Sonic Stomp Mini : Sonic Stomp Mini

I have two Sonic Stomps - the Mini and its larger brother. The Mini is convenient because it is small, but it does require the extra bulk of an external power supply, whereas the larger version can be used with an internal 9v battery. Both perform equally well.

I use them to enhance the sound of an acoustic guitar either through Bose or Fishman line arrays. The result is a clarity and purity of sound which is difficult to describe - much like the gratification of fitting new strings to replace an aging set. . The difference is more crystalline and focused. By accident I added the Sonic Stomp to the vocal line and discovered that this works like magic to clean up and define the voices. Once the settings are optimised they rarely need any adjustment - perhaps a slight roll off of the base or treble frequencies as the volume rises. It is one of those devises that one doesn't realise how good it is, until it is turned off! I wouldn't be without it, both for rehearsing and live performance.

I highly recommend this to anyone in the quest for purity of amplified sound. There are no cons - it is a sturdy well built product that does exactly what it is designed to do.
