SORAN Dual Stomp Multi-Effects Guitar Pedal

A great pedal

A great entry level Nam capable machine

A HIDDEN GEM!!! Great little pedal at a steal of a price!

Update: Ran this pedal with my live right for 4 gigs. After dialing it in and getting the levels and EQ to my liking, I can say with confidence that this little guy absolutely rips! Tons of compliments on my tone and when I tell other guitarists and peers that this pedal was under 100 bucks their jaws drop. I added a video of my bands most current gig with my review for context. Definitely would recommend this lil powerhouse of a pedal to any guitarist or bassist who needs a reliable amp modeler/effects pedal on a budget.

Recieved one of these little gems for a birthday gift and boy oh boy, this little guy RIPS! I am a gigging guitarist in a heavy metal band and though I haven't used it yet in a live setting, I do plan on using it live very soon. But, I have used it on my gigging rig running through the effects loop on my Marshall VS100 head that is pushing a 4x12 Randall cab with Jaguar speakers to test out the tones and editing options on the preset tones and was absolutely shocked at how good they all sound especially the high gan effects and overdrive. Tons of clarity, the noise gate does its job perfectly, the all around tone I have achieved with little to no editing of the preset effects has really impressed me for a pedal in this price range. I have not dived into uploading NAM files or anything yet but plan on doing so very soon seeing as I use NAM in my own recording sessions and have amp models I already wanna test out. I would highly recommend this pedal to any guitarist who need a solid sounding amp modeling/effects processor on a budget. I will update my review upon using it in a live setting. Don't hesitate if you're thinking about it, just pull the trigger and add it to your cart you won't be disappointed.

It's aighhht

It's good but I feel like it needs more effects like a wah or pitch shifter, the tones are good, the app needs maintenance for sure, the drum machine is actually pretty good, I run this through a 20 watt practice amp and it sounds like a full rig for just 75 dollars so I can't complain too much, you can get some good death metal tones out of it too

Incredible modeler! Highly recommend!

All that this modeler offers is what I have been looking for! NAM profiles capabilities with my own IRs . Small footprint. Expression pedal. Battery operated. Bluetooth for music streaming or audio from iPhone/ipad or computer to jam along with guitar or bass. Excellent modeler!

Great sounding, easy to use, looks great, lots of functions, awesome value!

This is an excellent multi effects pedal, with very few drawbacks. I would easily say this is best in class for the under $100 price range. It has pretty much everything you’d want in a small multi effects unit (including looper and drums), with no major drawbacks. It’s very impressive.

Here are a few highlights that set this apart from other (mostly older) units.

1) Everything important is only one or two button clicks away. There is no digging through 10 menus just to turn an effect on/off – the important buttons are all right on the front of the unit, and just take a single or double tap to change. Whoever designed the user interface did a really good job. This is the main thing that separates it from other units, in my opinion. These days almost all effects units sound good, but not all of them are so easy to navigate.

2) It’s USB powered, with an internal battery. There is no 9V DC plug, so if you’re putting this on a pedal board, make sure your pedal supply has a USB output (most pedal supplies do these days). If not, you’ll just have to run on battery.

3) It has a looper and drum machine, and the looper syncs with the drum machine. This is a must-have feature these days, and is harder to do with separate loop and drum pedals. Both sound great. The looper also has an auto-start function when it detects volume.

4) The USB port can connect directly to PC, or to a mobile device with OTG functionality. This lets you use it as a USB audio interface directly into your DAW, or record directly into your phone. I didn’t test this function, but I assume it works, and plan to use it in the future.

5) The manual is great, easy to read, very complete, and actually explains how this works. However, it’s easy enough to use, and labeled well enough, that I mostly didn’t need the manual, except to figure out how to change the effects chain order.

6) There are global and local controls for both EQ and volume, which is really nice! Literally every effect, including drum and loop, can be set at a different volume, which is awesome.

7) You can adjust the input sensitivity for different guitar volumes. This is a very nice feature that I use a lot. It also has stereo outputs, as well as headphone output, and they work simultaneously (headphone and ¼ inch out).

8) It also has Bluetooth connectivity, AUX input, and an app that goes with it, but I didn’t test any of those things. I’m old school and just like to turn the knobs. It should also work as a USB audio interface, but I didn’t test that either.

9) The expression pedal works great, and is easy to calibrate, but I don’t use it much. This same unit is also offered without the pedal for a modest savings, which I would also recommend.

10) It’s mostly focused toward guitar, but there are several bass presets and effects as well.

11) The body is all-metal construction, with metal foot switches, and overall feels very solidly built.

There are a few minor drawbacks.

1) The tuner is not great. It works, but only indicates if you’re high or low. It doesn’t give you any indication of how close you are to the proper pitch, so it’s a bit harder to use.

2) As mentioned before, there is no 9V jack, so you’re either using battery, or you need to have a USB supply nearby or on your pedalboard.

Even with the few drawbacks, this unit is awesome in its price range. I have absolutely no reservations recommending this to someone shopping in this range of the effects pedal market. You’re getting a lot of value here. I have noticed that a few different brands seem to use this same “core software” with different (smaller, plastic, etc.) enclosures and interface controls, potentially at lower cost. This unit is far superior in its user interface (e.g. a dedicated button for everything), all-metal build, and including the pedal. I would highly recommend spending the few extra bucks for the metal build and extra buttons. Easy 5 stars.

Versatile NAM+ CAB IR portable rig

Already recreated a classic 1963 Surf rig for Dick Dale

Can drag any block in any order - fast switching time, good Amp/Cab modeling -that's before you start fiddling with NAM Amp file and CAB IR wav file

Stereo FX too.

I review most Guitar MFX at VGUITARFORUMS -this SORAN DUAL STOMP is a great versatile tool , with better sounds and functions compared to Valeton GP-5 or Sonicake PocketMaster

Simultaneous use of NAM amps and separate user CAB IR Block - solves the no cab issues on other affordable NAM capture file products

Already busking my Surf medley using Bluetooth connected backing tracks from my phone

The sound you have been in search of with every boutique pedal you have purchased in the past.

When I first saw the little white stomp box my initial thoughts were "oh good, another gimmicky trinket with a few fairly common settings" but boy was I wrong. I first started playing it (with a pair of decent headphones and my favorite Strat) and I played it for about 4 hours, only stopping to leave this review. I'm nowhere near getting into all the goodies that this little beast has to offer...I know i haven't because i have yet to even touch the expression pedal or half the other buttons. I haven't even cracked the manual because using the stomp box has been so intuitive. I have a couple of pretty well known processors (and dozens and dozens of pedals) but none of them have that "thing" that we all really wanted to hear when we first got them. We all wanted them to be more than a simple string of integrated guitar fx hooked together in one unit, but that's mostly what we end up with anyway. But this has that studio rack sound, or that "certain something" that really makes you feel like you have what the pros have. I'm not joking when I say that i have no less than $10,000 worth of pedals from all over...Everything from overpriced, custom made boutique pedals to all the usual suspects, and many are really nice pedals for sure, but they're missing that certain.. I didn't know what.. That thing I hear when i listen to pros. This little unasumming rectangle appears to be something nearer to that missing link to my playing and recording, and I couldn't be happier with it's versatility and the ability it has to adjust every facet by single cents. For you, it might not be the huge "wow" processor that it was for me, but for the price, you owe it to yourself to give it a try and see.
