The fuzz, I've heard, doesn't cut very well.

But I've had their vibrato for almost two years. I love it to death. It adds this lofi wobbly feel real easy. It's got a little treble loss but that just makes it sound cooler. A negative for it is when I turn on all my dirt (a fuzz, amp gain, distortion, and comp) I feel like I can hear the waveform of the vibrato when the vibrato is off. And you can definitely hear it in all the white noise when changing the speed and depth.

I really want to try the bit. It looks fantastic and sounds great too. And their reverbs sound great. If only I wasn't in stereo...
And the e filter sounds mega boss even though I'm not that type.

Anyone have any idea what circuit the Malekko Omicron Chorus is based on?

I think a lot of the appeal of the Malekko minis is their size (1590a) but with the side mount jacks
they actually take up as much if not MORE (depending on what type of patch cables you use)
space than a 1590b with top mounted jacks.

Using the "standard" non-pancake cables the 1590a is about 3".
With top mount jacks, the 1590b (RRR, Hawk) is 2.34" and the 1590bb (Fuck, Pharaoh) is 3.68".

I overlap/stagger my two Omicron mini pedals

Edit: With a George L's cable inbetween them, they're about the same width as the Pharoah, Fuck, AB-Synth, etc cases. And those frequently come with two stomp switches, so I don't feel like the stomps are too close together.

I agree that the stomps wouldn't be too close together. What I was getting at is, I think
a lot of people see the Melekkos and think " versatility be damned, I'll be saving so much board space "
when that isn't really the case.

Yeah, they're probably thinking that "I can squeeze that in between my X and my Y, I bet" when they look at it it in the store or online.. I think they're kind of cool, personally, because they're smaller.

I love love love the vibrato. It's become a big part of my sound and I haven't even tried it at 12 volts yet.

Yeah, I really need to get a new power supply; one that can both handle more pedals and do stuff like 12v or 18v for the pedals that take it. (Currently at max pedals on two OneSpots and not going to buy a third OneSpot to placate my pedal power lust.)

Tried the fuzz and wasn't blown away by it, but liked the compressor, and the e.filter was really fun.

For what it's worth, I hated my E. Filter. Sold it and never thought twice about it. The other models, especially the phaser, always intrigued me. However the new Mooer pedals look even better.

Oh, for those that have the Vibrato or have tried it: when they named it the Vibrato, I assumed it was a vibrato effect (ala the violin technique, ie the old Boss Vibrato pedal) and not a vibe pedal, like the DejaVibe or the Univibe. But then some online stores have it listed in their Vibe category. So which is it?

Same here! It's probably my most used pedal. With 12 volts, it gets rid of the high end roll off that you probably notice. To me, it sounds way too clean like that. The lofi-ness of it seems to be part of the charm.

It's definitely pitch vibrato, not vibe. It's just like a tremolo but with pitch instead of volume, no phasey sounding stuff here. The PGS video seems to be a decent representation.

And for the record, mine is a bit noisy. But it's not a distracting noise, just a little hiss, but it's a warm hiss. And like I said, it seems like part of the charm. I would recommend this guy a thousand times.

Good to know. Thanks!

I also have the vibrato and love it! First I put it after od and fuzz... I found that it makes a huge huge difference placing it before the dirt pedals. Great results! I guess this is the "correct" place since it is pitch vibrato and a fuzzed signal is complicated to pitch.

After, it just made all my dirt so muddy. It's first in my chain!
