  • I have played all three and there is no comparison in a live or studio setting for that matter. The Porchboard bass is where it is at. The customer service alone is worth the price.

  • I think stompboxes have their place, but the price of these models is way too high. Check out all the videos on making your own. With a piezo and some blocks of wood you can make one that will sound as good for about $25US or less.

  • I don't know how anyone could say these are not useful, they sound exactly like a bass drum and I find those pretty useful in almost every musical setting. Although I thought the first one sounded a bit thin but the other two, especially the porch box sound great.

  • I like the Ellis, it's great sounding, simple and well priced.

  • Strictly speaking, it's not a review, it's a demonstration. I was hoping for an opinion on build quality, sound, etc, but nada.

  • One of these could be really useful to a working solo acoustic guitarist.

  • LOL...!!! i dont think this even necessary for an ACOUSTIC guitar... nah m not buying it...

  • Nah, I wouldn't say that... for a street musician like me this could be very helpful actually. I could give myself that beat, loud and solid without actually having to stomp very hard. The one where you can use both feet could prove very interesting, actually.

  • See Pip Watford, she does that with a Loop Station and it sounds great for what it is.

  • it actually does if the right artist is using it. which he isn't! it gives the music depth take a look at seasick steve he is incredible he uses this kinda thing!
