  • Unboxing and review of the Sonicake Black Hammer. Is it a metal monster for less than $100? You decide if it is an effects pedal that meets that claim with some scary metal tones.
    They say it can do everything from 80's Hard Rock to Djent and everything in between, but what do you think? Is this a dual rectifier amp head in a $100 box?
    My solid state Marshall lead 100 was a huge disappointment to me when I was 15 and looking for my first Marshall tones as it is one of the loudest by totally CLEAN amps I have ever played and I could never get it to break up without using my Boss Heavy Metal pedal, which incidentally sounded great with it. So the big test was to see if this multi-effects unit could make this loud solid state head sound like the tube amp tone I hoped it would be all those years ago.
    A special for all you metal heads out there (including me!)
    Enjoy Djents!!!!!
    :o)
    Thanks for watching and take good care folks!
    You have but one life - live and enjoy it. Peace :o)

    Think Sonicake has something going here. They, along with Mooer are showing what you can have for not a lot of money. I have the Twiggy Blues (because of your demo) and am still having fun with it. Keep 'em coming!

    ROTFLMAO, excellent theme for the item reviewed, looked like a million dollar presentation!!
    Seriously, these Sonicake pedals are excellent value for the money. Move over big boys (or lower your prices :) ), Sonicake is in town!! Great vid, CGS.

    I have the rockstage one and it is super great sound and value ($55 new from AliExpress). Super compact compliment to a plain dry tube amp. It take space equal to a guitar strap in the gig bag.

      Cheers mate. Yes I was going to send it direct to the power amp return until I found that this old amp has a single stereo socket send and return. I may make up a cable and give it a try if it's popular. 👍😎

      I’ve listened to the track it sounds amazing. Is that your vocals on the record? If so I wouldn’t change it sounds great. I can hear influences such as Bob Dylan vocally and guitar wise I can hear John Mayer and the Beatles combined absolutely love the track

    Super nice demo, but you abused the hell out the chorus settings. Otherwise, you get a really good estimate on what this baby can do and the range of sound it can create.

      No it would sound fine because it would be a cabinet. You would need one to go direct into a sound board.
