Best Guitar Pedals of 2016 according to Gearphoria

$349 - a smaller than the average, stereo take on the do-it-all digital delay. Midi integrated, it features 12 modes, including some original ones like Helix and Diffuse, but also classics inspired by the Roland Space Echo and other analog devices. The smaller footprint still crams 6 knobs for hands-on parameter control and two footswitches for Tap Tempo, Freeze effect, and the navigation of the 4 presets, while deeper editing can be done via the free Neuro app.

$1,200 - A "real-tape" echo pedal with an easily replaceable cartridge that replicates the sound of the vintage tape echo units but surpasses them in features through tap tempo functionality, two playback heads and three output modes, chorus mode, two expression pedal inputs for delay time and feedback. 

100% analog signal path controlled by a digital brain, it packs the unimaginable in a compact case: tap tempo, MIDI connectivity, presets (2 via footswitches and 100+ through MIDI), modulation controls (shape, rate, depth, and shape), wet/dry knob, a hold function to add self-oscillation and 16 DIP switches on the back panel for extra tweaks.
