About This Item
Description
Need drive, chorus and delay without hauling three pedals to practice? The Dapper Mini packs an OD/DIST-switchable drive, a chorus and a tap-tempo delay into a 197mm strip, with a cab-sim headphone output so you can practice without waking the house.
Why guitarists choose the Dapper Mini
- The OD/DIST toggle on the DRIVE module means you get two gain characters from one control set, instead of needing separate overdrive and distortion pedals.
- A dedicated tap switch drives the DELAY module up to 1000 ms, so you can match delay time to tempo on the fly.
- The adjustable PHONES output includes a cab simulator, so headphone practice still sounds like an amp instead of a raw DI signal.
- Hold the CHORUS module's footswitch to access the built-in tuner without unplugging.

FAQ
Does it come with a power adapter? Valeton does not publish an included adapter for the Dapper Mini; plan to supply your own 9V DC center-negative adapter rated for at least 110 mA.
What's the maximum delay time? Up to 1000 ms, controlled via the dedicated tap-tempo switch on the DELAY module.
Does the headphone output sound like a real amp? The PHONES output includes a built-in cab simulator, so it's shaped for headphone practice rather than a raw DI signal.
How do I access the tuner? Hold the CHORUS module's footswitch; the unit mutes and the tuner activates.
What power supply does it need? A 9V DC center-negative adapter rated for at least 110 mA.
How is this different from the Dapper Indie? Dapper Indie is a wider 320mm board with two gain stages and three delay/reverb voices; the Dapper Mini is a compact single-drive, single-delay strip. See Dapper Indie.
