- Sonicake has been offering budget effects units for a while now, and with this new offering they are stepping into the multi-effects and amp modeling world. But is it any good for the price?

It’s an amazing time to be a guitar player.
When I started playing in 1985, anything “budget” meant “garbage” with very few exceptions.
Now, a player can rig-up for under a grand and sound good.
can`t remember anything good and budget even from 2007 (when I started). But the last decade was just insane, a massive leap for guitarists
Hell, maybe even under $500 bucks you can get a decent guitar rig.
There are a few micro amps out that actually kick ass!!!! Diezel, and Soldano to just name two.....get one of them, then get a Harley Benton 2x12 cab, and you got your self a very decent guitar rig for right around $500 bucks ( give or take a few bucks.... probably more give)......
I agree. This unit plus a decent playing guitar and you are still well under a grand. Say $600-700.
I whole heartedly agree. I mean I’m the third generation of players from my old man’s side so I’ve seen and used gear that was hand me downs all the way back from the 60’s, so having what I have access to at 25 years old today, I do feel very fortunate to be able to take it all in. My old man had to spend summers and school vacations working in scrap yards and construction yards to be able to afford a Marshall half stack and a real Gibson Les Paul custom when he was 17 because the Cort guitar and crappy Amp he had at the time just wasn’t up to scratch. So for me to be able to go out, I bought a nice Boss Katana head, the artist one for $500 and with my Donner Arena which has another $200 and my Epiphone Les Paul custom(that was a gift) it all sounds amazing!
Mine arrived today and all I can say is thank you Taylor. Your video helped me make a decision that I have zero regrets about. This fixes my void for decent metal tones. The Eng 120 preset, love it. I have only begun to play around with it. Again, I owe it to you and this video. You are awesome dude. I look forward to more of your content. You rock!!!
Finally a review of this device showing metal tones. Sounds good to me. Im definitely getting one now. Good stuff as always my dude 🤘🏽🔥
Your transparency is refreshing, sir!
Awesome review. I saw this the other day and thought about getting one just to have something fun to play around with at home. I might pick one up now.
Damn, most of the stock IRs in this thing are better than my Pod Go I'd say! Pretty cool considering this is even cheaper.
Sonicake killing it with this unit, holy cow!! No budget at all so this is my go-to-unit based on this great video! Ace!
Good innit mate
Pleasant metal tones on the presets for a change
The Nux mg400 which I bought recently has really cool computer graphics to go along with the numerous amp sims and other stuffs it came with.
This may not have such lovely graphics but it sure has some really great sounding tones.
Moreover, 90 minutes of looping in her looper is a great item to have especially if you wanna utilize it for songwriting.
Last but not least, great review.
Genuinely I do wish this was available when i first started playing in 2010.
I spun my wheels so much and for soo long with DigiTech not knowing how to get close to what I really wanted until I bought a small vox combo amp (one of the white Brian May ones)
It's on my wishlist since I first heard of it. Super affordable, super small, quite nice tones.
Just got mine today!! I made the right choice thanks to this video. Coming from a GE200 down to this wasn't a mistake. The cabs and amp models sound better on the matribox to my ears. You're the only video on youtube that does this pedal justice. This pedal low key slays. Especially for metal. Even the cleans are great too. A mini beast it is lol. Keep rocking my man, u have great content 🔥
Can the patches be moved to different preset locations for example a clean you like moved next to a dirty sou d you like to save scrolling through ten patches mid song
I did too! Is there no off switch, or way to bypass the pedal..???
@@hellogellojello there's no on & off switch. It comes with a AC adaptor
@@ChakraOver9k still think it's better than the ge200? My mooer just died and I'm looking for another budget unit to use for home practice. These things are super low priced.
@@altpath get it man, it's still very awesome indeed 🔥
Great review! I wanted something to noodle around with, with headphones. There are so many now on the market and the technology is pretty mind-blowing. The 90 sec looper is pretty much what sold me, since the entire thing is the cost of a loop pedal. It was nice to hear the amps and cabs tho, solidified my choice, thanks!
Cool! Always wanted to try the wah, seems realy cool!!!
Love the screen color, gives it a 90's feel to it
Bought this one as a Cheap multi FX to get the Compressor, Pitch shifter, Noisegate and IR Loader in one unit so i can size down my pedal board wich had all of them as standalone pedals.
when i got it i tried pairing the Matribox VTBass amp (ampeg VT Clone i suppose) with my own EBS 4x10 IR and then ran it through my darkglass B7K pedal and it sounds so fucking HUGE! Beyond satisfied with it for bass and cant recommend it enough (and im using the pitch shifter live to transpose my 5 string from Drop A to Drop E when the guitarists switch to their 8 string guitars and you can't tell that there should be a latency issue, atleast not in our case!)
And i love that you can turn the cabsim off to have a separate Chain going from the matribox to a Amp if you want the IR loaded on the chain to your IEM System and then the clean signal without a IR running to your Amp on stage to get the bass pumping up there!
Hey I find you channel and become fun again to play guitar after 20 years and buy stuff to start again
Bought one of these, arrived yesterday. I think it may give the tonez a small run for its money, crazy good for the price point
Sounds awesome dude, for 129 bucks, Total win. Great video man.
Another toy for me to play with. Getting this one for sure.
That sounds really good for what it is better then my zoom gx4 I only use it for a tuner and boost for my backup rig
I bought this because i play so many genres of music, from thrash to symphonic, deathrock to sludge and doom, from funk to goth and rock n roll. This little unit was perfect for me although i did run into some issues.
Notably the JC120 amp kinda sucks because if you boost it, itll clip like crazy.
Buying this seriously downsized my pedalboard and i might actually downsize it a bit more today.
That warrior with reverse headstock is a dream
I think the bogner cab sounded th best but how is the low end? Like is it pushing the bass?
Imagine playing that on your next metal-gig!😅
Definitely what I am going to do 🤟🍻🖖🤘
yep, pretty interesting. I'm from the 80's generation. All I got from this era then was a JCM800 that cost me a lot of $$$. I didn't know $hit and I didn't have much reference for gear setup... I was going to forget. I got the Korg A3 too that was descent.
Another choice-paralysis box. Nice!
Wow sounds killer!! Holy shit!
Taylor, you like boost pedals. Every try the Artec Parametric pedal ($45-60)? I put it in Grind area, but more versatile.
Over ten years ago Zoom and digitech both offered a unit this same size for $220! Not only does this Sonicake "Matribox" cost Half what that Zoom and digitech did back then but has more features and sounds a hundred times better!
This thing is awesome for the money! Both the Zoom and Digitech sounded very Digital and buzzy compared to this unit!
😢 I would have been happy with this unit back in the 90's as a beginner kid...we would use anything we could get our hands on. Even mic-up Roland micro cubes 😂 so this unit would have kick ass.
Just ordered one going into a marshal origin 20 with a 2x12 cab
what gauge of strings do ya use for std c and d i use 42 and i still get fret buzz on just d std
11:54 Awesome!
The interface is also similar to the Valeton GP100.
hey taylor out of curiosity what is actualy powering the sonicake ? and what speaker are you using ?
Yeah Sonicake pedals are amazing for the price... but I don't know how long they will last for. Their Noise gate is way better than my Boss Ns-2 which surprised me.
I have their sonic ir loader, used it both without or with amp and it sounds amazing.
How do u guys get to use amp and cab sim? really confused rn do use an amp or nah?
GA = Grand Auditorium. Acoustic guitar.
Mag delay is based on the old school tape delays.
Does it have anything besides metal? Like pleasant amp models?
Yo good demo can this be plugged into an amp
the 2nd version actually looks awesome for 229
Is it possible to turn the amp/cab off and just use the FX? Maybe doing less processing could help the pitch shifter latency if you were using a real amp?
That makes sense
Yes you can turn everything off except the one effect you want. The pitch shifter on this is kinda limited but everything else is.good.
Do you think this or the Nux 30 is better?
Where did you get the cradle?
Hey Taylor, I recently formatted my computer and because I'm super dumb I ended up losing all of my impulse responses, including your Mesa 4x12 OS, which was basically my go to one. Even though I managed to retrieve some of them, I searched for your IR on older videos, but the Dropbox link expired.
Is there any chance you can make that available for us again?
There’s not, all that data is gone from a computer migration I made a while back. Luckily, I have a better IR of that cabinet in my Discord under the free IR section, so you can snag that (maybe a couple others… can’t remember…) there!
@@TaylorDanley Thanks man, you rock
Well, its tone is at about the level of the Amplitube 3. Which is nice, considering how cheap it is. I'm still a solid state death metal junkie, who'd rather bring light analog SS head (SNK and Hughes & Kettner are magicians in this department, you can just put them in a backpack and they'll provide you with 200-300 Watts of brutality) or a preamp to run into the fx return of whatever head the venue provides, but that's the luxury of owning rare and not-so-cheap gear. If you need something that costs and next to nothing, sounds decent and has effects built in, then hell yeah, this kicks ass.
I paid 90 on the Sonicake website
Can the patches be moved to different preset locations for example a clean you like moved next to a dirty sou d you like to save scrolling through ten patches mid song
Yes there's a Factory bank of 99 in addition to a User bank of 99 that you can edit and move into any order you want, plus change names and everything
If you had to choose this or the mooer ge150. Which one are you going with?
Im using mooer ge 150 and been using it 2 years. And i love mine, been using it for tour and all the stuff. But honestly idk which better
@@infolalulintas3511 sweet! I think maybe the mooer would be better because it has more options.
Se puede cambiar la cadena de efectos? Can you change the effects chain?
Yes but I don't know how to do it without the software
Hey Taylor if you want a good laugh watch this video at 0.25x speed 😂 slowed it down to see all of the amp models.
Yeah I started to scroll through them then had to tell Derryl just to put them on screen, it’s just too many and I couldn’t really read them from the side like that lol
Pretty fuckin awesome
My buddy just bought this same pedal and I set it up to the exact specifications that you set yours in the video. The tone isn't anything close to the same. Am I missing something or did he get conned? He picked this pedal after I showed him this video. I'm the one making this comment because my buddy is blind.
It really did sound good.. I liked the bogner amp with the dual cabs, and as you stated the SLO cab sounded great.. I liked it.. I can't believe it's so inexpensive.. Very cool.. Too bad it's not made of metal and a bit more sturdy! Really, sounded good ..
May I ask what speakers you're listening thru when playing? Studio monitors I assume?
Thanks man.. Good video..
its basically a valeton gp 100
I had a sonicake "flyrig" type of pedal. Had it for about a week, sold it as fast as I could. Sounded so dull, so bad..had an "AMP behind a carpet" type of sound, almost no high end at all. first and very last gear I bought from the brand sonicake. I avoid it like plague.
God bless you
Hi you putt it directly in your Mesa boogie Box??
No he did not.
@@SleepingLionsProductions yes he did!!
@@MultiJugu No, he didn't. He uses the cab only as a stand here - it is not connected and as you may see, is not miked. Output from the device goes directly to digital audio interface for monitoring and recording.
There's no need for using "real" guitar cab with it, as the device contains its own IRs (real cabinet sound snapshots).
What it means, is that you can plug in your headphones or even your home stereo directly to the unit and get that "beefy", miked cabinet tone (just like you were using real amp and cab).
@@MultiJugu 1:50 he says it right there.
It doesn't sound as good out of certain headphones. I'm telling you this from experience. I think they have to be really flat or studio headphones.
Your black guitar is about to take off and fly. It's so Cool. But your t-shirts is not cool.
