Just like its bigger-box brethren, the Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition Mini is topped off with a 3-way Jazz/Rock/Bypass control that allows for the shifting of your signal’s Q, providing three distinct tonal voices at the flip of a switch! Superior sonic sculpting The Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition Mini might look like your standard 3-knob overdrive from the outset, but the truth is that this diminutive pedal boasts a superior level of sonic sculpting. Unlike a standard stompbox tone knob, this pedal’s filter sweep is fine-tuned to precisely adjust your midrange focus between 800Hz and 1.2kHz, making it a breeze to pin down the vocal-like mids found on the Steel String MKII Slight Return Edition Mini’s amplifier inspiration. Jazz/Rock/Bypass switch for a trio of tones For players looking to cover a wide range of sonic ground, a 3-way Jazz/Rock/Bypass switch shifts the Q to either your signal’s low end (Jazz) or high end (Rock), with a neutral position that bypasses the control entirely. There are certainly a few Sweetwater audio engineers that would love to delve into the nitty-gritty here, but we’ll leave you with a more succinct summation: Rock is ideal for tightening up your dirty tones; Jazz is perfect for smoothing over your signal during cleaner passages.
