Kokko Acoustic Guitar Effect Pedal (FVB2)

What everybody else has said is true: this thing is stupidly good for the price! I don't use it a lot, but I can't think of what more I would need out of a vibrato pedal. Has a nice, old school sound. Seems to be built very sturdy. And obviously doesn't take up much space on the board at all. I could see these becoming super sought-after in about 20 years. Just pick one up! Even if it sits in a drawer, it's only about 30 bucks lol

Good vibrato pedals are usually expensive. I have been wanting to buy a popular model for a long time, but I was not willing to spend big bucks for one. I could not find a good deal on the used gear market either. I found this unknown pedal on Amazon and I thought to myself, " a vibrato pedal branded Kokko...what a joke!" After a while I added it to my wish list, just in case...Then one day I decided to take the plunge and try it.For a generic pedal brand, 37 bucks is a significant amount of money. But if this turned out to be a good vibrato circuit design, then it would have been worth it.Well, I am happy to report that this is a very good vibrato in a nice, solidly built enclosure. The enclosure is nano sized. You can appreciate the size on one of my pictures which shows the pedal next to a Boss. The enclosure is all metal and has two thin foam feet underneath. This is rather fragile foam, and I don't expect it to last. The non-slip rubber pads included with other pedals like Donner, AZOR and others, appears to be much better quality.The control pots rotate smoothly but I wish they felt a little tighter. They rotate a little too easily, which makes the prone to change settings upon a bump. However, once the pedal is in operation, operation of the control pots is flawless.Controls are straight forward for a vibrato: Rate, Depth, and Ramp. I was a little confused about the Ramp control pot, but then I realized this is equivalent to the Rise control on a Boss Vibrato; it controls the attack time of the effect.All three controls interact with each other to produce a sweet spot. You will know it when you hear it; so I encourage you to experiment with it. If you have used a good vibrato pedal in the past, I bet you will be impressed by this pedal in a good way.My only gripe with this pedal is the quality of the paint job and labels. The pedal is coated with a matte paint that is rather dull; it looks like a coat of primer. The labels are also hideous. I am seriously considering sanding the enclosure, and repainting it with a decent enamel...that's how much I like the pedal. :-)One word of caution: This pedal is brand new, so I have no way to rate its durability or reliability (which are in fact very relevant aspects of a guitar effect pedal). If you are a gigging musician, and need proven reliability, you know you may be taking a big risk by going at it with this pedal alone. That is when spending big bucks on a pedal from an established brand may be the way to go.I will make the commitment to update this review in the future to reflect of the pedal's durability and reliability.

There are so many boutique companies like Earthquaker, JHS, Dwarfcraft, DbA, and I'd argue Boss's Waza line, there are really good bread-and-butter companies like Boss's normal line and the criminally underappreciated MXR, but my personal favorite are these cheap Chinese pedal companies that make rather good pedal clones for sometimes as low as $20. This is easily one of the best of that category I've gotten, and it's wonderful!The chassis is a slightly larger mini size, and as someone else pointed out, it's exactly the same size, shape and has the same soft clickless switch as a TC Electronic mini pedal. It's probably based on the same pedal case and possibly even made in the same factory. It is covered in what feels like either a soft plastic paint or an powder-kote. The switch has a momentary feature that will probably see use by me. The "ramp" knob is interesting; it controls how quickly the effect comes on after being turned on. I saw a YT video in where the person suggests that the ramp knob only works in momentary mode, but after trying it out, I now know that to be false. With a high ramp, the pedal progressively gets more and more vibrato'd, and if you are running extreme rate and depth levels with a long ramp time, it can be used as a great way to end a song.The effect itself can be subtle to nauseating, and honestly, it's quite good. To be fair, this is only the third vibrato I've used and the first one I've owned, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Surely, the EQD vibrato pedal is better, but IDK if it's $120 better. This pedal rocks and can be used to give a weird, uneasy feeling to clean minor or diminished passages. I'm liking it already.

The most common review of this battle and this brand which I’ve had before is that they are OK for the price but then again the prices are getting too high as well. The two criticisms I have are that the pedal has too much effect potential and that makes fine-tuning unnecessarily more difficult. For example, when you turn one of the knobs all the way to the right and now your guitar sounds like a siren on a police car that is completely unnecessary. Secondly, a common fault with these offbrand pedals is that they put to recess grooves in the bottom where they mount there are no skid tape that NOBODY USES!!! The good brand pedals don’t do that for a reason… because NOBODY sets their pedals loosely on the floor and now when you go to mount one of these and other cheap pedals not only do you have to scrape that tape out of the groove and then clean the adhesive with solvent but now you have a limited surface to apply your mounting method. It’s just an absolutely horrible design idea and the engineers you should be ashamed of themselves for having no idea what happens to their product in the actual real world.

Finally found a vibe that approximates the sound I had been seeking and a very affordable price. Not the same as units costing hundreds of dollars but provides a decent start for someone wanting to get acquainted with the effect.

I am pretty happy with this pedal. I have tried a few options in this price range and a few less than $150 and this one is by the far better than any that I have tried. It has good tone, the controls work nicely, true bypass, and feels well built. It doesn't muddy/empty up the sound at all, its a clean sway. It isn't going to be better than your expensive options like a original UV-1 obviously. But, if you are looking for something less than $150, this is worth a try. I love it.

El material del que está hecho es bueno, los controles son sencillos y fáciles de entender.

Just got my Mini SOS Looper Pedal. It seems to work well for such an inexpensive pedal. Built solidly and easy to use features. Takes some practice to use any looper pedal but stick with it and it can be very rewarding! Wish it had a power adapter but the price would increase accordingly.

este looper trae todo lo necesario para estar con propias ideas!! funciona de poca...

Es bueno, el sustain no es tan potente pero sirbe para lo que es por su precio

No manches es un excelente booster... Y más cuando lo pruebas en un bass pasivo... Mejora definitivamente los graves.....
