mixes it. The website has all the firmware updates, software, and drivers for Mac and windows, and the unit also can be used for recording to the pc in DAW or whatever you want. Not really played with the looper that much, but it works, it's only 10 seconds but it you can overdub and pause and restart easily enough. Phone app makes life so much easier when using this. Hold all three buttons to put into firmware update mode of for copying NAM files, can hold 5 NAMs at a time. Loads of good videos on YouTube for demos, and reviews, the best 40 quid I've spent on my guitar for a while, might buy some more for gifts for other people. Buttons are nice and solid so you could use your feet, and belt clip is detachable so you don't scratch wooden flooring. Strong, well made, long battery life, great device.

Pour le prix auquel il est, c'est tout simplement étonnant d'avoir autant de fonctionnalités. Je cherchais à la base une pédale de préampli avec une prise casque pour pouvoir jouer dans être tributaire d'un ampli volumineux et pas très convaincant à faible volume. Le tout à prix très contenu évidemment. Mission largement accomplie pour le pocket master, qui fait en plus multi effets, accordeur, looper et interface audio pour le brancher à un DAW par exemple. C'est inespéré à ce prix. Tout est parfait vu l'utilisation que j'en ai, à tel point que je suis passé de 8 pédales à... Deux ! Il fonctionne aussi sur batterie. Parmi les multiples effets et amplifications disponibles, il accepte aussi les profils NAM avec toutefois une légère dégradation du son, mais ça reste tout à fait jouable et pour le prix, rien à redire. Seul reproche lié à l'utilisation que j'en ai : deux reverbs parmi celles proposées ne sont pas vraiment exploitables, elles se contentent de produire un sorte de souffle pas très convaincant. Mais pour le reste, c'est totalement une bonne affaire vu le prix, il m'est vite devenu indispensable.
