If you're not aware, it's a distortion / fuzz pedal which you pour liquid into, different liquids create different tones... Minibar demo Top

Well, that certainly solves a problem that has been plaguing surf guitarist since NEVER. When high school science projects go wrong. You put WHAT in my fuzz pedal!!?? I neither agree nor disagree, I simply wish I had read a different post. Thanks for sharing, I think... At least it provided a few minutes of amusement. — -Tim MyYouTubeChannel My Classic Instrumental Surf Music Timeline SSS Agent #777 Top

I have one. It's a very good sounding overdrive, bordering on fuzz, depending on what you put in it. It's very reactive to whatever pick up setting the guitar is set to. And has an exceptionally low noise floor for the amount of gain it can produce. All in all it's a very nice sounding pedal that is totally usable for playing instrumental/garage style. It's only downside is that it's not very practical if you want to change the tone on the fly, of course. Right now i'm really digging the DI water sound. So far i've tried tequila with salt, Chartreuse with bitters, water with alum powder dissolved into it, filtered and tap water. It's fun. Last edited: Mar 05, 2020 21:52:54 Top

Is it just a couple of electrical leads that pass current through the liquid such that the most notable property is electrical resistance? Top

WAY more fun and interesting than another Tube Screamer, Rat or Klon or whatever. Their other products do some fun stuff too. There are two senors in there. Two sealed screw heads in the bottom of the container to act as contacts connected through the conductance of what you put in there. Then a row of LED's shines through the contents from one side of the container to Light Dependant Resistors on the opposing side. I've seen it working on a lump of bubble gum jammed in there. Top
