Kmise Tremolo Electric Guitar Effects Pedal Mini Single Type DC 9V True Bypass

First, I am bound to state that I received both these pedals at no cost for review. Having gotten that out of the way ...KMise Tremolo PedalWhat is a tremolo? As relates to electric guitar, tremolo is a modulation in the volume of the sound. That's all. Back in the way early days, this was an effect that could be implemented very inexpensively using the often-unused half of a pre-amp tube in an amp. This made it a popular feature for amp manufacturers, which in turn led to its use by musicians, especially back when there were basically no other effects.I have several old tube amps with tremolo, and this pedal does a pretty good imitation of the genuine article. The tremolo effect varies from almost undetectable to a full underwater warble kind of sound. I also have some more modern tremolo effects, and I think blindfolded you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference. The pedal is true bypass, the full signal goes through with the power disconnected. When the effect is enabled, the volume does go up a bit, but with basically no additional noise.I've seen some complaints that this pedal doesn't really kick in until you have the intensity half way up. Actually, more like 1/3 the way up, and that is pretty much how an old tube tremolo worked. To turn an old built-in tube tremolo off, you simply turn it all the way down, there is no switch. As far as the rate goes, this pedal is also comparable to the real thing.For the price, this pedal is surprisingly well made, with an all-metal case, and solid-feeling switch. The pots are smooth and quiet, but the shafts are plastic, not metal, and the knobs come off rather easily. The jacks are tight. There is no provision for a battery, you will need a 9 volt power supply. I use a 1Spot. The lack of a battery does not bother me at all, I never use batteries in effects. Modern batteries are awful, they all leak, you are asking for trouble.Inside, there are two stacked circuit boards, one for the electronics, and the other for input/output/power/etc. All the components are modern miniature surface-mount, everything is very neat. The jacks, switch, and pots are supported solidly by the sturdy metal case, not the circuit boards.I'm not a cork-sniffer. You can spend $200 on a tremolo pedal. Would that be better? I hope so !!! This pedal does everything you could want from it for $20. It is a terrific value - well-made, quiet, and sounds fine. I would not take it out on the road and stomp it every night with hob-nailed boots, not with those plastic pot shafts. But for bedroom or studio use, it is perfectly good, and a great way to pick up an old-time effect.Summary: I like this pedal.================================================KMise Phase PedalA phaser is a fairly simple device. It adds a swirling effect to the sound. Most 'classic' phasers have just a single control for the speed or rate of the effect. The only other control on this pedal is a mechanical true-bypass switch. This effect cannot take a battery, you will need a 9v power supply, I recommend a 1Spot. Batteries today are expensive and very poorly made anyway.Construction is good, with a strong two-piece anodized aluminum casing. All the controls and jacks are supported by the case, not the circuit boards. The only weakness is the plastic shaft of the knob, which could break if abused. That makes this pedal more suited for the studio or bedroom than the road. Mine has an error in the printing on the case - it is a "Vintage Phas". Ha.When engaged, the pedal gives you the classic phase effect, with no noise or change in volume. There's just not a lot to a phaser. I have one other phase pedal, and the two are quite comparable, this one having a more pronounced effect and greater speed range. For the price, this pedal is a great value - good sound and good construction, small enough to fit anywhere.Summary: I like this pedal.

This pedal was OK, I was expecting something a little more like an MXR phase 90. This pedal is more like a flanger. The knob turned all the way to the left is faster than I expect more like a 5%. I was looking for something a lot slower. And the fast side is over the top. A lot more than I’d expect. If you took the phase off flange it would be a better description. This pedal is noiseless. If you’re looking for a slow phase, I would not even try this pedal out. But if you’re looking for a fast oscillation, then this might be for you.

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!

Not bad at all! Sounds very clean, no humming or buzzing what's so ever. Just do keep in mind you will need to buy a power supply/pedal board with power supply if you do not have it already. I strongly recommend this for beginners or intermediate players. 10/10 for sure.

When I got this I was initially kind of disappointed. I was looking for that deep pulsation like on crimson and clover. What I got was more of a stutter without the ebb and flow of that vintage tremolo sound. So I put it on the shelf and didn't think much of it until I was reworking my pedal board. When I came back to the product page here on Amazon I saw some info in the other reviews that wasn't here before. I figured I had nothing to lose so I disassembled the pedal and found 2 tiny trim pots on the board. As I turned each screw while strumming open strings on my guitar I found that sweet spot where the effect is most pronounced. One pot set the effect level and the other seems to be kind of like the squelch control on a cb radio. Turn it top far and there's noise. Turn it down too much and it seems to effect dynamics somewhat. If this was set properly from the factory this would be a 6 out of five star product. Since it seems to be a total crap shoot it's a solid 3.

Excelente para engordar el sonido de la guitarra y bajo, tonos presentes sin perder la dinámica, siento que el Sustein y el Ataque están invertidos, o tienen tiempos muy rápidos el sustein para mi fue acomodarlo como si fuera el ataque pero mas como un Ataque lo sentí como una perilla de Gain y el Ataque ahora si la acción de compresión con tiempos rapidos de liberación por eso no se ve tan afectada la dinámica si quieren saber el potencial de este pedal dejen el Volumen al 100 y experimenten con las perillas de Ataque y Sustein Buen día

I've been playing guitar for 40 years. Boss and Yamaha were my go-to pedals back when I was actively playing gigs, so I wasn't really expecting a lot from this inexpensive pedal. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised at how good this sounds... it gave me just enough chorus to add that extra layer of sound without getting annoying or too wonky sounding, and their "true bypass" really is... there is zero noise going through the pedal whether it is in use or bypassed. Impressive.I'm just getting back into recording music, and although I am a rhythm player (mostly country) on acoustic and archtop guitars, I'm going to start adding other pedals from the KMISE line to my arsenal because not only are they a great value for the money, I can achieve other sounds and tones if I need them for certain tracks without breaking the bank.For how inexpensive these are compared to the bigger name brands, can you afford not to have a few of these pedals in your musical toolbox?

First off, the switching is very quiet like more expensive brands and there's no volume drop either. Personally I would take with a huge pinch of salt if someone says there's volume drop on this pedal, it just doesn't happen. I moved it around onto two different pedal boards with no issues. The phaser effect is mild and sonically it's crisp yet warm in tone. Outstanding in my opinion in a before noon setting which is where I think phaser pedals work best.The build quality is very good too, aluminum casing and the input and output jacks are not connected to the circuit board either which is a.plus point for sure.I'm a gigging musician and after testing this pedal out thoroughly I'm going to be using this for gigs. Will it last and stand the test of time? I don't know, but it ticks all the boxes so far and after looking at the internals I'm feeling very confident it will prove durable for gigging This phaser may be dirt cheap but the sound quality is easily up there with the likes of MXR in my opinion and the build quality isn't far behind either...

No vas a irte a un tour con él. Pero en verdad es muy bueno, sirve muy bien, necesitas buenos cables para que suene mejor. El volumen es increíble.Buen tono, se acopla bien a la pastilla que pongas.

This is for the Kmise Digital Delay (brown pedal). I use this in my amp's effects loop. When I use somewhat 'normal' settings it does its job well. What I mean by that is if I turn the knobs (Time, Repeat, Level) nearly all the way full then it gets incredibly messy and noisy, however, many other pedals do that as well. Overall I like this pedal for the way I need to use it.The pedal feels somewhat solid; however, the footswitch is very noisy when you step on it (not through the amp though). Like many of these inexpensive mini pedals, not sure how long the footswitch will last.It's a great pedal if you don't have the cash to get something else or if you want to experiment with what a digital delay can do.
