    Thank you for testing with an actual clean tone. Too many other RUclips demos have a tone as crunch as AC/DC, and call it clean. As such, you really don’t hear the character of the pedal they are demoing. With your videos, what you hear is what you can expect to get.
    Keep up the great work!

  • @bulletsforteeth5029
    @bulletsforteeth5029 Год назад +13

    Delay's haven't changed much over the years, I acquired a Levitate and a Sonic Cake mini Reverb/Delay, and played them next to my Boss DD-20 Giga Delay and it does the delay thing well, albeit the Boss is more versatile, but the reverb really makes the Levitate more interesting. It's a nice to have, I can kick off the Boss and kick on the Levitate, it depends on what you're doing on your set up. So if you're on a budget you can't go wrong with the Levitate or the mini Reverb/Delay, can't speak on the other pedals though, I do use a Sonicwood on my acoustic rig and feel no need to upgrade from that, so I definitely recommend Sonicake as a reputable brand that is producing some great budget offerings.

    Tough call on the Tremolo... Louder is always better, but the variety of the Sonicake lends more tonal options and faster sine wave patterns. I'm gonna cast my vote for THE WARPED DIMENSION on this one.

    I've noticed that when using modulation pedals, it's like you said. High or low, but then in between you have to treat it like a delay. Time base it. Then you could also tap on the 2&4 or 1&3 etc 6/8 would be 135 or 246 etc. Have fun!

    21:44 The Joyo/Harley Benton D-Seed (not D-Seed II) can do 6000 millisecs (that's 6 seconds!) of delay (via tap only). I tried and it's for real. You can hit a note, make yourself some coffee and come back to hear the note when taking your first sip.

    The Levitate definitely has my attention!
    The Tone Group EQ also peaks my interest as I sometimes practice the philosophy of utilizing a good EQ as boost into an overdrive or crunchy amp.
    The Warped Dimension overall was my least favorite.
    IMO the Sonicake 5th Dimension is cheaper and just as useable if not more? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    Great demo dude!

    the "flan" in flanger rhymes with "plan".
    the effect is based on resisting the outer rim (the flange) of a tape reel to vary the tape speed over the head.
    it's commonly mispronounced with a long "A".

    I hate to say it because it breaks up the mini pedal vibe - the Sonicake gets it hands down for sheer versatility. But Ryan, get Flamma to send you out the FC05, it's a mini modulation with 11 modes for only $40, same innards of the Mooer Mod Factory, and I think it's the swiss army knife for Afford-a-boards that people need to know about.

Of course the (more money than a bull can shit brigade) will rubbish these pedals. But not everyone because of other commitments can afford to go the more expensive route. There are so many cheap brands out there it is hard to make a decision and shows like yours are a huge help in that regard.

    Is it possible that for the warped dimension, the tap tempo and time knob control two separate modulation sources? That would explain the multi-modulated character. Turn down the time knob to zero, and you have only tap tempo modulation. Turn it up, and you have both.

    That you say the Levitate is very quiet (I think it was you who said that. I checked a lot of reviews!), this is a big selling point. Thanks!
