Donner Mini Chorus pedal. All analog BBD clone of a CE2 with added level and depth mods. Smallest pedal I've ever held. Solid die-cast enclosure with good quality quiet true bypass switch. Sounds just as good as a real CE-2, seriously a really great sounding pedal.

£20ish delivered from Amazon ...

    The only thing that will limit the size of a pedalboard is going to be clown sized feet fellas 
    like myself ;)

    Shish that's good value for money, that money barely buys a kebab on the way home.

  • What kebabs are you buying? The best kebab in Manchester will give change from a £10r and sound better than a chorus pedal by not being a chorus pedal

    Well it feels pretty good. Nice and quiet. Only time will tell I guess!

    Yes. You can actually make almost any true bypass switch quiet with the right caps and resistors to prevent DC getting on the switch - unless it's leaking from somewhere else, eg your amp - but reliability is the big bugbear.

    Does it pop through the amp?

    Is this thread chorus, or meat...?

  • Your opinions make me want one, shame it had to be chorus, which I utterly, utterly detest :)

  • There's an analog delay with modulation (the Wave) in the same micro sized range for £25.99. Had a quick look at something on YouTube seemed okay.

    There's a boost, a trem, a looper, an OD, a distortion...could have an entire tiny pedalboard.

    I can't believe that I make two kebab jokes in one post, get question on how much I spend on kebabs and you get 4 lol's for replaying my joke.

    My comedy must be way too post-modern for this place...

     The thing is there is only about 8 pounds worth of material in that product when sourced  from China and if it's built in China then only about a pounds worth of labour on top. 
     When I designed the guitar preamp side of Goodmans terrible guitar karaoke type thing  The bill of materials I put on top of the original design come to about 18p 
     Luckily in the pedal building game people will always  be prepared to spend on the brand name rather than the product  so the likes of exotic EP are always going to be  able to sell a transistor boost at plus £100  despite the fact you can buy an almost identical device for less than £20

    Amazons pricing seems a little fluid. Still a great pedal at that price though.
