Pocket Metal Guitar Pedal, AKLOT Electric Effects Pedals Distortion Sounds Mini Single Type DC 9V True Bypass

I wanted a decent flanger to pair with my Phase 90 without spending a lot and this thing delivered. It has a wide range of tones and it took me a while to dial in something i liked, but once I did, I was able to nail the classic "house burning down" tone. So far only issues (and they aren't big issues at all) is that the little knobs do seem to be the most fragile part of this thing, which is otherwise built pretty solid. Also, the true bypass switch makes a very pronounced "pop" when I turn it on. Not a huge problem though, as several of my true bypass pedals make some sort of click or pop when engaged and it's not even noticeable when you're in the middle of playing. Overall, it's a reliable little flange that delivers that "classic" tone and it pairs really well with my dirt pedals without coloring the sound too much.

Works great and compliments what I have including the Flanger from Aklot I purchased recently as well. Worth the $ for sure

You know, it really isn't bad. I'm not a huge fan of overdrive or distortion pedals even though I have had far too many to count. Even built many of them myself, including HV tube pedals. This thing isn't really bad at all. Acceptable level of noise, decent bite, and can be dialed in for a decent amount of sounds. I was looking for something super cheap to use with an old Harmony tube practice amp and get me by until I get my music room built. This does the job very well. Would I use it for gigs? Probably not, depending on what the gig is. But I believe that all tools have their place, and this is a tool that has a place.

This is a great sounding pedal, which I use quite often. Like most overdrives in this price range this is a noisy pedal, no doubt due to cheap wiring. This one is actually VERY noisy, but because the actual overdrive/distortion is top notch, I have had to add a noise gate to my board until I can have it rewired with better wire,connections and solder.

From what I understand, this is the "shrunken head" version of the Joyo classic flanger. Aklot, Lotmusic, Horse, etc. are said to be Joyo subsidiaries. This pedal has much more range and has a more transparent sound than the usual E-Lady clones. When the width is turned all the way down, the delay time becomes the filter switch that is on most mini flanger pedals. It is more metallic and clearer sounding, but not as clean and thin as the digital pedals. My only complaint is there is a bit of rumbling noise when engaged with no signal going in. Not noticable when playing. Great pedal!

The pedal doesn’t not power on. It doesn’t do anything. Right out of the box broken. Smells burnt also. Junk unfortunatelyMaybe the company will see this and offer to replace it but it’s not worth my time to try and figure all that out

I had never heard of AKLOT before and decided to try out the Flanger. It is the size of most micro pedals and construction is solid. Nice and sturdy on/off switch but you don't have to stomp on it to activate it, which is nice. The sound dials in a nice psychedelic flange and I was able to get most sounds that I was looking for from this small pedal. For the money ($20), it allowed me to experiment with adding a dedicated flanger pedal and I am happy that I gave this one a try. I would be curious to try the AKLOT Fuzz.

Works great. One of my better pedals.

This is a surprise and utility! The pedal is solid and I was not expecting much for the price however I did research and I watched the videos which do not do it justice. The pedal had a lot of gain and is very clean . It is very solid build and metal construction feels solid. The tone is good and I got exactly what I wanted which I wanted something that will act like an overdrive but give me a new sound after using mxr pedals and a digitech. This is unique and sounds nice with tons of gain and volume at least 18db gain.. the tone is more of a bias eq not really a rat like filter.. when you get into the high gain distortion past 12o clock setting it breaks up too much but has decent sustain while staying clean so it’s not bad for hammering soloing but it is altering the sound and whole notes kind of get lost in the distortion. Not fuzzy distortion more note altering (bleeding) but still sounds clean. I also like that I can use my volume knob on the guitar and it actually is sensitive enough to attentuate the gain etc with my signal input. I live this pedal as like an overdue I’ve and a distortion tool for guitar. I also fed it from the pedal to a jc amp and worked well

First thoughts opening this pedal, are that it’s well packaged and the construction seems quite sturdy. The graphics on it are appealing and the controls are simple to see. The switch feels like it will hold up reasonably well over time. The LED is quite bright.From a sound point of view, although I have very very limited experience with delay pedals, I like what I can do within its limitations; and there is one major drawback that limits this pedal. I’m not sure if it unique to my pedal, or if this is something that plagues delay pedals as a whole, however if I turn the know for “Repeat” past the 12 o’clock position, it develops a feedback loop that grows in intensity and pitch until i have to turn the pedal off and then turn the repeat knob down. If I don’t turn it down, and simply turn the pedal off, on turning it back on, the feedback continues. Again, if I keep it below the noon position on the repeat knob, I get a nice sound, or at least the sound I’m looking for. That why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3.

Everything has been as advertised. The tone has been enjoyable, plays well with other effects, sturdy feeling. Loving this vintage overdrive.

Black Friday sale, it was cheap and decided to give it a try. It works, it is a chorus pedal. It is noisy, too noisy for what it is. Chorus is…a bit bland and one dimensional.It was dirt cheap, so it’s about what was expected. Enclosure is robust and I’m sure I can mod it to clean it up a bit. At $20 Canadian delivered it’s fine, but not really something I see using unless I can quiet it up a bunch.

Great little pedal. Provides good boost and drive if you got tired pickups. No distortion, just clean drive. No feedback, popping, or fuzz. Very impressive. I already ordered their version of distortion pedal to accompany. Using with 80w amp and a 50 year old Mosrite guitar
