6/5, beyond expectations and without shame
.. .. So perspective.. I'm a pro musician. I'm blessed enough to be a full time musician and a signed guitarist in a big group in the USA🇺🇸, being from the UK🇬🇧 originallySince then. I upgraded my kit. I have a November burst Gibson les Paul and a 60s Jazzmaster, jcm800, strymon big sky, mxr pedals, Cali compressor, etc... I've got some beautiful and expensive kit. 🙏🏽🙌🏽PtlTHIS though......!!!! is proudly sat on my outrageously expensive pedal board...for £25....and I don't plan on letting it go any time soon lol.This is one of the best boosts I've ever used.I use my box of rock boost for Distortion solo boosts, and I'm running this as my seperate clean boost now. It's fantastic. And it does Distortion and clean both equally well. It also works well with an acoustic hooked up too!! I legit got an acoustic pick up on shein lmao slapped it on and it sounds awesome through my PA. Boost seems to brighten it's tone too and more clarity.I find it's quiet too, very little buzzing humming etc and if you do get any noise, a tiny bit of mxr smartgate will sort it. Or a well set up quality compressor like the Cali 76, and again, try use AC set ups from mains instead of running DC. DC sucks for your signal and noiseI now run all AC PSU via my spaceship 60xl AC. Fab.Jazzmaster vintera 60s are "noisy" guitars apparently.... Not mine. It's all about set up. I have next to no sound even with dist on.It's definitely worth the money, easily, no matter your level. It's worth having it even as a back up, it's compact in size, fun and takes your standard power supply. It's great all round.

Easy to use. Sounds good.
The built-in sounds included stuff I didn't need so I downloaded loads of the best recommended IRs online. Transferring them to the pedal was easy and now I can get anything from Fender cleans, to Marshall crunch and lead sounds. I also installed a variation of Laneys, 5150, and other amp sims to give me loads of options.For this price , it's a great pedal that does what it's supposed to. My only criticism, which is a tad unfair at this price, is that any pedal like this should have a digital read-out of the selected amp. I'd be happy to pay double to get this pedal with a display.The TC Electronic for example, tells you exactly which amp is selected. Unfortunately, I don't think that the £130 price tag is justified.If I had the money, I'd definitely get the JOYO amp loader.Like I said, the display criticisms is a bit harsh, but I'd definitely upgrade mine if they released one. I'm sure I'm not alone.If you're looking for a well priced pedal that just gets the job done without any bells and whistles , I'd thoroughly recommend this one.

Small, robust, can create a large variety of ambient and trippy sounds which I love.
I love it. Can create some trippy, psychedelic sounds with this little pedal, as well as plenty of ambient chorus and reverb. Had a good fiddle around with it and made my guitar sound like a church organ. All in all good value for money.

Excellent bargain Muff Fuzz!
I love the Sonicake range of pedals and have owned a few since they appeared on the market. The Fazy Cream Fuzz is a good addition to their range with loads of fuzz on tap at a bargain price.Pedal has 3 controls: Level (i.e. volume) Tone and a big centre control to add fuzz which goes from a creamy fuzz to full on high gain fuzz distortion.Like all pedals you need to play around with the settings to see what suits your guitar. amp and preferred tone, For me I found rolling back the fuzz and tone controls created a more pleasing effect with not too much of the top end fizz which is not my cup of tea. Also at high volumes it can be a bit noisy, but that is not unusual with fuzz pedals.Note that the pedal is in the pedalboard friendly mini format which means you can cram loads on your board, but there's no facility for batteries and you need a standard Boss style centre negative power supply to run the pedal.In conclusion its a good buy for someone who is fuzz curious but without too much cash in their pockets!

Very nice
Very simple ABY switch and nice sound. The volume is equal on out A and B, even when used at the same time a single mono. Looks very rugged and solid. Impressed overall. I have yet to use it live but i'll update this review once I did but, so far so good and for that price it's unbeatable.

Sorta Kinda Works.
This works ok if all you're looking to do is quieten that 60hz hum that single-coil pickups produce or reduce excess noise created by your EQ if you're using it to drive your clean signal a little, and perhaps for O/D if you're not pushing it too hard, but for distortion effects, it leaves much to be desired. I'm sure there is a sweet spot where you can get the balance right, but I haven't found it, so it either cuts too much or too little from the signal. Try to stack your overdrive with your distortion and this becomes utterly useless. I should have known better than to try to replace a decent noise gate with this just to save a little cash. Still, it will be useful early in the effects chain just to lose the 60hz hum on my Strats and Teles, so not a total loss.

Delay is great
This pedal is very well built, metal case ,The reverb is very sensitive, tiny movement on the pot increases the reverb by loads , also the Reverb a bit mushy , it’s also tricky to get just the right amount.The delay on the other hand is very good.Considering the price this is an awesome pedal .

new life into dull B string
Amazing little pedal, i bought this to enhance a very quiet low B string on a very cheap 6 string bass, simply put it makes the bass sound like it has active pickups, so anyone in need of boosting without changing pickups then this is definitely a solid cheap alternative.
