Critic Reviews

Malekko Omicron Series: Fuzz to Phaser Pedal Reviews - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Malekko Heavy Industry Chicklet Reverb packs a big punch in a tiny package, delivering lush, deep reverb tones that are perfect for those tired of lugging around large spring tanks. With its compact size and natural decay feature, it's a great addition for guitarists who want room-filling sound without tone degradation. However, it sacrifices true-bypass for the sake of smooth decay, which might not sit well with purists. Overall, the Chicklet succeeds in offering vintage sound at an affordable price, making it a worthwhile investment for reverb enthusiasts looking to save pedalboard space.
