On Stage Mini Pedal Board & Bag GPB2000

Product Information

Some pedals get around this by placing DIP switches or trim pots inside the pedal, which means you have to open it up to adjust some settings. This is true of some full-size pedals too, but it’s a rarity rather than the standard. If you’re going for a set-and-forget type effect usage then having to do this probably won’t bother you too much, but if you’re the sort of player who enjoys tweaking on the fly then a mini-pedal is perhaps not the right choice for you. This could be a good thing if you often find yourself wasting time fiddling with controls on your pedals, but guitarists who enjoy sculpting their tones, they may find mini pedals a little limiting in that respect. 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.

Who is this best suited for: The Mini Foot Fuzz V2 is a wonderful pedal for guitarists hoping to create ‘60s style lead tones. If you own a wah pedal or are likely to acquire one in the future, this pedal is the perfect companion. The Analog Man King Of Tone is one of the most revered overdrive pedals of all time. They go for a lot of money, and it can take years of waiting to get your hands on one. The single channel version, the Prince Of Tone is just as highly regarded and features on many a pro player’s board. The MXR Duke Of Tone has been designed with the Analog Man himself, Mike Piera, to bring you a much more compact and affordable version of the PoT. Who is this best suited for: If you’re looking for the finest analog delay tones to breathe life into your guitar’s clean sound, the Carbon Copy Mini is the perfect addition. It’s a great choice for guitarists who combine rhythm and lead playing and is compatible with basically every style and genre.

The Tube Screamer Mini performed incredibly well when I tested it through a tube amplifier which had the gain and volume set the values which almost pushed it into saturation. By adding the extra drive from this mini pedal, you can enjoy authentic-sounding breakups. Unlike some compressor pedals, the Philosopher’s Tone Micro doesn’t overly squash your guitar signal, but rather gently limits the dynamic peaks and troughs to create a smoother output. These awesome circus-themed stompboxes come in at a truly micro-size, allowing them to be squeezed onto even the tightest of pedalboards.

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. The process of making your pedalboard can be a fun and creative project, and it’s a great way to save money. 2. What is the design of DIY Pedalboard? They can also be used as an expression pedal to control volume or modulation, which gives more control over the sound of the guitar. The Boss BCB-60 is another popular option, built within a case that also features power outputs. This all-encompassing pedalboard is a great choice for the beginner looking for an easy way to get started on their pedal collection.

This task is made more arduous if our equipment is ridiculously heavy. A pedalboard that is filled with bulky guitar pedals is likely to weigh a significant amount, and when you consider the large tube amplifier and your guitar, the burden only increases!

First and foremost, we are musicians, and we want other players to find the right product for them. So we take into careful consideration everything from budget to feature set, ease of use and durability to come up with a list of what we can safely say are the best pedalboards on the market right now. I was pleased to discover that Dunlop had used many of the mechanisms and features from their standard-sized wah pedals. Perhaps most importantly, the highly efficient red Fasel coil is included, providing the perfect balance between smooth motion and slight resistance. One of the things which I was surprised to learn when analyzing this device, is that it uses the same internal circuitry and components as the full-sized version. This explains why there’s no loss of power, warmth, or sound quality. It’s very easy to be envious of successful guitarists when we catch a glimpse of their gigantic pedalboards which house a seemingly infinite number of effects. It’s important to remember, however, that many iconic guitarists choose to keep their pedal selections simple to inspire more creativity. Another thing to consider when shopping for the best mini pedals is the power source. Due to their size, most mini pedals can’t be battery powered – there simply isn’t room inside! Instead, you’ll need a power adaptor. If you’re running a few pedals at the same time then it’s worth getting one of the best pedal power supplies too, or running a daisy chain, so long as your plug adaptor supplies enough current. ConnectivityFurthermore, having fewer controls and parameters to tweak may become a hindrance to the development of your understanding of how effects work. A good way to counter this is by exploring the world of digital audio effects within a DAW, as they often include a wide range of adjustable features.

This pedal isn’t complex like some other compressors, so it’s suitable for beginners and those who don’t have much experience with compression.Mini guitar pedals are most likely to feature true bypass switching, which is a design method used by manufacturers to ensure that signal strength is maintained as it passes through the chain of effects. The purpose of making your pedalboard is to place pedals on it so you can easily turn them on/off with your foot. It’s good for people who are just learning how to play the guitar or bass because they need to learn about effects (like distortion or echo).
