OVERDEIVE- SONACAKE Thump Prog Dist ___NEW ___ does it Chug??? lol

SONICAKE 
THUMP PROG DIST
$40.00 USD
The 'Cake' have been highly proliferate the last couple of years. They started as a company that went to Mooer and 
got them to re-brand the Mooer mini pedals but paint them black and the sold them for less than half the price of the exact same pedal. I do not know who makes their big pedals as Mooer has never re-branded their pedal's in large steel casings. The new mini pedals come in different colors and most are positively not re-brands. OOPS, I am digressing again.
Well we get a high gain pedal aimed at Modern dirt sounds? 
Or is it? The layout is Volume, Gain, Bass, Mids and Treble. 
A toggle gives you a Classic or Modern voice. This unit also 
gives you a Boost and much desired Gate.

      CONCLUSION ___ 
Well for a start the Prog name is at minimum misleading.
 
Playing triplets at 230bpm and getting a tight well define 
attack on even some of the pricy pedals is a non starter 
let alone a cheapie. In fact the attack on this is soft and 
near muddy. The whole sound of the pedal has a dark 
sound, it lacks any punch, balz or aggression. 
The last pedal I bought was the Sonicake Cowboy mini.
It blows this one out of the water!!! That said, to be fair 
you can dial in a very pleasing medium gain Brit sound. 
If it was in their new mini pedal line I would be tempted 
to get one.
