Description & Specs

smallsound/bigsound Mini Overdrive v2

 From smallsound/bigsound:

The mini came into existence by request from many customers who loved the sound of the fuck overdrive but wished for a smaller package. I decided to pare down the functionality, yet add on some additional features so that the two pedals could live on a pedalboard together and each have their own strengths. More bass was added to the circuit to make it an enticing choice for bassists and keyboard players and the controls were streamlined to make it a more easy-to-digest pedal.

With the mini, you get the same lovely JFET overdrive at the core. A very simple bias knob allows the user to dial in saggy lo-fi, low-watt amp tones to clean chime-y hi-fi. With the addition of extra bass, a bass cut knob allows for a range of even cleaner, sparkle-y treble boost tones or huge low end suitable as a bass overdrive or full-range boost.

As with any smallsound/bigsound pedal, versatility and sound are paramount and the mini truly is a shining example.

Power: Please use a standard 9V DC power supply (designed for musical instruments) with a negative center 2.1mm barrel and do NOT run at higher voltages. Peak current draw is around 12mA.

Controls
Gain: Simultaneously controls 2 gain stages for an extremely wide range from clean boost to overdrive to fuzz. this control hugely impacts the volume, so be careful…

Volume: simple enough. it can be LOUD, depending on the settings of the gain control, so start with it low.

Treble: a passive LPF.

Bass: a passive HPF which is pre-gain, so less bass means a cleaner signal and more bass means more saturated gain.

Bias: a variant on a starve control which many pedals feature. optimal working voltage is around noon, with lower voltage counterclockwise for broken-up, gritty low-wattage amp tones and clockwise for more headroom and clarity.

We’re all musicians here at Chicago Music Exchange and we want you to love the gear you get from us. We understand that sometimes you get a piece of gear that doesn’t work out for you. That’s why we offer an easy return policy to take the stress out of purchasing from us.

If you decide you'd like to return an item, please contact your Sales Rep, chat us, or give us a call.

If you placed your order on Amazon or eBay, we advise issuing the return request from your account on the platform of purchase - our Customer Service team will process a refund upon receipt of the item(s).

Most new items may be returned within 30 days of delivery and most vintage & used items may be returned within 3 days of delivery for a full refund, exchange, or store credit. Please pack the product safely for the journey back to us. If the product was shipped for free, the charge will be deducted from refund, unless the reason for the return is outside normal circumstances.

Please contact us as soon as possible if your order was received incorrectly, damaged, or defective. Most times we will give you an RA number (Return Authorization). Why is that number important? This will allow us to speed up the process of the return.

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee based on the return condition. Some items we just can’t take back for returns, due to a one time function like strings or drums heads and other times it’s not sanitary to do so with microphones or harmonicas. If you aren’t sure if what you bought falls into a category like this, call us (773) 525-7773!

We strive to get your return processed quickly. Most of the time we have it done within two business days. Funds going back to credit cards usually takes two to four business days.
