Using this pedal with a Traynor Custom Valve 40 mostly. Adds fur to overdrive fattening up signal without loosing character of the guitar. Playing a CIJ Jazzmaster and 87 Gibson LP Junior. Think of this pedal as a boost that adds some grit sorta making your tubes sound more on steroids. I find using the Minmo with my boost channel gave it a nice upper end which was a bit mucky by itself. Combining it with the overdrive channel made my juniors p-90's really punch ie; Leslie West to Tony Iommi kinda vibe. Also used Minmo through a Mesa Nomad with guitars mentioned and Gretch lapsteel for recording session. This pedal actually brought a lot of focus to the Boogie for some on the fly instrument changes.

Time will tell but Greg makes some pretty solid looking stuff so I definitely play live without a net. I had the Formula 76 for a while and used it live without any issues.

My style ranges from pop/experimental/noise/classic rock tones so the Minmo fits in well for a tone junkie such as myself. This pedal blends well with other pedals and fattens tube distortion. Using in clean channel can produce some nice breakup of vintage quality. Depending on whatever combination of pickup or amplifier the Minmo adds dimension and clarity to existing tone.
