So maybe you recognize this modeler from the myriad other brands who sell it with a different colored enclosure and a different name. Yes, they are 100% the same (I have used the Donner brand of it as well). But don't let the fact that this is a white box (I guess that's the term?) product dissuade you from giving it a shot. For the price, you really can't beat this thing. First, it's powered by a rechargeable battery, so no need to keep it plugged in or use AA's like the somewhat-equivalent Line 6 pedal. I love that because I can relocate it around the house or take it with me on a road trip without having to be near a power outlet. The enclosure is made of medal (again, unlike the Line 6 Pod Express) and seems pretty sturdy. Is it "blindly stomping on a pedalboard" sturdy? Can't say for sure, but I don't see why not. At this price, you're not getting a touchscreen, but it's easy to navigate from the device itself (though kind of tough to find the general settings). There is also a Mac/Windows app that lets you program the modeler, but (the Mac version at least) is only available via the M-VAVE site, and I suppose it depends on your fear of non-Apple-sanctioned software from China whether or not you install it. It's not needed, but it certainly makes creating presets easier. As for the sound, it sounds great, and I'll add the qualifier "for the price" because that does matter, and frankly, it sounds better than modelers twice the price. It's got a great selection of amps, pedals, and cabs that will keep you busy for a while. The tuner is accurate and easy to use. I also like the the cab sim can be turned off with a dedicated button (as can any of the blocks) on the device when I want to push it through my power amp. Really, there's not a lot of negatives. I suppose the interface could be cleaner, but the learning curve is much less steep than the more expensive models. I wish the software could be obtained from legit sources, or that there was a legit Android app. The built-in presets, like most modelers, aren't great, but they are passable and provide a good base for your own tweaking. I passed my Donner version on to a friend and regretted it, so I was happy to receive this and plan to hang on to it. Read more

I'm not going to do into an in depth analysis of the audio quality of this because frankly there are a ton of videos online talking about it if you want to do deep dives. It's all most people need, but not as much as everyone wants. What I will say is that I received this in a nice package, with everything in perfect condition. I charged it up and was able to use it right away. It packs a ton of capability into a little metal box for a very reasonable price. There are some limitations but overall the whole thing is straightforward and works surprisingly well. The stand-out feature is the ability to use Neural Amp Models to replicate the tone of existing real amps. I wasn't able to explore this in full depth because I suspect it's the sort of feature you can explore for months, but you can profile an amp, load the profile into this, and have a 97% or so accurate clone of that amp (at those specific settings). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do any profiles because my primary music composer is a mac and I don't think there is mac software. A personal confession: I have tried a stack of these multifx options now, including the Sonicake Pocket Master, M-Vave's Cube-Baby, a Sonicake Amp with built in multifx, Donner, Joyo, a stack of traditional pedals and I've tried other mid-tier effects processors. I may have a problem. But the conclusion I've come to after trying all of those is that there is always going to be a bigger, more expensive, more capable unit out there, but the cheap units are surprisingly good now. What differentiates them, more than anything else, is the features. The Sonicake Pocket Master has stereo output. This has foot switches and a metal case. But all of them can be dialed in to sound good, or bad. Some are a little better in one way or another, but the differences aren't like they used to be. If you want a little box to take on gigs, or as a backup, but you don't want to dedicate the space to a full pedal board or larger multifx unit, this could be your answer. I wouldn't use it for studio recording but for most live settings I think it would be good enough. If you have the budget (money or space) for something bigger, you will get more...more effects, more switches, more features. You can also get better tone (though that's not guaranteed) but sometimes all you need is good enough, in a portable form that is convenient to use where you need it. That's where this shines.

The first things to know are that this thing is made out of metal, seems really well made, and has a built in rechargeable battery that you can plug in with any phone charger. It also has DI out. I say that up front because those are going to be important qualities to anyone wondering if this thing is "giggable". Would I gig with it? Maybe, actually. It's rugged enough. It sounds good enough. It's easy enough to use, if not a quite optimized for that. But I'm the sort who will have to live with it for a while before I'd trust it for that. I think I'd be that way about any piece of gear, actually. I won't go through the sound too much - you can find what this sounds like on youtube in about 10 seconds. It sounds... pretty good! If you have a modeler that's a few years old... probably like that. If you have the latest and greatest.. not quite that good. It's certainly of a quality that I'd use it for demos, maybe for some recordings where it wasn't up front and center. It's probably fine, but I'm going to admit I've been using the same Marshall since the 90s, and this can sound pretty much like it, and that's all I really want most of the time. I could dial in an AC30 and a Twin and a Dual Rectifier type sound, though, and they were really fun. I certainly played "Tie your mother down" a few times.. There's more effects here than you can shake a stick at. It's got one of everything you're likely to want, and it would cost you thousands to buy enough cheap analog pedals to get all the same things, so this is a pretty good deal if you don't already have all those pedals. There's a few things you could do to improve the user experience, but to be honest that would drive up the cost, and I think this is in a great "value for money" sweet spot. I will say I do think the reverbs are good, those are usually the ones that stand out to me as fake with modelers, but these ones sound decent to my ear, in person. Read more
