lotmusic Ultimate Drive Electric Guitar Effects Pedal Mini Single Type DC 9V True Bypass

This analog chorus pedal is absolutely fantastic! The sound quality is exactly what I was looking for - rich, warm, and full of character. The chorus effect is incredibly lush without being over-the-top or too warbled. It adds beautiful depth and dimension to my tone, whether I'm playing clean arpeggios or full chords. I love how it sits perfectly in the mix and makes everything sound more spacious and alive. The analog circuitry really shines through. There's a warmth and organic quality to the modulation that digital pedals just can't replicate. From subtle shimmer to that classic 80s swirl, this pedal nails it all. The controls are intuitive and responsive - it's easy to dial in the perfect sound for whatever I'm playing. Build quality feels solid too, so I'm confident it'll hold up to regular gigging. If you're looking for a chorus pedal that delivers gorgeous, classic analog tones, this is the one. My guitar has never sounded better! Highly recommend to anyone looking to add some texture and movement to their sound! 🎸

I was looking to build a small budget pedal board for my home acoustic guitar setup, saw this Kmise Vintage Phase mini pedal. The price was low, the product reviews were very positve so I thought I'd give it a try, thinking I would return it if it wasn't working for me. I was pleasantly surprised at the performance of this unit - from a very subtle warble to a full-throated phase shift effect (very comparable to the MXR Phase 45), perfect for my acoustic setup. I was so impressed with this Kmise pedal that a bought another one (Analog Chorus) and another (Crunch Distortion) and another (Digital Delay), and to round out the pedal board I added a Horse Classic Flanger mini pedal (I would have bought a Kmise flanger but they don't make one!). All of these Kmise pedals perform the basic effect functions of their (much) more expensive counterparts (MXR, Boss, TC, etc.) and perform them well. While it's true that the bigger pricetag full-size pedals undoubtably have more features, these mini pedals do their basic functions well, with no added noise, hiss or hum at a great bargain price. A couple things to note - 1. To get the best performance out of these pedals use good quality shielded patch cables and a good quality power supply. Many problems with hiss or hum can be traced back to poor cables or power supply and, 2. These pedals need an A/C adaptor for power and - no, it's not included as clearly stated in the description. I started out building a small pedal board with a few effects for my acoustic and ended up with a board I can also run any of my electrics through and the Kmise minis perform well with all of them. I can't speak to how well they would hold up for a busy gigging musician (I have a bigger pedal board with full-size pedals) but for a small practice setup and something you can grab and go for small gigs or jamming they're ideal. Overall I'm very pleased with them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of the Kmise minis!

The Hot Plexi delivers a nice, warm tube-driven emulated sound. It doesn't have a wide range of adjustments according to my taste, so it's a bit of a one-trick pony. But it sounds good when you find the "dist" sweet spot at around 10 to 11 o'clock, especially since it's priced under $20, the cheapest one I could find. Think of that 70s classic rock moderate to low-level distortion, from smooth power to all the way down to just the edge of breakup. If you're into metal/shredding, look elsewhere. It gives a noisy hum if you add a 2nd gain pedal, but in retrospect it's best when used alone since it's not really meant to be that hot. No noise issues when adding a modulation pedal such as a flanger or phaser. Very good value if you don't need the bite of a screaming hot gain pedal. That's not what this is for. Recommended.

So, before this pedal I didn’t own anything that does what this does. The interwebs say it’s based on the Rat so if I really like this, I know that I’m going to like those types of circuits (Single op-amp gain stage). It’s punk it’s alternative, it’s aggressive even at low gain but it makes you wanna really play your guitar, because the dynamics are there, then switch from bridge to neck pickup and bam it’s boost city for leads or beefy riff time. So glad I got this and found one of the distortion sounds I’ve been searching for. But now I’m hooked on this type of sound, just like I got hooked on cheap fuzz pedals last year! There’s a raw clarity in this distortion that I love.

The Lotmusic/Kmise fuzz pedal black Friday sale of $15.99 good price. Metal enclosure, decent knobs,jacks good, no loud pop associated with foot switch. Mid cut switch give you a added tone via flick of the switch, to me a mix between a tone bender and a muff, more on the heavier side of fuzz, cleans up decent when you roll back the volume on your guitar. BUT!! Noisy when engaged, definitely needed to turn on my noise gate for this pedal. Good sounding pedal..oh Yea. noisey..Yea would I purchase again?? Not for more then the $15 and change. Realistically 3.7 stars for sound and flexibility and 1.5 stars because of how noisey when engaged.

I am always in the market for some inexpensive fx; I came across two interesting candidates from a company called Kmise. Had never seen these before but at this low price point I wanted to try these out. The Tremolo Pedal is small in size but does its job well. The pedal has the typical controls for a Tremolo such as Rate (speed), Intensity, and Depth and added bonus is the LED flashes at whatever rate you set. There are a couple distinct tremolo sounds that are a result of the way the efffect was achieved back in the day. Prior to the opto trem (cutoff) was the bias shifting and also the harmonic (maybe the most musical sounding to my ears.) Bear in mind I may not have all my facts straight here but I say that to say these tremolo types are my audible reference. This pedal and the manual make no reference to the type of tremolo. On first test the pedal seems to replicate the tremolo effect quite well. It seemed to me the pedal had a wide rate range, particularly on the high speed end. I found the sound to be very pleasing and usable. Tremolo can be quite effective in creating a swampy warble that enhances the rhythm in the best of cases. Noise floor on this pedal seemed good especially given the price point. The case seems sturdy and well built though I cannot comment on the longtime durability. There is some misleading information on the bottom of the pedal referring to battery usage. This unit uses only a compatible power supply 9V negative center. All in all this is a great buy and seems to be just the ticket for those looking for a proprietary pedal for the Tremolo Effect. Check out the demo video and see what you think.

With the recent pandemic keeping us home these days, I’ve been looking at cheap pedals to add some fun to my signal chain. I had seen some videos about the Kmise “classic” chorus pedal and decided to give it a shot. Ordered late on a Saturday and received it Monday mid-morning, everything packaged safely and in good working order. The construction feels very sturdy and even for a mini-pedal it should stand up to repeated stomps. The knobs feel (mostly) stable. With the effect engaged you can get a decent sweep from subtle to watery warble. Putting a distortion before the pedal keeps the modulation intact, but this pedal seems to shine most when it’s kept clean. Throw in some delay and reverb and you start getting pretty lush. Is this the greatest chorus pedal ever made? Of course not. But I’m a bedroom guitarist and this will certainly add enough character to keep me happy until I need to step up. Put it this way: this pedal was less than lunch the other day for three people. That’s just stupid value these days as even a good used EXH Nano Clone may set you back double that for roughly the same sound. If you’re looking for a quick way to get a chorus effect, you’ll probably be satisfied with this. If two knobs aren’t enough or you’re looking for recording grade equipment, maybe keep looking and spend a little more. This made the afternoon fun. Plus, with the money I saved I can spend more on the pedals I leave on all the time! Four out of five stars, much of that driven by the price. UPDATE: Well, that didn’t last. After the above review I left my gear alone for a few weeks and after switching everything on I had a pedal that lit up, but no change in my sound. After checking my patch cables, power source, etc, I took this effect out and determined it had to be defective. Fortunately I was able to request a refund and brought the pedal back to Amazon at a local 4 Star. I didn’t bother contacting the manufacturer since I didn’t want it replaced. Maybe I just got a dud but if you have one that lasts, good for you! I’ll look to spend a little more for something more trustworthy. I’d give Amazon a 5 but I’m dropping the pedal from a 4 to 1 for not lasting a month.

This is a great delay. I’ve noticed that no two delay pedals, even those of the same brand, will have the exact same characteristics. Every pedal is different and I’ve owned 5 other analog delays over the years (the joyo green analog delay, caline blue ocean, dod fx90, behringer analog delay, and a boss dm3). The behringer was actually quite good and had a really distinct sound when self oscillating, but it stopped producing delays after about a few years, probably due to the cheap plastic components. The Joyo and Caline were essentially copies of each other, but the Caline is more sensitive when adjusting. The DOD was my least favorite, it added a lot of darkness and detuned the repeats in an unappealing way. The boss dm3 was my favorite but being a 35 year old pedal, it’s lost clarity over the years. It also maxes out at 300 ms. This little pedal here really really surprised me. And it could be that it’s just a really good build, the specific one I received. The repeats are quite strong for an analog delay - I already used it on a song I was tracking straight out of the box. After some tweaking and adding some reverb on top, I’m getting some Syd Barrett type of echorec tape delay repeats out of it, which like I said was really surprising. These Chinese bootleg pedals have come a really long way since I discovered them about a decade ago. A lot of analog delays will add darkness to the signal, especially when set to long repeat times. This one maintains clarity - even at long repeats, which is important to me because I’m using this for home recording. The less post eq, the better. It’s excellent and for $22, you really cannot beat the value. I place it second in my chain after a compressor but before the overdrive/dirt box, that really makes it shine. Placement is everything, depending on what sound your after. On a final note - I cannot read pedal schematics or understand circuit boards, so I’m not sure if this is a “true” bucket brigade delay chip or a digital delay, it does behave like an analog delay but has very clear repeats like a dd3. This might matter to some people, but I haven’t investigated further. Thanks again lotmusic for the great value and awesome pedal!
