We have all grown to love (or at least like) mini pedals for an effect or another on our board, but one of the format's obvious limitations isthat it doesn't give builders much space to be imaginative...

New Pedals: Seamoon Funk Filter

Filters change your instrument's tone quite radically, and because of this, musicians who use them get very picky about them - just ask any synth enthusiast.
