Ibanez BTMINI

The Ibanez BTMINI is a compact booster pedal from the MINI Series, designed to increase signal level while providing greater control over the overall tonal character. Unlike a simple one-control boost, it features independent Bass and Treble EQ controls alongside Level, allowing players to shape their sound while adding up to +24 dB of gain. Its compact footprint makes it particularly suitable for pedalboards where space is limited.

The BTMINI uses a fully analog circuit and is equipped with a Japanese-made JRC MUSES 8820 high-quality operational amplifier. This op-amp is designed to retain a bright, clear character even when the amplifier is pushed toward overdrive. The Bass and Treble controls can be used to broaden the frequency response, emphasize mid-focused presence, or compensate for tonal changes when boosting different amplifiers and guitars.

Designed, developed and manufactured in Japan, the BTMINI features True Bypass switching for a direct signal path when the effect is disengaged. Its compact die-cast housing has an angled switch surface for comfortable foot operation. The pedal operates from an external 9V DC center-negative adapter and does not use a 9V battery.
