Vox - SL2G 2G Multi Effect Stomplab Pedal for Guitar

This is a robust little multi-effects unit with an expression pedal that can be assigned to various parameters. For me it’s usually the wah. Vox were the originators of the wah pedal in the 60s and their iteration in this mini pedal is full of character and is tweakable to give the range and tones you want. The default setting is fine. But obviously it’s more than a wah pedal. There are also 36 amp models covering classic, modern and boutique amps. I’ve not had the experience of playing through all of these amp heads and combos in real life so can’t attest to the accuracy of these models, but I’m surprised and impressed how “amp-like” these models are to play. They respond to picking dynamics and guitar volume/tone adjustments just like a real tube amp will – play softer and you get a cleaner sound, play harder and you get a gradually increasing gain with more harmonic complexity. Vox have done this better than the various ZOOM and Behringer units I’ve been using for years – it really is a massive improvement on what I’ve been used to. It’s important to set the global output from this box to match what you’re feeding it into but this is relatively easily adjusted with a dial and a few button presses – i.e. if your output is a direct line to headphones or a recording console, or if it’s to a particular type of amp (basically Fender or Marshall type combos or a bigger stack) and the output tonality is adjusted accordingly. There’s one cool retro chickenhead knob to target a genre of music (blues, jazz, metal, rock, ballad etc) with 10 preset combinations in each bank. You can move around these presets with the two sturdy foot switches and there are two more chickenhead knobs to adjust parameters of each patch. As well as the amp models there are also many modulation settings replicating various choruses, pitch-shifters, delays, reverbs etc. But this is a small unit and some sacrifices have to be made – storing your own combinations and parameters into the 20 available user spaces takes some working out given the 2-digit LED display. It’s not as informative and intuitive as the ZOOM G5 unit for example. Another compromise it took me a while to work out is that you can’t have an overdrive/distortion/fuzz effect going into a chosen amp model as they’re all in the same bank. So you can’t choose a Big Muff into a1959 Fender Bassman 4x12 for example. But the Big Muff on its own sounds fine and isn’t a problem. But overall I’m impressed. Great amp models as long as you adjust the global output settings to what you’re playing into; very responsive and musical; sturdy build; small size; great effects; 20 user-defined preset patches. Great quality for a good price

I play rhythm guitar with the odd lick but I'm certainly no lead-man. I have been looking out for something to shape my sounds, but needed it to have the option to be battery powered, small and simple to operate. The Stomplab delivers in spades and for what seems to be a bargain price. Out of the box it seems pleasingly well built. Style-wise, the chicken head knobs give it just enough vintage chic to override the 80's led display and it feels like it would happily live on a pedal board and not fall apart on the first gig. It's about the size of two 'boss' type pedals joined together. The quality of the foot switches is good, nice and progressive rather than a hard click. It feels like value for money. I'll quite obviously never use all the sounds it can make, not playing lead, but there are plenty of sounds I will use without resorting to the user presets, of which there are 20, which is plenty enough for me. Also you get a tuner which works well, the LED's varying in brightness with the note to show you your pitch even on the darkest stage. The sounds are great, and underline what can be achieved with modern technology in a small space. The resolution seems good to me and it doesn't sound too digital. I will use this for practising at home or indeed, wherever I like as all you need is an electric guitar, a lead and some headphones (iPod ones will do with an adaptor) and you're away. You can spend more money and get more customisable sounds, but that's something I'll never need. The package you get for less than £50 is super value in a small box that can go anywhere you can play.

Perfect pedal for an experienced guitarist! Purchased this for my son who's an advanced guitarist. (My son aged 13) After spotting it on Facebook Marketplace, I did some research and found it here on Amazon at a great price. The reviews convinced me this would be a better option than having him build an expensive pedal board piece by piece. Though I don't know much about guitar gear myself, I could tell this was a hit from his reaction! Originally planned as a Christmas gift, but couldn't wait to give it to him. He spent over an hour going through at least 30 different sound effects, and the quality really impressed him. What I particularly appreciated was how well it worked with his existing setup - he has a VOX amp and a Crybaby wah pedal, and this integrated perfectly. The pedal really shines when plugged into his amp - he explained that sometimes effects can sound different between practice and performance settings, but this produces distinct, professional-quality sounds that translate well to both scenarios. You can clearly hear the differences between effects, and the sound quality is excellent. For the price point, this offers incredible value with its range of effects. It's perfect for someone who wants professional sound without investing in multiple individual pedals. Seeing my son's enthusiasm and hearing the quality of sound it produces, I / he couldn't be happier with this purchase! Only time will tell, but until he starts making money as a musician it's too early to spend thousands on the high end electronic stuff.

I initially found this quite a challenge to work out how to use it, as the instructions that came with it weren't very helpful (to me, at least). But thankfully, after watching a couple of YouTube tutorials, it all began to make sense. It's a heck of a pedal and because it has so many effects, sounds etc. I've ended up putting all my other pedals into a bag and dumped them out of the way, in the loft. It's sturdy, compact and looks so damn cool. I love it.

音色カテゴリーやゲイン・レベルの調整がつまみ操作なので、直感的＆シンプルで使いやすく、ノイズもほとんどありません。 趣味プラスアルファの使用目的ですが、この価格でこのクオリティは大満足！購入してホント良かったです！

So happy to find this in stock. Delivery was super quick.

I got the Gear Acqusition Syndrome and have collected a bunch of pedals the last couple of years. I could probably have settled with this Vox if I only had known then. You get so many pedals into this medium-sized box that you may not need anything more, at least not if you're just practising and playing for friends like I do. Like others have commented; it can be a bit tricky to dial in your sound. But there are lots of opportunities to bring out the sounds you want! Acoustic or electric. Folk or metal. And most in between. I'm still fiddling with dialling in my sounds. It's a bit time-consuming, but I think its worth it. I will have 20 preset sounds to choose from just by stomping the switches. That is the biggest advantage with this thing and the reason I bought it. There are another 80 factory presets of which some are useful (and some are just awful). After a while, I found that one of the stomp switches didn't always worked. I opened up the bootom of the box and found that there are springs underneatch the stomp switches that probaly are intended to give a soft feeling when stomping. But they didn't quite reached the micro switches beneath. I fixed this by adhering a 2 mm thick tape on top of each micro switch. Replacing these with quality stomp switches may be the best way to go. Any way and all in all, its well worth the 100€ I paid for it.

I'm only going to review this as a direct output to headphones, as that is the only way I use it (to avoid annoying the family with my face-smelting shredding), and not as a standard pedal before the amp. That would yield very different results based on the amp used. Fortunately this effect processor also has amp simulation, which is great! Firstly, for versatility, you can't ask for much more. From bold clean tones to dirty overdriven crunchy tones to ful high gain metal-style amps, this pedal is for any musician playing in any genre or style. On top of that, there is nearly any pedal you can want, or some form of it. Great to practice and explore new sounds and effects as well, and with 100 presets ranging from clean to metal and 20 additional user presets, you've got near endless combinations of tones to effects to play with. Secondly, when it comes to tone (and keep in mind I am only rating the direct output), it's pretty great for the price. I used to own a $299.99 line 6 spider (I know, I know, done make fun of me, I was young and dumb) and this sounds wayyyyy better than that ever did. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, you can dial in some truly amazing deep, rich tones. I especially love the delay/reverb. I know your first instinct will be to open it up, plug it in, and just start shredding on some presets, but let me tell you that is well with the time to invest on setting up a couple user presets that you're into first, because, to be perfectly honest, the 100 presets are somewhat lackluster. They're great to try out and get some ideas on cab/amp/modulation combinations, but dialing in your unique tone is way better imo. Lastly, ease of use. As I aforementioned, there is a bit of a learning curve with all the abbreviations and options, but keep that little book handy and it'll get you through it. I actually downloaded the users manual online and printed out the settings full page and it's way more useful. Anyways, in conclusion, I can't speak to its practical use for gigs or on the road use, but this is all you need to jam at home and sound great. USER DISCRETION ADVISED: This will not make you play like Eric Johnson (but you can find someone tones, at least)

Costruzione robusta ed ottima qualita’ percepita. Processore potente con 100 programmi preimpostati non modificabili, con suoni di notevole qualita’ che vanno a coprire tutti i generi possibili, in piu’ 20 effetti memorizzabili (user) con una notevole quantita’ di parametri e valori da inserire a piacimento in grado di soddisfare i piu’ esigenti. Ai fini pratici conviene memorizzare nei primi 4 o 5 programmi “user” i propri suoni preferiti e piu’ utilizzati in modo da selezionarli rapidamente con i pulsanti up e down. Un valore aggiunto e’ il pedale, che gestisce volume, Wah ed altre espressioni. Il manuale di uso al primo impatto sembra poco chiaro (no italiano) e stranamente le pagine con le scelte di tutti gli effetti e i parametri (da inserire come ho detto nei programmi liberi “user”) sono poste alla fine, dopo i manuali in inglese, francese, spagnolo e tedesco, cioe’ a pagina 63; Forse qualcuno non se ne e’ accorto e questo rende il manuale di difficile comprensione. Con un po’ di pazienza e conoscenza media di una delle lingue del manuale, in un paio di ore ci si impadronisce dello strumento con grande soddisfazione. Forse un po’ piu’ grande e quindi con un dispay piu’ esteso sarebbe stato piu’ gradito, ma credo si sia pensato alla portabilita’. Per quanto mi riguarda mi ha solo disturbato il fatto che per cambiare le batterie, bisogna svitare i quattro piedini e rimuovere l’ intero pannello inferiore, invece del consueto vano con sportello. Chi vuole usare un alimentatore non si prendera’ questo disturbo. Il prezzo e’ davvero basso e il valore notevole. Presa confidenza, lo amerete piu’ di quanto possiate immaginare. Imballo perfetto e spedizione fulminea come ci si aspetta da Amazon.
