New Markbass effects, Distorsore, Booster, etc...

Some cool looking new stuff from Markbass. I especially like the graphic eq and sliding controls of the new distorsore, plus it's small! All pedals are powered with a 9v/12v DC adaptor or a 9v battery.

Invalid Link Removed - Has a 7-band EQ along with gain and volume. Looks awesome.
Invalid Link Removed - Has a standard boost and a 7-band EQ. I don't know wether each can be used independently
Invalid Link Removed - Supposedly a more versatile and tonally adjustable version of their Bass Tube Marker. Instead of just one knob, it has two tone knobs: one with a sweep of 200 Hz to 2.5kHz, the other an 800hz cut of 0 to - 20dB
[This invalid link has been removed] - Pretty simple, tiny, bass oriented boost. Has a VPF filter which boosts lows and highs, and cuts mids

Their dimensional measurements for the mini pedals were logically incorrect, judging by the pictures, so by using the metric measurements I determined for the two pedals to be smaller than a standard MXR Phase 90. I don't see any dimensions for the graphic ones, but judging by the footswitch, they're rather small, maybe smaller than a BBE pedal.

They've done a well needed downsize of their pedals, along with the design and usability of the pedals. I especially like the more complex boost and distortion versions, they look extremely versatile.
 
The graphic booster looks like it would be awesome for overdriving my walkabout (a quest I've been on for a while). They also look small, and I'm glad to see other people finding interest. When they come on market maybe somebody could tell us how much they like one of the minis or graphics?
