SONICAKE Sonic Super Master
Sonicake · pedal
The Sonicake Sonic Super Master (QSS-22) is a mini clean boost with a built-in buffer, designed to add level without recolouring the signal. As a boost it lifts the whole frequency range transparently, useful for pushing a tube amp's front end into natural breakup or lifting a solo above a mix without changing the underlying voice. The buffer stage conditions the signal for long cable runs and complex pedalboard chains, preventing the high-frequency loss and dulling that comes from driving a long cable straight from a passive pickup. Its very small enclosure and low price make it a practical utility addition to a crowded board, aimed at beginner and budget-conscious players.
