Soulmate Acoustic : This is a very good pedal that I don't like

7 years ago

I used delay, boost, looper and tuners and EQ - so why don't I like this pedal?

My biggest complaint is the looper buttons are way up top to the right. This would be fine I think if you play sitting down but standing on stage I found myself balancing myself so as to be able to turn things off and on in time and in a very awkward way.

I was annoyed by their not being the option of "trails" on the delay and reverb. When you turn them off they are off. No lingering notes. It ended up sounding like a bad edit for me.

The EQ section was nice and I liked the tap tempo feature and shimmer effect but the lack of trails on this was a real let down.

I'm not much for chorus, when I want that sound I play a 12 string. That said you could dial in the chorus to very subtle and that was nice as was the compressor and boost functions.

The build was top notch and everything "felt" great. But just didn't work for me standing up. If I sat down to perform I would've liked this about 27% more.
