Totally Wycked Audio has five new mini stomp pedals that are ultra-compact (1/2 width) and super affordable. All feature lightweight, extruded aluminum cases that are a perfect fit for crowded pedal boards or carrying in your gig bag. I liked the quality build, ruggedness and the true bypass switching that stays out of the way of your tone chain when the pedal effect is not needed.
I tested all five starting with the Distortion SC-01 model. The SC-01 makes a good "inter-pedal" effect for jumping up the sound from almost clean gain to full fry-level distortion. It has Marshall-style distortion with Drive, Tone and Level controls and sells for $89 MSRP.
SC-02 Overdrive is a classic tube-amp overdrive with both Warm and Hot modes--like two pedals in one with totally different soundscapes. This pedal provides clean gain all the way up to crunchiness--$89 MSRP.
The SC-03 Echo has up to 600 milliseconds of delay. It's a super quiet and clean analog echo unit with a Wet/Dry and Feedback (called Intense) controls. I liked this for its simple operation and small size--perfect for inserting between other TWA pedals. It sells for $99 MSRP.
The SC-04 Chorus pedal has a good range of depth and speed/rate control and a separate Dry/Wet knob. All the lush, vintage-style chorusing is here in a very small package--$99 MSRP.
SC-05 Metal is an 80's-style high-gain distortion with Lo/Hi Boost switch. There are loads of tone and sound shapes juggling between the Distortion knob, the three Boost switch positions and the master Tone control. It sounded good even when I recorded it direct with no amp. It sells for $89 MSRP.
All pedals are physically too compact for an internal battery and require a 9V power supply connection. For much more information, videos and dealers, visit www.godlyke.com.
