Taste Testing $50 Pedals from SONICAKE - Warped Dimension - Levitate - Tone Group - Afford-a-board

[@markpetten9777]

No one in their right mind will grow tired of the two princetons. It's as iconic as wiggle stick now.

Thank you for testing with an actual clean tone. Too many other KZbin 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!

I don’t think I’ve come across anybody as constantly happy as this guy…maybe I need to be a church guitarist.

Being just another church guitarist (have been for roughly 18 years), I love that you poke fun at the church guitarist crowd. Heck, I think your overall perspective is awesome and I dig that you don’t take yourself too seriously.

[@patrickmcmanus5373]

@@jmoody3 I have seen the best gear at worship halls. Can't call them a church. But the money spent on guitars and gear at worship halls is incredibly. I wondered who kept guitar shops open because it isn't musicians. The salvation army will pay you to not take drugs and go to worship twice a week. Nepatism and paying for goodness. Can't be worse than criminals????

[@Wildmutationblu]

I only tooned in to check you were still using the Two Princes jingle. Well done sir!

[@allyourbasearebelongtous2191]

I've got the Levitate... love that thing. I really like how they put a wet knob and a dry knob on the Delay side. I do wish however that the Delay was louder. That's the only con I found with it. The Reverb sounds amazing for 50 dollar pedal.

The little green trem is a clear winner, and if you have room for the Sonicake you have room for the little green trem AND a chorus or multi-wiggle

[@sublimingmule6356]

Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of time right now, but I saw you guys were actively doing something with pedals, and I gotta say, these tremolo are fantastic, especially with whichever dirt pedal you've got going on! Greetings from Wisconsin! Much love for what you do!

[@Harrison_Strunz]

I really love the Levitate. Great stuff! The Warped doesn't convince me. Especially the flanger doesn't breath in my opinion. Maybe it's unfair to compare it with an Electric Mistress. But the Levitate is mindblowing. The reverb alone is worth the price. Have both of them.

[@WilliamFeryll]

[@joseraulgonzalezgarcia3487]

Thank you for the video. I bought the warped D. It's a good pedal. Fits on to my pedalboard. The tremolo is awesome... tap tempo it slow and you get swells. The chorus is diferent..cool. not an average one just cool. Flanger is different and experimental..also the phaser. Stomp switches are soft..no hard click and totally cool with bright green color. 56 dlls. Not bad price.

[@foxtonstreet]

That warped dimension pedal is awesome, and I don't usually like modulation effects much.

You can buy both and it would still be less money than almost any other single pedal out there. Thats a sweet deal man.

Nice review! DEL-REV pedal is cool! Just bought it :D All the best !

[@MrStorm029029]

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!

[@onefatstratcat]

You can have your Sonicake and play them too!

[@Sm0kn]

You should check out the Empress Para EQ Deluxe Pedal on that board ❤Knew their was a reason I always liked your channel. God bless brother 🤩Your Ch is a breath of fresh air from my Metal Slaughterhouse 😌Playing😏One year ago I woulda said put the levitate sideways to fit both pedals😋

[@IAmWatcher]

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.

[@philczternastek8760]

I was jumping around in the video. I think about 8 seconds into hearing the reverb I was clicking on the amazon link. I'm being good until I hear the delay too.

[@tymime]

If that version of the Super-Sonic was a signature model, I'd buy it

[@Savageronin506]

So is there a list of whats current on the board? This vids are great also the podcast is epic too!!

[@ingridelknermusic]

I wanna know too! Especially the first board (praise & worship board?)

[@ramspencer5492]

On the modulation pedal....Would have liked to hear what a lot of the settings sounded like without the mix/level maxed out the whole time! ....More real world use. But It does seem like a pretty cool pedal.

[@Superjet113]

Frank Sinatra approves the beginning " Afford a board" crooning deluxe song. With that being said, pedals just keep getting better and cheaper! Nice review Sir!

Hello God bless you. Thank you for all your videos, they are very helpful. What cheap tremolo pedal would you recommend? I play in a Christian church. Thank you very much for answering.

[@leob4403]

The jesus christ superstar phaser made by church pedals is the way to go

[@cultclassics587]

The warped dimension sounds like it has springs built into it like a spring reverb. Idk if you’re familiar but the Danelectro spring king reverb had a kick pad with the spring underneath so you could mess with the sound. The chorus setting and even parts of the flanger setting definitely sounded “springy” to my ears.

[@SonicRave1]

I have the Levitate and the Warped Dimension. I love the Levitate but I’m a little disappointed with the Warped Dimension only because if you turn down level then the volume of your signal goes down with it!

[@EasyHeat]

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! 🖖

[@juansguerrero0602]

29:00 - 31:08 that part was 🔥

[@julioreyes3673]

[@stk7778]

Im a sucker for plate reverb. Levitate sounds nice. The plate does have a spring like quality but is grainy. Real nice on neck pick up but not on bridge

[@HeelBJC]

Aaaaaaaand we're gonna need a parody commercial where Ryan vouches for graphic EQ in the style of an erectile dysfunction ad.

The warped sounds great for $50, better than the settings in the Mooer Multi or Sonicake Muti mini pedals. Is it all digital or are the effect circuits real bucket brigade analogue?

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.

[@joellebrodeur1015]

I have the Mini Mod 😁

[@daviddigital6887]

I have a version of the Mod Factory and it's awesome for the price, takes up less space and sounds better I think. I use the Chorus on it all the time and it sounds better than this thing. I recommend it too. Oh yeah, it has a nice Univibe everyone is always asking for

[@michaelmacinnis8421]

What a thorough review/ demo. And to think, I nearly threw away $200 on an EarthQuaker delay, reverb pedal. I hear that the EarthQuaker is very noisy, although I like that it's made in the USA. 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!

[@BlondeBeard18]

Here looking for a delay for my P&W set up, and I feel totally seen and a bit called out 😅

[@tymime]

That flutter on the chorus actually makes it hard for me to hear the slower speed underneath it

[@adamjanda6542]

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.

[@che2335]

I was the 696th like on this vid and the 696th like on your WHAC IT stupidest pedal shorts video too! What does it mean is it coincidence or proof we are in a simulation? Or do the same 696 guitar nerds across the planet like your videos in the exact same sequence every time?

Stumbled across your show while investigating buying cheap Chinese guitar pedals. Great show by a hugely knowledgable person. 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.

[@patrickmcmanus5373]

If I was to make a one off of any of the pedals here it would cost 17$ enclosure 20$ components. So for 50$ they are incredible value

[@60CycleHumcast]

you also have to factor in the value of labor time.
