Wow. This is amazing for the price!!! Seriously amazing. Note to buyers. Many of the effects use built in amp cabs and heads designed to mimic some pretty well known classic amps. 'See the booklet for a list of these abd what order they are on the relevant dials' You might find using the pedal straight into headphones sounds amazing but then struggle to get the same tones from plugging into youre amp. The reason this is is because you're amp is designed in what ever way the company who designed it to sound its best when a guitar is directly plugged into it. With this pedal in between you're guitar and amp the amp models then fight against the amp itself and can really affect how it sounds. Classic stomp boxes are best for amps. With multi effects pedals like this when amp types are built it is far better for plug into a pa type generic or frfr speaker. You'll find the pedal sounds a whole lot better just like when used with you're headphones. Well thats my experience anyway with pedals like this. Alternatively when using with a normal amp turn OFF the IR CAB dial to get the inteded sound from the pedal through a guitar amp. 100% defo worth the money. Also using this straight into youre computer is going to create some killer recordings. Oh and the app makes dialing in or editing tones much easier.

I dialled in some great metal sounds using the built in amps/cabs. The knobby interface is good for tweaking, but I used the iPad app to build patches from scratch. You need to keep hold of the paper manual to know what the numbered amps/cabs are. There are 9 banks of 4 patches each. I built my patches like this: bank 1 : four carefully dialled-in metal tones using amps 6, 7, 8, 9 (all with cab 4) bank 2 : copied bank 1 but using cab 8 The result is a varied palette of 8 very good metal tones that cover lots of situations. I also put an OD pedal in front and it sounds amazing. The delay and reverb seem good, though I'm no expert. The reverb can go very wet (sounds like 95% or more) if you want to do some ambient stuff (for which amp 3 and cab 4 are a decent starting point). I recommend this device if you want the knob-per-function for eq and effect tweaking on the fly. I found the physical interface not great for building patches from scratch because there are only dots rather than numbers for identifying amps and cabs. The iPad app works ok for editing patches but I found the IR/effect downloading too fiddly/flaky.

Bought as a backup for a much more expensive unit and more than does the job. Also better and cheaper than buying individual pedals for beginners.

good connectivity, good value, good battery life, settings a bit fiddly and difficult to see at foot level

Really good little pedal. Well made and sounds great. With a little bit of work this can sound great. I’m using it now instead of my old pedal board. Rechargeable built in battery in brilliant

Easy to edit present good tones

Perfect product with high quality features. Highly redommended for guitarists of all levels. Easy to install understandable manual.

I'm having fun with it. Totally good purchase

Ya best thing I bought in a long time Presets are not the best ,but once you turn back the dial It comes alive ya worth every penny Effects are king ,and the option on amps It’s a Swiss Army knife I like it so much Iam getting another one and the black box

The online video reviews are correct; you get a LOT for your money with this modeler/processor/pedal. I mean, you'll obviously get more with most processor units that would cost you several hundred dollars, but this thing punches above its weight. The presets sound good and give you a wide range of styles and sounds. Yet it's also easy to edit them. I have other units that have deep LCD menus (and/or phone apps) that you have to navigate to tweak or edit your sound. This one is is all knobs, and it makes this thing a breeze. (You can also edit and configure through a phone app.) Construction is super-solid. TANK-G is well named. Size-wise it's convenient to throw it in your gig bag or backpack and take it with you. As a matter of fact, between the solid effects, amp and IR cabs, its heavy duty aluminum construction, its small size, and its intuitive stomp button navigation, there is only one aspect that I believe may keep you from gigging it. When you switch between presets, there is a slight drop of signal, just for a brief, brief moment. It's probably not enough to affect the performance, especially in a band situation where the rest of the music may cover it. It's not really that big of a deal; you just need to know about it. Also, there is an app that allows firmware updates, so they may even fix this with a future update. Speaking of the app. You can use it to import presets and IR Cab files. Even without the app, you can connect your phone/tablet/computer via bluetooth and play backing tracks through it as you play. Buy it. I believe it's the best bang for your buck in this arena.

I recently tested an Azor Cube Baby, and was really impressed by its versatility. This Playwell Tank-G is basically a beefed-up version of a Cube Baby, so I was eager to see how it would perform. While the Cube Baby only has 3 save slots, this has a total of 36 editable presets organized in 9 banks of 4. Navigation is relatively easy (everything is marked on the top and it quickly becomes second nature), but my heart sank a little as I realized the presets were mainly geared toward cleans and lower-gain tones. There are dirty sounds, but I found them somewhat lackluster. There’s far more waiting inside than the presets would lead you to believe, however. It has 9 different amp models (I know I said 8 in the video...and the Diezel is number 8, not number 7) that can deliver oodles of guitary goodness. There are two cleans (a Twin and “Archetype”...which might be an AC30?), three overdrives (Marshall JVM410, Friedman 100, Marshall Plexi), and four distortion (Marshall AFD 100, Peavey 6534, Diezel Hagen, EVH 5150). If you invest a little time experimenting with the amps and settings, you’ll quickly find a lot to love. I prefer the knob design to the buttons you find on most multi fx pedals these days, as these feel so much more natural and immediate. The colourful LEDs are also a big plus, and the 8 IR cabinet sims offer a variety of instant EQ variations. Some are bright, some are dark, some are compressed, but they all do something unique. Pros: -Good build quality; aluminum housing feels very durable, as do the switches -Attractive style and beautiful LED lighting -Built-in battery means no more worrying about finding a spot to plug it in -Very good sound quality; lots of tasty tones to be had -9 amp models, 8 IR cab sims, 3 flavours of reverb types, 3 types of delay, 3 mod effects (chorus, phaser, tremolo), and a noise gate -Quite versatile; sort of like a big brother to the Cube Baby (maybe a Cube Teen?) -XLR out to go direct into boards, speakers, and/or recording interfaces -A fair number of videos available online to help if you’re having problems Cons: -Manual is fairly superficial; should contain much more information than it does, and leaves you to figure much out on your own -Amp models are different from the ones on the M-Vave Tank-G -Can accidentally overwrite a preset if you happen to long-press a button while holding or carrying it -Presets are a bit underwhelming and could be ordered better -Volume differences between presets; I think they were trying to set them up so that you could go from quieter cleans to louder dirty sounds, but they missed the mark a bit on that one -Only 3 mod effects; would be nice to have more variety and/or an expression pedal -Really wish it had a looper -Can’t set the delay for a single repeat, and it’s harder to dial in the delay time than it is on the Cube Baby -Not plug and play with a computer or phone; Windows/Mac software and iOS/Android apps can be downloaded from their website, however -Wish it had a little carrying case included I realize I listed a lot of cons above, but those are fairly minor complaints. So far I’m VERY happy with this purchase. I’ve been playing around with it for the last four days, and still haven’t seen everything it can do yet. The sound quality is very good, and it represents a nice middle ground between the more limited Cube Baby and pricier Zoom-style multi fx units. It would be nice to have more effects available, such as a looper and/or wah, but it’s great for what it is. I think $99.99 is a fair price, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. If you're looking for something a little simpler, the Cube Baby would also be a great choice. My rating: 4.5 stars

For the price, I think this is an excellent multieffects pedal. Presets are OK to great. I usually just use it on LIVE mode, essentially like a pedal board. Buttons, knobs and housing feel sturdy enough. Internal rechargeable battery is great and super convenient. Really perfect for garage/small gigs. Only 2 gripes - 1. Microsecond delay when engaging the pedal, really not good for live scenarios but completely workable 2. Lack of boost function, so you may need to rely on your guitar's volume control. Again completely workable. Reverb and digital delay has a nice range. Modulation effects are NOT great; you can still probably dial a decent chorus or flange, but definitely on the lame side. Overall though, I'm extremely happy with this purchase and wouldn't hesitate to buy again if this ever craps out on me down the road.

No regrets. The tank-g is an awesome little fly rig at a ridiculous price. Upload some amps and cabs and a bit of tweaking and you got a great sounding setup. Looks pretty cool too...
