SONICAKE Acoustic Multi Effects Pedal Preamp Chorus Delay Reverb Acoustic Guitar Effect Pedal with XLR Output Sonic Wood

Fucntions well and sounds good. Plus the price is very affordable.

Muy completo, suenan todos los efectos muy bien, además por ese precio no se puede pedir más! lo recomiendo.

Ich hab mir das Teil für meine Akustik und Konzertgitarre zugelegt. Absolut leichtes Handling und Top Sounds. Beim Reverb hätte ich mir mehr Einstellungen gewünscht...aber das wusste ich ja vorm Kauf schon. Vorm Kauf sollte man sich bei Youtube einige sehr informative Videos anschauen!Der Sonic Wood läuft über mein Mischpult FX und habe daher die Möglichkeit die Effekte mit denen am Mischpult zu mischen. Den Preamp benutze ich nicht, weil in beiden Gitarren Fishman Preamps verbaut sind und die sind einfach Klasse!! Für den kleinen Preis sehr gute Effekte und da rauscht auch nix...wenigstens bei mir!! Bin echt zufrieden mit dem Kauf und ich kann diese kleine SONICBAR für Akustikgitarren nur empfehlen!!

There are all sorts of acoustic pickups both active and passive, I tried this unit on an acoustic with active pickups and a semi-acoustic with passive pickups. For the most part there was little difference other than setting the pre-amp controls , if the pre-amp is set flat on the tone controls at full volume it maintains the same volume as the signal going in, it is not a volume boost , it is a volume control that will keep the signal from clipping. The 2 tone controls will add volume in each of their ranges, basically complementing the sound of the standard 4 band active pickups being used today, giving a richer sound. The unit is a nice compact size with the switches at a comfortable distance to use , and all of the sections can be used simultaneously without taxing the power supply (included) or making the lights fllicker. The reverb effect is pretty simmple , one control , and goes from subtle to driving surf sound. The echo has a nice sound with typical feedback and intensity and speed controls, sounds nice on its own . The chorus I found absolutely amazing it had a richer fuller sound than I have found on most separate chorus pedals I found myself turning it on often because it sounded so good. I tried also with an electric guitar , the quality comes out there as well, and it sounds great with an off-board distortion unit too.

The Sonicake Sonic Bar Sonic Wood is a compact acoustic multi effects pedal with a preamp, chorus, delay and reverb. There's a single 1/4" input, a 1/4" output and an XLR output. I play a lot of acoustic gigs and could use this and only add a looper and a tuner, though I have one built into most of my guitars.I did my best to make an amateur video so you can hear the pedal and see how it functions. I'd suggest you also watch the official video from Soncake. My guitars have built in preamps, so I wasn't able to really test the preamp. However, with the tone controls at noon and the volume up, it works great as a lead boost. I'm really picky about my chorus sound and this one made me happy. You can make it really warbly, but I like something way more subtle, yet noticeable. In addition, the chorus has a tap tempo feature that I demo in the video. If you're using the effect as something like a rotary speaker sim (it's a chorus, but doesn't sound like a univibe), you can go from slow to fast with the tap of your foot. The delay gives you blend (level), repeat (feedback) and time knobs. I think it sounds great and warm without altering your full range acoustic sound. It also has a tap tempo feature (shown in the video) which I always use to match the delay tempo to the song. The reverb is a one knob affair, but sounds good with a very usable range; from none to way too much that some ambient players might like. It also has a tail effect that I forgot to demo in my video. I would use it to keep the reverb low for normal play, then hit the tail switch to end with a BIG reverb. Pretty cool and not something I've seen in another pedal.As with all the Sonicake pedals I've tried, the chassis is strong metal, the knobs feel very smooth but won't move until you do it deliberately. The footswitches have a great feel and seem like they'll stand up to use. The input, output and xlr jacks are metal, not. cheap plastic. Overall it's really well made. Surprising for the price.Size-wise, it's way smaller than the Tech 21 acoustic rig or the Trace Transit A, but it does lack a tunerI should mention that this unit comes with a 9V, center negative, 500ma power supply. It's small, but the power cord is probably the longest I've seen. That can come in handy as it did during my video. If you only need a short cord, just use a tie to keep the cable neat and together.In summary, it's a hell of a pedal for $69!!! Now I want to try some of the electric multi effects!

This would be a nice pedal, but it produces a strange digital "blip" sound when I cover the guitar strings with my hand (so if I were to palm mute anything like that, it sounds awful). I have tried for several hours to fix it, but no bueno.
