The discontinues Paisley series featured paisley-patterned drive effects in original style enclosures. The Wasabi series features futuristic-looking enclosures.

Recently, a carrying case was developed to hold up to five mini effects in it. When the player is ready to play, the top may be removed and the bottom acts as a pedals board. Despite the many advantages of the mini effects, FAB effects are the ones primarily seen today. The Mini effects are often praised for their high quality tones, but the plastic construction makes them fragile.
