A micro pedal is a compact effects unit designed to save space on a pedalboard while still delivering high-quality sound. These pedals are typically smaller than standard stompboxes, making them ideal for musicians who need a portable or space-efficient setup without compromising on tone.

Many top brands, such as Mooer, TC Electronic, and Xotic, offer micro pedals covering everything from overdrive and delay to modulation and compression. Despite their small size, these pedals often feature true bypass, premium components, and intuitive controls, making them a favourite among gigging musicians and those looking to maximise their pedalboard real estate.
