i see that there is an input level adjustment for the interface. i'd be curious if you get better results by loading the nam profile an only adjusting the interface's input level
I did try this but ultimately it was the gain adjustment that made the difference for me. Do you have a Pocket Master on order?
No. I don't have one on order. I don't have a need for one. But I do want to understand them as my job sometimes requires me to be familiar with devices like this. But I don't have the budget or time to try them all myself.
Does anyone know Sonicake beyond this? Any products you own besides this or recommend ?
Gotcha.
This is my first experience with their products. I know they have other gear though.
I have a valeton bass dapper (like a fly rig) and I think Valeton and sonicake may be the same company behind the scenes. Sonicake has good versions of the inexpensive pedals, etc.
In general, I think mooer, joyo, sonicake, m-vave, valeton, donner, fesley, and all of the other names you see on the inexpensive guitar gear on amazon all share intertwined roots. If I remember correctly, joyo and mooer are competing companies because they are run by siblings who had a disagreement and split from each other. Something like that.
This makes so much sense and I wouldn’t doubt it at all. Bottom line is they are giving big brand names a run for their money. That new Mooer GS1000 is kind of a beast with capture tech and all. At $500 if I’m not mistaken.
Yeh, after pulling the trigger on the Pocket Master, I thought about how nice the Micro plugging directly into the guitar could be over a loose box and the extra cable. Once I see if this really helps me to pick up the guitar more often, I won't be surprised if I get a hankering for the Micro. Probably it'll take quite some time for me to justify $124 to eliminate a cable though. All it takes is one weak moment though, so I have no doubt it'll happen some day.
fwiw, I think it'd be a dumb move if you already have the Micro and you're stretched financially right now. That false sense of urgency is nothing other than FOMO ya' know.
You need to find a Meeting somewhere my friend.
Go to the bar? Or go to a Meeting? Humm...
😉
It's on the way. I'm 90% sure I'll regret it for a time, then move on. I don't usually look back on dumb purchases for long.
@wim 🤣
yes I think maybe I should actually put the guitar down… 😜
[and you kinda hit the salient point: seamlessness - I don’t want cables (except headphones and USB C ofc) if possible: fender does that so I’m good 🙂]
I had their Fazy Cream fuzz pedal for awhile. Decent Big Muff clone and very inexpensive.
The combination volume / WAH pedal would be interesting to me if I was still using that kind of stuff. Very nice to not have to have a whole extra pedal dedicated to the few times I'd use WAH. And that price!

I'm tempted by this one too:
https://www.sonicake.com/products/wireless-audio-system
≦ 5ms latency. A little higher than I'd like, but ...
Now who’s getting out of hand @wim
Next meetings at 10pm dude
😂
Hey, you asked. 😂
I've been successfully talking myself out of a wireless system for over a year now. I'm not really tempted by either of those products, but they stood out when I perused their web site. I'm a recovering tone addict (1 day sober), fortunately not a gear junkie. 😉
Oh so you are a tone junkie ! Then this will be very interested to hear your review
Man imagine being a gear head AND tone junkie - that’d be an expensive habit
I mean I tallied my spending over the years approximately $10k on 10 guitars + $5k for my studio (including amp, interface, monitors, desk, mic, cab, etc) - so $15k for a life time investment and collectible performance instruments that border on art to pass down but that has been over 20 years of guitar world life so I think that’s somewhat conservative for that being my “addiction” (I use that word loosely sorry to anyone who struggles with it ) - and I have to just say this thread reminded me that there might be some great things out there, but I’m content with what I have and I don’t really want to acquire anything
I will say my op-1f was a real bday gift that sealed my gear days and acquisitions; I won’t be buying or selling or trading anything (so I guess just make it a round $17k) but it’s worth double and increase every year
—— all I need now is maintenance[setups etc] and supplies [strings, finger ease, lizard spit, picks, cleaner/wax, etc] ———-
What I Do NEED is someone to setup my 8 string like really bad man - I can’t handle it, don’t know how to deal with so much tension - but I found someone this week who said he’ll do it
I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of wireless systems lol. Started with the affordable stuff on Amazon with the dual split charging cables. They work for a while but then they’ll stop receiving power from the cable. Went through 3 of them they all did the same thing. Also the 2.4ghz units are very prone to wifi interference. Frustrated but now hooked on being wireless I got the Shure GLXD14+ and needless to say it’s incredible. Expensive but very reliable.
I ended up with Mooer GTRS GWU4 (<3ms on paper). I have it for 6 months now and no complains. But I'm a bedroom player only.
Wireless is genuinely helpful in cramped spaces shared with other people (e.g., the organist and choir).
Don’t bother with those types of wireless, 2.4ghz is bad news for wireless audio. The range on those is not great either, and when they don’t have a clear signal there is no signal, not just interference.
I have that wah/volume in red with the donner name on it, it’s ok. I only use it rarely, so it’s good for that, but the wah just sounds ok. As a volume pedal, the motion is a little loose, so it’s hard to control. But again, for occasional home use it’s ok. You’ll hear and feel a difference with a vox, crybaby, Ernie ball, etc.
Ok u got it illl merge and make this your first post/entry into the guide then since it’s taking off on its own
Wow thanks for pulling me in! Lots to catch up on here.
Thanks for the advice on wireless @uprightmusic, @filo01 and @mrufino1. I kind of expected the cheap units to be marginal. I only play at home and also know how to deal with 2.4ghz congestion. But I'm not really that tempted anyway and you helped put what little temptation there was aside. I hate cables, but not enough to bother with stuff that may not work all that well.
@wim there are some good wireless systems for decent prices. For practice in my home studio I use the NUX B-5RC it’s solid and about $150. Every once in a while I get wild interference but nothing deal breaking. It’s the 2.4ghz model and they make a 5.8ghz now.
I got a wireless system (2.4 ghz so it doesn’t interfere with the numerous 5 Channels) for like $25 or so on sale. It works ; I mean oddly well, barely latency. I can’t imagine what the new quality ones cost.
What’s your goal though @wim
To be wirelessly transmitting into your iPad from your amp and guitar?
If so I’ve been trying to figure out a loop myself / nothing panned out yet
I need to be able to keep playing while I crowd surf.
Btw, I was reading about the Pocket Master in a NAM forum and it was mentioned that the device doesn't let you use an IR and a NAM profile. So, if you are using a NAM profile that doesn't have the cabinet baked in, it is not going to sound right. Since most NAM profiles assume you will run an IR after it.
There was also speculation that it isn't running NAM profiles natively but is converting to some proprietary other format. I have no idea if that is true.
If that is true. That is seriously 😒
However the proprietary conversion makes sense based on the way they describe their white modeling technology
Now what they could’ve developed is even more of interest to me; maybe ArteraDsP knows ! lol jk
As always edward is either right or offers a point of contention strong enough to give let an argument hold water at least
I’m definitely glad I went with Fender @wim
Lmk when you order that one too
Crowd surfing is something I always wanted to do - really . Is it fun
I don't think the IR thing is controversial. Several people posted screenshots showing that Pocket Master's IR stage is disable when NAM is in use.
If they are converting from NAM to something else that would mean that it will sound different from an actual NAM player.
It’s a shame these two threads were combined - I’m really interested in the Pocket Master and would be interested to see people’s opinion of it.
Good dang you guys, now you made me order that Pocket Master. I don't even need it! But it looks like a fun gadget so...
