Why it made the cut: The V-Baby 1 from Ghost Fire is an affordable mini pedalboard that’s durable and easy to move around. My Review: The Dyna Comp Mini is almost half the size of the original model, but offers the same level of transparency. The reduced size of this compressor pedal makes it easier to use, largely because MXR has removed some of the slightly unnecessary controls from the full-sized version. It may seem logical that smaller-sized guitar pedals are likely to be inferior to larger devices, but this often isn’t the case. In many cases, mini guitar pedals perform just as impressively as their full-sized guitar pedal counterparts. Thankfully, there are certain pedals you can use which are designed for broadening the number of connections you have to work with. ABY switchers and pedals with dual outputs allow you to experiment with effects loops and using multiple amplifiers in your rig.

Fortunately, the vast majority of modern pedals are centre negative, and most pedal power supplies cater just for them. Pedals that are centre positive are a rarity, and those that you do find will probably be vintage pedals. If you need to supply juice to a centre positive pedal, find a separate dedicated power supply. How Do I Power My Pedals With A Power Supply? The standout feature of the Mini Cry Baby has to be its internal preset switches. I loved the classic 60’s wah tones of the ‘Vintage’ setting and found the ‘Low’ setting to be an effective way to remove some of the harsher tones from the pedal’s output. No matter if you’re on the hunt for the best mini distortion pedal or you’re looking for some extra modulation without overfilling your board, each and every one of these pedals is made with premium components that are built to last.

One of the things that impressed me the most about this mini reverb pedal was its ability to retain a natural sound even when the depth and tone controls are turned up high. Daisy chaining’ is another method for powering your guitar pedals. Unlike a PSU, with this process you’re using a single power source to supply electricity to all of your pedals, connected by a single ‘daisy chain’. This method is quite popular, as daisy chaining is significantly cheaper than buying a dedicated pedal power supply.

While we’ve suggested all of the key contenders, there are other popular pedals out there that you may wish to add to your pedalboard too. Depending on the styles that you play, some alternative effects pedals could offer more variety and usefulness. Mini guitar pedals that use a buffer aim to achieve the same goal of ensuring signal strength throughout the chain. However, unlike true bypass pedals, they boost the strength of the signal before it leaves the pedal, which compensates for any loss that occurs it moves through the chain. My Review: The ODR-Mini is the first Nobels pedal I’ve come across, and I was instantly drawn in by its distinctive aesthetics. The pedal’s design oozes class, but the real question was whether its overdrive effect would match its appearance.
These awesome circus-themed stompboxes come in at a truly micro-size, allowing them to be squeezed onto even the tightest of pedalboards.

Arguably the most reputable pedalboard brand is Pedaltrain, who manufacture a number of boards. The Pedaltrain Nano is their entry level board, built specifically for mini pedals and players that prefer a portable rig. The Pedaltrain Classic 2 is the industry standard, a medium-sized board that can host a number of pedals, whereas the Pedaltrain Novo 32 is a larger pedalboard for the true tone connoisseurs. After explaining all of the above, it might sound crazy to even mention Multi-FX. However, if you’re unaware of what a Multi-FX unit is, then you may realise that it could be a more viable choice for you. Basically, a Multi-FX pedal is an all-encompassing unit that offers up to hundreds of different effect sounds and presets – all in one enclosure! Taking the hassle out of building a pedalboard, a Multi-FX is far easier to set up and can be cheaper than buying several stompboxes, a pedalboard, cables and a power supply (we’ll get to all of that later). Having said that, Multi-FX units can also be limiting. For example, if there are any effects that don’t cut the mustard within a Multi-FX, you can’t replace them like you can with individual pedals.

When cutting the velcro, ensure that you have the velcro strips running all the way to edges of your pedalboard. This is so that you can maximize its real-estate, and have your pedals pushed all the way up to its perimeter if necessary. 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.
