Malekko Heavy Industry is rolling out a fantastic-looking (and amazing sounding, but that’s a given) line of miniature pedals sure to induce fits of extreme happiness when cuddled. But these aren’t meant for cuddling, they are meant for bringing the noise, the funk, and everything in between. All this from a quality company known for their amazing & unique pedals, in a package the size of that mole on your right butt cheek.
The only one available for purchase at the moment is the Chicklet, up for grabs on Malekko’s catalog page.
However, the Vibrato and Fuzz are next in the pipeline, becoming available in the next month or so, and many more effects are planned. I’m not sure what the exact number of pedals in the line is going to be, but there will be at least two more. What those may be remain only to be seen (I’m personally hoping for a chorus and delay).
Here’s an excerpt on the Vibrato pedal from Josh:
For those knowledgeable on the subject, the long since discontinued MN3007 IC’s result in a much nicer sound than it’s little brother, the MN3207. The MN3007 are coveted by pedal builders and the D.I.Y. community for their superior sound quality. Often counterfeited, these ICs are tricky to purchase. Early in the year 2009 Malekko acquired a giant lot of actual obsolete MN3007 BBD ICs and went to work. The result is a superior lush analog vibrato pedal in an unprecedented tiny enclosure…all at an affordable price.
Gotta catch ‘em all!
