Tightness at high settings,
heavy riffs sound menacing
and made for modern metal.
Lower settings give a looser
feel, and hearken back
to Sabbath or even Led
Zeppelin-esque old-school
metal.
While it works wonders for
heavy players, you don’t
have to be a metalhead to
enjoy the Mimiq. PGS Andy
proves this with his spoton rendition of The Clash’s
classic “Should I Stay Or
Should I Go” in his Mimiq
demo. Using the Mimiq set
to three extra guitars, with
the stereo outputs feeding
a stereo reverb, simple
chord structures turned
into powerful anthems.
Even when playing in mono,
the Mimiq adds a touch of
subtle space that is perhaps
noticed more when it’s off
then on, but it is extremely
satisfying and pleasing to
the ear.
noodling and transforms it
into arena-ready emotional
electricity.
The Mimiq is a welcome
addition to any studio or
stage guitarist that desires
authentic doubling effects
without lugging tons of
expensive gear around or
having an engineer devoted
solely to your guitar signal.
Whether you’re looking to
create a destructive wall of
sound for riff-based metal,
or want to enhance your
power pop trio by adding
depth and dimension, the
Mimiq is happy to serve
you. While it may not be the
first effect that comes to
mind when you picture your
dream pedalboard, you may
have a hard time turning
it off once you’ve played
through it.
WHAT WE LIKE
Great doubling effects
dialed in with minimum
effort. Stereo capability. The
TC Electronic quality we all
know and love.
CONCERNS
None.
Using the Mimiq for solos
alone is worth the price
of entry. Guitar solos are
somewhat expected at some
point during any band’s set,
but adding some Mimiq
to the mix takes mundane
