Rainger FX have always been known for their unique and out-of-the-ordinary effects pedals. The Minibar is the latest mind-boggling stompbox to join the British company's diverse lineup, and trust us – it's unlike anything you've ever seen before!

An overdrive pedal in its most basic form, the Minibar allows you to pour any concoction of your choice into its integrated container – with the properties of the liquid you've added determining the sound of the pedal! Affecting the type of distortion and the shape of the EQ, the Minibar's tone can be tweaked in some of the most unconventional ways you can think of!

A Journey Into Sound

Rainger FX are inviting you to take part in an experiment in tone-shaping discover. This mini pedal makes no sound at all until you pour liquid into it – any kind at all. The various qualities of that liquid decide the amount, and to some degree, the quality of the distortion and the amount of treble and bass. What you use to do this is entirely up to you. Any sort of mixture you can dream up!

The pedal is simplicity itself; it has a volume knob, and a small watertight container mounted in the top panel; unscrew the lid, get pouring and analyse! Then, when you’ve got your own unique sound, screw the lid on tightly and you’re ready to go. Finger tight is fine, but don’t get too forceful as some liquids can give a sticky-ness over time that makes the lid harder to undo.

To start again with experimenting, just open the lid and wipe out the container with a paper towel. You’ll hear the guitar sound crumble away to nothing, but as the new liquid hits the container the resulting new sound appears.

Technical Details

The conductivity of the guitar’s AC signal generally decides the amount of gain, and the opacity (how easily light passes through it) decides the amount of treble and bass. The Minibar often creates satisfying ‘band-pass’ tones – nicely uncompressed, and with plenty of satisfying harmonics and plectrum ‘cluck’.

Please note: The pedal is sold with no liquid in it, and so will make no noise at all – until you do your bit! It’s up to you to go and experiment…

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

FX — FX, or effects, are guitar pedals and processors used to shape, enhance, or completely transform your sound. They can add anything from subtle colour and warmth to dramatic textures, ambience, and movement, allowing players to craft a tone that suits their style, genre, and playing approach. Whether used individually or chained together, FX pedals give control over dynamics, distortion, modulation, delay, reverb, and more. From simple analogue designs to advanced digital units, effects are a core part of modern guitar setups, helping players create distinctive and expressive sounds.. Overdrive — Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit, and natural compression to your tone, capturing the feel of a pushed tube amp. They respond dynamically to your playing, offering everything from a light bluesy crunch to full, saturated rock tones. Perfect for boosting solos or shaping your core sound, an overdrive pedal brings character and life to any setup. Whether you prefer vintage smoothness or modern bite, these pedals are essential for players who want expressive, touch-sensitive drive with plenty of personality.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
