The Sonicake Rockstage! Direct only! No Amp!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- The Rockstage is a 4 in 1 effect box offering chorus, distortion, delay, and reverb! The sounds combined are perfect for Zakk Wylde, EVH, and any other heavy rock and metal tones! It also has a built in cab sim for going direct or into a PA system. Let me know what you think below!
Rockstage - amzn.to/344wsHz
•
The elec guitar is a Gibson 1960s tribute with an M&V Humbucker in the bridge and a stock Gibson p90 in neck.
•
The amp is a Tyler Amps JT14, which sounds similar to a vintage Fender Princeton but with a little more low end and body!

Thanks for actually demoing this effect, and not hiding it under layers of backing tracks, or spending the entire video "showing off". THIS is how an effect demo video should be done. We can actually HEAR it!
Lawrence Genereux thanks so much! Really appreciate it! I try to control myself from not going over board with riffs haha
Couldn't agree more. I'm convinced enough to actually buy it now.
Peace
Hope you enjoy it!
Agree. Excellent demo. Covered all the bases in nice sonic & visual display. Very relevant to actual guitar players. I gotta get one of these now - Sonicake owes you a commission!
Haha thank you!! I’m all for that! Gotta let these Sonicake folk hear that! 😏😂
definitely one of the best reviews of this. as others have said, just the device, each effect is shown seperately first, and you show more what can be done with effects, than purely playing full on solo's. Great playing and demo-ing :)
Thanks so much! It’s always my goal to make the gear the star over my playing. Appreciate that a lot!
One of the best reviews I've ever seen. Less talk more show. I'll buy one of that. ❤️
Thanks so much!! I just wanted to make demos how I want them. Not 5 mins of introducing the thing haha
I loved your other vid on this pedal so I’ll just add that I agree that it sounds fantastic as a direct to PA option. Great demo playing and useful comments! I’m currently using a Boss ME-80 in preset mode but as a backup, this could work very well with just one additional pedal, probably a low gain overdrive. Thanks for a great video!
its really an amazing small powerful floor guitar effects it sounds very good
Nice video and helpful. Tomorrow I'll get mine👌🏽
I run mine directly into my studio speakers in my workshop as I have no need to record with it and boy it does a great job emulating that British sound. So no need to lug my amp around just use this!
Great demo! Thank's!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!!
So I was curious about this little box. You did a good job demo'ing it , so I subbed.
Appreciate it a ton! Thank you! :)
Based on this review (thanks again!), I purchased one of these effects processors. You have no idea how small it actually is until you get the box, open it, and realize that nearly 1/4 of the box is taken up by the included power supply. The effects are every bit as good as demoed here, and can even do things not shown in this video. The delay can repeat so fast at it's maximum speed setting that it can be used as a second reverb if desired. The chorus can rotate so slowly that it nearly stands still, while greatly thickening the sound. The distortion can be used as an absolutely clean boost and/or additional tone control at it's lowest gain setting. For what this costs, it's a must-have.
Lawrence Genereux it’s def feature packed! Thanks again for the kind words! Hope you enjoy your new gear! :-)
Great review
Durbervilles1 thanks so much!!
I've got a new addiction coursing through my veins!!! Please don't help me.
Great review, loved it with the reverb, so ordered one straight away!.. £54 on ebay..
Chris Cutmore appreciate the kind words! Hope it works out for you! :)
Great sounds!
Glad you liked it!
@@aaronjlivecchi have u ever used it live, in a gig?
Rodrigo Ribeiro Telecaster I haven’t. Just at home
Thanks for the video. I think I’m sold!
Glad you found it helpful!
How does it take other pedals in front? Other distortions to be specific. Thanks for the demo!!!
thepajamajammma I haven’t paired it with other high gain pedals. But I did try it with the Twiggy Blues and it stacked fairly well with the right eq adjusting. Thank you! Hope that helps!
Aaron J Livecchi the chorus, delay, and reverb sounds nice. My only reservation from pulling the trigger on one is how good the distortion. Hope to see more reviews/demo on it like yours. Thanks!!!
Can the Rockstage be adjusted to imitate the sounds of David Gilmore? I am totally new to guitars and apologize if it's a stupid question. I noticed the Rockstage seems to have the same effects of a pedal costing 3 times as much, but that's as far as my observations take me. Thank you for your time.
Hard to say. With some tweaking you could probably get a little bit there.
Could this be used like the Sonicake guitar headphone amp plug_in?
deltafour1212 to my understanding no. The output is for going to an amp or direct.
would it perform OK when using an acoustic guitar with built in active pickup ?
mckinstray the distortion probably wouldnt sound good with an acoustic. But the reverb, delay, and chorus could prob sound ok with it. The cab sim toggle is really more about going direct with an electric guitar to simulate an electric amp. And it Probably wouldnt be needed with an acoustic in a PA.
Hope that helps!
Many Thanks
I bet it would sound good in the FX loop of an amp or FX loop of an Acoustic pre-amp box/pedal. I have a BBE Acoustimax which has an FX loop...
Hey man.. This effect can be mixed with other OD etc?
Yes! It can
@@aaronjlivecchi means i put the OD before the chorus right? Thanks for this vid btw, i will purchase this one 😬
You’re welcome! Hope it works out for you!
I run the sonicake through my effects loop and my drive pedals through the front. I use the amp's OD channel or with it clean and an OD pedal. I'm not a big fan of the Rockstage's drive channel....but going direct into a PA it's pretty good.
Thank you for demoing it directly into the mixer. Was the mixer channel all at 12 o'clock?
It was just into an interface. Not sure I understand the question.
@@aaronjlivecchi Ok. I thought you played it through a sound system. But sounds great anyways. Tnx.
Gonzalo Castillo it was straight into an interface. But this is essentially the same type of tones you can get. It’s an accurate general idea
@@aaronjlivecchi tnx for the feedback. I play restaurants and bars and sometimes travel. These are the 4 effects pedals I carry with me with my amp. The sonicake would save me a lot of load.
Cool! Hope it works out for you
What about the sonicake black hammer?
Sergio Rincón I haven’t had any personal experience with that one. I’d imagine it’s build quality is similar. Just more tailored to higher gain needs. But more modern metal stuff. Not the 80s vibe this pedal is.
For sounds like Megadeth, Dream Theater or something like that, this sonicbar rockstage would be fine? My amp is a Laney Cub series
Sergio Rincón the gain amounts may not be MegaDeath level. Close. Maybe throw a boost in front of this to take you there. Or a super low gain drive.
How durable is the pedal? Could it be played daily at home and then carried out to a venue 2-3 times per month? I looked online and it was only around $75-80. Everything else close to this in functionality is $100-300.
Jason Lewis I can’t say I’ve gigged with it a ton. A fair amount of use at home however. It does feel very sturdy. That was actually something I noticed when I first picked it up. It didn’t feel cheap. If you know what I mean? Hope that helps.
Aaron J Livecchi yes thanks!
The other alternative would be something like a Zoom MS-50G which is smaller and much more versatile but less straightforward and not so easily tweakable. Sound quality is similar. I have the Sonicake Twiggy Blues and the Zoom: both have their uses
eh i returned this pedal after a month. the gain was very noisy through amp and i didn't like how the chorus was put first so if u wanted to use other pedals, was a bad idea. my only problem with these type of pedals is that they dont wanna be shared with other pedals, inotherwords u get what u paid for.
Ah sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you :/ yea these kinda pedals are for super specific needs for sure.
I clicked because of the thumbnail kinda megaman x sounding 8:15
Not bad,, this is cheap pedal?
ArdiNugroho sorta. It’s $80 roughly on amazon. But that’s for 4 effects
Aaron J Livecchi pretty cheap ,, its will be perfect if the overdrive pedal exist
Donner alpha series sound much better
Daniel Krenn I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with those
