Layfoxz o SOL918 5-in-1 Multi Effect Pedal Combined Effect Guitar Pedal True Bypass Multi-in-one Combined Effect Device Reverb Delay FX Loop Overdrive Distortion for Guitar Bass Electro-Acoustic

I bought this as a gift for my nephew. Great little pedal that can fit in your gig bag, runs off of a single 9V wall wart, and contains all of the essentials (reverb, delay, OD, distortion) with a built-in effects loop in case you want to add other pedals down the road. Solid build quality with clean solder joints inside. All for less than $50. After testing it out before I wrapped it for him, I'm tempted to buy one for myself for a grab-and-go backup pedalboard. Are the effects great? Maybe not. But they're pretty good. You could spend $400-500 or more to put together a rig with the same set of effects, or you could buy this and get 90% of the way there. I would absolutely gig with this unit.One key point that is unfortunately not covered in the manual: The overdrive section of the pedal has two DIP switches inside the unit that progressively add more clipping when switched on. Switch (A) toggles between overdrive (ON) and clean boost (OFF) mode. Setting switch (B) to (ON) turns on distortion mode, overriding the setting on switch (A). That's important because the unit ships with both switches set to OFF, with the overdrive section set to clean boost mode. It's a really nice clean boost. But the default setting could confuse a new owner who is wondering why in the heck the overdrive pedal doesn't have any dirt. If that's what happens to you, unscrew the screws, open the case, set switch (A) to (ON) and rock out.There's also a trim pot in there for the overdrive section that I didn't touch, but google search says it probably acts like a presence control or treble boost.

A lot of versatility regarding the combinations of the available effects even ignoring the ability to create a chain through the pedal itself. the metal case offered protection for the electronics and also to prevent any interference on a stage with many different signals,lights or other things which could cause any buzzing which i did not experience. the reverb is really amazing in any setting but the pedal allows for fine tuning regarding the other effects available which may seem frustrating finding the perfect sound but also allow you to get unique sounds for different songs you want to play. all in all great for the price beat my expectations.

Seems quite well built, very versatile and I'm taking it out to work on three gigs this weekend 😉

The media could not be loaded.  This has all the core effects that one would need in my option. It's all metal construction. The effects loop is a great feature. It allows you to insert additional pedals after the overdrive/distortion section and before the delay and reverb. I do find that each effect has their own sweet spot. Tweaking past those points, there is either too much noise or too harsh sounding to my ear. The switches do pop when engaged, which you can hear in the video. The knobs are the common tiny ones and do tend to be sensitive to adjustment. As far as the tones, I am pleased with what I can get out of it. Overall , I am pleased with it and I would recommend it.

I bought this for my son for his first "multieffect pedal." I wasn't expecting much for the price, just something he could play around with. I'm very happy with the quality and sound in a compact unit. Good controls. Nice job on this product and thank you! Would have been nice to have a power adapter included or better description or recommendation as to what to get.
