Great sounding amd great value
This sounds great to my ears. I'm using it with keyboards not guitar. The output is stereo so you can just plug in a pair of headphones for practice. It's got a built-in tuner (which is useful) and a looper which give you about 10 seconds of looping time (so will not replace a dedicated looper). You also get a simple metronome built in.The effects sound really good, and there is a lot to choose from, and you can move quite a lot of them around in the signal chain although Drive, Amp, IR, and EQ are in a fixed block.You can edit all the effects directly on the pedal (with a little bit of menu diving). It's fairly straightforward but a bit fiddly. The good thing is that you can download an app to a computer/IOS/android and edit it from a phone or tablet using Bluetooth. This is very handy and is easy to set up. You can also download 5 user IRs and NAM files for the Amp (although when using NAM files you lose the IR module - as it's probably too much of a strain on the CPU). There's a website that offers free IRs and NAM files called Tonehunt.You can also use this as a sound card for your computer - although I've not used this yet.It's powered by a built in rechargable battery which can be charged by USB-C.It's tiny, but that's part of its charm. It's well worth the money and is a third of the price of comparable multieffects pedals.I liked it so much that I ordered on for my best friend's 50th birthday.

Good but needs more for Bassists
This works well.Limited programming on the drum patterns, which you can really only access via the phone app.Also I bought this to use with my bass, and there's about four bass amp sounds, tweakable and nice, but nowhere near what's available for guitar.Solidly built and easy to navigate.More bass needed, but the bass bits are nice.Good value for money and decent effects at this price point.

SONICAKE Pocket Master - English Menu with Purchase on Amazon
SONICAKE Pocket Master!!!I am very happy to have such a wonderful product. Very compact and creative with excellent sound and many other advantages. I always thought about what kind of bag to buy to transport a guitar processor and cables, as well as a laptop, headphones and many other things for recording music while traveling. Today I understand that I do not need to have a big bag for all these things. In addition, I recently bought Sonicake 2.4G Wireless Audio System, which allows me to play the guitar without using cables, only headphones to listen to the sound of the guitar and this is very cool!!! With great respect to the developers for such wonderful things!!!

No instructions, but sounds great once working
You need some DAW software to play through your computer. I already had Amplitude, so I've got it working. The quality of the device is excellent, and the preset amp settings are amazing. A few steps in the instructions would be a big help. To play through PC you'll need some DAW software, install the AISO driver (or get AISO4ALL), then set up the audio software to use the Pocket Master as the input

Great for the money but some tinkering needed
Very impressed with this little guy. I was playing with the settings quickly without any reference to the manual. For the money, it is superb. It is NOT going to replace your main amp, or replace a good emulator for recording, but for when youre on the move, need to practice on headphones, or want to quickly record into your phone / iPad it could be really good.Three things to watch out for. 1) it is not grounded when using it on the internal battery so you get some noise if your guitar isn’t shielded effectively. I have tried it with two guitars, one it had horrible grounding interference with, while the other has been fine. 2) the presets aren’t to my taste and have a ton of reverb. Take some time to tweak them and make it work for you. 3) The NAM profile feature is a bit hit and miss. They are 'darker' sounding than the built in models, so I have found you need to use an EQ after them to make them more usable. Also they disable the IR speaker cabinets, so you need to ensure that the NAM profile has a speaker included.

Hit's the spot.
Over the years I've had many boxes like this all the way back to the original Korg Panadora and onwards through the various Pandora versions they made. They were all great in their own way. This doesn't move the concept on massively except in a few areas - smaller size and the inclusion of bluetooth and a built in battery.All my old headphone practice amps needed an audio cable from whatever backing source you might be playing with, but with this unit streaming wirelessly from my phone is now open to me. A huge plus.You'll still need to plug your guitar in, obviously, but that's it. The unit comes with a robust grip clip so you can attach the unit to your guitar strap. Plug in and you're good to go. The small size means menu diving is the order of the day to change parameters on the patches (of which there are plenty built in) but that's part of the fun to set up your sounds. For the price this is ridiculous value.There's built in drum tracks to play and a metronome, all the things you'd expect. These are decent quality and more than adequate for a little practice device like this. Any shortcomings (say slightly fiddly menus, small screen etc) seem pointless to mention as what else do I expect of a device this small?The performance per £ is off the chart really. I have some nice amps at home but unless I actually wanted to be heard this is what I would reach for every single time.

Small, sounds great easy to use.
Simple and straightforward, managed to set up, upgrade firmware, install app on table and get my preferred sound within the space of 10 minutes from opening the box; previously paid an awful lot more money for multifx boxes which are far more over complicated to use, less portable and didn't sound as good. The ability to use NAM captures is a real game changer. Excellent for the price.
