Sonicake Twiggy Blues - Fantastic Vintage Blues & Rock Tones on a Budget

[@sajisguitar]

John, did you have a chance to review the newer modeller multi effects pedals like Hotone Ampero, Nux MG 200, Harley Benton DNA fX, Headrush MX5 etc?

[@GraemeCampbellMusic]

I've got both this one and the acoustic version, fantastic pedals.

[@OzzyMandias]

There are 3 Flavours of that Pedal - The Twiggy Blues - The Rockstage - The Metal Hammer, I like the Rocktage as I think it gets into realms of the other 2 so it covers most bases - I have just bought a POD GO but I won't be using it for my next gig, it will be the Rockstage and it's almost 1/10th of the price...

[@jimmyjames2022]

For the sake of commenters, worth noting there's also a Bass and an Acoustic version of these.

[@OzzyMandias]

@@jimmyjames2022 Indeed I almost bought the Acoustic version the other day but tbh the Acoustic don't sound too bad at all through the Rockstage (with the Overdrive off obviously)...

[@ghostwriter1440]

I’m not even a blues guy but I want one! I have the bass model and love it! The tones features and price see right on!

[@SONICAKE]

Hey John, thanks for sharing this fantastic video!

[@elbauldo]

The question is, is it worth it compared to what my Boss ME-50 already gives me? The attraction is that it fits on a small pedalboard along with my TRIO+ & FSX3 switch. Ah! Scrub that, I just saw that John Channing has pointed out that it's currently a steal on Amazon. BOUGHT!

Something else to go on the list, nice.

[@klausfritsch4350]

This thing sounds good.

[@gyslainbeauchamp9241]

Good job 👍

[@jimmyjames2022]

A conundrum, Rockstage vs Twiggy Blues, both sound great. The compressor may give the edge to Twiggy, though she's skinny enough without being compressed any more.

[@slawekiwanek402]

I really like your videos.

[@leonthompson8988]

I wish they'd do one with od,dist,reverb,delay .extra button for a loop

[@jrchanning]

Amazon UK have this for £42.83 at the moment, a bargain for this great sounding unit :)

[@steveduggan599]

I’m putting together a budget pedalboard consisting of a Rockstage, Twiggy Blues (esp at that price) & a Demon TS soundalike. Everything else can go now!

[@ianrouse1043]

Very useful video, John. I bought a Twiggy Blues after you reviewed the rock stage last year- I am even older than you and thought it would suit me better- and I have been quite pleased with it but having seen today’s video, I think I will like it even more. I have also got a Behringer overdrive pedal ; I didn’t realise you could link that to the Twiggy Blues so I will try that too. I have got a Peavey Bandit ( another John Robson recommendation!) Would you plug the Twiggy Blues into the front of it or into the effects loop?

[@JRobsonGuitar]

Cheers mate. I'd probably run the pedal into the front of the amp. Run the amp on a flat neutral clean sound with the reverb off & that's probably going to give the best results.

[@SidBonkers51]

Its not something that I would buy as I already have much better reverb and overdrive pedals and a compressor that I never use *BUT* at £42 (on Amazon right now) its a steal for anyone wanting blues tones.
