Ibanez FuzzMini

The Ibanez FuzzMini, known as the Ibanez 850 Fuzz Mini, is a compact fuzz pedal from Ibanez. MusicRadar described it as "an adorable mini version of its recent reissue of the classic distortion box, the Ibanez OD850," so it packs the OD850's fuzz circuit into a small enclosure that saves pedalboard space¹. Gearnews reported it as part of Ibanez's range of diminutive effects pedals when it launched².

What it does

The pedal is a fuzz effect: it pushes your guitar signal into heavy clipping for a saturated, sustaining tone. MusicRadar's take on its character was blunt: "Dime the sustain and disappear for days"¹. The reviewer's overall verdict was "Small but mighty!"¹.

Its controls follow the classic three-knob Muff control topology³:

The knobs are variously labeled Volume or Level, Tone, and Sustain or Drive, depending on the version³.

For power, it has a modern center negative powerjack, which makes it compatible with standard pedalboard power supplies¹. No battery or current draw figures are given here.

How it compares

As a mini pedal, its selling point is size: the same OD850-derived fuzz circuit in a smaller box than the full-size reissue¹. Players after a similar compact fuzz with the same simple control set could also look at the SviSound Germanium Fuzz Mini, which pairs a Volume knob that sets your output with a Fuzz knob that controls the amount of distortion dialed in⁴.
