SONICAKE Acoustic Pedal Guitar Effect Acoustic Pedal (Amazon Affiliate Link) - amzn.to/3HLNYoH
Thanks for the review on this. I decided to buy one following your demo of it. My favourite features in it are the tap tempo on the delay and chorus, makes them so user friendly. I like the effects and tend to use the preamp and reverb with my acoustic and then kick in chorus for effect. I’ve even used this pedal with my bass. Oh and I was impressed with the extra long cable on the power adapter.
Yes it’s a nice unit. Enjoy!
Thank you mate for real good review. Heared more than expect.
I have this pedal and I use it on the nano mag side of my Les Paul Ultra. I originally bought it for my acoustic electric guitar. I recently added the blue screamer overdrive by Sonicake to the mix. Band practice tomorrow will be fun. 🤘🏼
Really good video on an affordable pedal I'll buy for my Godin guitar with LR Baggs Piezo + Mic pickup system. Inspiring !
I believe that reverb is essential for acoustic guitar, but, my favorite is delay, especially if it can support stereo output. When you split the signal with delay, it opens up the acoustic and makes it bigger sounding in an intimate setting.
Nice detailed video.
My personal favorite effect, except reverb that is a must have, is tremolo. I just love it, it gives a certen vibe and it is so distinct!!

On my acoustic rig my favorite most used effects are delay, overdrive, bosssy1 synth and a tiny bit of chorus.
I have to agree that the darker analog delay is the right fit for acoustic guitar. Just that subtle delay makes a room feel bigger and helps you relax on stage. Yep, delay would be my favorite.
@Aaron Short Music you might want to read the other reply above. Ms Bag_O_Day_Crochet1 seems questionable??
Thanks for the review! My favorite effect for acoustic is a big ambient reverb to fill in the background when playing solo.
Great review Aaron. You didn't demo the Reverb [hold down the pedal] for reverb tails function, would have liked to see/hear that.
I really like the fact that these effects are restrained, nicely suited for acoustic gigging. I have binned (sold-off :) a lot of grossly overpowered acoustic effects that are dangerously uncontrollable for live use, either a massive spike in volume when you hit the pedal or they sounded like a naff parody of an electric guitar so this is refreshing. The XLR socket DI box function could be so useful, if a venues PA also provides foldback speakers or with radio in-ear monitors, the sound going through a balanced XLR (mic) cable straight into the usually top quality mic peamps in a decent mixer desk could (should) be phenomenal. A suggestion: It would be easy to make this pedal run off the phantom power from the mixer desk like a proper DI Box, rather than needing a separate 9V PSU or a battery, this would greatly extend its usefulness for beginner live performances with affordable gear.
I've tried other effects but, being a traditionalist, I always end up liking a bit of reverb nearly exclusively. Second would be a slight delay.
Pro reviewer! Have sat through many painful-to-watch reviews by other yahoos for a tidbit here and there. Subbed. Thank you!
Thank you for the support!
I would’ve said reverb before watching your video, but now I think I like the thickness that a delay adds, too! Thanks!
I bought one just to use mainly as a direct out, but I like the effects a lot. The preamp shaping is to my liking. I use a Gretsch Jim Dandy fitted with a Bill Lawrence sound hole pickup. I prefer this solution to under the saddle because I hate the thwacky sound. This pedal is perfect for soundhole magnetic pickups imo.
Thanks for sharing!
I have a 12 string acoustic that I would use Reverb at 9 o'clock along with Delay at 1 pm. and a wee bit of Chorus at 9. All three combined.
I look for a reliable quality effects pedal that is simple to use and help to enhance finger picking style. Stereo is a must for a big sound coming from a single acoustic guitar. Maybe one that supports two inputs from two separate pickups as well. Also helps if a single pedal can do it all and can send R/L signals to the main PA.
Fantastic review> Thanks so much for posting this.
Thank you I enjoyed this one!
Wonderful review and thoughts. I use a pedal board or a Tech21 acoustic fly rig, for light gigging. I tend to keep it simpler, lighter on the effects AND...simpler in terms of gear. A single multi pedal using a single power input is just so convenient.
One advantage of this pedal....separate chorus and delay. The Tech21 can only have one or the other at a time (the delay on the Tech21 is excellent). With a combination of reverb, delay and chorus...you can sort of get flanger.
Not a lot of discussion on those, but a simple, all in one pedal can be great, in that setting. These pedals draw so little that you can use a 9VDC batt with the right connector to power it for the few songs you will be doing.
Have looked for a reasonably priced (under $300), low power draw, fairly compact multi-effects pedal for acoustics that has EQ, chorus, delay, reverb....not seeing many.
My favorite acoustic guitar effect is reverb, then delay, and finally chorus in that order.
My singer uses one of these. Powers off of a rechargeable battery so he can literally put it anywhere. Sounds nice too.
I have two Sonicwoods, one I keep in the gig bag and one on my board. I'm running a Fishman Black Jack passive and it sounds great. It's sound quality is right on par with my NUX Stageman floor, but the Sonicwood is a better and more affordable deal than the NUX. Pair it with an EQ and your good to go.
I generally like reverb, but on this pedal I like the delay. Thanks for the informative review.
I agree with your evaluation 100%. My favorite acoustic effect is the TC Body Rez. Similar effects like Boss acoustic resonance don’t work as well.
Excellent review. Thanks mate.
Well done review. My favorite effect for acoustic is hands down the TC Electronic BodyRez
I have the bass version of this and it is amazing - looking at picking this up to use with my mandolin.
Wow for this price I've gotta get/win one. I love the using chorus and Reverb together for an acoustic guitar. Great review. Thanks.
Looks like a great product, and not too expensive. I like a little chorus effect for my acoustic guitar.
I gigged with one of these when everything opened back up in Scotland after Covid and it was super reliable. I eventually upgraded to a NUX pedal, but the Sonicake was great. I had the Twiggy Blues one for electric too, which my son now has. But as far as favourite effects for acoustic goes, it has to be my looper.
What's the model of the nux pedal?
@@paolo-1283, iit's likely to be the "NUX Stageman Floor Acoustic Preamp DI Pedal". Hope that helps.
Nice sounding, affordable pedal. Looks like it's small enough to put in the gig bag. I usually use a good preamp and a little reverb.
Great video might check one of these out
I have a DCM Martin with a fishman pickup. Do you think it will sound good? I somewhat am confused on passive and active pickups through the preamp. Mine is active. Thankyou
It’s going to soften the mids a little. I think it will work well with under-saddle pickups.
I’d have to go with reverb followed by chorus, but I love just testing different effects
This seems to be a great tool for the specific situation. I have two acoustics with passive pickups and the D-18GE sometimes has a feedback issue depending on what equipment is used. My 40 year old Washburn has a volume and tone control and I can work around that. It has the old Barcus Barry and a K&K in the Martin.
I like a bit of reverb and maybe a hint of chorus for certain songs. I mainly hope to sound like a guitar without feedback.
I happened to listen a second time and I heard about the giveaway. Fortunately I had started reading the notes as I listened, so I was becoming aware. I shall wait to order this. I do think it would work for a specific need.
Yo ya tengo mi pedal sonicake para guitarra acústica. Suena genial
My favorite type of effect for acoustic guitar is reverb. 🤞
My favorite effect is Acoustic Resonance or Body Rez for Acoustic Guitars
A smidgen of reverb would be my favourite.
Holding the reverb button affects the tail length does it not?
Not the length but it toggles ‘trails’ on and off.
Best effects would be a little compression and reverb for me.
I use it on stage with my 6 strings bass, just need a light Chorus, some reverb sometimes, little Hi-boost for slapping.... it does the job perfectly! (for my needs anyway.)
By the way, did you find the useage of the "Tail" reverb function ?? (Seems to do ...nothing ? )
Yes it keeps the reverb going when you turn the effect off.
Ho, ok, I never noticed that ! I will try out :) Thank you @@aaronshortmusic
@@axelleaxl.5315 Let us know!
The reverb sounds good!
Reverb is first for me, then compressor and chorus
I like reverb, sometimes some delay.
Have to go with the Strymon Deco
Maybe a stupid question... but does the Sonic Wood work with a magnectic pickup (e.g. Harley Benton TrueTone SH-20 Singlecoil)? Sorry i am a total newbie to pedals etc., only playing acoustic guitar since 4-5 months and i would love to buy the Sonic Wood! Thx all
Yes it will work the same way for the kind of effects it has. Only IR-type effects are piezo specific.
I mainly use reverb and delay
I think Reverb is my favorite but I have not tried all of them
This stuff misses 2 things: a booster knob for the preamp, and a looper. That is wjy I do not go for it. The other thing is that I have a Cube Sugar (same concept, same Chinese stuff), and honestly, its reverb, chorus section is quite mediocre.
I would like a looper too but it would substantially increase the price and also the power consumption.
I have read THREE reviews stating this unit produces INTOLERABLE amounts of WHITE NOISE to an amp (or PA), and at "band level" (higher volume) is noisy BEFORE even plugging a guitar into it. :( One person even exchanged unit for multiple units, and ALL had the same issue. Could someone respond to this please?
Mine did not. If it did I would have shown it. The first unit I received was defective but the replacement was fine.
Interesting 🤔
Cool review, but can I use an electric guitar, and will sound like an acoustic?
You can use an electric guitar but it won’t make it sound like an acoustic.
@@aaronshortmusic K, thank you. I thought so
Gotta be reverb!
I use a K&K in a Martin 0-18. I like using very little reverb and some delay.
Do I have to send you my details now per Email or only if picked?
Only if you win.
@@aaronshortmusic then I would like to win please 🤔🤣♥️
@@mrplitsum Good luck!!!
@@aaronshortmusic ♥️🎤🎼🎹🎸
Reverb
Great demo ......i have one of these and it is really great for it's price point. I use it with my acoustasonic stratocaster .....and i use the preamp quite a bit ( as well as all the effects...) even though my fender has a premium preamp in it but the preamp on the sonicake is a really great and improves the sound . I also love that i can pull the sonicwood off the board and throw it in the gig bag for running as a D.I. for quick jam sessions . Built like a tank and lovely sounding
Thanks for sharing!
