The Suhr Shiba Drive Reloaded Mini packs the exact same upgraded Reloaded circuit, and its associated tone, found in the full-size Shiba Drive Reloaded pedal into a compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. It offers Drive, Tone, and Level controls plus a two-position Smooth switch for hi-cut tonal shaping, true bypass switching, and operation from 9-18VDC power supplies. Suhr confirms the Mini's circuit is identical to the full-size Reloaded, so the format change is purely about size, not tone.
