Mini pedals can bite my ass

[theavondon]

But, really though, giant enclosures all day. When a 1590BB looks absolutely tiny on your board, you know the drugs are REALLY good

I'm waiting for something to arrive before posting a silly picture of my board, but essentially yeah.

True, but what is dimed for me might be rolled back for someone else. Mini pedals seem directed towards a set it and forget it kind of board. Unless it is meant to be a 0-2 knob circuit I don't see the fun in shoving features into a smaller enclosure.

thats why you can fit two in the space of one

like, if it's something that needs the space and uses it, sure. a Goatse would be crowdedmon a small enclosure.

but a muff with 2 knobs in a box bigger than my head? nah. no thank you.

conversely the Ditto i'm fine with being so small. is simmmmple.

but like. i have to give it as much room as a 1590b. so. whatevah.

[goroth]

It's like "oooh look at me and how clever I am with being small and having less options and you can fit a lot on a board and look like a nerd and stuff"... Who needs pedals with that kind of attitude???

Damm straight!

[phantasmagorovich]

Those pedals are directed at the japanese market, obviously.

What's the point of mini pedals when they have big ol' jackplugs sticking out the sides?? All of a sudden we're back to taking up lots of room...

[jrmy]

I don't have a problem with mini pedals. I have a problem with shitty pedals. If you can fit an awesome circuit in a tiny box, great! If you have to shitty it up to fit it in said box, not so great. By the same token, if it sounds craptastic but has a huge enclosure, well that sucks too.

[Casavettes]

if you want to lay that out to a tasty beat i am allllllll ears.

I'm workin on some beats

You know what'd be good? If someone made a small pedal with like, cables built in, with locking jacks, hanging out the top like antennae.




I jest. El distorto is a super practical solution to the stupidity with small pedals. At least one of the stupid things about them. Whatever.

Yeah that!

Again, not at all my priority when I make a pedalboard. You're talking to a dude that traded his xo memory man so he could get the big box memory man, strictly because the knobs are bigger and further apart so I can tweak them easier and more accurately when I need to. It also doesn't look like ass.

However... a mini pedal I can vibe with assuming it sounds good:

This, however, just blows away all the arguments..... (if it sounds any good)...

That's a very good point, except for the fact that being mini it per definition bites ass.

I don't jive with logic.

In all honesty I must say I usually don't get a woodie from the mere fact a pedal is mini sized but the Mooer FOG I just got in is badass, a great fuzz that's capable of some broken amp like sounds up to more synth like textures.
The Pure Boost is pretty good too, a nice flexible (from warm to bright) and good sounding boost.
