Playwell TANK-G Multi Effects Pedal for Digital Electric Guitar with 36 Editable Presets, Chorus, Delay, Reverberation, MOD, Infrared Loading, Recording, Tuner, Battery

Wow. This is amazing for the price!!! Seriously amazing. Note to buyers. Many of the effects use built in amp cabs and heads designed to mimic some pretty well known classic amps. 'See the booklet for a list of these abd what order they are on the relevant dials' You might find using the pedal straight into headphones sounds amazing but then struggle to get the same tones from plugging into youre amp. The reason this is is because you're amp is designed in what ever way the company who designed it to sound its best when a guitar is directly plugged into it. With this pedal in between you're guitar and amp the amp models then fight against the amp itself and can really affect how it sounds. Classic stomp boxes are best for amps. With multi effects pedals like this when amp types are built it is far better for plug into a pa type generic or frfr speaker. You'll find the pedal sounds a whole lot better just like when used with you're headphones. Well thats my experience anyway with pedals like this. Alternatively when using with a normal amp turn OFF the IR CAB dial to get the inteded sound from the pedal through a guitar amp. 100% defo worth the money. Also using this straight into youre computer is going to create some killer recordings. Oh and the app makes dialing in or editing tones much easier.

I dialled in some great metal sounds using the built in amps/cabs. The knobby interface is good for tweaking, but I used the iPad app to build patches from scratch. You need to keep hold of the paper manual to know what the numbered amps/cabs are. There are 9 banks of 4 patches each. I built my patches like this: bank 1 : four carefully dialled-in metal tones using amps 6, 7, 8, 9 (all with cab 4) bank 2 : copied bank 1 but using cab 8 The result is a varied palette of 8 very good metal tones that cover lots of situations. I also put an OD pedal in front and it sounds amazing. The delay and reverb seem good, though I'm no expert. The reverb can go very wet (sounds like 95% or more) if you want to do some ambient stuff (for which amp 3 and cab 4 are a decent starting point). I recommend this device if you want the knob-per-function for eq and effect tweaking on the fly. I found the physical interface not great for building patches from scratch because there are only dots rather than numbers for identifying amps and cabs. The iPad app works ok for editing patches but I found the IR/effect downloading too fiddly/flaky.

Bought as a backup for a much more expensive unit and more than does the job. Also better and cheaper than buying individual pedals for beginners.

good connectivity, good value, good battery life, settings a bit fiddly and difficult to see at foot level

Really good little pedal. Well made and sounds great. With a little bit of work this can sound great. I’m using it now instead of my old pedal board. Rechargeable built in battery in brilliant

Easy to edit present good tones

Perfect product with high quality features. Highly redommended for guitarists of all levels. Easy to install understandable manual.

I'm having fun with it. Totally good purchase

Ya best thing I bought in a long time Presets are not the best ,but once you turn back the dial It comes alive ya worth every penny Effects are king ,and the option on amps It’s a Swiss Army knife I like it so much Iam getting another one and the black box

This thing works as good as any high end pedal, and for a fraction of the price. I bought this not expecting much, however after I tested this thing out, I was very surprised. It sounds great. Tuner mode is extremely accurate. Has remote to your phone. Models various amps. Built-in effects processing. Bluetooth. This thing recharges and holds a charge for enough to do almost 12 hours of playing. Charge up with a phone cable. Love this thing. Don't hesitate if you're looking at this. Just buy it. A bunch of my friends also bought these. Great fly rig. I would not hesitate to use this live. XLR, and quarter inch out.

I recently tested an Azor Cube Baby, and was really impressed by its versatility. This Playwell Tank-G is basically a beefed-up version of a Cube Baby, so I was eager to see how it would perform. While the Cube Baby only has 3 save slots, this has a total of 36 editable presets organized in 9 banks of 4. Navigation is relatively easy (everything is marked on the top and it quickly becomes second nature), but my heart sank a little as I realized the presets were mainly geared toward cleans and lower-gain tones. There are dirty sounds, but I found them somewhat lackluster. There’s far more waiting inside than the presets would lead you to believe, however. It has 9 different amp models (I know I said 8 in the video...and the Diezel is number 8, not number 7) that can deliver oodles of guitary goodness. There are two cleans (a Twin and “Archetype”...which might be an AC30?), three overdrives (Marshall JVM410, Friedman 100, Marshall Plexi), and four distortion (Marshall AFD 100, Peavey 6534, Diezel Hagen, EVH 5150). If you invest a little time experimenting with the amps and settings, you’ll quickly find a lot to love. I prefer the knob design to the buttons you find on most multi fx pedals these days, as these feel so much more natural and immediate. The colourful LEDs are also a big plus, and the 8 IR cabinet sims offer a variety of instant EQ variations. Some are bright, some are dark, some are compressed, but they all do something unique. Pros: -Good build quality; aluminum housing feels very durable, as do the switches -Attractive style and beautiful LED lighting -Built-in battery means no more worrying about finding a spot to plug it in -Very good sound quality; lots of tasty tones to be had -9 amp models, 8 IR cab sims, 3 flavours of reverb types, 3 types of delay, 3 mod effects (chorus, phaser, tremolo), and a noise gate -Quite versatile; sort of like a big brother to the Cube Baby (maybe a Cube Teen?) -XLR out to go direct into boards, speakers, and/or recording interfaces -A fair number of videos available online to help if you’re having problems Cons: -Manual is fairly superficial; should contain much more information than it does, and leaves you to figure much out on your own -Amp models are different from the ones on the M-Vave Tank-G -Can accidentally overwrite a preset if you happen to long-press a button while holding or carrying it -Presets are a bit underwhelming and could be ordered better -Volume differences between presets; I think they were trying to set them up so that you could go from quieter cleans to louder dirty sounds, but they missed the mark a bit on that one -Only 3 mod effects; would be nice to have more variety and/or an expression pedal -Really wish it had a looper -Can’t set the delay for a single repeat, and it’s harder to dial in the delay time than it is on the Cube Baby -Not plug and play with a computer or phone; Windows/Mac software and iOS/Android apps can be downloaded from their website, however -Wish it had a little carrying case included I realize I listed a lot of cons above, but those are fairly minor complaints. So far I’m VERY happy with this purchase. I’ve been playing around with it for the last four days, and still haven’t seen everything it can do yet. The sound quality is very good, and it represents a nice middle ground between the more limited Cube Baby and pricier Zoom-style multi fx units. It would be nice to have more effects available, such as a looper and/or wah, but it’s great for what it is. I think $99.99 is a fair price, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. If you're looking for something a little simpler, the Cube Baby would also be a great choice. My rating: 4.5 stars

Some people have complained that it don't sound good..... My response to that claim is they don't know how to set it up and tweek it. Listen up: I have ran this thing thru the power anp section of my hundred watt two amp with a four twelve cabinet Sounds great very giggable. I have plugged it in to my hometheatre system. With a little bit of tweeking OMG it sounds good...really. I have used it through my twelve hundred watt fifteen/ horn power speakers. Once again you have to tweak it and turn the horn down some..... That's to be expected. I have even hooked it up to some small powered Stereo speakers and my friends TV soundbar With great results. I got it going right out of the box before. Even read the manual Wasn't hard at all to figure out. Note: The effect settings are very sensitive. So you have to take a little time to get him just like you want.- once again TWEAK it There are a couple of downsides: When running the music via Bluetooth Into the unit it lacks definition and base response. Music sounds great using a cable....? It has no effects loop..... It is not a stereo unit. If this thing was stereo and had an effects loop It would be amazing. As is a great unit especially for $80. I like it! UPDATE! Now that i've spent several months with it, I really have to say I love it!!! Have been running it into a 100 watt head with a 412 cabinet. I have not found (ANY) (amp) sound That I could not emulate damn near to the t. What really blows my mind I don't have to play loud To get any and all of the harmonic feedback I can ask for I don't care what note you play..... Incredible for a unit less than $100. I am not absolutely crazy about the reverb and chorus effects. I mean they are good but not exactly when I was looking for, So I tried coming out of the tank g and going in to my favorite effect Peddles and bam! Came out of the old school MXR chorus stereo into 2 100w heads into my 412 cabinet in stereo and OMG. After all this experimentation I purchased a very cheap (Pyle) lol 18 watt stereo amp and run into a 212 cab and damn. Great! My friends say WTF? How the hell are you getting that kind of a sound out of that little thing? I just smile and keep on playing... Highly recommend!!!

Works and sounds great! Better than expected. This also has great hard rock and metal tones if you want them! Lots of flexibility and easy to use. I bought it for the live modes. Well made. What a great deal! Just buy one today!
