7 New Must-Have Pedals in 2022

$209 | A creative reverb with 3 algorithms that react dynamically to your performance and freeze the reverb trails. Each mode adds to the reverb different extra effects (wobbling vibrato, stacked resonant delays or step filtering). Decay controls the reverb's length, while the Rate and Depth knobs are mode-dependent, controlling the parameters of the non-reverb effect.

$249 | Based on the innovative multi-mode format of the TS-inspired Bonsai, PackRat is a tribute to the 40+ years of RAT distortion evolution through 9 voices accurately replicating various RAT models and RAT-inspired pedals, including JHS's popular but now discontinued mod. Basically, it's 9 RATS inside one compact case.

$349 | a dual, stereo phaser with a 3-mode, 4-stage vintage-style circuit on the left and a more modern 6-stage with controllable resonance one on the right. The voice knob controls simultaneously over 30 parameters and can deliver also flanger and chorus effects. The left channel has an Envelope mode that works like an auto-wah, while Barber mode delivers a continously rising sweep.

$299 | Nothing short of a game changer. This fuzz automatically regulates its own internal temperature to ensure that the bias of the famously unstable germanium transistors is always set at an appropriate level. In addition to its reliability, the pedal comes with a buffer and passive pickup simulator, which allow it to be placed anywhere in your signal chain, even next to a wah.

$299 | Twice as wide as V1, this multi-mode arcade game-inspired pedal packs a ton of new features, including a stereo path, a mini-sequencer, and an LCD screen to help you make sense of it all. The modes aree Stretch (glitchy delay/reverse), Air (grainy reverb), Ring (ring mod), Clube (digital fuzz with filter), Freq (weird frequency filter) and Wave (Time based modulator).

$199 | A flanger with a wide tonal palette. Three flanger flavors through the d-f-v knob: Dry, Flange, Vibrato. Shape changes the LFO from sine to triangle, or random LFO. The Voice switch delivers a more traditional and full flanger (down position), and a more complex and notched effect with less low end (up). Blend reintegrates the clean signal.

$199 | A spacey, creative, multi-mode, modulated Reverb with 8 preset slots featuring a pitch shifting engine that can deliver upper and lower octaves and fifths and also ascending/descending bending pitch effects. The Stretch footswitch doubles the length of the reverb while adding an adjustable pitch-bending effect.
