Valeton Dapper Mini 4 Effect Strip

First of all it sounds right and full. It has the most important effets on a pocket unit. Well built though knobs are a bit fragile or at least they look like. Beautifully build and well put together. Most of build is like a tank. Some parts not the same as I have already said. It works well before my tube amp. (A VHT Special 6 Ultra) Flexibility of Delay is wonderful. Its cabin simulation for headphones is very welcome for quite rehearsals. Crunch and Lead are possible with Overdrive and Distortion. Plenty of tones out of this little box. Chorus will change your analog sound very much, (be aware of it) but it is a beautiful and very flexible effet anyway. I would have prefer a lateral rock switch (like some wha's pedals have) to switch between Distortion and Overdrive with your foot and a led in the place of the current switch to indicate yellow over drive and red distortion. This is just a wish since there is room for improvement of an already good unit. (Please Thomann, forward this comment to the manufacturer. We never know if they may listen) PS is included. I recommend it for those who take his amp to band rehearsals to avoid moving a complete pedal board or having to buy a more expensive digital unit. This will go in the pocket of your amp cover or guitar bag. Two jack to jack cables and you are ready to rock. So convenience is met too.

Okay, I'll be honest with you. It's hard to find distortion pedal that suits your needs, but Valeton did amazing job with this fantastic multi-pedal. I have BOSS DS-1 and Valeton Dapper Mini has abnormally better distortion than big BOSS. I really admire the switch between overdrive and distortion. When you need it, you just flick it! Personally, I'd rather have separated footswitch for OD and DS, but if you're OK with flicking with finger then this is right for you. Chorus is very good, but far from perfect and that doesn't bother me. Delay is some sort of digital type and it does the job amazingly, especially manual mode for time value. The tuner is ok, you can't expect something so good from that because it's just a bonus. All in all, amazing pedal strip, I recommend it to all guitarists there, you won't be disappointed. I'll have it on my pedalboard till I die!

This one sits nicely in front of my amps and gives me that extra thing when I want to record something with a bit of "chorus-y" sound or add a bit of gain (featuring a useful OD-Dist switch).

The delay is a bit nahhhh but then again who would record a delayed sound without a really good FX pedal/unit?

For it's price tag is just great, it feels good having it over there, really convenient.
For live use, wouldn't recommended it as it's so small you may lose it under the monitor wedge :-p
But then again, not all people have the same needs, so just go for it.
