I have a reverb, delay and a chorus pedal and what lacking on my board are other modulation effects. Definitely can't afford expensive ones and just been looking for a small multieffects mod unit and this one so far covers pretty much everything. Bought it. 👍

@chrisradzion2148 5 лет назад

Great review. This actually sold me on this pedal over some other similar pedals. I heard many familiar tones there, including two of my favorites- Smashing Pumpkins and Pink Floyd. I own two Sonicake pedals (one is the Twiggy Blues multi effects bar), so I know they make some quality stuff, especially for the price.

@SeanPierceJohnson 5 лет назад

Chris Radzion two of my favorites as well! I should actually be getting a RockStage bar from Sonicake any day now. Should be fun to check out! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words!

@chrisradzion2148 4 года назад

SeanPierceJohnson Crazy update: after reading some of the promotions literature on this pedal, which has been on my board for a year (mostly for the phases and Rotovibe effects), I learned that using the Jet Fln Br, if dialed in just right, can do very good Leslie tones. I messed around with it (I never had much use for that effect, as I use an Electric Mistress clone for my flanger needs), and low and behold- it actually nails some killer Leslie tones. I’ve been able to get the same sounds that you find on “Sgt Peppers” and on “Dark Side of the Moon”. Over a year later and I’m still finding this little pedal to be more and more versatile!

I can’t believe I’m saying this: I like the ring mod best. The way you dialed in the note w/additional dry signal was super cool. I’ve never found a useful reason for that effect, but I could’ve added even more dry, tossed delay on it and used it as a well placed effect at the back of an arpeggiated part...hmm, ideas, ideas... 👏👏👏 -Aaron

@simonbeck7446 Год назад

I just bought one to use with my electric piano (electromechanical, like a Wurly - not digital). It's an amazing pedal for the price. My favourite effects are both chorus effects, Opto Trem (the Liquid Trem is too square-wave for my liking), the Roto (similar to a Small Stone phaser) and the Talking Bot filter. Definitely worth getting if you have a Rhodes or a Wurly. Incidentally, my pedal has opaque black knobs and a single separate red LED indicator. Probably a more recent version.

@SeanPierceJohnson Год назад

Yes they did change the aesthetic of it in the last couple of years. It’s a shame cuz the one I got is a real looker

@swmorgan515 5 лет назад

Would love to have heard some more subtle settings on some of these effects. Everything had mix all the way up

@SeanPierceJohnson 5 лет назад

several of the effects were too subtle at lower Mix settings. Also, for some of them the "Mix" knob was really acting as a "Level" knob. anything below full up was not at unity gain.

@bdrums 3 года назад

I had one of these (less than a day) and the mix knob didn't work as it should on 8 of the 11 effects. It's acts as a volume on all others, but with 100% wet effect and the mix knob acting as an extra instrument or amp volume knob. ... I see that as 72.7% DEFECTIVE, as far as having a working, (and needed!) mix knob goes. If any owners question if their pedal does the same thing, turn the mix knob all the way down. (While playing), if it kills the sound as you switch through all the effects , (except the 2 Choruses and the LoFi), it's the same.

@darrenvader8597 2 года назад

I've just got one and there's a noticeable dulling of the overall tone, including when it's off (not true bypass). I mainly got it for the tap tempo, which would be useful if you could set it to 8ths or 16ths for tremelo, but to get it to a decent speed you have to tap stupidly fast. I've gone straight back to the Donner Mod Square which is similar - no tap tempo but it is true bypass and keeps the tone nicely

@SeanPierceJohnson 2 года назад

that's too bad man. i haven't found it to dull the tone. some of the effects do lose some signal but...anyway. at least you have something that works

@RobertMcDonald_trz 4 года назад

@RabidChasebot 2 года назад

Do you know whether or not your dry signal has an analog passthrough? One thing that annoys me about my Line 6 DL4 is that the ENTIRE signal gets converted to digital and back to analog again and it's a very noticeable degradation in tone. Especially due to the cheap 20 year old digital A/D converters used. The writing on this pedal looks like it would be impossible to read in low-light situations too but at least I can repaint it! Great demo btw!

@SeanPierceJohnson 2 года назад

Thanks! I don’t really know it has analog dry thru or not. I personally don’t worry too much about that; if it sounds good and feels good to play I’m generally good. And I dunno, I still have my DL4 and it works for me.

Isn't Sonicake also Valeton? Is the 5th Dimension basically a re-packaged Valeton Coral Mod CME-1 ?

@SONICAKE 5 лет назад

Not actually... But we did get a little bit of inspiration from Coral Mod... We figure that is indeed a true value proposition with that format of pedals of packing so much into such a little enclosure. But we do know the Valeton people in person. They have a great team up there with great products. Hats off to the Valeton team!

@SeanPierceJohnson 2 года назад

@deviationblue 2 года назад

Just bought it for bass, it’s going to replace an MXR Phase 90. Arrived today, practice next week. We’ll see what my results are, and of course your mileage may vary. On bass you’re really only gonna use one modulation effect at a time. So having eleven of them on a switcheroo like this in a 1590A enclosure would really be an asset. One thing that is nice is that they sent a die-cut piece of Velcro formed to the bottom of the pedal, with circular cutouts for the screws(!)
