Controls and design
The Dealbreaker keeps its control layout simple: a tone control, a gain control, and a bright/normal toggle switch that changes the pedal's voicing1. Like the rest of the MiniStomp range, it is built in a solid metal housing2. Harley Benton's own product page for the pedal is the MiniStomp Dealbreaker listing2.
