Sonicake was nice enough to send me a few of their mini electric guitar pedals to try out and I was blown away! Not only do are these pedals extremely compact and affordable... but they sound phenomenal!! Don't sleep on these affordable mini electric guitar pedals! Whether you are a beginner looking for guitar pedals or a seasoned veteran looking for pedals for your small pedalboard, these Sonicake Mini Pedals provide HUGE tone in a small package.
The Blue Skreamer is an all analog blues overdrive pedal designed to give you the classic sounds of a tube screamer or even the legendary Rumble tones... This one is probably my favorite of the lot. It's highly touch sensitive, sounds like a Fender style amp breaking up, and has incredible clarity. Whether you're looking for a boost, overdrive, or just simply, amp-like overdrive sounds, the Blue Skreamer is phenomenal. Oh, and it's only $35.99! 5 fins.
The Shark is an all analog distortion pedal with 3 distortion modes (classic, normal, and modern) designed to give you those crunchy, gainy, Marshall-esc tones. The classic mode definitely gives you more of that retro, classic rock feel; the normal mode adds a bit more gain and clarity; and the modern mode really lets the distortion fly with some fuzzy, thick, and aggressive distortion sounds. This thing sounds HUGE. Oh, and once again, it's only $35.99! 5 fins.
The 5th Dimension is an amazing modulation pedal. It's tiny and has 11 different modulation fx and a tap tempo built into it. Once again, I was shocked at how many sounds they were able to fit into this tiny pedal. It can do Chorus, Tremolo, Vibrato, Flange, Auto-Was, Phase, and even downsampling. At $55.99, you'd be hard pressed to find another modulation pedal that can do this much for this cheap of a price. 4.5 fins from me!
The Vexpress is a passive volume and expression pedal for only $39.99! This has to be one of the best cheap and small volume pedals on the market. The build quality is good and it's super simple to operate. You plug into the input and send then out the output for volume, or you attach a stereo TRS cable to the output and into the expression input of your pedal or modeler. That's how I've been using it with my Quad Cortex, and it's awesome.
The Sonic Ambience is a Delay and Reverb Pedal with a built in tap tempo (so you can sync your delay to the tempo of the song). While small in size, it provides 4 different reverb types and 4 different delay taps to help you dial in long decay ambient tones, and slapjack vintage amp tones. At $49.99, the sonic ambience is a good value for anyone looking to get up and running with some basic delay and reverb types.

Huge shoutout to Sonicake for sending these!! These tones are HUGE. Which mini pedals are your favorite??

I bought a Sonicake ‘fly rig’ pedal on a whim for $80. It has a compressor, a low gain drive, slapback, and a decent ‘verb. Surprisingly good bang for the buck as a backup to my pedalboard. The pedals they sent you have really good tone! Thanks for sharing Justin!

Oh nice!! I haven't tried their fly rigs yet, but I'm not surprised after playing on their Matribox II + mini pedals. They make great effects! Thank you for watching and commenting!

I got the volume pedal last year to go with my cheap lap steel. My only complaint is that due to its size, it's tough to get it to a precise setting. Even getting it to full heel down can be a challenge if you have larger feet- my real heel hits the ground before the pedal does. It works perfectly, but for my use, I'm looking for a full sized Ernie Ball or similar.

@JustinMuncy 4 ай бұрын

I could see that! It took me a second to figure out where to place my foot on it to get full control. I think that's a challenge you'll face with any sort of mini volume pedal.

sonicake is legit the best afordaboard pedals by a mile In my experience. Ive been using the Octaver on bass for over a year. its so close to an OC-2 its ridiculous. I have bought and compared it to multiple offerings from bigger companies and can never justify the price because of how good the Sonicake is.

I'm gonna have to take a look at that vexpression pedal to go with the Hotone midi controller I recently picked up. How is the build quality on it?

Are these analog or digital dsp?

@JustinMuncy 5 ай бұрын

I believe the Blue Skreamer and Shark are analog. The 5th dimension and sonic ambience are digital.

@nicktaber2969 5 ай бұрын

If they don't hold up to heavy use, they're not really "cheap". So you can't just compare a $35 pedal to $500 one. The price needs to be weighted by how long it lasts.
