Members SonicVI Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 Pedalboard space be damned, I like big pedals. It's just such a gratifying feeling stepping on a great Big Muff compared to a little MXR sized box. I think it's the same reason I love vinyl still more than CDs, it's just bigger, more to hold in my hands, and bigger artwork. Anybody with me?

Members jake.lind Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 I like small pedals and am not particularly inclined to buy vinyl. Maybe it's a generational thing? How old are you guys? I'm 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members veil Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 I like small pedals and am not particularly inclined to buy vinyl. Maybe it's a generational thing? How old are you guys? I'm 18. It's sort of like a luxury thing in both the case of vinyl and big pedals. If you have the kind of space to accomodate them, go for it. If you live in a tiny apartment, convenience wins.

Members CicadaSilence Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 I don't like itty bitty pedals, but neither do I like giganto-bull{censored}-huge pedals. For instance, the POG would be fantastic if it were in a Boss sized box. Or even an original Muff sized box. I thought about a Micro, but without the detune, filter and second octave, I don't see the point. On the other hand, as cool as the Dano food series are, I wish they were a bit bigger. Especially the ones with two footswitches. I've size 13 feet man, come on! I think Boss has it nailed, as far as optimal pedal size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Supreme Pancake Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm kind of the same way. I have a Flanger Hoax and HOG and it looks like I have a small pod of whales on my medium size board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 Big boxes inspire me more, and are much more fun for tweaking. If I transported more often, I would be inclined to go for the smaller boxes for the sake of convenience; but most of my usage is in my studio, so I put more priority on inspiration.

Members DADGADammit Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 i like the way the big pedals look, but i hate lugging them around. they just aren't practical for me. besides i buy pedals for their sound rather than their size. i think if the Klon was i an MXR sized box no one would pay that money for it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 343 Salty Beans Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 i think if the Klon was i an MXR sized box no one would pay that money for it though You underestimate the stupidity of TGPers In any case, I enjoy massive pedals if there's a point to the massiveness. 2, 3, or 4 footswitches? Bigger is better. 7 or 8 knobs, a few of which would be nice if you could roll them with your feet? Bigger is better.But in some cases it's just ridiculous. I never liked how big the Q-Tron and Q-Tron + were. On the other hand, the SMM w/ Hazarai is so tiny now it looks to be difficult to make delay changes and whatnot with your toes. And I think even stuff like the Russian Big Muff could do with a little shrinking (the thing is JUST too long to fit on my board right )And of course, awesome paintjobs or designs on the pedal always make bigger better.
