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

Works great, and does what was intended. I put mine after my overdrive and distortion. Sounds great on my cleans too, allowing me to fine tune my sound. No complaints about these inexpensive KMISE pedals, I own several. Fantastic for the price with a good build quality and attractive color coded housings. Basic but does the trick.

Love this pedal!! Plugged into my Martin acoustic/electric and i sounded almost like I knew what I was doing. Love the haunting sound!!! Goes great with songs like "SOUND OF SILENCE " or "WAYFARING STRANGER"

works, but deff get what you pay for

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.

I've ordered quite a bit of gear from Kmise and always been happy with the products. Unfortunately, the pedal was DOA. The other pedal I got with the order is fine. Just one of those things. I'll still be a customer.

The noise gate works as it should from a budget pedal,sure there are better more expensive models but this is just fine for at home practice and I'm happy with it,haven't tried any of their other pedals but I'm curious to see how they work

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.
