Turbo tuner st-300 is currently the only mini pedal on my board. I don't particularly like mini pedals but do find them practical to keep a tight board and fill in narrow spaces. Cool mini pedals I wish I had include Fairfield Accountant, Mooer drum machine, utility pedals that you don't want to take up valuable pedalboard space (noise gates, always on stuff?) and Rainger pedals (top jack mini's :D).

Also wanted to say that mini's with side jacks and top power supply annoy me. But I guess that would also be the case with normal sized pedals...

It just feels wrong! I used to have a SSBS mini set as my big, blown-out fuzz sound, and a palisades as my light overdrive. It always seemed weird clicking the big, complicated thing to make a small change in my sound, then stepping on the little box to blow everything up

I use a mini pedal because the Accountant is a mini pedal.

Are there any mini pedals with top Jack's + top power input at all? Besides maybe Rainger FX, if they qualify. I think his enclosures might be a tiiiiny bit wider than the regular mini pedals. Still ridiculously small though.

Mooer Spark series. They look cool lit up. Been meaning to grab the flanger.

Generally speaking I'm not a fan of mini pedals, but I have a phase 95 on my board. There isn't a normal sized pedal that does both 45/90 with true bypass that I know of.

Am I the only one here who wishes they had a board full of mini pedals? The jacks/size argument is a non-argument. Most pedals have side-mounted jacks, so, a smaller pedal with side mounted jacks is still smaller with the same jacks. The only reason I don’t have a pedalboard of all mini pedals is because I can’t find the pedals I want in miniature.

Honestly, those Ranger FX mini pedals are the best mini pedals. They’re all top-mounted jacks, weird effects, and all have great graphics. I keep thinking about picking up his reverb to put on my board in place of my Dunk Tank...

i don’t stomp, so these things don’t bother me really, just haven’t found a mini that suits me honestly.
