Chasing new gear.

Effects and digital move fastest, and the interesting question is never whether a new box is good. It is what it does that the last one could not.

What actually changes

Most new pedals are a variation. The ones that matter change one of three things: they model something accurately that previously had to be bought, they put a signal path in software, or they change the interface so that something tedious becomes quick. Everything else is a colour.

• 01Modeling accuracy — measured against the reference circuit, not described against it
• 02Latency and headroom — the numbers that decide whether a digital path is usable live
• 03Signal path — where the converters sit, and what that costs you
• 04Interface — whether you can change it mid-song without looking
