The Mosky SOL918 is a multi-effects pedal that puts five effects in one unit: reverb, delay, an effects loop, overdrive and distortion. Mosky describes it on its product page as the "SOL918 Multi-Effects Pedal 五合一效果器", with the five effects listed as "REVERB+DELAY+FX LOOP +OVERDRIVE+DISTORTION"1. For a player, that means one enclosure covering the time-based effects and the drive stages that form the backbone of many pedalboards, rather than five separate boxes.
It sits in Mosky's multi-effects line alongside the Mosky RD5 Multi-Effects Pedal and the Mosky RC5 Multi-Effects Pedal, and the reverb side of its sound relates to the company's dedicated units such as the MOSKY Spring Reverb Mini and the Mosky Multi Spring Reverb1.
What it does
The SOL918 combines two time-based effects, reverb and delay, with two drive effects, overdrive and distortion, plus an effects loop, which is a set of connections that lets you place your own pedals between stages of the unit rather than only before or after it1. Mosky's product page lists all five as the pedal's feature set under the heading "5 Effects in 1 Unit"1.
Size, weight and power
The pedal measures 230 x 65 x 36 mm and weighs 490 g, so it is a long, narrow enclosure in the style of a compact multi-effects strip rather than a standard single pedal1. It runs from a 9V DC power jack with negative tips, and Mosky recommends a regulated supply1.
The SOL918's power jack is 9V DC with negative tips, and Mosky recommends a regulated supply1. As with most compact pedals, use a supply that matches those requirements.
