Harley Benton MiniStomp Green Tint Reviews

Great for acoustic guitar gigs

I use if for my acousic guitar in acoustic duo to spice up the things a bit when needed. It’s cool, light, cheap and nice sound mostly for solos..

Great TS alternative

It sounds good, it takes up no space, it comes with perfectly cut velcro. It's honestly a perfect product.

I don't get the TS sound?

Like all the other TS's it's dull and lifeless. So no thanks.

For this price? Don't think, just get it

It's a TS basically, although with an added boost? But is it? Sound-wise it's similar. And I can get the nice mid-range tightening with the gain all the way down, and level all the way up. But in reality, it just works. It's a nice little drive that fits great on the pedalboard. It might not be a TS, but it sounds fine. And for that price, its a no-brainer.

who doesn't need one of these?

tubescreamers are great for boosting and clearing muddy amp distortion. This one is really well built, sounds as good as any, and costs very little. I have bought guitar gear for 25 years, trust me I am not easy to impress. A lot of my gear is from Harley Benton

Just right

This pedal adds just the right amount of grit and growl to the sound. Worth every penny at twice the price. Very well built and easy to dial in for "that sound" you heard or have in your imagination.

A pocket-sized green screamer!

The Harley Benton MiniStomp series are out of this world. They are compact, sturdy, and easy to use. The pedal can be used to get a crunchy clean tone or to go full rockstar activating the gain booster. For 20 bucks, it's a no brainer.

The only less good element of the MiniStomp series is the tiny knobs for volume and tone. That's the trade-off for having such a compact pedal, though. And it's worth it nonetheless.

Pro tip: combine the Green Tint with the Drop Kick for an awesome array of overdrive sounds!

Huge sound from tiny pedal

It`s not really a clone of big I TS, but it does a simillar thing. I have it for couple of months now and use it to push my Bugera G20. Sweet!

Not sure really. Less messing than amp twiddling, but…

This was my first overdrive. Nicely made but I quickly realised that I prefer the natural overdrive of my tube amp on the gain nob, and mostly run the amp clean anyway. Maybe overdrive isn’t my thing, but at least I didn’t blow my life savings finding out. Probably worth a punt to most though. Without an expensive overdrive to compare it with I can’t really tell if it sounded cheap, or I just don’t like transistor distortion.

Just What I Needed

Picked-up the HB TE-20 (a great player's guitar, turns out) and thought I would take advantage of that existing shipping (I'm in U.S.) and pick-up this low cost pedal to create a new rig. Set all dials to 12:00 and flipped the boost switch. Good to go. Mind-blowing value from HB, yet again. Thanks!

Great affordable alternative

Though it feels like the output level is slightly lower than the pedal it is inspired by, it is an otherwise great take on the popular overdrive.

The Boost feature adds extra fatness and low-end in my experience, almost as if it is a cleaner boost. Pedal feels well made, and the affordability plus straight sides make it perfect to use those tiny Z-shaped plugs between them to save space and cabling, so very practical design too. Very happy with it after months of use!

More of a boost pedal.

For some reason I was sure I was buying a tube screamer clone, however, it lacks overdrive. A lot of it. You can get into crunch territory with it, but not much past that.. Can be used as a boost pedal with no problem, though. Built quality feels better than you would expect for a 20€ pedal.
