SONICAKE Twiggy Blues Guitar Multi Effects Pedal With Cab Sim

Just before the review. I've been a professional for many many years. I'm a veteran of literally thousands of gigs and hundreds of recording hours. My current rig is Markbass, Musicman, Warwick, ESP and Ibanez Premium. I have a fully cased pedalboard but a hankering to travel light. Some of the reviews of this are unflattering and might lead me to question just how much experience the writers have with kit and the real world. From my perspective I was really bowled over. I expected a flyrig to sit in my case for rehearsals where there was a studio amp available, as a backup for short festival slots where I could just DI out and possibly for pit band work. I'm now looking at some of the pedals on my main board with fresh eyes just because of the quality coming from this TINY box. The compressor is really transparent and sounds natural, the boost is a useful option (P'raps for the above DI as an "always on" option?), but not needed. It knocks spots off the Ashdown dual band compressor that's in a cupboard somewhere. Fuzz on bass isn't really my thing, but at a pinch with the sustain backed right off it hits nasty overdrive well. One thing that it does do is to nail the old Big Muff sound. The preamp is a diamond. Again the DI gig would be happy with the tone-shaping which really does sound like an amp. On a more real-world situation it's great to be able to add a driven Ampeg sound on the songs that need it. One great thing is that both the fuzz and the preamp react really well to volume changes from the bass so cleaning up is always an option. I habitually run the bass on half volume to preserve dynamics later down the chain and a pristine to grind transformation is really easy to achieve which just adds versatility. The Octave section is, in my opinion, really good. It tracks down to the B on a five string without glitching. Turn up the direct, octaves on half and the compressor keeping things tidy and the tracking and sound is better than my OC3 (which cost double what the whole soundbar costs). Noise floor is very low unless you dime the drives, construction solid and just too cute for words. If I could suggest anything for the mark II it would be a 9v output to drive a pedal in the loop and some sort of tuner, especially since that's going to be the essential either in the loop or in the front end. But that is that. On the whole I'm more than delighted and am thinking of buying a second to sit on my main board and run the other pedals in the loop. Great bit of kit.

Like the pre amp sounded fantastic as did all the other effect. A chorus would be nice but the may make a model with this option. Highly recommended

Useful and compact pedal with several functions in the one unit. Has had a lot of use with no issues.

Stopped working after a month or so. Too late to return 🙄 NOT recommended!

I returned the Sansamp unit (too pricy for the quality) and bought this instead. It is very good value for money and has a better Octaver than the Sansamp unit. The preamp is just about Ok and the compressor is OK, plus it's easy to use for live playing.

Big, fat, loud, fuzzy. If you want your bass to just have MORE!!! then this will do it all for you. At a very reasonable price. And yes, I got 46 seconds of sustain out of it. On an active fretless.

Sounded really nice but I didn't try and set it up properly in my rig as the on/off toggle for the compressor section only worked intermittently. This made it useless for live stage use. I would have taken a replacement but Amazon didn't offer me one so I guess I'll shop around and see what else is out there. Update: After getting a refund I got a second unit to give it a go. Hey, maybe the faulty one was a one off? Well the second one has just packed up as well. No more Soincache for me. If I could drop to zero stars I would.

Prior issue resolved direct with Sonicake (rare for a seller to be so communicative - big plus) - I'm a bit in love with this pedal - a wide range of effects are possible and it feels solidly built. Also comes with a power supply!

This is a great multi-fx for bass. It’s not only well built but the preamp and three effects all sound great. If you are a bassist in the market for either a preamp or any of the three included effects, I recommend this unit. It feels like I just received 4 pedals for the price of 1 or 2.

Bei dem Produkt ist leider kein Eurosteckernetzteil beigelgt! Dieses muss nachgekauft werden, damit das Produkt in Betrieb genommen werden kann!

I really like the Sonicake Boom Ave multi-pedal for Bass! It is surprising how small it is, but the effect sounds are very high quality. The Preamp sounds very much like Tech21. I think the Octave is very close to Boss octaver sound. The fuzz and Boost/Compressor also work well. It sounds really good and easy to use. Also, it is so small, you can fit in pocket of your gigbag.

Estoy muy satisfecho con esta compra, suena muy bien, tiene lo que necesito. La relación calidad y precio me parece muy favorable. Es muy portátil y útil. El octavador podría ser mejor, la segunda octava la uso poco pero la primera me resuelve muchos pasajes para dar un sonido más profundo. El sonido del Fuzz me gusta mucho. El compresor es de buena calidad y te da un buen boost, y el preamp ayuda mucho para cuando vas directo a la consola para poder controlar tu tono y darle un poco más de punch con el gain.

installée sur mon pédalboard , très bon produit, une fois qu'on a trouvé ses réglages ça fonctionne plutôt bien.
