General
Ibanez's Mini Super Metal overdrive is mega sound in a mini package. It's based on the popular SM9 overdrive that was available on the market between 1982 and 1984, and is now back by popular demand. Bands like Slayer and Anthrax were especially fond of this pedal, which was suitable for pure shredding and creating subtle drives to high-gain lead tones. Just like the original, this pedal is fully analogue, so you can expect the warm type of sound Ibanez is known for. With a straightforward set of three controls, you can adjust the amount of overdrive, punch (bass lo), and attack (velocity sensitivity). This pedal is powered by a 9-volt adapter.
Ibanez Mini Series stomp boxes: small but sick
With their Mini Series, Ibanez is paying tribute to the popular guitar effects pedals of the eighties, when the brand's analogue stomp boxes were all the rage. Some guitarists couldn't do without them, like Stevie Ray Vaughn for example, whose TS808 Tube Screamer overdrive was partially responsible for his signature sound. Effects like flanger and chorus were also commonly used in those days. So, symbolically nodding their heads to the modern guitarist, Ibanez developed a line of compact pedals that won't eat up too much room on your pedal board. This means you get a very big sound out of a very compact stomp box.
