Description

Ibanez produced the SMMINI Super Metal Mini Pedal as a compact reissue of the SM9 Super Metal, bringing that pedal's five-knob control layout into a smaller housing. It was part of Ibanez's Mini pedal family, positioned for players who wanted the SM9's tonal range without the pedalboard footprint.

The SMMINI retained 100% analog circuitry and a five-knob configuration comprising two stacked pairs — Edge/Punch and Attack/Level — alongside a larger central Drive knob. A true bypass switch provided a direct signal path when the effect was disengaged. The unit was manufactured in Japan and operated on an external DC 9V power supply with a negative centre pin, drawing 23mA.

Owners sourcing a replacement power supply should ensure it meets the DC 9V negative-centre-pin specification at or above 23mA. For any internal service, calibration or circuit-level repair, consult a qualified electronics technician experienced with effects pedal circuitry.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
