TRBboy Posted February 8, 2024 Posted February 8, 2024 (edited) Hey folks! I love playing around with my bass crybaby, but it's massive and heavy on my pedalboard. I did have a mini one before but stupidly sold it, and can't justify buying another for what is just a fun, occasional effect for me. So I got to looking at the Sonicake Vol/Wah pedal, which is dual function, compact, light, cheap, and seems to get rave reviews.... On guitar at least. I can't find much testimony from bass players out there, but the info states that it has a wider frequency sweep than a regular crybaby, so hopefully should be okay on bass? Just wondered if anyone here had used one, and if so what your thoughts are? Thanks, Oli Edited February 9, 2024 by TRBboy Quote

SamIAm Posted February 8, 2024 Posted February 8, 2024 I use their passive Vexpress pedal, but only as an expression to drive MIDI controller. Build quality, size, weight all good. Sam x 1 Quote
