On Stage Mini Pedal Board & Bag GPB2000

Product Information

In terms of the choice available in a mini format, it's huge – everything from classic overdrives to multi-effects. As the mini size is what Mooer made their name on, they've been especially keen to drive innovation in the smaller format. First, they brought out a mini power amp and a range of amp-in-a-box style preamps. Most recently, they released the 7 series – complicated digital effects in a mini enclosure that can rival pedals many times their size. How do you power a mini pedal? Pedalboard amps are exactly what the name suggests: guitar amps shrunk to the size of a guitar pedal – small enough to fit on your pedalboard. This method allows for much lighter travel, saves on a whole load of space for home and recording guitarists and in general means there’s less to break or go wrong. 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.

These awesome circus-themed stompboxes come in at a truly micro-size, allowing them to be squeezed onto even the tightest of pedalboards. It’s a transparent overdrive, so you will hear all the nuances of your guitar and amp shine through. There are three modes – Boost, Overdrive and Distortion, with each one giving you a little more gain and compression as you step it up. This makes it a really versatile pedal and, no matter how you’re using it, you can expect incredible tones – warm, with just the right amount of bite and attitude.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. 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.

My Review: Ibanez receives many accolades for their range of electric guitars and basses, but I don’t think they get the credit they deserve for their reliable stompboxes. Their mini-series includes this chorus pedal, which despite its small dimensions produces lush, warbly modulation. A pedalboard is a unit designed to contain your guitar pedals, making them easy to access whilst keeping all your cables neat and tidy. As well as providing ease of use, they’re also great for players who gig regularly, as you simply need to turn up, plug your guitar into one end, amp into the other, and away you go. How much do pedalboards cost? Who is this best suited: If you’re a fan of Hendrix, you’ll love the fuzzy tones produced by this classic remake of the Dunlop Fuzz Face. Many mini guitar pedals can also be powered using a 9V battery, but you should avoid relying on them too much as there’s always the risk that they will run flat at a vital moment in a performance or recording take.

Two of the most popular phaser pedals in recent years are MXR’s Phase 90 and Phase 45. Somehow, they’ve managed to squeeze both of those devices into the mini pedal, without overcomplicating things in the process. This allows you to create everything from long, pulsating modulating to choppy swirls of phase.

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. Furthermore, 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. 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.

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.

Multi FX units contain lots of varying effects in one larger hardware format. These are perfect for players who want to cut right to the chase and try out loads of different sounds. And because most multi FX feature an effects loop, you can still mix and match the sounds with other pedals you buy. The only real downside is that you get what you’re given at first; you have less choice for the specific sound profiles you want.

Larger pedals offer undeniable benefits, but compact alternatives are a great way to make sure you’re maximizing the space you have available. The more mini pedals you incorporate into your signal chain, the more you can keep adding to your collection as your preferences change, which is inevitable for most musicians!My Review: I’m always on the lookout for capable fuzz pedals, so I was eager to test the Mini Foot Fuzz V2 by JHS. Featuring a simple two-knob design with a single switch, I found the tonal versatility of this device a pleasant surprise. My Review: I’ve used many overdrive pedals over the years, and I can confidently say that very few meet the standard set by the Tube Screamer Mini. This pedal may be tiny in terms of its dimensions, but it makes a huge difference to your guitar’s tone. Included: IEC Power Inlet C13 pigtail used to connect power supplies such as Voodoo Lab, Strymon, Truetone and more 110-250 Volt Compatible My Review: MXR’s Phase 95 is a compact modulation device that includes two high-end circuits. This pedal is ideally sized to slot onto the busiest of pedalboards, and it produces a range of swirling phaser effects. Keep an eye out for trusted pedal manufacturers such as Boss, Electro Harmonix, T-Rex and Ibanez – all legends in the business who have been making top notch pedals at good for prices for decades.
