Sound: This device can make dramatic or subtle alterations to your sound. It instantly can bring your signal a lot of clarity. But once it's in your chain, it's hard to go without it. Feature: Very basic features. Has unbalanced connections, but that makes it perfect for my bass rig. Attached power cable is nice (no need to worry about it coming off in your rack rig). Ease of Use: Too easy. Engage & twist knobs until it sounds right. Even a monkey could get excellent tones out of his bass rig. Quality: Seems to be very solid. Pretty heavy & sturdy feeling. Not too wide so it should fit in just about any rack. No issues for me. Value: It's so affordable. The fact that it has two channels makes it very versatile. I use one out for my amp & one out for the PA on my bass rig. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed to call. The Wow Factor: It's got a green & red light. So, so sexy. Overall: I'm very happy. Took a chance with the price & it has been a very good investment. No real reason to upgrade unless you need balanced connections.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I don't know how it does what it does, but it does. Feature: Two knobs, a button and 1/4" connects. Nothing else needed. Ease of Use: Plug and play Quality: Built for the rack. Value: One of the best pieces for the rack at a great price. Manufacturer Support: Don't need it. The Wow Factor: Sleek, no extras....would be cool if it had meters but I'm not complaining. Overall: I didn't even realize that I needed it, but now I will not play without it. I'm a mobile DJ and sound guy for some local bands. I use it for my DJ gear and I have used it for several applications with bands. I thought that my sound need little improvement, but when I plugged this puppy in; Presto, it's magic. The clarity is amazing and it is silent in the loop. When I do sound for small bands, I don't EQ the monitors and I have had some trouble with the muddy sound coming straight out of the amp. I put this in the loop and it was like having a tweaked EQ but cheaper.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: THAT IS WHAT this is "QUALITY SOUND"! This fixes many "BAD" sounds and actually makes them sound "GREAT"! VERY SIMPLE! Let me tell you it works! This is without a doubt the single BEST piece of electronics for making any sound sound its BEST!!! WOW! Feature: There are only two knobs to turn and that is all! VERY SIMPLE, VERY EASY, VERY GOOD RESULTS! Ease of Use: If you can plug in a wire and turn a knob you are half way there! But you will have to plug in two and turn two of each to make it work along with a power button! Are you confused yet? Quality: OMG! How did they do it? VERY GOOD QUALITY throughout. It is DBX and that alone means TOP QUALITY in the music world! There is NOTHING in the world which can do what DBX has done! It is MAGICAL! Value: This could sell for hundreds more and people would still buy it! It is really something special! If you ever use one I GUARANTEE you will WANT ONE. The best part is you can bypass it and listen without yet push a button and activate it. Believe me you will become ADDICTED to the clarity and definition it produces and will NEVER play without it again! You will INSTANTLY become a better sounding player and your fans will NOTICE! ON/SWEET SWEET SWEET SOUND or Off/DULL DULL DULL MUDDY SOUND Manufacturer Support: I have NEVER needed them but I did call them and actually spoke with a person and did not have to wait! The Wow Factor: I am in LOVE with this unit but have NO SEXUAL THOUGHTS about her! She does feel SMOOTH and CLICKY when I turn her on!!!!! She is SOOOOOOOOOO SWEET SOUNDING I wanna hear her SCREAM!!! Overall: FOREVER she will be in my RACK!

Sound: It is like taking the blankets off your amp. It make your amp almost twice as loud, twice as clear, and twice as awsome. I have a marshall stack, and without the sonic maximizer, the amp sounds comparitivly terrible. AWSOME!!! Feature: Perfect. Nothig else is needed on it. It is once again...AWSOME!!! Ease of Use: Even a caveman could operate the sonic maximizer. It has two knobs and one button. Could it be any simpiler??? AWSOME!!! Quality: I have not yet experienced any problems, and I plan not to. It seems very sturdy and reliable. No Problems at all. AWSOME!!! Value: This product is a must buy for any guitar/bass player in any style of music. The value on this product is great. If it ever broke, (which it won't), i would happily go buy another one...the value is AWSOME!!! Manufacturer Support: I assume that the support would be a 10/10 as well. Like everything else...probably AWSOME!!! The Wow Factor: Well put it this way, if I saw this on someone elses rig, I would definatley want it. With this amazing device, it looks like you know what your doing, because not many people have it. It is an AWSOME product!!! Overall: Just buy the Sonic Maximizer. You will never be sorry. This is probably my favorite piece of guitar equipment that I own. Just as a word of advice, make sure you buy the RACK SYSTEM, not the floor pedal. The floor pedal was the biggest waste of my 100$. Awful. BUY THE RACK SYSTEM!!! The sonic maximizer is AWSOME!!!
