Mini-pedal question

What's Hot
ICBMICBM Frets: 72253
Just testing a few that will be going up for sale…

Why do they all, almost without fail, have the wrong knob as the big one you can adjust easily?

In most cases it should be the volume/level, since that's the one you can't easily affect using the guitar controls or playing technique and are most likely to have to bend down and tweak on the fly.

    My biggest problem with the mini pedals is their lack of stability. They wobble around on my board.  My mini Rat will spit out the input patch lead.

    The other thing with the ones with 'Borrowers' knobs is that when the super bright LED comes on it blinds you so you can't see the settings unless you lay you pick over it to baffle it!

    just put a bit of electricians tape over the led lens to mute the brightness

    Sorry about that, believe it or not, I've dialled the brightness right back..... however it turns out new leds are extremely efficient.
