Seriously, these tiny little guys are crammed with sonic goodness. Chorus sounds great, Fuzz sounds AWESOME. If they made a light OD i'd be down to gig with the set
Personally I hate tiny pedals like this really, I don't see the point. They'll wobble over when you turn them on and off since there's not enough surface area for the velcro to bite.

i know what you mean mike.
there's something about stepping on a big pedal and shouting "fuck my sound up, massive muff"
they do sound pretty good though. i think caitlinbread started that trend for tiny pedals then love pedal and malekko

I guess it all depends on how 'heavy-footed' you are?
I like the vibrato!

I'm massively clumsy I'm afraid.

Tried these out @ NAMM. The ppl were really cool and the fuzz sounded great! I think LRC has the delay

i don't think they have announced a delay yet. Are you sure it wasn't Lovepedal's mini delay pedal?

they sound rally nice, i love the fuzz. But they're to small, and having to set switches on the back and all that stuff makes me not want them that much...

Do like vibrato - it actually sounds pleasant, not just out-of-tune.

Plus they're harder to fix. Even if it's something simple like tightening an input jack the smaller they make these pedals the more of pain it is to keep them for a long time.

the size is cool with me. some wide velcro would do the job, but having to mess with switches inside the guts is not a good idea. surely i would never bother to unscrew once in my pedal board

I tried the Chicklet reverb today.... and was pleasantly surprised. I don't even like reverb much !! Very springy.
And the input jack was loose on this one !!!
Still wouldn't but one though, although that chorus has caught my attention.
I'm sure plenty will buy into these... mainly cause they use their eyes (and wallet) more than their ears.
Do sound good though.

I like the vibrato but really couldnt see a way to justify the cost. I'm too poor.

A bunch of the folks at the Harmony Central forums and others (read tone snobs) have been hanging out for the Ekko 919 for quite a while. The release keeps getting pushed back. It's analog with tap tempo, so probably a lot like the Deluxe Memory Boy?

Well the Deluxe Memory Boy actually exists, which I think is a plus.

That's one thing I like about EHX they don't drag on with the product tease. They announce something at NAMM and usually in a couple months you can buy it for a great price.

yup, I don't like the sound of the Malekko delay either (the 616, that is out), the repeats all have a large amount of distortion in them way above "normal" analogue levels. I just don't like it. PGS guy just hides it with Amp Dirt - not cool.

I like small phasers but man I would kill for a flanger that small, a malekko one would be cool, but if I had a EHX nano mistress that would be the best thing in the whole world.

I thought that the delay / distortion issue had been addressed. Is the distortion still there on the latest batch?
