Jhs Pedals AT MINI

A "straight to the point" version: the V1 DNA fixed on the 100 watts sweet spot

The AT MINI goes straight to the point with a very clear idea: to capture the character of the V1 "AT" circuit and keep it permanently on the liveliest and widest behavior, the one many describe as the "100 watts mode." In this configuration, the pedal breathes more: the sound feels bigger, more open, with lighter compression and a volume reserve that immediately gives that saturated amp channel sensation.
Rather than multiplying options, it embraces a signature setting designed for playing. You engage it, and you find a crisp response, a midrange that carries, and that typically British bite that keeps the guitar clear in the mix, even when the gain climbs.

Who is the AT MINI for, and in which styles does it make a difference?

This pedal is aimed at guitarists looking for an expressive overdrive/distortion focused on dynamics and touch. If you like to feel the difference between a light attack and a strong pick stroke, or switch from a muscular crunch to a singing lead simply by playing with the guitar's volume, the AT MINI is clearly in its element.
In terms of styles, it naturally fits in rock, classic rock, blues-rock, fusion, and more broadly anything that requires an articulated drive that doesn't collapse when stacking chords. On stage, it can become your main "dirty" channel on a clean or slightly crunchy amp. In the studio, it delivers saturation full of texture, ideal for recording guitars with body without becoming a muddy wall.

Controls and handling: the efficiency of a pedal designed for the pedalboard

The AT MINI features a simple and musical ergonomics, designed to quickly find the right balance. A gain control allows you to dial from punchy crunch to denser saturation, while the output level lets you have room to drive the amp's input or simply balance volumes between clean and saturated sounds.
The tone section is used to adjust brightness and overall balance without falling into unusable extremes: the goal is to maintain definition, avoid harshness in the highs, and keep a solid low end. Being locked on the "100 watts mode" enhances this "amp front" feeling: more available volume, a drive that stretches without squashing, and a more direct response under the fingers.

The sound

The sonic character of the AT MINI evokes a British stack starting to break up: firm low end, present mids (the ones that make the guitar stand out), and a high end open enough to preserve attack and articulation. The fixed "100 watts" setting brings a sense of width and breathing: the pedal seems to hold back the signal less, with lighter compression and a livelier feel, very pleasant when playing with a pick.
In rhythm playing, you get a stable attack that "hits" in the right way, perfect for riffs and tight chords. In lead, the saturation sings without becoming muddy: bends and vibratos hold their shape, sustain comes naturally, and each note keeps a true identity. The result: a drive pedal that makes you want to play because it follows your right hand instead of smoothing it out.
