This might be the greatest inexpensive multi-effects processor pedal ever. At $129, this sounds every bit as good as far more expensive alternatives. This review video will also act as a tutorial showcasing how the software works and how to customize sounds.

Very Cool, Shane, Thankyou. Have only got into pedals in past few years but Probably with hindsight wish I had just gone single multi-fx as this sounds so awesome. I still enjoy the flexibility to use/stack different effects ...... and just love trying different effect pedals. Have found some awesome Budget individual pedals that have enhanced my playing, and made guitar playing so more fun. Cheers

Seems it's getting more and more cheap and convenient to record at home. I'm a recent convert to the two notes torpedo, it's been an absolute godsend in getting me the sounds I want without being intrusive in the house or to neighbors and I've been getting the best tones I've ever had so I'm all for things like these lower cost units that give you tones like this. Absolutely makes the home recording process so much more fluid and higher fidelity rate out the gate. Recording with mics is still great and all but I think you really need to put a lot more consideration into your setup to get the most out of them.

Great demo. And it sounds pretty good too. This modeler seems to run a similar modeling engine as the Hotone Ampero 1st gen which based on my experience is among the best of the mid-low tier modelers. My Ampero plugged in the FX return is just as good as my tube preamps... If the Sonicake runs the same code, it should be an epic deal!

Nice review - I've just got my hands on the Matribox II but there doesn't appear to be an on/off switch. Does the Matribox you reviewed here have one? If not, seems a strange omission from an otherwise great pedal.

@toddflowers8052 Год назад

Reminds me of a Zoom G1X Four.... sounds great to me Shane ! Thank you for the demo and review mate !

@sweeterthananything Год назад

my first thoughts were that it might be a legit successor to the Zoom MS series while Zoom stagnates. if Sonicake release one with stereo input I’d probably buy right away, but won’t get my hopes up. for most people that’s a non-issue and all these patches sound great.

@shanewalton8888 Год назад

I think this is superior to the G1X four.

@intheblues Год назад

Thanks for the kind words, Todd. I haven't tried the Zoom G1X before but I'll take a look at it online, cheers.

@sweeterthananything Год назад

@@shanewalton8888 any multiFX with IR-loading will tend to sound better than a multiFX with the old trick of using a preset filter/EQ curve as a “cab sim.” AFAIK it seems like zoom is still doing the latter because it more or less worked well enough in their budget units for like 30 years since the 9### series to sell tons (while Tech21 also succeeded using the analog version in the SansAmp line). times change and companies don’t always adapt well enough.

@flyonwall360 9 месяцев назад

Very nice, for the price. For the past 12 years I have been using a Fender Mustang III V1. The amp can do more than I have time to figure out. I have 3 or 4 presets that I go to. The problem is when I need to tweak something I need to go to the amp and fiddle with a mono colored tiny menu screen. I really like the Fender Tone Master but in an Obiden economy I can barely feed my cat. However, this thing is obtainable and useful for making demos. Does it have Bluetooth?

You don't need a computer to get to amp options. I use this like you do, into a practice amp. You need to learn how to navigate through the options. No directions come with it to navigate it.

@dmitriopekine5402 Год назад

Matribox is not bad device for what it cost, but here are my questions to developer, that I wrote couple of times to support and never got any answer… 1. Very (extremely) low preset volume even on 100% on my headphones. Any chance to improve it with firmware update? I have NUX MG30 and my headphones are already very loud at 35-40%, with Matribox it has to be occasional up to 99% and some of them still need more like in case of AC Piezo et. 2. Looper. Any chance to implement most important looper feature, “Autostart”? Normally, after push recording button, looper start recording only when it senses guitar signal. At the moment Matribox looper starts recording immediately after button pushed, making looper function almost unusable. Can you improve it by adding autostart feature? It is very very important to have, as believe me, 90% of new guitar players going to have difficulty to use looper. 3. Drum patterns… it is a joke to listen “metal1” pattern…) It is like soundtrack from cartoon movie, but in no way metal pattern. Maybe you can rework this part as well for next update? 4. On my unit I read firmware 1.0.3, on webpage I downloaded software for v1.0.2, but on user manual it stays v1.0.4 Where can I download firmware 1.0.4? 5. Any chance to add global EQ in the next firmware update, to be able to increase volume or increase/reduce some particular frequencies for all presets at the same time? 6. Any chance to add Hi Cut and Low Cut option additional to volume for the CAB block including uploaded IRs, in the next firmware update, as it helps a lot? 7. If more presice 10 band EQ could be added? At the moment we have only one, very limited EQ in the EQ block… 8. On some presets or with particular amp-cab configurations I am getting very strong clipping effect (example BogXT Blue with Bog4x12) Even very decent increase in volume gives this effect and makes such combination almost unusable at normal volume.

@Avirothbard 11 месяцев назад

Totally agreed. I get around the clipping by tweaking the global in/out but that decreases the master volume by much. The drum patterns: oh my Lord..reminds me an old Atari game..they MUST do an update for this travesty(Zoom G3, G5 B1Four patterns are way better.)..and the drum patterns cannot be synced with a loop..still, a good unit for the price imho.

@chrisgmurray3622 Год назад

You had some effect locked on through everything ,and it made for a very small variation between presets- basically they all sounded the same from this end with what sounded like a gated room reverb reverberating all the high end noise, causing some presets to sound too bright. An easier way is to set up the basic amp and cab dry, then add reverb, delay, and or modulation to a clean and crunch and lead sounds. Maybe it was unintentional, but it brought out the worst in some tones by effecting the inherent noise floor. Anyway, nice playing as usual and looks like an interesting but of gear to risk only a small amount on. I wonder how you would rate it compared to the NU-X equivalent, which I seem to remember cost a bit more.

I'm having trouble hearing any difference between all those high-gain settings- they just sound the same- seriously! They sound like the same amp with a few eq tweaks and some effect variation. Maybe that's just the presets, and maybe it's possible to sculpt your own sounds out of them, but you shouldn't have to. Maybe they saved money by not bothering to make sny good presets?
