SONICAKE Pocket Master Guitar Bass Amp Modeling IR Cabinets Simulation Multi-Effects with Stereo OTG USB Audio Interface BT Audio 1.77" LCD Color Screen Black

Over the years I've had many boxes like this all the way back to the original Korg Panadora and onwards through the various Pandora versions they made. They were all great in their own way. This doesn't move the concept on massively except in a few areas - smaller size and the inclusion of bluetooth and a built in battery.All my old headphone practice amps needed an audio cable from whatever backing source you might be playing with, but with this unit streaming wirelessly from my phone is now open to me. A huge plus.You'll still need to plug your guitar in, obviously, but that's it. The unit comes with a robust grip clip so you can attach the unit to your guitar strap. Plug in and you're good to go. The small size means menu diving is the order of the day to change parameters on the patches (of which there are plenty built in) but that's part of the fun to set up your sounds. For the price this is ridiculous value.There's built in drum tracks to play and a metronome, all the things you'd expect. These are decent quality and more than adequate for a little practice device like this. Any shortcomings (say slightly fiddly menus, small screen etc) seem pointless to mention as what else do I expect of a device this small?The performance per £ is off the chart really. I have some nice amps at home but unless I actually wanted to be heard this is what I would reach for every single time.

This sounds great to my ears. I'm using it with keyboards not guitar. The output is stereo so you can just plug in a pair of headphones for practice. It's got a built-in tuner (which is useful) and a looper which give you about 10 seconds of looping time (so will not replace a dedicated looper). You also get a simple metronome built in.The effects sound really good, and there is a lot to choose from, and you can move quite a lot of them around in the signal chain although Drive, Amp, IR, and EQ are in a fixed block.You can edit all the effects directly on the pedal (with a little bit of menu diving). It's fairly straightforward but a bit fiddly. The good thing is that you can download an app to a computer/IOS/android and edit it from a phone or tablet using Bluetooth. This is very handy and is easy to set up. You can also download 5 user IRs and NAM files for the Amp (although when using NAM files you lose the IR module - as it's probably too much of a strain on the CPU). There's a website that offers free IRs and NAM files called Tonehunt.You can also use this as a sound card for your computer - although I've not used this yet.It's powered by a built in rechargable battery which can be charged by USB-C.It's tiny, but that's part of its charm. It's well worth the money and is a third of the price of comparable multieffects pedals.I liked it so much that I ordered on for my best friend's 50th birthday.

This works well.Limited programming on the drum patterns, which you can really only access via the phone app.Also I bought this to use with my bass, and there's about four bass amp sounds, tweakable and nice, but nowhere near what's available for guitar.Solidly built and easy to navigate.More bass needed, but the bass bits are nice.Good value for money and decent effects at this price point.

A great compact multi effects unit, don't let the price fool you, it's perfect for a home studio set up, my only complaint, could do with better equipment.

SONICAKE Pocket Master!!!I am very happy to have such a wonderful product. Very compact and creative with excellent sound and many other advantages. I always thought about what kind of bag to buy to transport a guitar processor and cables, as well as a laptop, headphones and many other things for recording music while traveling. Today I understand that I do not need to have a big bag for all these things. In addition, I recently bought Sonicake 2.4G Wireless Audio System, which allows me to play the guitar without using cables, only headphones to listen to the sound of the guitar and this is very cool!!! With great respect to the developers for such wonderful things!!!

Really good product for practice and experimenting. Looper updated with 20 seconds record time! Product still receiving updates (june2025). Phone app is basic and functional, but you can do most things on the device. NAM plugins and IR captures avaliable but I've not tested them... I don't know anything about them yet. Paid £50 June 2025.

Sound quality is amazing for the price. First time use was with my travel guitar and from the first chord I was, like, wow. Loads of Sound choices I still need time to sort out things like the noise gate, I mean it has adjustable noise gate, amazing.

Some pre set effects are ok, others not so good, my main problem is with the app, every time you open it, it wants you to pay £49 or £29.99 a month for the full thing.
