Great little pedal
While building my pedalboard I had a massive issue deciding between an Ibanez TS9 and a Maxon OD9. After spending hours watching videos of the two, comparing and contrasting tones, I finally came across the TS mini. This little pedal packs a punch and easily matches- maybe even surpasses the tone of the TS9.

its a TS9 RI with miniature components to allow it to squeeze into the little box, I expect that in this circuit the switch to tiny parts won't effect the sound one bit, heck, in a lot of the RI TS9s they don't use the original JRC4558 opamp everyone is nutty for but I could barely hear a difference between friend's RI and my 80s one, nor could I ehar much discernable difference between either of those, a maxon OD9 and an original TS808, they were all a smidge different at exatly the same settings but could be made to sound identical with minimal tweaking... go small, just know that miniature parts, especially pots, are not durable.... be gentle

@Jimmarchi1 Must be my imagination then! I love the little thing anyway. I'll probably upgrade to a bigger one at some point if the mini one ain't as durable then. Thanks for the advice dude!

Great for beginners!
I bought the Apogee second hand off a friend. As I was a complete newbie to home recording this was easy to get to grips with - Plug it in, install the drivers, record! The sound quality of recorded guitar and vocals is great. I haven't utilised the built in microphone as of yet but i Have no doubt I will for something like acoustic guitar etc. Fully recommend this to anyone who wants to get into home recording.

Beautiful delays, great looper, only one downfall.
I've been playing with this pedal for about four months and I absolutely love it. The range of delays absolutely blows my mind as they are all as good each other. After spending some time on it with a friend of mine who has had the pedal for a bit longer than me, I finally got a few presents i'm comfortable with. The only issue I have with this pedal is that you can only activate the looper using a manual switch. Other than that i absolutely adore this pedal.

Spectacular.
One of the most versatile amp's i've ever used. Absolutely stunning tone with silky cleans and nasty (in a good way) crunches. Paired with my orange 2x12 it makes for a combination that could (with a little work on the tone and some great pedals) make for the perfect tone.
