Sonicake 5th Dimension mod effects pedal

[blindwilly3fingers]

Sonicake 5th dimension:

I got this just so I could try different modulation effects. It has 11 different settings:

1) Phase 101 (clear bright phaser)
2) Jet fln Br (jet like flange)
3) Jet flane (classic sounding flange)
4) Big Sky (vintage chorus sound)
5) Stereo Chorus (classic lush chorus)
6) Liquid trem (bias tremolo sound)
7) Opto trem (optical tremolo)
8) Roto 60 (rotary vibe effect)
9) Blue vib (vibrato)
10) Cryin bot (wah envelope filter)
11) Lofi (sample reducing effect)

Those are effects stated by sonicake, one selector knob with mix, depth and rate knobs. The on/off switch also doubles as a tap tempo on certain effects. The knobs have different use dependant on which mode is selected.

I have played about and got some usable sounds from it so far. Probably for me I'll only use chorus, vibe, trem features. It's clearly a clever piece of kit but won't get lots of use, by that I mean it will get used on the odd song/tune that needs one of its effects.

It's probably good if your someone who uses a lot of these type effects. Well built, sturdy construction and came with a decent quality patch cable.

Have added a guy on yt review as he can explain it better than me.

Looks like it might be similar to my Tom's Line Mod Station.



I love the chopping tremolo. If it's got a tap tempo on it I never knew it did. I will have to test that tomorrow and I'll thank you blindwilly3fingers if it.

Could be the same @defjef there are a few similar ones. I only went for the sonicake as I've got a few of their pedals and know they are usually good in terms of both effect and build quality.

Nope. It's not the same. I couldn't wait till tomorrow to find out if I have tap tempo and I don't! That extra LED business seems to be unique to the Sonicake.

They are handy little gadgets though for all that and do cover some useful modulation territory. I like the way that just plugging one in changes the sorts of things that I play.

Yeah I'm quite pleased with the options it offers. I have to say out of the cheaper end pedals the sonicake stuff appear a bit more heavy duty in build quality. Pretty good effect too 😀
