Not the best sound, useability or durability

Anonymous 26.02.2016

I got one of these to use in an acoustic duo, used it for a couple of gigs and found it's sound difficult to mix / use because of it's resonant frequencies (very mid orientated and not much oomph in the bass) and ability to pickup the sound of footsteps from people moving about near to it. An eq and a noise gate later and things were slightly more manageable, but it never really gave the sound or performance quality I was looking for / would expect from something of this ilk. Other issues I had with it were it's ability to slip around on almost any surface and the pad section coming unstuck from the wood. Battery drain wasn't a problem and the build of the wooden box was pretty sturdy, but sadly, these positives were not enough for me to continue using it and it went to a new home.

Stomp Away!!

Anonymous 25.07.2016

I bought this to add a percussive element to my guitar playing, without having anything too distracting.

Overall, it does what it says absolutely fine. Seems to be built solidly - saying that, as a product designed literally to be stomped on, I would certainly expect it to be!! However, I'm not the heaviest user of it, so those gigging with it may test it's strength out more than I do.

You really do have to give it a good kick to get some sounds out of it though. I was running it through as an auxiliary input into my main amp, and even with the volume high on the channel I wasn't getting much thump. I then plugged it into a separate amplifier (my old practice amp) into the main input, and increased the gain, which made it more sensitive. Problem solved.

Difficult to review the sound really - you want a good thump, and once your amp is set up right, it does give one. No qualms there.

Overall a good purchase, and something a little different. Quite expensive for what it is, but as long as it lasts, I don't think it's a bad investment.

Good value

LoïcM 11.07.2013

Quite expensive I have to say, for what it does, but it is really good quality.

First, the aspect is quite good. It looks strong and you are not scared of breaking it while using it. The sound is precise and quite good, of course mainly in low frequencies, but it is what we need with that. It reacts each time you touch it, so you don't need to kick it too heavily.

It is quite heavy and stable, so it won't move too much while you are using it (still, find a way to maintain it).

It is delivered in a protection package that is quite useful.

The best one I tried.

Superb affordable percussion

Gustav H. 12.06.2014

I've had this stomp box for half a year now, I have played a bunch of gigs with this. I play in a bluegrass and blues duo and we don't want a drummer. This handy stomp box has become essential to us now. It sounds and looks great, it's also really easy to bring as it comes with a case and the battery seems to run forever. Another good thing is that it really sounds different depending on what kind of shoes you wear or how you stomp.

On the downside, however, it's pretty slippery on stage and you can't connect a power supply to it, not that you need to, but I was worried for the battery drain at first. It's almost a bit too sensitive as well, but you'll get used to how it works best and then you won't be getting any unwanted sounds.

I strongly recommend this!
