Hopper Pedals is proud to announce the release their compact line of accessory pedals. The Micro Series line includes five pedals: The Cable Tester, Tap Tempo, The Mini-Looper, The Mini-A/B Box, and the Patch Box.
The Cable Tester: Enclosed in a Hammond 1590A (3.64" x 1.52" x 1.06"), this cable tester can easily be stored in any guitar case. The tester may be used to check patch cables or any other unbalanced instrument cable. The chrome ferrules on the enclosed Neutrik jacks accompanied by the glass lens on the chrome bezel and the bright yellow activator switch give this tester a unique look. The cable tester includes a 9V battery.
Tap Tempo: This tap tempo (1.99" x 1.99" x 1.06) is small enough to fit anywhere on your pedalboard, or anywhere on stage. This pedal is completely passive, therefore requiring no power to operate. There is also a sub-miniature toggle switch which allows for reversing the pedal's polarity for certain delay pedals. Each tap tempo pedal comes with a free 3ft Canare GS-4 cable with a straight Neutrik gold connector and a right angle gold G&H plug.
The Mini-Looper: This true bypass looper is encased in the Hammond 1590A. The looper uses a heavy duty 3PDT switch, Switchcraft jacks secured with lock washers, and a bright blue led in a chrome bezel with a glass lens for optimum light distribution. Power connects via a standard 2.1 x 5.5mm Boss style 9V DC jack. The Mini-Looper can also be used passively without power.
The Mini-A/B: Hopper Pedals incorporated the "X" style grounding wiring scheme when designing this pedal which allows for quiet switching. A bi-color blue and white led provides for easy signal route identification. The Mini A/B box incorporates a Hammond 1590A enclosure, Switchcraft jacks, chrome bezel with a glass lens, heavy duty 3PDT switch, and a standard 2.1 x 5.5mm Boss style 9V DC jack. The Mini A/B box can also be used passively without power.
Patch Box: The Patch Box allows the guitarist to leave their pedal chain permanently connected. The guitar plugs into the "in" jack and the "out" jack remains connected to the first pedal in the chain making setup and takedown a breeze. The Patch Box uses high end Neutrik enclosed jacks with chrome ferrules in a Hammond 1590A enclosure.
Hopper Pedals are handmade in the USA. Only the finest parts and materials are used such as WBT silver solder, silver plated military spec wire, and TechSpray G3 Solvent.
