This is a mini version of our Germanium Boost, but with exactly the same components and same tone with just a little less options. Instead of a 7-step tone rotary switch, the “Mini” version is fitted with a 3-way toggle switch, providing treble, mid, and low (bass) boost options. Despite its smaller size, this is a very vintage-inspired pedal with a selection to top-drawer NOS components. Hand-selected NOS germanium transistors can be chosen at checkout, but some carry a surcharge.
We follow our same tradition of extreme attention to detail when putting these pedals together. Every component used is of the highest quality, with absolutely no compromise. The circuit is also housed in a high quality Hammond aluminium enclosure, powder-coated to the highest standard.

Specifications:
- Genuine Hammond aluminium enclosure, powder-coated to the highest standard.
- Hand-selected NOS Mullard transistors. We can fit these pedals with the following NOS transistors:
- Philips/Mullard OC141 germanium transistors. An excellent choice in this circuit. OC141 are creamy with a well balanced overall sound. These are NPN transistors (negative ground) so the DC socket does not require reverse polarity power and hence you can daisy chain it with standard pedals.
- Mullard OC42 are also excellent in this circuit. These transistors are a little brighter than OC141, but also well balanced. OC42 are PNP transistors, so the pedal will require reverse polarity power if a DC socket is added.
- NOS Mullard “Tropical Fish” C280 polyester capacitors.
- NOS Frako electrolytic capacitors.
- NOS Allen Bradley carbon comp resistors.
- Premium Switchcraft jacks.
- Alpha 16mm potentiometers.
- Premium Bourns trimpots.
- Premium 22 AWG solid core Silver-plated copper wire with Teflon insulation, for superior signal transmission.
- Audio-grade shielded wire.
- Lead free, Silver-based solder.
- True bypass.
- Fully hand wired.
- 3 years warranty.
- Dimensions: 92.5 x 38.5 x 31 mm.
