Just ordered one, cant wait to test it myself

My go-to pedal when I'm too lazy to bring my full pedalboard, sounds so good and it's very compact and light. I like it!

I have one and love it! Never was a big fan of the fuzz on it, might have to mess with it more. It is quite a handy pedal! 😊👍

Good Video as always, .. the Sonic Cake Boom sounds good & is similar to a unit I have that I fly with 😉 sure seems like a worthy alternative ... dare I say

I run this and a tuner pedal through a small pa for band practice these days it sounds pretty similar to my ampeg but I do find the the fuzz +boost combo is not as satisfying as the scrambler over drive on my amp for more gainy tones. I noodle with the octave for fun sometimes but I don’t use it for many songs. This thing is sturdy as a tank and worth every penny - get them while they are cheap!

"Red Alert...Red Alert" :) Nice review as always guys! You should do a shoot out with the Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig 2 if hasn't been mentioned yet. Nice job! Brent, VT

Awesome demo. 😎 I personally like this multi-effects pedal. The preamp, fuzz, and boost/comp sounded phenomenal. Although I’m not really into the octave effect. It’s just not my kind of effect. However the boom avenue sounded amazing with chorus effects. That effect I wish was on the boom avenue, but that’s just my opinion. Other than that, I would totally pair this up with a chorus and flanger pedals.

Excellent demo! By the way... I like how you pronounce 'chassis'. Don't let those foreigners taunt you! :)

the dimensions on it are perfect for my weird guitar/bass hybrid rig

I have a Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig and this has some features that are bettter than that. The octave seems much better on here.

That riff chuck was playing at 8:32 🥹🥹

The Sonicake isn't a bad pedal set up at all, if you don't want to lug around a lot of gear just throw this thing in the gig bag and go. I got the Acoustic Wood and love it. The Cube Baby might be something you may want to check out as well.

Hey I think that any bass pedal should include a built in chorus, and reverb. I would like to see a bass pedal with Boost/Compressor>Reverb>Chorus>Preamp>Octaver. But as it has an effects loop its ok. I found on mine that the octaver does a weird modulation effect (like this guy shows in his demo). When onlt Oct1 is selected it jumps between the lower octave to one octave higher and back. 5his is not what an octaver should do. Other than that this is a great pedal. I add a chorus and reverb in the effects loop. Bass>Comp>Preamp>Chorus>Reverb>Amp/Pa.

Sorry if this is a dull question. With the Di out, can I run that into a XLR input on my focusrite interface or should I run it through a DI box first? Also, How have you found recording this from Jack out to jack in on your interface? Thanks again. Any help much appreciated.

Man, both the fuzz and the octave on this thing sound better than those in the 'inspiring original'. Weird that the octave is AFTER the fx loop, if it is, because you want your octaver to get the purest signal and to have things like modulation after it.

Only in the video. In reality and they sound very bad. I tried long notes on E and A string. The octaver can not resolve this notes. Listen here m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZtryc-OhJTfYto.html

@@wolframheldmaier727Not that unusual IME. I’ve played with both the EBS and Boss bass octave pedals and I avoid playing below the low A with both because of that issue.

After seeing so much praise for this pedal i decided to get one from eBay. It arrived faulty. It wouldn't power up. I got a full refund but I'm sad to say I'm not going to get another one. I'm going to need a much more reliable pedal if I'm going to use it at gigs.

Has anyone managed to source a case/sleeve/gigbag for one of these devices?

Not bad for $97. Wonder how this would stack up against the Zoom B1four?

The octave on mine stopped working after using it about five times

Unfortunately you cannot use it live. The differences in volume are to big. The compressor always increases the volume. The same for the fuzz. Octaver really sounds fine but the tracking is quite bad. Deep A is not well recognised.

I used it live for all of summer 2021 and my compressor is always on, except when I’m using the fuzz. Tbh just play with the volume levels and find “unity” for your particular rig. Took two minutes to dial in.

@@deviationblue okay. It works with comp always except for fuzz. I wanted to use the compressor as an effect with strong pumping and playing without compressor for the clean. And it does not work for this application. I had some more issues in sound quality. Like the octave is miles away from MXR bass deluxe. Beginners should better save their money until they can afford good quality that supports their playing. Buying cheap means buying twice.

@@wolframheldmaier727 idk bro, tbh nobody watches a bar band perform live for the tonal quality. I’d never record with this in a million years. The sound quality is far from amazing but it’s all in one chassis that fits in your gig bag, it’s built like a tank, and it costs less than $100. It served my needs just fine until I *could* afford to upgrade my board.

I don't use anything but the Sansamp-like preamp section and the DI out. It's great for this. I don't like the comp, it's working too hard for my liking.

Anybody know what the song is at 1:39?? :v

Someone know when he will relase Kill em' all Metallica álbum? 😊

CHa-see

FX loop placement before the octave suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Unless you want bad tracking for the octave and an octave down reverb...

Anybody know what the song is at 2:27?

@@Ralferator everybody can buy a car but if your design is to close to an original design you have legal problem Gebrauchsmusterschutz in german. If you develop a car and copy the BMW cooker shape or the porsche rounded Kotflügel it is a copy and it is stolen. Of course any other company can combine analog effects in one housing. But the sonicake is obviously no genuine idea but stolen from tech 21 because it is toooooo similar.
