Harley Benton MiniStomp Hot Mod

To get back into playing, I bought a Harley Benton TE52 about a year ago. I loved the guitar so much that since then I have bought two more HB guitars. So when I learned of the new Harley Benton MiniStomp series, I decided to give them a go and ordered this modulation pedal along with three different overdrive pedals.

Unfortunately, the pedals were all disappointing. For the modulation pedal: (1) there is nothing in the documentation on what each effect is supposed to be; (2) the functions of the turning knobs seem inconsistent between settings and are extremely sensitive, such that at one point you achieve an interesting effect, whereas the slightest change makes the effects ridiculous; (3) the knobs do not have an indicator stripe, which makes it impossible to see the setting except in bright light, close up; (4) the pedal adds an unacceptable amount of noise to the signal; and finally, (5) the build quality is rather poor: two of the pedals I received had issues. On this one, the LED didn't work.

I had expected much more from HB!
