It’s like getting a bunch of amplifiers and a bunch of effects for $75
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?

Glitch machine
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.

Effects OK But....g Value. Good Sound
.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

I would give this pedal 4.5/5 stars. Here’s why...
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.

Great idea and price, a few issues
This idea is great, reverb and delay in one mini pedal with tap tempo and trails options. The build quality is fine, similar to mooer/donner/etc.The issues with this pedal come down to volume levels.The reverb can be set too 100% wet, no dry signal. The delay however has odd mix behavior. With the delay level truned all the way up, the direct signal is greatly reduced, but not eliminated, and the delay is slightly louder than unity gain. This control should either leave the direct singal alone, and only adjust the delay level, or it should be able to completely mute the dry signal.But that probably wont be an in issue unless you want to use this pedal in a parallel effects loop. The bigger problem is the volume drop. If you set both the reverb and delay level controls to zero (fully dry signal) and then turn the pedal on and off, you can hear the volume drop when it is on. Either bypass mode (trails on or off) had the volume drop.The idea is cool and it doesnt sound too bad, that volume drop is the main problem.

High quality Reverb/Delay with many options, 1 or both at once, individual levels, great price.
For the price, this is fantastic. The reverbs are very usable and the delay choices are more than I usually need, so it covers all my uses: Pink Floyd, U2, Van Halen, etc. Seems pretty quiet on power supply chain. Common 9v barrel port. Soft-click on/off switch. When on, both effects are always on, but you take one out by just zeroing its mix level; so you can have reverb or delay, or both. A lot of uses for such an inexpensive pedal. Quality sound, good enough for stage or studio.

Good value for price (Edited for all my Sonicake pedals.)
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.

Awesome … (Awesome … Awesome) ...
Great pedal with so much more variety than a standard reverb or delay pedal. The variety of room sizes/types, as well as the delay types is something new to me, who only knew those options as available on rack mount effects. (It'd been 30 years since I was in the pedal and effects market, but I've looked at a lot of stuff recently and most are not this versatile.) I'm using it (on bass) for a subtle room (hall, actually) and a little slap-back delay, but you can make/crank it up to an obnoxious level of effect, if that's what you want. The tap tempo is a great feature, just remember to lock it in with another 2 second press, or you can't shut the effect off. It's also very clean, as far as I'm hearing through a GK bass amp a couple feet from my head. (... as long as you have a clean power supply, like any pedal. I learned that the hard/dirty way when I linked the Cry-Bot with another modulation pedal and the hum seemed like 1/3 of the sound. It was worth spending as much on a dedicated daisy chain 9V supply as I'd spent on the Cry-Bot.)I still wish Sonicake hadn't decided to switch from the light-up pots and embossed logo, etc., all the details that made their pedals stand out more from every other generic pedal box ... but the guts are still the same, and that's what matters the most ... I guess.Overall, this is a very versatile pedal ... to fill for your spacious needs.

Pequeño gran pedal
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.

Great reverb for the money!
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!
User
Exactly what I needed
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.

Tremenda miniatura
Lo he conectado a un Yamaha Reface CS, para aportar el efecto de reverberación que el aparato de Yamaha no tiene, pero he descubierto un delay muy interesante, con posibilidad de tap tempo y reverse delay que hacen su manejo para sintetizadores (en sonido mono, no estéreo) muy creativo.Había leído que el nivel bypass era más bajo de lo normal, pero no ha sido mi caso, quizá es algo corregido en la versión que he comprado. No tengo idea de qué puedo estar usando distinto a quienes aprecian esa diferencia.
