M-VAVEM-VAVE TANK-G Multi-effects Guitar Pedal, 36 Presets, Rechargeable Battery, Delay, Reverb, Modulation, Preamp, Darkgreen

I am a Helix Floor user. Why would I look at this inexpensive little box? Well, it can fit in the Helix backpack, runs on a battery, and sounded like an inexpensive backup. It has enough connections to keep me properly running if something were to happen to my Helix at a gig or rehearsal. Oh....it also handles third party IRs and captures.First thing, download the software and update the firmware in it.Upon initially plugging it in and running through presets I was not impressed. The presets are worse than most and how they are combined in any given bank makes no sense. Just go to live mode, turn off the effects, pick an amp and cab that you are familiar with, and dial in a tone just like you would a "real" amp. Quite honestly what comes stock is not terrible. The fun begins when using different speaker IRs. Better speaker IRs make these amps sound much better. Then, start having fun with captures. This really opened up a new world for me. Rather impressed.The effects aren't bad but you have minimal control. But they sound good and you can dial them in. Draw back to this device is that there is no effects loop. However, not a big deal for me as I want this as a grab and go backup and something to mess with captures at home. Probably not the best device to build a pedal board around.Build quality is really nice. I don't see it moving much on stage. The four feet are thin though so I'm thinking of gluing some thin rubber to the back for better grip. Ergonomically, the 4 buttons are spaced far enough apart that you won't hit two at the same time to change a patch. However they are close enough together that you can hit two at the same time when you want.Will this ever take the place of my Helix? Nope! Is it competent enough to take over as a band aide? Yes if I set it up correctly. I do not believe that anyone at a gig would notice the difference in tone between my Helix and this device. I play in a rock cover band and really only need a few core sounds. I would recommend this to people wanting an inexpensive backup/flyrig to their existing modeler/capture player, people wanting to play with/experiment with captures and/or IRs, and those that just need a quick and solid solution to go direct to FOH. A lot of cool things can be done with box. The software is easy to use and gives you more options but you can easily use the controls themselves without connecting it to a computer.So a device capable of all of this at this price point deserves five stars from me.

I used to play when I was a teen (early 80's), but stopped in the 90's. Now my 17 year old son is learning to play, so I got this for him, based on some YouTube reviews. I have to say this thing is pretty awesome! It's a little to get use to navigating with the pushbuttons, but the sound is amazing! I wish there was something like this back in the 80's...

Great idea and very compact. If they put better amp models in it this would be an amazing compact guitar all in one unit for sure. Not giving 5 star because of the amp models sounding cheezy. Could be so much better and would buy another one if they made some major improvments.

Realy Nice.

It is stunning how much is packed into this pedal for the money.

Excelente compra y regalo para mi hijo que la está disfrutando al máximo

This little blue bar of knobs and switches is amazing. The effects it produces are great. 9 banks of 4 effects each in the preprogrammed and they’re all different in some way. Plus, you can go into a tweak mode very easily and tweak every one of the effects. Switching to the tuner mode is easy and it’s pretty accurate as well. This pedal is built very nicely. It’s all metal construction and it does NOT feel cheaply made. The LEDs are all bright on the knobs and switches. Plus the M-Vave logo on the back changes colors, so that’s nifty lol. 😂The app is okay, I haven’t played with it much so I can’t speak to that. But the app does allow you to change the colors of the LEDs around each switch, so that’s cool. Battery life seems to last for quite awhile.The one flaw that it has, there is a delay when switching between effects. Kinda like the volume dips when you select a different switch. If you are needing a box that’ll switch effects within a microsecond while you are gigging, this won’t work. But if you are in the studio recording or even just messing around, this is fantastic!The setup I’ve been using on this is thru my 2002 Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Gibson Les Paul Custom, G&L Legacy Strat, G&L ASAT Classic Bluesboy.Running thru different guitars, you can definitely hear the different sounds and tones. This pedal doesn’t just “blanket” the sound of the guitar, it does enhance. It also works well with your volume and tone knobs. Turn the volume down and your overdrive will clean up a bit.TL:DR. I give this 9/10. Sounds great. Battery life great. Switching could be faster.

Currently, I am only utilizing one capability of this device as I have yet to learn how to use this effects pedal to its full capacity. The accompanying instructions are not very clear and appear to be rather complicated for this neophyte guitarist. For the price, however; it's a good initial investment in an effects pedal. Not a lot of information out there on the Internet as I have looked. Then again, maybe it is my l imitations that prevent me from utilizing this device to its full capacity.
