Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 I got nothing against small pedals. I own some too. And I realize I'm in the minority around these parts on this particular subject; but if you're feeling where I'm coming from, show some love for big pedals with disregard for precious real estate.

Members kyrreca Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 I like large boxes, but since I like having a lot of different effects available, they are a bit impractical bacause my pedal board space is limited, thus I prefer smaller pedals. If a pedal does something no other pedal does, and that something is something I need, I will still put it on my board, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kyrreca Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm unsure about the reason for the facepalm/lol/tongue, but I seem to recall that "box" is a slang term for a girl's vagina. Is that it? Because I don't like vaginas to be large, just barely large enough to accomodate my humongous penis. I was referring to the enclosures of effect pedals.

Members melx Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 I love them....my wiggler is great, my duecetone rat is great, I suppopse the haz is pretty big too. I guess for me it's about whether the use justifies the size, I wouldn't care if my haz was twice the size. I'd still want/love/use the thing.

Members tubezipper Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 If I'm not using a pedalboard, the size helps keep them stable on the floor The controls are easier to see from 5+ feet above Larger controls with more interface spacing are more conducive to tweaking and riding The knobs can be adjusted with my big toe They look cool, like instruments in and of themselves They are more visceral, and have some physical substance They invite you to come and interact with them I got nothing against small pedals. I own some too. And I realize I'm in the minority around these parts on this particular subject; but if you're feeling where I'm coming from, show some love for big pedals with disregard for precious real estate. I agree every single on every single word above! Yes Fender&EHX!! YES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 I don't mind them. If it came down to brass tacks and I had to have 8-10 big ass pedals to do what I needed to do, then I would have a 42x20 board or whatever it took. I'm not too concerned with how much floor space I have to occupy. But luckily, the majorty of my pedals and my "do want" pedals are pretty small. If they make a XO Pog I'll consider myself lucky, but the big box version is all anodized and sexy, plus keeps getting cheaper on the used market... so I am not too particular.

Members Finch88 Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 I like big effects just fine, but when I crack open a Fuzzface or a BMP and see a tiny little board sitting in a huge case ... yeah, you get my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty Belle Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm a fan of big pedals too, the BMP is perfect sized so is the micro synth etc, the XO's just dont look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ninjaaron Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 I like the idea of big pedals, but I frequently have to move my rig across the Atlantic. Small pedals by necessity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pbone Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 I love using big pedals. I like having a compact board just because of those benefits, but I find that big pedals better for the reasons you've listed above. I hate having little knobs cramped in together.
