Ibanez SMMINI

The Ibanez SMMINI Super Metal is a compact high-gain distortion pedal from the MINI Series, designed to deliver the powerful, aggressive character of the larger Ibanez SM9 Super Metal in a space-saving format. Made in Japan, the SMMINI uses 100% analog circuitry to produce rich distortion and harmonics, making it well suited to players looking for heavy, saturated guitar tones.

Despite its compact size, the SMMINI retains a five-control layout. The larger Drive control handles the main distortion intensity, while the stacked Edge/Punch and Attack/Level controls provide additional shaping of the distortion's character, attack, presence and output level. This arrangement gives the pedal considerable tonal flexibility for aggressive rhythm sounds, high-gain lead tones and heavier styles.

The SMMINI features True Bypass switching for a short, direct signal path when the effect is disengaged. Its compact MINI enclosure helps conserve pedalboard space, while the pedal operates from an external 9V DC center-negative adapter and requires 23mA of current at 9V.
