SONICAKE Delay Reverb Pedal Sonic Ambience Multi Mode Tap Tempo Delay and Reverb Guitar Bass Effects Pedal

I bought the Sonic Ambience pedal because I wanted a digital reverb pedal because the spring reverb circuit in my Peavey Envoy 110 was picking up a buzz from the computer it sits next to in my office. Since I have been very impressed with my previous Sonicake purchases I always come to them first when I want to try something new, and they continue to help me dial in my perfect sound. The pedal arrives brilliantly packaged. The box is just the right size to hold the pedal, a couple of business card sized instruction sheets, a perfectly die cut 3M Velcro strip for attaching to your pedal board, (remove the rubber backing on the pedal first, and clean the bottom off or it doesn't stay stuck) and a foam insert that protects everything in transit. These pedals are compact but not so compact as to be un-usable which lets me add more of them to my compact pedalboard set-up and I just can't be happier with these products. The Sonic Ambience Pedal is advertised as a true bypass, as are all the Sonicake pedals, and in my testing that is true. There is no signal loss or alteration in tone when the pedals are switched off. These pedals don't have space for a battery so you will need a 9 volt, center negative power supply (not included). I am mounting them to a powered pedal board set-up so I've got that covered, but it is worth mentioning. I have this pedal at the end of my signal chain. On the Reverb side I currently have the reverb set at "C", and the mix set at 12:00. On the Delay side I have the delay set at "A", the time set at 12:00, the repeat set at about 10:45, and the blend set at 1:00. This gives me a church type reverb with just a warm touch of echo. There are a ton more audio options in this pedal outside of what I have listed here, (Room, Hall, and Plate Reverb as well as other delay options) This is just the sound that reaches out to me right this minute. The best part about this pedal is that it gives me reverb and delay in one pedal which will probably let me take my stand alone delay pedal off the board opening up a slot for something else, now my only problem is what to put in that spot. The sturdy construction of these pedals will more than stand up to my use. I am a home guitarist and dabbling bass player and don't make my living at it, so I can not speak to it's durability in that kind of environment, but I would think that if you don't abuse your gear it should be fine. This is now my fifth Sonicake pedal, all of them are still going strong and I am still happy with the choices I made. I am 100% certain that I will be looking to Sonicake again when I decide what I want next If you are on the fence about ordering this pedal, just do it, you can't go wrong. Play it loud!!

I’ve been looking for a reverb/delay combo pedal that’s no over $100 and this is just what I needed. It saves pedalboard space and now I only have one switch to press for my ambient sounds. CONS: The adhesive for the Velcro that came with it is pretty much worthless and when I tried to remove the pedal from my board the Velcro came off. Even tried adding gorilla glue to the Velcro and rubber pad but it still came off. Essentially I just had to remove the rubber too and stick my own Velcro on the metal back plate. The reverb is very sensitive and if turned up to almost half way, it will lower your volume quite a bit, especially with Hall and Chamber settings. PROS: Nice soft switch, so no clicking noise! It doesn’t require a lot of mA so if you need to daisy chain your pedals it doesn’t eat up a lot of you power like a lot of digital reverb and delays do. Tap Tempo is a very nice feature to have for such a low budget device. All of the delay settings sound great! CONCLUSION: I’m giving it 5 stars but in reality I would give it 4.5 stars only because of the reverb volume loss. Overall this is exactly the combo delay/reverb pedal I was looking for, with one switch to control both and the compact size, soft switch, and tap tempo are all bonuses!! I love it.

.This is well built and had good value for the price point. I play in a band so I'm a little more picky. The reverb and delay just did not produce the sound I was looking. It's a fine pedal. Just not for me. Might be right for you

Very powerful breakthrough technology in the smallest possible format. This being programmable with our phones makes this invaluable especially for the low budget musicians that hat want quality sounds. Perfect for practice or for traveling light with almost full spectrum results when you figure out how to use it with special stereo cables. We are now in the golden age of musical equipment. Especially if you consider the footprint and the price as well as the quality of sound. It could possibly work wonders if you pair them up in a stereo setup and if your clever, it could be astonishing and lightweight even with just one pedal if your a good programmer and player. Probably a great addition to a standard pedalboard for layering sounds and amps and fx. Tips: #1.keep the gain down and work your way up to find sweet spots, more gain is not always better. #2.Keep the volume down as well and work you way up. Not the other way around. You’re just asking for noise at any price point keeping everything maxed out. #3 try your best to go stereo even if it’s with 2 small amps. You won’t regret it and you will thank us sound nerds for telling you. This is astonishing for the money and all you get. It’s like getting a bunch of amplifiers and a bunch of effects for $75 which was impossible even in the early 90s or early 2000s. Bluetooth streaming too? What are you waiting for?

The whole thing sounds kinda muddy to me. First I should make it clear that I'm looking for a slapback delay with a short but expressive plate or spring reverb, ala rockabilly, surf, and such like. This pedal seems like it would work well if your jam is more ambient, but that's not what I'm here for. As to the reverb, there is no dwell adjustment, so you get the preset dwell. That's almost nothing on the first one and too much on the second. I was hoping for a good plate reverb but it sounds hissy and noisy. The cathedral is pretty expansive but it's not for me. The mix control goes from 100% dry to 100% wet, and the closer you get to wet the quieter the signal gets and without the dwell it's hard to dial it in. The delay works like any other small pedal four knob delay and aside from sounding kinda muddy, it seems fine. I was able to get a decent slapback after some tweaking. It it work for you, then it's an amazing value at these features and price. Huge space saver on the pedal board. If I keep this it'll be one of those utility pedals that you step on maybe twice a show for some heavy ambience.

This thing is really cool. It's not what I expected, but still very cool. I was expecting a big expansive reverb, but the reverb is kind of weak and sounds very tinny. However, what I didn't expect was how good the delay is. The delay is kind of insane. You can put the time down to minimum and get a sort of robotic sound, or play with that knob and get all sorts of cool glitchy sounds. It's great to use with a drum machine in particular. I was hoping to use it with my synths to get more expansive pad sounds but it turned out to be more of a drum glitch machine. It's tiny yet super well made. It feels heavy and the knobs, although small, are satisfying to use. It doesn't come with a power supply but uses standard guitar pedal 9v. So don't forget to pick one of those up if you don't already have one.

I like the aesthetic of the Sonicake pedals. I have four of their pedals currently, with a fifth one on order. This pedal I use for a simple room reverb and a slap-back analog tape echo. It can do a lot more, but I just needed something to just give my rig a little atmosphere. It looks great next to the 5th dimension that I use for chorus and the rude mouse pedal. I also have the vol-wah pedal, and I am waiting on the octaver. Edit: I now have several Sonicake pedals: The Sonic Ambience, 5th Dimension, Octaver, Vol-wah, Rude Mouse, Source Compressor, and Trio-Rider. The only one I don't love is the Octaver, but that isn't the pedal's fault; it is the type of pedal that it is. It isn't polyphonic, and it performs exactly as advertised. I love the Trio-Rider. I wanted a Klon-style pedal but never felt the need to pay a lot of money for one, and this hits exactly in the sweet spot of price for performance and features for me. I think it sounds great. The quality feels great, and the price, while a little bit more than some of the other pedals, was still very affordable for essentially three different Klon-style circuits. Edit: after buying the Trio Rider I bought the Fazy Sandwich. Disclaimer: I hate Fuzz pedals, but I feel like it’s the kind of effect everyone should have. The Fazy Sandwich is 3 different circuits. The Classic and Modern are nice and react well to controls. I was able to get sounds I enjoyed out of them. The “JF” big muff style sound I didn’t love but that is more because it is my least favorite style of fuzz.

I bought the Sonicake Sonic Ambience and the iSet Digital Reverb. The iSet was really cheap and the knobs were wobbly and the sound was not good. The Sonicake however was really solid--built well and sturdy, and the sounds were pretty good. Not great and can be hard to get a subtle reverb but the reverse delay was a cool effect, although it would not allow you to quiet the initial note even with the mix all the way up. Also, the text on the pedal is too small to read unless you are about a foot away. Since this is a tiny pedal, it is not really surprising. A lot of options though that are usable and for 50 bucks, it is one of the better Chinese made Amazon budget pedals available. I definitely was returning the iSet about five minutes after getting it but with the Sonicake I thought about keeping it for the reverse delay, since it is a really cool effect. I ended up returning it too though because it came a day after I was gifted a EQD Dispatch Master so I didn't need the reverb and delay anymore. Overall, 4/5

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.

Le doy 5 estrellas porque aunque no es un pedal perfecto, tiene un gran sonido en una pequeña presentación. Mete un poco de ruido pero por el precio creo que es inmejorable y menos ruidoso que otros pedales más costoso.

It's a compact and cheap pedal, that's worth the money! Paired with the Fazy Cream pedal by SONICAKE it's a shoegaze machine!

Really happy with this pedal. The delay and reverb tones are versatile enough to cover a lot of ground — from subtle ambience to more washed-out, atmospheric sounds. The tap tempo feature is genuinely useful for locking in timing live. Works well with both guitar and bass. Build feels sturdy and the controls are straightforward to dial in. Good value for what you get.

Ottimo prodotto. Funziona bene ed ha dimensioni ridotte. Molto soddisfatto
