TC Electronic Mimiq Mini Doubler

Opinions on the Mimiq are completely divided. Some people find it completely unusable, while others are very enthusiastic. In my opinion, the most important thing is how you approach the task: In my band, I'm usually the only guitarist. In the studio, I like to double certain tracks (record twice + hard panning). This gives a lot of punch and a sense of space, which I had been missing in live performances. I use the Mimiq in exactly this way. It absolutely must be used in stereo to create the doubling effect. In mono, it sounds more like a "bad chorus" or "out-of-time guitar with timing problems" (which is why the mini version, with only mono output, is not suitable). Secondly, it simply doesn't work with sounds that already have chorus and/or modulation delay/reverb. I've connected the Mimiq to the two insert jacks of my Boss GT1000 (stereo-link) and use it very deliberately on clean/distorted rhythm sounds that I want to sound thicker. For example, with clean sounds and a compressor and mod-delay, it remains switched off (which can be controlled from the GT1000).

Warning! This pedal can only be used in a stereo setup. It sounds terrible in mono.
