The Mini Effect Gizmo X is a compact, MIDI controlled audio loop switcher that can switch up to 6 effects. It also features two function switches for controlling compatible analog pedals or guitar amps. Its 6 true bypass audio loops can switch either mono or stereo effects, bypassing any unneeded effects and the cables that connect them which prevents them from degrading your tone!
Its small size allows it to be placed on or under a pedalboard, or in a rack drawer with your pedals. It’s compatible with all MIDI controllers, and works especially well with our products including the Mastermind series and the full size Effect Gizmo. You can add one – or even more Mini Effect Gizmo X's to increase the number of pedals you can control in your rig.
Basic setup and programming is simple. Plug in your pedals and MIDI controller, and programming each preset only takes a couple of button presses. The Mini Effect Gizmo X supports up to 1024 presets!
For advanced configurations, the Mini Effect Gizmo X has a USB C port that allows you to connect it to a Windows PC, Mac or iPad and make use of the Mini Effect Gizmo editor software. The editor software allows for more configuration options, including the ability to set individual loops to mono or stereo and to change the order of loops in each preset.
Control your pedals on a pedalboard, in a rack drawer, or wherever. The Mini Effect Gizmo X is small enough to fit almost anywhere
One button press on a MIDI controller can turn on any or all of the 6 connected pedals, and also control analog pedals or amp channels using the function switch output
6 true-bypass audio loops allow you to preserve your guitar’s tone. Unused effects – and the cables that connect them – are switched completely out of your signal path
The order of audio loops is fully user-programmable. Each preset can have a different programmable loop order
A built-in audio buffer is available at the input, preventing treble loss from long cable runs and certain effects. The buffer is switchable at any time
“Fuzz Mode” allows you to configure which loops have fuzz pedals or other pedals that are adversely affected by buffers. The Mini Effect Gizmo X will turn off the buffer when those pedals are turned on, and in the first active position
When used with a Mastermind GT, the Mini Effect Gizmo X can act as a tuner, displaying the tuner status on the Mastermind

The Overture has six overdrive modes
This mode, an RJM original, offers boost up to a light overdrive. It has the highest maximum output level of all of the modes, and is excellent at pushing an amp into overdrive. Both Bass and Treble controls are active in this mode.
A tribute to what is arguably the most popular overdrive ever made. It can be smooth or a little aggressive, with a prominent midrange emphasis. This mode has the lowest output level of all the modes, but it’s still plenty for almost any purpose. The Bass control isn’t active in this mode.
Based on the a boutique version of the classic. This mode is much less compressed and has somewhat less midrange focus. It has a “leaner” and more open sound. The Bass control isn’t active in this mode.
Based on another, more extensive modification of the classic circuit, this one has a flatter frequency response compared to the other modes and offers a wider range of tones than the previous two modes thanks to the Bass control.
This mode combines fairly high headroom with a special MOSFET clipping circuit that produces a more saturated sound, similar to some cascaded gain amps. The Bass control operates differently in this mode, adjusting both bass and treble at the same time and changing the overall voice of the overdrive.
The last mode, another RJM original, adds some hard clipping and more aggressive midrange, allowing it to get into harder rock territory. Both Treble and Bass controls are active in this mode.
