A little room for improvement as an A/B/Y. - $30 for a functional A/B pedal is great. This one does almost everything right and is a great value. It even does A/B switching in a mini-sized enclosure, which is impressive. My unit doesn't have any noticeable popping, and so far as I can tell doesn't degrade the signal. I was also happy to see that despite the description saying that A+B mode only works with Y as the input, mine did it just fine with Y as the output. In my case there was no change in volume when joining the signals, either (which can be a problem sometimes with stuff like this), which is awesome. So what could be better? I was a little surprised to see that the A+B mode basically disengaged the pedal button completely. Normally what you see in a 2-button footswitch is an A/B button and an A or B button. One of them normally switches between A and B. the other (A or B) will add or subtract the remaining channel. I had expected that Sonicake's unit would do something similar with the mode switch changed. Instead, it just ignores the pedal switch and everything is on all the time. I get why they did that, since with only one button available you couldn't get the full functionality easily. But I would have liked it better if I could get some form of A / A+B accessible via the footswitch in the second mode. The small size is both a strength and a minor drawback - with an enclosure this small there's no room for a battery. This isn't a huge deal since the pedal works without the battery (it only powers the LED), and many pedals of this kind don't have an LED anyway. Still, if I could choose between this and a version of the same thing in a bigger enclosure to hold a battery, I might have chosen the larger one. That's more feedback than criticism, but it's something to consider. I usually prefer batteries in pedals which only need them for the LED in order to avoid ground loop issues and save space on my board. Speaking of which, when I first plugged this pedal in, there was a significant ground hum introduced into my signal chain. I was a little puzzled by this since the power shouldn't even be connected to the sound. This probably means I was producing a ground loop that was showing up elsewhere. I ended up swapping out what was connecting to what (and what was daisy-chained) for other reasons before troubleshooting this and the issue happened to go away, so I didn't pay a lot of attention to it. It probably wasn't this pedal's fault anyway, but it is something to watch out for (again, this is why I might have preferred a battery for this). 5 stars for price and accomplishing what it set out to do. It might be a little unfair but if I could I'd take half a star for not handling the A+B issue differently. I guess their answer to the design issue at hand was valid but I think that part could be improved upon. But if you look at that as just a bonus feature anyway and look at this as an A/B pedal, this is a great unit and an outstanding value. Review: Glitch machine - This thing is really cool. It's not what I expected, but still very cool. I was expecting a big expansive reverb, but the reverb is kind of weak and sounds very tinny. However, what I didn't expect was how good the delay is. The delay is kind of insane. You can put the time down to minimum and get a sort of robotic sound, or play with that knob and get all sorts of cool glitchy sounds. It's great to use with a drum machine in particular. I was hoping to use it with my synths to get more expansive pad sounds but it turned out to be more of a drum glitch machine. It's tiny yet super well made. It feels heavy and the knobs, although small, are satisfying to use. It doesn't come with a power supply but uses standard guitar pedal 9v. So don't forget to pick one of those up if you don't already have one. ## Features - 100% Analog Circuit offers you from Creamy Overdrive to Rock Distortion and Massive Fuzz Tone - Guitar Effects Overdrive Distortion Fuzz Pedal Iconic Tasty Sound offering Tonal Versatility for different Genres of Rock n' Roll Music - Classic FILTER Design keeps a Tone Secret and offers a Wide Tone Control Range from Pitch Dark to Aggressively Blasting - True Bypass Footswitch keeps a clean Signal Path For Guitar Pedal - Guitar Effects Pedal Working with 9V Center Negative Regular Power Supply(NOT included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B099JZYS18 | | Amperage | 12 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Distortion, Overdrive | | Best Sellers Rank | #932 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #3 in Electric Guitar Noise Gates Effects | | Brand | SONICAKE | | Brand Name | SONICAKE | | Color | Distortion | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm) audio jack | | Controls Type | Push Button, Knob | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,171 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | Distortion Pedal | | Item Dimensions | 2.44 x 4.13 x 2.44 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 2.05"L x 1.65"W x 3.68"H | | Item Type Name | Guitar Pedal | | Item Weight | 208 Grams | | Manufacturer | SONICAKE | | Manufacturer Part Number | QSS-18(Rude Mouse) | | Model Name | RUDE MOUSE | | Model Number | QSS-18 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 2.05"L x 1.65"W x 3.68"H | | Signal Format | Analog | | Sound Profile | Varies (Overdrive, Distortion, Fuzz) | | Style | Filter,Distortion,Overdrive | | UPC | 843037101667 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 9 Volts | | Warranty Description | 90 days. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SONICAKE - **Color:** Distortion - **Item Weight:** 208 Grams - **Product Dimensions:** 2.05"L x 1.65"W x 3.68"H - **Style:** Filter,Distortion,Overdrive ## Images ![SONICAKE Distortion Pedal Rude Mouse Distortion 2 Modes Classic Hyper Crunch to Fuzzy Guitar Pedal True Bypass - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51k6cb-bgHL.jpg) ![SONICAKE Distortion Pedal Rude Mouse Distortion 2 Modes Classic Hyper Crunch to Fuzzy Guitar Pedal True Bypass - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71U71vBaXgL.jpg) ![SONICAKE Distortion Pedal Rude Mouse Distortion 2 Modes Classic Hyper Crunch to Fuzzy Guitar Pedal True Bypass - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DqpgThBML.jpg) ![SONICAKE Distortion Pedal Rude Mouse Distortion 2 Modes Classic Hyper Crunch to Fuzzy Guitar Pedal True Bypass - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gSdAOeUoL.jpg) ![SONICAKE Distortion Pedal Rude Mouse Distortion 2 Modes Classic Hyper Crunch to Fuzzy Guitar Pedal True Bypass - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619pOyq-KqL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 Stars (if I could).

This being programmable with our phones makes this invaluable especially for the low budget musicians that hat want quality sounds. Perfect for practice or for traveling light with almost full spectrum results when you figure out how to use it with special stereo cables. We are now in the golden age of musical equipment. Especially if you consider the footprint and the price as well as the quality of sound. It could possibly work wonders if you pair them up in a stereo setup and if your clever, it could be astonishing and lightweight even with just one pedal if your a good programmer and player. Probably a great addition to a standard pedalboard for layering sounds and amps and fx. Tips: #1.keep the gain down and work your way up to find sweet spots, more gain is not always better. #2.Keep the volume down as well and work you way up. Not the other way around. You’re just asking for noise at any price point keeping everything maxed out. #3 try your best to go stereo even if it’s with 2 small amps. You won’t regret it and you will thank us sound nerds for telling you. This is astonishing for the money and all you get. It’s like getting a bunch of amplifiers and a bunch of effects for $75 which was impossible even in the early 90s or early 2000s. Bluetooth streaming too?
