Maybe it’s because over the years I’ve been working more and more in studios/home and not on stages, running and jumping around, the smaller size didn’t bother me. But I can understand the feeling!

Hey everyone, I just got the Hotone Soul Press II for review (kindly provided by Hotone) and I have to tell you, I’m impressed. The Hotone Soul Press II is a 4-in-1, true bypass pedal that offers volume, expression, wah, and volume/wah capabilities. This guy is as sturdy as a Boss pedal (doubles as self defense object if needed). The action is pretty even and balanced, giving some good control over the overall output of the pedal. Plus, the side LEDs show the pedal's position without needing to step on it. Despite its small size, it's comfortable to use and provides accuracy even for those with larger feet (size 46 here!) The volume and expression functions work just as expected, and the wah feature is pretty cool. It has a wide range of usable tones, from soft flanger-like sounds to a full-on Cry Baby wah effect. I was able to use it for volume swells, and filter control, and yes, I did use it on For Whom The Bell Tolls. I would say, that this is good value for money. As I said in the beginning, pretty well impressed!

Hi everyone, I’m Cláudio and I’m a bass player from Portugal. Been doing this for 20 years now, and currently my time time is mostly spent either collaborating with other musicians or writing ( I’m a contributor for Bass Musician Magazine and I’m an author of several books). Hope to talk with you all and share some of my knowledge, but mainly, get some of yours!
