3.4 Effect controls
(7)
DUBS
- Select the number of additional guitar layers that will be mixed with
your original guitar signal.
(8)
TIGHTNESS
- This knob adjusts how much variation there is in the extra
layers of guitar. In other words, it controls how tight or loose the simulated
overdubs are, including variations in time, pick attack, and pitch. The layers
get looser as the knob is turned clockwise.
(9)
EFFECT
- This knob adjusts only the level of the overdubs. When used
in conjunction with the Dry knob, the desired balanced can be achieved.
See “Chapter 4: Operation” for details.
(10)
DRY
- This knob adjusts how much of the input signal is sent to the outputs.
Turning the knob fully clockwise will reach unity gain, sending the full input
signal to the outputs.
4. Operation
4.1 Signal chain placement
The Mimiq pedal can be used several ways depending on your situation.
While there isn't necessarily a right and wrong use, here are the most
common scenarios.
Example 1: Before the amp’s input
Running the Mimiq before an amp’s input

Chorus
(mono or stereo)

(Optional amp
for stereo operation)
Combo Amp
For live use, or when recording the speaker of a real guitar amp, it is generally
preferable to place the Mimiq after any overdrive/distortion pedals. This will
give you optimum control over the layers and provide the most authentic
multitracked effect.
You could also experiment with an intentionally lo-fi effect by running the
Mimiq before a distortion pedal, using all 3 additional voices and turning the
Tightness knob to the right for a very loose and deliberately muddy sound. In this
case, the effect of the Mimiq is less pronounced, but would add to the sludgy,
stoner-rock vibe.
Since the Mimiq has stereo input and output jacks, you could incorporate it into
a stereo setup with 2 different amps. Though the extra layers cannot be panned,
this will still give a very wide effect along with a chorus, stereo delay, etc.
