The Love Vibe is definite win - and $120 isn't too terrible.

I'm intrigued by the echo - just a time knob with everything else being trimmers you get to through holes in the case. Apparently the big knob also control the modulation - I'm guessing via a LOGiC based switching thing to get into an adjust mode. Still, FAIL at $199.

Dam that echo is sweet and again shame about the gay price.

The lovepedal guy is not well respected in the DIY circuits. I can't recall anything he has done being original, and for the prices he charges, that is a massive shame.

cheap love vibe anywhere? i really love the sound since i've heard the original
i figure if it will fit in that small of an enclosure it can't be too complicated to clone *wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more*

i'm really liking the sound of these mini-pedals. kinda like the catalinbread minis.

mike, could you build a overdrive/distortion into a case like that?

His Cot50 pedal could fit into one, which is all he's done, but to be honest you have to set an amp up on the edge of breakup and smack it with the COT50 to get it to sound like that, the amp is more than adding to that sound.

It would need to be a very simple circuit, those cases are very small and I don't use PCBs.
Plus, does anything really need to be that small? I don't think so.

i suppose if you wanted a mini rig to take on a plane flight or something, they'd be pretty cool.

i'm trying to limit my pedals again at the moment and most of it is running on batteries, so probably not the best idea to get minis.

There is no way in hell you could get a battery into one of those boxes.

What I mean is that I don't understand the obsession with miniaturising things. The saltbooster is a small pedal. It is smaller than a Boss pedal. Even the larger case I use is small, it is only just bigger than a boss. People are always surprised how small they are when they arrive.

I guess if you were a mouse and you wanted to have a pedal board these would be good....

They bum him over at TGP, it's ridiculous.
