Rowin Acoustic AC Stage Acoustic Guitar Simulator Pedal

This is one amazing little pedal! From the weight and high-end look of the packaging and pedal when you first recieve it, all the way to the absolutely astounding performance and clarity of this nano looper, it's on another level completely from what I had been expecting for this kind of affordability. But to be completely honest, just as with my Alpha Force pedal from Donner I took a chance on last winter, I'm total enamored by this ingenious little looper. I'm normally strictly working on multiple DAWs these days, only because I prefer that kind of fully submersive control and my own music is weird as s***. So I wasn't expecting to be so incredibly taken with my purchase. Ivr just never had any interest in a looper pedal even though the demand has skyrocketed enough the last few years But this little nano looper is is truly amazing. It's crystal clear for me, really intuitive and tremendously simple even after only aftert two minutes of use (at MOST!!!), it works far better than I could have ever possibly expected it to, and the amount of controls you can manuever with the push of just the one button is unfathomable. Using active pickups through a high gain distortion (Donner Alpha Force), and then into a high gain amp(!!), all the way from hyper-active pups in my heavt metal Strat, when bypassed or active, this mutha is silent. I do mean silent too. I will try to make a short video in case anyone happens to be on the fence still. It's the quietest pedal I may have ever played through, as to when the effect is in bypass mode. Even as it's active you still can't hear anything except the music you intended to come out if this surprising little guy. No RF pollution or distracting background humming, buzzing, or even bonechilling ghost-like demonic growls. It's nice and clean and impressive including all the way to ten minutes of looping on this dude. Just BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN you use a power supply with the CORRECT POLARITY! The reviews about their looper crapping out after a little while seems like bad luck of the draw, but with my experience so far, the customer service level is just as impressive and professional as the atmospheric level of elation I'm enjoying due to buying this thing. I have been impressed with every detail in respect to this looper pedal, and just as importantly, with this company. I can honestly profess that I'm grateful I decided to try this looper. Nice job, Rowin! You've knocked this one out of the park and halfway through the moon.

This is the best noise gate for the price, hands-down. It works exactly as expected and fits really nicely at the end of my pedal board. No more annoying hum/noise! It immediately made my rig sound more professional. I'd highly recommend this pedal.

For the cost and functionality, it's pretty difficult to complain about the Rowin noise gate pedal. I mainly use this pedal when using distortion, and it does a pretty good job of reducing hiss. When stacking distortion with overdrive, I noticed the gate tended to cause signal decay quickly, so I had to tweak it a little to find a sweet spot, which took around ten minutes. Once I found the sweet spot for my set up, I tested it with my modulation pedals as well, and I had no issues. The compact size of the noise gate pedal is also a huge plus for gigging. I prefer a lightweight, compact pedal board, so this pedal is perfect for my needs. The pedal require 12v power, pretty much standard for the majority of guitar pedals on the market. I use a typical 12v power supply, and the Rowin noise gate works with it just fine. This is a solid pedal for any musician looking for a compact, inexpensive noise gate.

Amazing period .

This is a great tuner. This is my second. I keep guitars and amps in multiple rooms and it's very handy and quick to use. I also have a Peterson strobe tuner, the Rowin is just as accurate and quicker and costs less. Great on a board or sitting on an amp, whatever. Easy to read in dim or dark rooms.

The Rowan High Precision Chromatic Tuner Pedal is a satisfactory product if you keep metered expectations. The positives: Solid construction, mini-pedal size, standard 9v power, well lit display, price. The Negatives: Feedback about tuning is delayed, sensitivity is touchy, display letters appear oddly, accuracy can be questionable. I was very excited to try this pedal out; the price was great and at first-glance it looked like it would outclass its cost. This product definitely has features that are commendable. The feel of it is nice: good weight, jacks are tight and sturdy as is the foot switch, solid case, and finish is clean. The mini-pedal size does not take up a ton of room, yet the display is large and bright. Standard 9v power sourcing makes it easy to add to current board and no batteries to worry about. However, in use, the pedals shortcomings were quickly evident. The biggest issue is a lag between strums, and the pedal display indicating tuning. Also, the pedal did not consistently pick up strums. These are issues I'd expect from a value-priced headstock tuner, not any tuner pedal. Diming-out the volume knobs helped a bit, but the lag remained and some strums were still missed. While bright and large, the display oddly shows 'D' and 'G', with them displaying more like an 'O' and a hooked 'C' respectively. Another quirk of the pedal is that immediately upon completion of tuning, the pedal displayed all strings as being immediately out-of-tune again by the exact amount I had started tuning at. But, with slight adjustment of the tuners, the pedal then showed over-tuned. In closing the Rowan High Precision Guitar Chromatic Tuner Pedal Ture Bypass tuner pedal is on-par with an average value-priced headstock tuner. This is an "ok" product, if you don't expect it to perform to the level of more expensive, brand-name units. It is a classic "you get what you pay for".

When I first bought this and used it for a few months it worked fine but then I started hearing this awful noise coming out of my amp, so I started to check all my pedals on my pedal board and as soon as I lightly touched the push button on this pedal the static noise was over the top loud. The push button wobbles and is causing a bad connection. I don't recommend buying this pedal. It's ironic to have a noise killer that causes noise.

edit: received another pedal from Rowin, directly. It works a lot better than the first one. Great company with superb tech support. original review: Been going crazy, picking up a few Rowin pedals (this tuner, Trelicopter, Dumbler, Chorus, Plexion, etc). This tuner is the opposite of high-precision. I tested it with a strat and Les Paul-- when it says it's in tune, it isn't quite there. Usually flat by about 20 cents. I also had my friend test it out with his strat (perfect intonation, perfectly set up)... same issue. We also tested it by detuning each string to see if the tuning improved when strings were way out, but... nope. 20 cents or so off. Testing with one of those handheld Korg tuners showed each string wasn't quite there. A quick strum of an open chord told us the same. In theory, great price for a simple tuner. But high-precision... no. What would be really helpful is if the blue LEDs were faint when "close" and then bright when "on point." Similar to the way the TC Polytune works... bright LEDs when you're on point, and slightly darker when you're not. Wanted to hang onto this tuner but it's not happening... put in for a return a few days ago. Btw, I teach guitar, do a lot of home recording, and have been playing for over 10 years. I've owned/used the Boss tuners, TC's Polytune, Snarks, and those handheld Korgs... each of those tuners works great, but this doesn't come close. Cheap pedals and their effects can sometimes not quite achieve their desired sound, but I can usually roll with that. The tuner's the most important pedal on your board... invest in a fully accurate one. Nice try, Rowin.. but, some tweaks are definitely needed.

Super recomendo. Item indispensável para um guitarrista.

I actually use this for a bass and after much tweeking and fiddling I found the sound I was after. Not as good as a proper rocking wah, obviously, but, as I only use it for 1 or 2 songs, it gets the job done. Seems to be very robustly built and should last a good while too.

Funciona, cumple pero está muy básico. Para mas opciones, conviene invertir un poco más.

cumple su función, no lo recomendaría.

O pedal só consegue afinar, e de forma não muito boa, as cordas 1 e 2 do baixo elétrico. Além disso, a leitura da nota no visor é muito ruim e quando se afina a segunda corda, D (Ré), no visor aparece a nota G (sol).
