For this price, difficult to find one better
Miguel Francisco 14.04.2020
First of all it sounds right and full. It has the most important effets on a pocket unit. Well built though knobs are a bit fragile or at least they look like. Beautifully build and well put together. Most of build is like a tank. Some parts not the same as I have already said. It works well before my tube amp. (A VHT Special 6 Ultra) Flexibility of Delay is wonderful. Its cabin simulation for headphones is very welcome for quite rehearsals. Crunch and Lead are possible with Overdrive and Distortion. Plenty of tones out of this little box. Chorus will change your analog sound very much, (be aware of it) but it is a beautiful and very flexible effet anyway. I would have prefer a lateral rock switch (like some wha's pedals have) to switch between Distortion and Overdrive with your foot and a led in the place of the current switch to indicate yellow over drive and red distortion. This is just a wish since there is room for improvement of an already good unit. (Please Thomann, forward this comment to the manufacturer. We never know if they may listen) PS is included. I recommend it for those who take his amp to band rehearsals to avoid moving a complete pedal board or having to buy a more expensive digital unit. This will go in the pocket of your amp cover or guitar bag. Two jack to jack cables and you are ready to rock. So convenience is met too.

Very nice on the fly pedal.
Geronimo76 01.08.2019
It's small, will fit in your guitarcase.
Has all the basic effects
Sounds very good!

I needed a small pedal as a back-up for my pedalboard, and for jams and small gigs.
Tried the Boss ME80, but that still is too complicated for me.
And i don't like the Boss drives.

This thing sounds good, especially for the price!

Only con i can think of is that headphone volume isn't loud enough.

This pedal is everything you'll ever need for electric guitar!!!!
Green hawk 23.12.2022
Okay, I'll be honest with you. It's hard to find distortion pedal that suits your needs, but Valeton did amazing job with this fantastic multi-pedal. I have BOSS DS-1 and Valeton Dapper Mini has abnormally better distortion than big BOSS. I really admire the switch between overdrive and distortion. When you need it, you just flick it! Personally, I'd rather have separated footswitch for OD and DS, but if you're OK with flicking with finger then this is right for you. Chorus is very good, but far from perfect and that doesn't bother me. Delay is some sort of digital type and it does the job amazingly, especially manual mode for time value. The tuner is ok, you can't expect something so good from that because it's just a bonus. All in all, amazing pedal strip, I recommend it to all guitarists there, you won't be disappointed. I'll have it on my pedalboard till I die!

The essentials in a compact package
Erky32 23.09.2021
Great value, all the essentials delay/chorus/drive/tuner all in one tiny package. Well thought out, bright led indicators, small footprint and adequate control for all functions. If I was to add one more item it would be a minimal preamp control for tone & gain, but at the price this packs all the essentials. I fitted strong magnets on the base of mine for easy attachment to the amp handle metal parts, OK that's no use for feet but as a hand control it simplifies a mobile/busking style package. I would certainly buy it again if lost or damaged.

Dapper Mini 4
"Doc" 11.04.2017
This unit has 3 of the most used effects. Very simple controls to understand. Very practical for small to medium gigs. I have 3 different amps ( Fender Cyber Twin SE, Fender Princeton Corus, and a Vox mini 50 into a Fender mustang 4x12, 4 ohm cab. I play in a southern rock band. Great sound from all 3 amps. I'm very pleased with this Dapper mini, and the great service of Thomann. Looking forward to doing more business with this company in the future, thanks, from Tennessee, D. Knight

It's OK.
Aravena 30.07.2024
I like it but I don't love it. Some of the sounds are great but I find it quite fiddly and not super easy to set up, especially on the fly. It's a decent studio option, but these things are meant to be used live, so actually it then becomes a good rehearsal option. This creates the problem that you can't then replicate the sound you had at rehearsal without having to dial in sounds using small knobs that are not easily seen in low light.

I still like it though.

A feel-good FX unit
Bob Katsionis 31.03.2021
This one sits nicely in front of my amps and gives me that extra thing when I want to record something with a bit of "chorus-y" sound or add a bit of gain (featuring a useful OD-Dist switch).

The delay is a bit nahhhh but then again who would record a delayed sound without a really good FX pedal/unit?

For it's price tag is just great, it feels good having it over there, really convenient.
For live use, wouldn't recommended it as it's so small you may lose it under the monitor wedge :-p
But then again, not all people have the same needs, so just go for it.

GREAT SYNTH COMPANION !
Rad Vad 30.11.2024
In the sea of guitarist reviews I may be the first to say it's a great companion to mono synths also and unbeatable at this price!

Purchased for TD-3-MO mainly, it has all the classic effects an acid machine requires AND matches the classic 303 silver appearance 🤓

The sound quality is good and everything's straight-forward, nothing complex. The build is very good for this price - a proper weighty full metal pedal and LEDs are surprisingly bright. Small con is the tiny rubber knobs but unless you're hyper-tweaking on the fly, it's no problem. Great unit, recommended widely!

Fantastic 4-in-1 solution
Ray97 25.03.2019
All effects sound and work great. The tuner's decent. The metal chassis feels sturdy but the switches seem slightly flimsy. The chorus switch seems to have worn a little bit after repeated use of the tuner and some of knobs feel a bit stiff but overall it's very solid and will hopefully last for years.

I use it mainly at home but it's also very easy to take along to rehearsals and so on as it easily fits into a gigbag and all you need is to make sure you don't forget the power supply.

Overall, great product, strongly recommend!

Good for the price.
Anonymous 21.03.2022
Happy with it overall. Works well. Sound is ok and it's good value.
Tuner can be a little unresponsive at times but it's grand overall.
