Product Information

Another reliable rule of thumb is that mini pedals (stompboxes around half the size of a regular guitar pedal) tend to be cheaper and sound just as good as larger alternatives, even if they feature a few less controls. Brands like Tone City, Landlord FX, Mooer and TC Electronic are all excellent starting points. Overdrive/Distortion pedals

The ‘Blend’, ‘Sustain’ and ‘Volume’ controls are adequate tools for tweaking the nature of the compression produced by the Mini Ego. You can use this pedal to reduce the dynamic range of your guitar and prevent any notes from being too loud. Or, it can act as a tool for raising your dynamics above the rest of the mix. It is also worth noting that there will be many other considerations in making your own pedalboard. You will need to make sure you have enough power outlets (a power strip), and cables for your pedals (you may need long cables or even an extra power strip). You will also need to consider if you want a board for all of your pedals or just certain sections of them. #3. DIY Guitar/Bass Pedalboard One of the best ways to squeeze as many different FX types into your rig is by using mini guitar pedals. Mini stompbox FX allow you to get more out of your rig without sacrificing extra space on your board, and the best mini pedals deliver the same tone as their larger counterparts despite their smaller size.

Who is this best suited for: The EP Booster by Xotic is a highly useful tool for any guitarist looking to ensure that their instrument is always at the required volume. This mini pedal is one of the most versatile stompboxes I’ve come across, and I believe that all guitarists would benefit from acquiring it. The first thing I noticed when testing this pedal was its impeccable clarity. I’ve experienced noise issues and muddy tones with some flanger pedals in the past, but this mini stompbox alleviated all of my worries within seconds of turning it on.Due to the size of the Carbon Copy Mini, I expected there to be a significant reduction in the number of adjustable controls and parameters included on the pedal. To my surprise, MXR has managed to improve the functionality of the pedal with the addition of the convenient ‘Bright’ mode button.

Who is this best suited for: If you’re looking for a compact overdrive pedal which does more than simply adding heat to your signal, the Wampler Plexi Drive Mini is a solid option. This pedal is very easy to use and is therefore ideal for guitarists who like to plug in and play. My Review: I’ve had the pleasure of using the Philosopher’s Tone compressor in the past, and I found it to be a very capable device for controlling my guitar’s dynamics. This Micro edition is much smaller than the original, but it still offers all of the main qualities. My Review: Right off the bat, I was intrigued by the MXR Booster Mini, mainly because it includes the same design as the iconic Micro Preamp by the same manufacturer. I found that after analyzing the boost effect offered by this pedal, it is capable of adding a new dimension to both a clean and dirty guitar tone.

DIY Upcycled PedalboardTypically the main difference between mini guitar pedals and full-size guitar pedals is the access to functionality. Mini guitar pedals don’t have as much physical space as their full-sized brethren, and thus you’re not as likely to find the same number of controls on their enclosures. My Review: The Plexi Drive Mini features an eye-catching design, but what impressed me the most about this pedal was its ability to transform the tone of my guitar. I discovered that this mini device can be used to boost lead parts or solos momentarily, or it can be left on to make your tone sound more gritty. If you’re relatively new to the world of effects pedals, the terms ‘buffered’ and ‘true bypass’ may initially seem confusing. It’s always best to start with a tuner, as you don’t want pedals getting in the way of tuning your guitar properly. Next dynamic effects like compressors and volume pedals, followed by fuzz, overdrive, and distortion pedals. If you have a boost pedal you can add it after your drive pedals for a boost in volume, or before to help shape the tone of your guitar.
