SANSAMP KILLER!!! (Sonicake BOOM Ave.) Full Review + DEMO
Рет қаралды 61,096
Күн бұрынGotta be real here. This stupid little multi effects pedal is RAD. And you know how I feel about multi effects pedals. Well, maybe you don't. Bottom line, I don't like multi effects pedals. I don't even really like bass effects pedals. So it's saying a lot when I say I LOVE this little pedal.

I’m a guitar player, so I guess you can call me a frustrated Bass player, and I need all the help I can get. The comp sounded great on Fingers, Pick and slap, yes it’s a bit like throwing a limiter on the slap, but to my ears in a mix it would stand out like Jaco. Thank you for the video. Also you are an amazing player. I just hit subscribe.

I've been running the same SansAmp in my kit for about 5 years now, and my old DigiTech anniversary whammy octave broke/stopped working. So this'll hopefully fill out that lil something-something I've been missing. Impeccable taste and reviewing as always Dan, thank you for the recommendation.

The Sonicake pedals I’d like to see reviewed are: Multi-effects: Rock Stage because they claim it can make you sound like you’re playing through a Marshall Plexi with good sounding delay and chorus, and who on earth doesn’t want THAT?!? And the Twiggy Blues, because sounding like you’re plugged into a Dumble amp, Tube Screamer, and analog-sounding reverb and delay is something every guitar player should aspire to!! Finally: ALL of their mini stompboxes! Just because we need to hear them all, why else?! Ever since your reviews on mini stompboxes I’ve grown to love them! The right ones not only sound great, but they take up so little space and are so much lighter and easier to pack, carry, and they allow me to have more room on the stage. But the best part is, when the wasted on alcohol barflies decided to jump up on stage, they’re so small that the lushes usually can’t find them to step on them! 😂

Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow, gig on Sunday. Since it is a church gig i don’t need major effects, but the ability to kick it up for up tempo songs. Currently using a Fender ‘65 Reverb pedal, but planning on using a HOF mini in the future. They don’t want amps because of the small size, so hoping this will cut my stuff carried to minimum. Wanted the Mooer volume pedal, but went with the Sonicake because of price. I will let you know how it shakes out. Recommendation for a Bass mini reverb would be nice, but I will try the HOF mini for now. Thanks for all your reviews.

I bought this after I saw your video. I agree, there are some minor issues with this pedal, especially when I match it against other pedals. The Pre-Amp is great for my silvertone and bassman because these amps do not have a mid level. This helps give these amps a bit more adjustment, when dialing the mid down and up. I do like the octave settings. Overall - I only paid under $70.00 for this pedal and I will use it for my practice travel gear. I still have not matched this against my sans-amp pedal yet. I will have to tryout some of their other pieces, I just wish the guitar pedals had an XLR out as well....might need to break out the drill and soldering iron for those????

Now I have a song to play that calls for octave pedal and I got it out and tried using it. I just can;t get past the noise. And the octave isn;t consistent. It will stop the octave note then play it again while the original note is sustaining. Very weird. The Preamp is the loudest (noisiest) part of the pedal. As long as I'm playing it sounds great, but when I mute the strings N O I S E!!!!! Any tips?

I used to just stock Rowin but really the donner and sonicake multis (and let's face it they aren't a zoom 505, we can unhate multis now) are a good future plan right there.
@GunsandGuitars 4 жыл бұрын
I hate multi’s still, but I like Sonicake’s take on it. Only 4 effects with 4 foot switches. No paging through hundreds of effects, blending them together, programming banks, etc. too hard to tweak that stuff on the fly. I like to be able to bend down and tweak a knob a tad to make a small adjustment. That’s all.
@valvenator 4 жыл бұрын
I won't say I hate multis but I do hate dealing with them and trying to dial in my sound is a total pain. But, you mention the Zoom 505. I have a 506 for bass. One thing I have to give it a plus for is the octave generator. You can play full chords through this unit, guitar, bass, even CD's and such and it picks the lowest note and harmonizes a perfect octave down. No glitches that I could hear. I would love to have that as a separate pedal. None of my more expensive pedals could pull that off.

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.

@@GunsandGuitars The reviews seem to get lots of views, etc. I just ordered an older model Guitar from them as B-stock. - 1 guitar max had on his show actually - $150 out the door with shipping AND a guitar stand. You could get a kit from them for about $100-110 all in. Coming from Germany the shipping time seems a little slower than what we've become used to .

I think the micro pog would be a good octave pedal for you to check out

Looks to me like you're using a bass with Active pups and potentially active eq? I wonder if the comp especially and fuzz would respond better with a passive bass since you are already getting some compression and gain from the active electronics.

That’s a good point, should’ve used a passive bass for this demo. I did run the bass’ active preamp completely flat so that it didn’t compete with the preamp on the pedal, but it’s still possible it was toying with it a little. Anyway, good point, you might be right.

@@GunsandGuitars I'm curious to know as I am really interested in this pedal. Overall you did a really great job with the review, but as a passive bass player I'm wondering if it is slightly more usable, even your thoughts in a reply would be hugely appreciated.

Nice pedal for $99, but I'm keeping my Tech 21 and MXR bass preamps.

I dare you to try it. I thought nothing would replace my sansamp. I was shocked to like this better. Still not ditching the spectra comp though

I like this review. So close to a great pedal. When Sonicake switches suboctave 2 to an octave up, ditches the useless fuzz, and lowers the minimum compressor setting I'll buy one for sure!
@GunsandGuitars 4 жыл бұрын
I think you don’t have to wait, if they make all those changes, it’ll be the perfect pedal and they can charge $500 for it. Get one now for $99 and don’t look back.

@@GunsandGuitars Thank you kind sir. Really appreciate it. I watch often, just don't always comment. Love the gun stuff too. Please consider doing a video on installing stainless or EVO frets. Would love to see you refret a guitar with one of the two. Recommending tools, what to watch out for, etc. Thanks again..

This is more of a sansamp flyrig alternative. I doubt that it can replace everything that the Sansamp fly rig does just because the sound out of those things are so nice. It's like comparing the Sans amp to the Behringer bass pedal. Comparable but not quite the same.

Great review, thanks. I was seriously tempted, but no. If they lost the fuzz and added a tuner, and an octave up, I'd have snapped one up. Would have been the perfect one stop shop, but as it stands I'd still have to have two more separate pedals, which defeats the point.

I agree, a built in tuner would have made it perfect.
