“Yes, we’re aware that an overdrive pedal this tiny is a bit ridiculous”: Olinthus has just made the world’s smallest stompbox and it’s a $99 TS clone that fits in the palm of your hand

Olinthus Cicada.

With many things in life, it’s best to start out small, and that’s exactly what Olinthus has done as the brand new effects company makes its debut with the world’s smallest stompbox, the appropriately named Cicada.

We might need a citation on that. It is a bold claim. But this is the guitar mini-pedal taken to its logical conclusion – it’s the Tube Screamer clone you can keep in your shirt pocket as though it were a packet of cigarettes, and a lot healthier for you, too.
