The Ibanez Super Metal Mini is a compact mini-enclosure revival of the classic Ibanez SM9 Super Metal distortion pedal, one of the most celebrated vintage high-gain distortion designs from the 1980s. The SM9 Super Metal was known for its extreme gain and heavy metal voicing at a time when dedicated high-gain pedals were rare, and the Super Metal Mini reissues this circuit in a pedalboard-efficient mini format. Guitar World and vintage pedal enthusiasts have praised the SM9 character as a defining example of 1980s heavy metal distortion design.
The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Fault V2 is the refined second version of OBNE's boutique overdrive and distortion pedal, improving on the original V1 with enhanced tonal control and refined circuit voicing in hand-built boutique quality.
