This sounds great to my ears. I'm using it with keyboards not guitar. The output is stereo so you can just plug in a pair of headphones for practice. It's got a built-in tuner (which is useful) and a looper which give you about 10 seconds of looping time (so will not replace a dedicated looper). You also get a simple metronome built in. The effects sound really good, and there is a lot to choose from, and you can move quite a lot of them around in the signal chain although Drive, Amp, IR, and EQ are in a fixed block. You can edit all the effects directly on the pedal (with a little bit of menu diving). It's fairly straightforward but a bit fiddly. The good thing is that you can download an app to a computer/IOS/android and edit it from a phone or tablet using Bluetooth. This is very handy and is easy to set up. You can also download 5 user IRs and NAM files for the Amp (although when using NAM files you lose the IR module - as it's probably too much of a strain on the CPU). There's a website that offers free IRs and NAM files called Tonehunt. You can also use this as a sound card for your computer - although I've not used this yet. It's powered by a built in rechargable battery which can be charged by USB-C. It's tiny, but that's part of its charm. It's well worth the money and is a third of the price of comparable multieffects pedals. I liked it so much that I ordered on for my best friend's 50th birthday.

Very impressed with this unit given the price. The amp models and effects sound great and the fact that it has a built in looper and metronome make it perfect for practising along with bluetooth connectivity for backing tracks. It is really small and light and could easily be stuck onto your travel guitar with velcro, although it comes with a belt clip. There are at least a dozen useable clean patches out of the box and it also has an input level control for different pickups and instruments etc. Outstanding for the price...

Great LITTLE multi effects system, funcions well through headphones, amp or computer. each preset contains effects, amp models and is customisable. contains presets for guitar and bass, rechargable battery is good for 4 to 6 hours constant use. Takes minutes to begin using but is customisable enough to take days to fully explore. small enough to fit in your pocket, one of the best multi effects boxes ive used, great value for money. Okay so nothing is perfect, the tabs take getting used to and the drum machine only works as a metronome unles connected to a computer and the screen icons need good sight or glasses,also the bluetooth is incoming only.

Great practice tool with rechargable battery. Using for both guitar and bass. App is easy to use. Battery is not lasting as advertised, more like 1hr or so. There're no internal drum loops, only meteonome. Drum tracks are in the app and playing from your phone, not the device. Also the white version looks like off white with brown buttons on photos but actually it's plain white with red buttons! Off white brown could've been a good option! Strap clip is very handy but difficult to see the screen when clipped. Overall a mighty little device with great sounds but a few features could've been better such as drums.

The unit seems very sturdy, the screen is clear and concise, versatility is stratospheric with separate usb c ports for charging and data, bluetooth connectivity for audio pass thru and patch editing - all this works flawlessly with the free Soniclink app on my phone. For practice at home, backstage noodling, onstage pre soundcheck noodling with headphones or IEMs on this is completely game changing, no more annoying band members with noisy playing, the fx, amp sims sound great to my ears. For small gigs and quick rehearsals I can just bring the pocket master along, with the easy editing and patch functionality I can rustle up sounds in no time, in rehearsals if we need to listen to phone based audio, just link up to bluetooth and problem solved. I can't believe I waited so long to get this, high quality at such a low price it's such a no-brainer!

If I'm honest, it was what I expected for the price. Its just OK. It does have an app that runs on my ipad, so that makes setting it up a whole lot easier. For its size etc. it does a reasonable job. You do have to spend a lot of time fiddling and learning how it works. The default presets are not great, most have far to much reverb or delay, but I managed to get it to sound presentable, although I don't actually use it now. It not suitable as a professional item, but fine for budding home guitarist.

Outstanding little unit. I frequently sit with headphones using this as my main practice unit. The presets are great, and playing over backing tracks with blue tooth is a breeze and a nice 20 second looper. The tones are truly amazing ; it won't replace a pedal board or a larger effects unit given that the buttons are probably best pressed by hand though you can about manage with a foot. It does play well through a speaker/amp also......line in on my Bose S1 Pro plus is lovely. Black Friday; £39 at time of writing........I may get a couple more.....one for the bedroom and kitchen !!!

Una auténtica pasada, lo uso para practicar con auriculares, gran calidad de sonido, buenas emulaciones de amplis y los efectos son suficiente para su precio, no son super buenos algunos, pero tampoco son un truño (salvo el noise gate, debería ser más fino y natural). Se controla muy bien con la app android, se puede tocar sobre backing tracks o videos de Youtube por bluetooth. La batería dura bastente (primer uso y sin cargarlo, como venía, + de 4 horas). Como guinda del pastel, carga archivos NAM (preferiblemente Full Rig, es decir, ampli+pantalla, recomendable visitar tone300.com para descargar los amplis) e IR's, 5 huecos para cada de momento, posíblemente ampliable en el futuro vía actualización de firmware. Para tocar en casa es impresionante el sonidazo que se puede tener en 2025 por menos de 60 pavos (guitarristas, el futuro ya está aquí). Recomendodo 100%. Finalmente, comparandola (en calidad de sonido sólo) con la pedalera multiefectos Mooer GE300, que tambien poseo, y costando 10 veces menos, no se queda muy atrás. Vamos, que se podría grabar con con el bicho perfectamente un disco y sonaría de la ostia, aunque no es para eso, es para tocar tirado en sofá con sonido FullHD a lo Petrucci jajajaja!

I don't write a lot of reviews but this unit is a fantastic deal. The quality of the available sounds are unbelievable, at this price point. It's a very compact unit that I highly recommend. It sounds great, it's inexpensive and it runs off a built-in battery! I bought it for travel but I'm actually going to be using it at home a lot and it might end up replacing another unit I have, entirely. The ability to load NAM profiles, at this price point, is a welcome surprise. My main interest with this unit was the ability to load NAM profiles. If that is your main interest, here are the steps I took, with my Apple devices. While these are the steps I took, I still recommend reading the manual, first. These steps should be similar for Windows and Android but your mileage may vary. 1. went to Sonicakes' website and downloaded and installed the pocketMaster software on my Mac computer (NAM profiles were added in a firmware update). I also download the firmware update and the manual. 2. powered up the PocketMaster and hooked it up, by USB, to my Mac. 3. used the software to update the firmware. 4. downloaded the Soniclink app on my iPhone. 5. enabled bluetooth on the PocketMaster and launched the App, pairing my iPhone with the unit. 6. went to the Tone Hunt website and looked for NAM profiles to download to my phone. 7. went to the amp button, in the app. 8. under mode, I clicked on the Clone tab. 9. selected "import clone" and navigated to the unzipped folder and choose the NAM profile to import. 10. selected one of the 5 available slots that said 'empty,' in the app, and pressed "import." 11. tried several NAM profiles in the patch patch I was in to see how they sounded. Final thoughts: I'm blown away by the ease of use, functionality and tones, at this price point. I wasn't keen on some of the presets but every unit I've ever tried was like that. It's a a simple thing to tweak, until they sound good. Frankly, my main purpose was to use NAM profiles with effects and I'm very pleased with how that sounds. The effects are excellent. I wish looper was longer than 10 seconds but the drum patterns and ability to jam along to Youtube Videos on my phone, is all I needed. The PocketMaster is selling out for reason.

Great little product. Added some Ownhammer IRs and this tiny thing competes with my pod go. Just edit the presets easily and intuitively till you get the sound you want. Tried the N.A.M. files on this... they work, but, i prefer just using the presets i make it. Highly recommend 👌

小さい、軽い、安い、USB-c充電、オーディオインターフェースにもなる、チューナーにもなる、btで音を拾える、ヘッドホン直挿しできるリズムマシンつき、ベース用のエフェクターがある、かわいい、設定とかせんでもプリセットで音がそこそこいい。 これでいいですもう。コードからも重さからも解き放たれよう。エフェクターボードを捨てよう。

The device has just enough DSP hardware to get a variety of tones. The clean amplifier models sound fine but the high gain amplifier models lack a bit of detail. The built-in tuner is also not very accurate but good enough. There is built-in metronome and USB audio interface functionality too. There is an option to load up to five NAM captures (full rigs only) and while these may end up sounding better than the built-in models, it should be noted that this device (as well as other devices from Hotone like the Valeton GP5) is not a true NAM modeler and unlike what NAM requires, this device is limited to 44.1kHz sample rates. The software is barely usable for profile management but just good enough for updating firmware. The smartphone app is far more functional but can be considered to be a privacy nightmare in terms of how it is distributed and the permissions it requires. Overall, this is an extremely versatile device that offers everything that is required for practicing quietly. I would say that it fares better than most of the beginner-focused 10-15W practice amplifiers. The shell is quite sturdy despite being all-plastic. The knob and buttons are also decent and responsive. At the sale price of around 6.5k, one cannot go wrong with this.
