Sonicake

Sonicake is a Changsha, Hunan gear maker with a catalogue spanning compact effects, multi-effects processors, bass and acoustic preamps, headphone tools and accessories. Its official FAQ says its products are manufactured and packaged in Changsha. The JustPedals selection reflects that mix: the QEP-10 FlipWah combines wah and volume functions, the QME-20 Smart Box is a multi-effects processor, and listings also include adapters and headphone amplifiers. Check whether a Sonicake listing is a pedal, processor or supporting accessory before comparing it with a conventional single-effect stompbox.

Amp & Cab Sims

Amp and cab simulator pedals recreate the gain, frequency response and feel of an amplifier and speaker cabinet in a pedalboard-friendly format. They can feed an effects return, power amp, mixer, interface or headphones, depending on the model. Check whether cabinet filtering or impulse responses are built in, whether they can be bypassed, and whether the output is intended for a real guitar cabinet or a direct system. Gain staging remains important when combining them with other drives.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

IR Loader

Convolves the signal with an impulse response, a captured measurement of a cabinet, speaker, microphone, room or other linear system. File length, sample rate, latency, storage and routing determine the detail of the captured response and how flexibly it can be combined.
