An easy way to create one is by building the PedalinoMini™ 4. I aimed to keep it as simple as possible.
PedalinoMini™ 4 operates seamlessly with its 4 footswitches, featuring a big 1.9" color display equipped with WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB capabilities. It is powered through a USB-C port from the computer or using either a power adapter or, for enhanced convenience, a compact power bank, ensuring up to 6 hours of uninterrupted functionality.
Do you need more footswitches? PedalinoMini™ 6 or PedalinoMini™ 8 is for you.
