SONICAKE Pocket Master-Portable Multi Effects Pedal, 100+ Built-in Guitar/Bass/Acoustic Effects, Amp Modeling, IR Cabinets Simulation, Stereo OTG USB Audio Interface, Rechargeable (Transparent White)

Excellent bang for your buck, here. Toms of effects and amps, plus the ability load your own NAM and IRs. Sturdy and well built, even though it's plastic. It comes with a clip and is small enough, I often hang it on my strap. No buzz or interference, whether plugged in or running of battery, which lasts forever. Might be the best 65 bucks you can spend on a multi effect unit. Especially considering the amp modeling. You can also pair an M-Vave chocolate plus midi controller for programmable external foot switches. The presets were good enough, but there are also 50 slots for user load outs as well. Honestly, probably worth it as a standalone distortion, reverb, delay, or OD pedal alone. And the fact that is has bass effects, amps, and cabs is icing on the cake. Super versatile, super cheap, super good.

Amp modelers are getting better and cheaper all the time. The SoniCake Pocket Master is the latest proof of that. This unit is truly the latest marvel in that it gives pretty good, believable tones, has a looper (albeit 10 sec.), full multi effects like bigger units and is about the size of an average cell phone. Why would you want this? Well... It will allow you to practice anywhere you can take your guitar - even acoustic or bass. It sounds great and you throw it in your guitar case and go. All of this and the rechargeability makes this whole package a player's dream. The SoniCake represents the fact that an amp modeler no longer has the be big and expensive to sound and feel good. To make it even better, there is a phone app that lets you dive deep into the settings to customize the presets. I've been practicing on this every day and highly recommend it for its sound and quality for what it's made for.

The Sonicake Pocket Master Portable is a fantastic tool for musicians who prioritize portability and ease of use. It's compact, lightweight, and effortlessly fits into any setup, making it perfect for on-the-go practice or quick gigs. The overall sound quality is quite good, offering solid tones that work well for a range of genres. However, where it falls short is in delivering the depth and authenticity needed for certain styles—particularly true metal. Even with additional IRs added for personalization, it struggles to hit the aggressive, high-gain tones required for heavier music. The responsiveness and richness needed for a truly powerful metal sound just aren’t quite there, making it less ideal for players seeking crushing riffs and razor-sharp clarity. That said, for general use, versatility, and portability, the Pocket Master does a commendable job. If you need a reliable, space-saving option for basic practice and performance, it’s a solid choice—as long as extreme metal tones aren’t your main focus.

+easy to use +effects selection is good +good price +nice aesthetic/color choices +portable +bluetooth playthrough +it literally fits in a pocket -battery will eventually degrade -out-of-the-box sounds are passable but not amazing -you will not get "the perfect tone" from this unit -buttons are not "heavy duty" durable its a great unit that falls a bit short of "studio ready" but even then I think you could pull it off.

I travel for work and wanted to jam out when traveling so I got this, a 1/4-3.5mm adapter and a Donner Hush traveling guitar. Basically plug my guitar in this, using the adapter I plug my headphones and guitar in to the sonicake, and i have a mobile jam center with tons of effects. You can use this setup to go jogging while you play your own theme music lmao. Build quality and interface is great. Navigating through it is very intuitive As far as the features, I haven’t used the NAM feature yet or anything like that yet, so can’t speak on it. But as far as how it comes out the box, it’s awesome and gives you “wireless” freedom to be mobile. Tons of effects and amps, a world of sound in such a small inexpensive package In the photo, this is all you need to play. You can literally walk around the block jamming out if you want

Let me preface this by saying I own Fractal, Headrush, Nano Cortex and have had many modelers over the years. This does not replace any of those, but this thing holds it own, never mind the dirt cheap price tag. I have less than an hour of play time with it and immediately uploaded my favorite IR’s before even starting. I also uploaded several NAS clones, but have found the preloaded amp are top notch. Since my go to ‘real amps’ are Engl and 5150 variants, this covers them perfectly. This thing is so feature packed I honestly can’t believe I paid what I paid. This has everything the Nano Cortex should have, but doesn’t. The parameters are minimal, but adequate to shape tone. The EQ options get me where I need to be. Again, upload some good IR’s, that will make or break modeled tone. The app is pleasantly great. Makes dialing in so easy and the app looks and performs wonderfully. Way better than the Nano Cortex UI. Zero complaints with the app. Bad? Not really. I’d say it’s not exactly a foot pedal as it is a desktop device. I can’t see the switches being very user friendly if controlled with your feet. Some say it would work live. Maybe. You can get some great usable tone, just not something I’d replace a device I’ve spent literal hours shaping tone on. I personally got it for the portability so I can disappear into my bedroom for a jam session and maybe track some scratch tracks with it, or travel with. I can’t speak on durability just yet, I was just so blown away right off the bat I felt it deserved and early impressions review. It feels like a solid built device. Doesn’t feel cheap. For the price it 100% cannot be beat. I dare say would’ve spent double on it and been equally impressed. This is the right direction into the future. You spend $70 on crap junk food all week long, splurge a little and get this thing. Nothing to loose.

I love this thing, it was cheap price wise, has a battery to take anywhere, and has good sounds and is small and light. I coupled it with a small battery Amp and my Steinberger SPIRIT guitar, and I have a mini set up to toss on my back and take to the park or jam session. So far I love it for what it is. Most of the effects I could probably use live and nobody would know the difference. I'll usually just do a quick setup at home to practice instead of pulling my entire pedal board out, so it's very helpful as far as that goes. The app makes it super easy to add or subtract effect pedals and there's enough effects to pretty much do anything basic as far as distortion, delay reverb and amps and cabs plus more. For under $100 bucks (around half that) it's 5 stars for sure !!!

I have over 70 pedals both very boutique and expensive and budget friendly too. And this pedal is an Unbelievable pedal for the price. Just buy it. The amount of effects blocks, with a looper and drum sounds for practice along with Bluetooth. I mean it’s an absolute beast. And the fact that it is rechargeable makes it so much more usable. Pedal Quality - amazing. Weight - quite light. Functionality - amazing. Tone - unbelievable for the price.

This is a fabulous multi-effect unit for the price. Fitting in your hand it is the perfect tool for practicing. The range of presets is ample and nearly all of them are very useful . A wide variety of genres is catered for and a few of them are better than the presets on other, far more expensive, multi-effects pedals I own. You can also edit the presets and save your edits. Or make your own from scratch by adjusting a clean tone to your taste. It also has facilities that I am told are the latest in amp simulations. But that's beyond me as I am in the "Old Dog vs New Tricks" era of my life 😁 The only thing missing, for me, is an AUX input that would have allowed me to feed my backing tracks directly into the device without needing a PC. But if you connect it to a computer you can use that as your AUX input. That's what I do when I improvise to backing tracks on YouTube.

Warto. Za takie pieniądze na prawdę warto. Mały ale wariat

This was a gift from me to my stephson. I don't know much about guitars as such but this little box is amazing. So many functions and preset options for such a low price is incredible. I really recommend this to beginner and intermediate players. Infact even pro players will enjuyhis litte companion. I do have experience as a musician and can tell that this little gadget is not a toy at all. It's awesome and if I played an instrument where I could use this Id buy it in a jiffy.

Love this wee device, sound is really good, with firmware update it does midi via the usb, battery life is great, small sound is good , NAM support and works with the free NAMs, presets are really good, and they are easily modified, works will with headphones too, so you could basically have this mounted on your belt with belt clip, a wee short cable to the guitar, and a pair of headphones. Does not come with a usb c cable, don't know why, but you need one for power or charging, or using as an audio interface. Can connect via Bluetooth to your phone, phone app is good, and you will need to use Bluetooth if wou want to use the full set of drums rather than just the metronomes. Also allows you to play along with music from phone and properly mixes it. The website has all the firmware updates, software, and drivers for Mac and windows, and the unit also can be used for recording to the pc in DAW or whatever you want. Not really played with the looper that much, but it works, it's only 10 seconds but it you can overdub and pause and restart easily enough. Phone app makes life so much easier when using this. Hold all three buttons to put into firmware update mode of for copying NAM files, can hold 5 NAMs at a time. Loads of good videos on YouTube for demos, and reviews, the best 40 quid I've spent on my guitar for a while, might buy some more for gifts for other people. Buttons are nice and solid so you could use your feet, and belt clip is detachable so you don't scratch wooden flooring. Strong, well made, long battery life, great device.

Pour le prix auquel il est, c'est tout simplement étonnant d'avoir autant de fonctionnalités. Je cherchais à la base une pédale de préampli avec une prise casque pour pouvoir jouer dans être tributaire d'un ampli volumineux et pas très convaincant à faible volume. Le tout à prix très contenu évidemment. Mission largement accomplie pour le pocket master, qui fait en plus multi effets, accordeur, looper et interface audio pour le brancher à un DAW par exemple. C'est inespéré à ce prix. Tout est parfait vu l'utilisation que j'en ai, à tel point que je suis passé de 8 pédales à... Deux ! Il fonctionne aussi sur batterie. Parmi les multiples effets et amplifications disponibles, il accepte aussi les profils NAM avec toutefois une légère dégradation du son, mais ça reste tout à fait jouable et pour le prix, rien à redire. Seul reproche lié à l'utilisation que j'en ai : deux reverbs parmi celles proposées ne sont pas vraiment exploitables, elles se contentent de produire un sorte de souffle pas très convaincant. Mais pour le reste, c'est totalement une bonne affaire vu le prix, il m'est vite devenu indispensable.
