- Robust metal chassis with integrated Mounty-P plates and illuminated potentiometers
Studio Classics at Your Foot
Designed as a bridge between heritage and modernity, the Nobels MOD-mini condenses the spirit of 60s-70s modulations. From the pulsing tremolo of vintage amps to the psychedelic swirls of Uni-Vibe type effects, through silky phasers, it delivers these timeless textures in a current, stable, and stage-ready pedal.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Ideal for guitarists and multi-instrumentalists (bass, keyboards, synths) who want to enrich a pedalboard without weighing it down. It covers a wide range: soul and surf with tremolo, funk and dreamy pop with phaser, psychedelic rock and modern blues with vibe. Compact and intuitive, it fits perfectly in both home studios and stereo live setups.
Modern Ergonomics, Pedalboard-Friendly Design
Mode selection is instant, Tap Tempo facilitates tempo changes, and TRS I/O offers a true stereo field. The bypass is switchable (true or buffered) to adapt the response to your signal chain. Illuminated potentiometers remain readable under stage lights, while Mounty-P plates ensure secure and quick mounting without extra tinkering.
The Sound
The MOD-mini prioritizes musicality: a warm and organic tremolo that respects attack, a smooth and expressive phaser for enveloping pads, and a swirling "vibe" with that typical subtle moving phase shift. The response is dynamic and reactive to playing, with a wide stereo field in TRS mode. Stack it before an overdrive for Hendrix/Trower-inspired leads, or after reverb for cinematic ambiances, all while maintaining clarity and definition.
