I bought it for practice use in the house so havent 'gigged' it. The compressor and pre amp is very useful, the fuzz less so but still not too shabby. Octave is great think I will use this a lot to 'thicken' the sound. Metal cased and decent footswitches. Yep money well spent ( unlike my zoom B3 πŸ˜€) Review: MASSIVE sound - Just before the review. I've been a professional for many many years. I'm a veteran of literally thousands of gigs and hundreds of recording hours. My current rig is Markbass, Musicman, Warwick, ESP and Ibanez Premium. I have a fully cased pedalboard but a hankering to travel light. Some of the reviews of this are unflattering and might lead me to question just how much experience the writers have with kit and the real world. From my perspective I was really bowled over. I expected a flyrig to sit in my case for rehearsals where there was a studio amp available, as a backup for short festival slots where I could just DI out and possibly for pit band work. I'm now looking at some of the pedals on my main board with fresh eyes just because of the quality coming from this TINY box. The compressor is really transparent and sounds natural, the boost is a useful option (P'raps for the above DI as an "always on" option?), but not needed. It knocks spots off the Ashdown dual band compressor that's in a cupboard somewhere. Fuzz on bass isn't really my thing, but at a pinch with the sustain backed right off it hits nasty overdrive well. One thing that it does do is to nail the old Big Muff sound. The preamp is a diamond. Again the DI gig would be happy with the tone-shaping which really does sound like an amp. On a more real-world situation it's great to be able to add a driven Ampeg sound on the songs that need it. One great thing is that both the fuzz and the preamp react really well to volume changes from the bass so cleaning up is always an option. I habitually run the bass on half volume to preserve dynamics later down the chain and a pristine to grind transformation is really easy to achieve which just adds versatility. The Octave section is, in my opinion, really good. It tracks down to the B on a five string without glitching. Turn up the direct, octaves on half and the compressor keeping things tidy and the tracking and sound is better than my OC3 (which cost double what the whole soundbar costs). Noise floor is very low unless you dime the drives, construction solid and just too cute for words. If I could suggest anything for the mark II it would be a 9v output to drive a pedal in the loop and some sort of tuner, especially since that's going to be the essential either in the loop or in the front end. But that is that. On the whole I'm more than delighted and am thinking of buying a second to sit on my main board and run the other pedals in the loop. Great bit of kit. ## Features - One-Stop Gig Solution for Bass Players with Main Effects needed - Analog Preamp with 3-Band EQ recreates the Legendary Ampeg Style Tone, from Dynamic Clean to Classic Rock Bass Sound - Compressor, Boost, Fuzz Modules ready for Most Common Use in Bass Playing Scenes - Octave Module Produces Notes One and Two Octaves Lower along with the Direct Signal for the Massive Thickness or Treble Tricky with some High Frets Tracking - XLR Output for directly connecting to PA, Mixer or Audio Interface; FX Loop for Hooking up other Effects ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07WJLCHG4 | | Amperage | 75 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Multi-Effect | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,962 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 24 in Guitar Multi-Effects Pedals | | Brand | SONICAKE | | Brand Name | SONICAKE | | Colour | Bass Preamp Compressor Boost Fuzz Octave | | Connector Type | XLR | | Controls Type | Knob, Push Button | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 337 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | Power adapter | | Item Dimensions | 7.1 x 40.3 x 5.7 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6.4L x 2.6W x 4.4H centimetres | | Item Type Name | QCE-40 | | Item Weight | 0.5 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.5 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | SONICAKE | | Manufacturer Part Number | QCE-40 | | Model Name | Boom Ave | | Model Number | QCE-40 | | Power Source | DC Adapter | | Product Warranty | 90 days. | | Product dimensions | 6.4L x 2.6W x 4.4H centimetres | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Classic | | UPC | 843037100813 | | Voltage | 9 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SONICAKE - **Colour:** Bass Preamp Compressor Boost Fuzz Octave - **Item weight:** 0.5 Kilograms - **Product dimensions:** 6.4L x 2.6W x 4.4H centimetres - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![SONICAKE Bass Multi Effects Pedal Preamp Compressor Boost Fuzz Octave Pedal with FX Loop Boom Ave - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51U598rOQES.jpg) ![SONICAKE Bass Multi Effects Pedal Preamp Compressor Boost Fuzz Octave Pedal with FX Loop Boom Ave - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JMr0IDXdS.jpg) ![SONICAKE Bass Multi Effects Pedal Preamp Compressor Boost Fuzz Octave Pedal with FX Loop Boom Ave - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fItnDCaYS.jpg) ![SONICAKE Bass Multi Effects Pedal Preamp Compressor Boost Fuzz Octave Pedal with FX Loop Boom Ave - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fiGSd6sOS.jpg) ![SONICAKE Bass Multi Effects Pedal Preamp Compressor Boost Fuzz Octave Pedal with FX Loop Boom Ave - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711IomTr1ZS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What’s the distortion like? currently got a metalzone running through a blackstar ht5 and it sounds like a bag of spanners. can you get gritty tones?** A: If you want just analog distortion-get a boss or electro harmonix, my sonicake is in the drawer-I don’t like it **Q: can these be used alongside other Sonic cake pedals like the rock stage?** A: Hello there Andrew Indeed yes, I have used it with all different kinds of fx "bar" type pedals. Rock on. **Q: Can you use the sonic wood multi pedal with electric guitars like a rickenbacker or telecaster also?** A: My son has used his on hi Squire electric guitar.. So I can imagine you should be able to.. **Q: I know it says it can in the description, but can it really be plugged straight into a mixer/pa without an amp? Has anyone tested that? Thanks** A: It can be plugged straight in but it needs tweaking to get the sound you want.I've heard alot worse cab simulators. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Budget multipedal *by D***W on 5 July 2026* Impressed, its cheap so I wasn't really expecting much but its very good for the money.

Good while it lasted, which wasn't long... *by A***L on 6 January 2022* Sounded really nice but I didn't try and set it up properly in my rig as the on/off toggle for the compressor section only worked intermittently. This made it useless for live stage use. I would have taken a replacement but Amazon didn't offer me one so I guess I'll shop around and see what else is out there. Update: After getting a refund I got a second unit to give it a go. Hey, maybe the faulty one was a one off? Well the second one has just packed up as well. No more Soincache for me. If I could drop to zero stars I would. ## Frequently Bought Together - SONICAKE Distortion Guitar Pedal Multi Effects Guitar Pedal Heavy Metal HiGain Boost Chorus Delay Guitar Pedal Black Hammer - SONICAKE 6 Inch Guitar Patch Cable Guitar Effect Pedal Cables Noiseless 1/4" Right Angle TS Mono Cords for Effect Pedals Black 3 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/80077312-sonicake-bass-multi-effects-pedal-preamp-compressor-boost-fuzz-octave](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/80077312-sonicake-bass-multi-effects-pedal-preamp-compressor-boost-fuzz-octave) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
