Critic Reviews

Audio Kitchen The Small Trees review

guitar.com

The Small Trees delivers a lush, sonically transparent clean boost experience, showcasing exquisite treble and touch sensitivity that positions it well above many solid-state competitors. While it's expertly crafted for straightforward applications, its lack of versatility might be a letdown for those seeking complex tonal manipulation. The pedal shines as a line driver and attenuator, but additional noise and subtle bass roll-off at unity gain may deter perfectionists. If your needs align with its strengths, The Small Trees offers a sublime, earthy tone worth the investment.

Audio Kitchen The Small Trees Review

russomusic.com

A standout in the boost pedal realm, Audio Kitchen's The Small Trees delivers a rich, Class A clean boost that breathes life into your sound without overshadowing your tone. Its all-analog design and responsive controls cater to both live and studio settings, making it versatile for musicians seeking clarity and character. While it excels in enhancing clean signals and offers a unique tonal lift, it may not provide the same level of gain as some players might expect from a boost pedal. Overall, The Small Trees is a remarkable addition to any pedalboard, proving that when it comes to clean tones, this pedal truly shines.
