This compact fuzz pedal has found a permanent spot on my mini board. Outstanding value!
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024
So what could be better? I was a little surprised to see that the A+B mode basically disengaged the pedal button completely. Normally what you see in a 2-button footswitch is an A/B button and an A or B button. One of them normally switches between A and B. the other (A or B) will add or subtract the remaining channel. I had expected that Sonicake's unit would do something similar with the mode switch changed. Instead, it just ignores the pedal switch and everything is on all the time. I get why they did that, since with only one button available you couldn't get the full functionality easily. But I would have liked it better if I could get some form of A / A+B accessible via the footswitch in the second mode.
The small size is both a strength and a minor drawback - with an enclosure this small there's no room for a battery. This isn't a huge deal since the pedal works without the battery (it only powers the LED), and many pedals of this kind don't have an LED anyway. Still, if I could choose between this and a version of the same thing in a bigger enclosure to hold a battery, I might have chosen the larger one. That's more feedback than criticism, but it's something to consider. I usually prefer batteries in pedals which only need them for the LED in order to avoid ground loop issues and save space on my board.
Speaking of which, when I first plugged this pedal in, there was a significant ground hum introduced into my signal chain. I was a little puzzled by this since the power shouldn't even be connected to the sound. This probably means I was producing a ground loop that was showing up elsewhere. I ended up swapping out what was connecting to what (and what was daisy-chained) for other reasons before troubleshooting this and the issue happened to go away, so I didn't pay a lot of attention to it. It probably wasn't this pedal's fault anyway, but it is something to watch out for (again, this is why I might have preferred a battery for this).
5 stars for price and accomplishing what it set out to do. It might be a little unfair but if I could I'd take half a star for not handling the A+B issue differently. I guess their answer to the design issue at hand was valid but I think that part could be improved upon. But if you look at that as just a bonus feature anyway and look at this as an A/B pedal, this is a great unit and an outstanding value.
The pedal arrives brilliantly packaged. The box is just the right size to hold the pedal, a couple of business card sized instruction sheets, a perfectly die cut 3M Velcro strip for attaching to your pedal board, (remove the rubber backing on the pedal first it it doesn't stay stuck) and a foam insert that protects the knobs.
These pedals are compact but not so compact as to be un-usable which lets me add more of them to my compact pedalboard set-up and I just can't be happier with these products.
The Fazy Cream Pedal is advertised as a true bypass, as are all the sonicake pedals, and in my testing that is true. There is no signal loss or alteration in tone when the pedals are switched off. These pedals don't have space for a battery so you will need a 9 volt center negative power supply. I am mounting them to a powered pedal board set-up so that is not an issue for me.
I have this pedal in the middle of my signal chain and curently have the level set at about 9:00, the tone set at 1:15, and fuzz set at about 10:00, and this gives me the warm fuzz I was looking for from this pedal but you can get some much more intense sounds out of it as well and I may play with some other settings in the future.
The sturdy construction of these pedals will more than stand up to my use. I am a home guitarist and dabbling bass player and don't make my living at it, so I can not speak to it's durability in that kind of environment, but I would think that if you don't abuse your gear it should be fine.
This is now my fourth Sonicake pedal, all of them are still going strong and I am still happy with the choices I made. I am 100% certain that I will be looking to Sonicake again when I decide what I want next
If you are on the fence about ordering this pedal, just do it, you can't go wrong. Play it loud!!

Dieses kleine Gerät von Sonicake(es gibt Dutzende "Marken", die dieses Teil mit abgewandelter Farbgebung, aber sonst baugleich, anbieten) tut das sehr sauber. Solange der "Störgeräusch-Pegel" einen Tick unter dem Instrumenten-Pegel liegt, arbeitet dieses Noise Gate absolut zuverlässig und ohne merkliche Latenz. Wenn es beim Anspielen "aufgeweckt" wird, ist auch der allererste Saitenanschlag sauber zu hören, also liegt die Latenz beim Öffnen des Kanals bei sehr, sehr wenigen Millisekunden. Mit Blick auf den Preis kann ich definitiv eine Kaufempfehlung geben.
