This is one of many applications for this pedal. I am not sponsored by Sonicake, but wanted to showcase what this affordable cool pedal can do. I do more technical reviews of gear as opposed to how it sounds. Its important to understand what the controls do so the user can be better informed how to get the sound they are after. If you have questions let me know down in the comments! I did not take this pedal apart, but whichever op-amps they are using, they are well designed/implemented as they do not introduce any additional noise. This pedal has similar featured like the EHX Tri-Parallel Mixer but has less controls. For the price point you get a lot of functionality! Hope this helps others! ‪@SONICAKE‬ ‪@thepedalpicassos‬
