ISET Acoustic Simulator Guitar Effect Pedal For Electrical Guitar Bass True Bypass

Let me preface this review by saying that I'm certainly no expert and have not used a lot of pedals but I did actually get the other delay pedal from iSet first that has a bunch of different types of delays (Iset Digital Delay Guitar Effect Pedal with 9 Delay Modes). I didn't like it at all as it was almost impossible to get a natural sounding quickly decaying delay. It would have been useful for really in your face effects (think Pink Floyd's 'One of These Days'), but I just wanted a very small delay over the reverb, not even noticeable unless you really listened for it. This pedal does that very well and is easy to set.

The Boost Is Amazing Nice Warm Sound

As the title says it does work as a tuner should. It's a little slow sometimes and it's not as forgiving if I let a string ring out as my D'Addario headstock tuner. But for the price I don't expect perfection. However an issue that's a little more worrying is that my DC jack has a lot of play. It's not the component that feels like it has play it feels like its firm to the PCB and the whole electronic internals are moving. It's not that big of a deal especially if you leave it plugged in but that's just a trait that I typically don't feel comfortable having in electronics.That being said I have been using this pedal for months now on a pedal board that receives frequent use but stays home. I haven't had any problems besides the ones mentioned and they're just minor gripes. (other than the power jack) It's one of the most affordable pedal tuners available and has a nice print picture below the screen. It's not perfect but overall happy with the purchase.

This tuner will only get you within the ballpark of being in tune. I compared it against an accurate TC Electronic tuner. It’s not accurate. It will say that the string is in tune, even if it’s actually sharp or flat +/- 5 cents. The window of accuracy is too wide. When tuning up to a note, this unit will register as in tune, when it’s actually 5 cents flat. Adversely, if you tune past the target note, it won’t register as being too sharp, until you’re 5 cents sharp of the desired note.The only reasons I am even giving this this tuner one star is because it functions well as a mute switch…..and there is no option to give it zero.

This pedal is great and makes me wonder why I didn't run a compressor on my bass for a lot longer. With this on, in half pint or full pint mode, some songs are made a lot easier. Basically, any songs that play a lot of hammer ons or pull offs, for me, is better with this pedal. (I play Fender precision basses)

I am by no means an expert, but I have been beating on guitars for 40 years off and on. I have been experimenting with acoustic simulators, and ran across this one. I have a much more expensive pedal that can do a lot of things, but it is hard to customize. This one, is simple, just a switch, and a couple of knobs.Within 30 seconds, I had achieved the sound I wanted that was very similar to the other pedal.There is no power supply shipped with this product. It uses a standard Pedal supply..easy to come by. I did like the fact that the bottom is cushioned with a non-slip product. It is small, but of the same general design as most other pedals.My needs are simple, and this product gave me what I wanted. Keep in mind that you can only simulate Acoustic on an Electric guitar. But with a bit of patience you can get close enough to do what you often need. Plus, it is supposed to be fun!!

I’m ambivalent on this thing. I knew going in that expecting an inexpensive pedal to help make my electric guitar sound acoustic was a bit of a pipe dream…and I was on right BUT that being said, this thing will alter your electric tone a little bit….it’s just almost impossible for me to describe, pulls all the ‘balls’ out of your signal and just sounds kinda tinny which sometimes can be cool I guess. You get watcha pay for!

I was looking for an always on optical compressor for an acoustic pedal board I am assembling. I bought this as it was the cheapest available at the time (and has a sandwich on it!), and it shared the same control set/ layout as another pedal that was advertised as optical.I have opened this, and can confirm the presence of an optical bug. This is a somewhat subtle compressor, which is what I was looking for. Happily, it is not too noisy like a dynacomp or similar. I can confirm it is truly true bypass. There is a slight click when engaging and disengaging the pedal, but nothing that bad, and I will always be leaving this on.Control set is fairly simple - SUSTAIN is input gain and dictates how much compression occurs. LEVEL is output volume (makeup gain at low sustain settings, output attenuation at high sustain settings). The SWITCH is simply a hi-pass filter, maybe at too-high a value (seems almost like 200Hz or more.But the real happy surprise is the TONE knob- it is not a simple treble roll off as I expected, rather it is a TILT EQ- turning the knob to the left both reduces treble and increases bass, turning the knob to the right both increases treble and reduces bass. Very powerful, and something I have only ever seen on a substantially more expensive Diamond brand bass compressor. This is powerful for backlining situations, where you might only have a minute or two to get your tone dialed in, and simplicity is the order of the day.As for reliability / customer support/quality control, I have only had the pedal a few days, if any issues come up with this, I will try to remember to update this review.

Me gustó el sonido, la palanquita tiene dos opciones, uno es mas potente que el otro sonido. Muy bueno.

For the money spent this is a good acoustic simulator pedal. Don’t expect it to sound like a true acoustic guitar but, it is a very reasonable facsimile and fun to use. To my ears the Standard and Jumbo modes are the most useful, the Piezo mode sounds a bit too thin for my liking however, YMMV. Still a good budget pedal if you’re looking for an acoustic simulator.

Awesome little pedal. Definitely sounds like an electric acoustic guitar, however Dont expect perfect tonal quality from this lil guy at this price point. Good for acoustic parts in rock/metal songs.

Es un compresor increíble con un rango de compresión que puede ir de lo sutil hasta lo extremo justo para un sonido muy específico que buscaba y que la verdad no esperaba encontrar en un pedal tan pequeño y extramadamente barato… además de que más cool no puede verse en tu cadena de pedales con ese color y el sandwichito!!!

Arrived within ten days. Packaging is nothing to write home about. Funky colour, cool graphic.AND SOUNDS GREAT! Very happy with the sound. With products like this why buy a 300 dollar pedal. Seriously. Nashville telecaster through a 68 CDR reissue. The level alone can push my amp to a new OD. Again satisfied.
