获胜者：Blackstar Dept 10 Dual Drive
The Dual Drive might not be as cheap as some of the pedals in this list, but there’s an argument that no other stompbox released in 2021 offers more bang for your buck than this standout from布莱克斯塔尔出色的部门10行。不知何故，双驱动器是踏板放大器，吉他录制接口，超速踏板，虚拟扬声器仿真套件和紧急演出的套件，全部在一个紧凑型盒中 - 听起来很棒。它提供了以前保留给具有四位数价格标签的单位的功能水平，仅出于这个原因，每个人都应该想要一个。
Also nominated:
Greuter Audio Fokus
The Fokus is a hand-wired clean boost which promises 20dB of transparent power coupled with strong EQ capabilities. Boost pedals have been growing in popularity in recent years, and there are plenty of options out there, but when they’re as good as thisSwiss-madeStompbox，总有一个空间。非常高质量和表现力的单位。
Thimble Wasp Space Camp
In a pedal world that’s overflowing with clones and iterations of classic circuit designs, it’s nice to see brands going their own way, and the太空营is certainly that. The pedal combines a two-mode fuzz (standard or octave) with a digital element that can be switched between pure pitch-vibrato and reverb, and the results are truly ingenious. A innocent fuzz box with digital additions that bring all sorts of mayhem.
石聋Qboost
TheQboost的配方具有欺骗性的灵活性：将全范围的助推器/前置放大器与可开关的复古饱和度和单独的频率可调式增强电路相结合。这种调整性在实践中是如此有用，导致踏板与紧凑的音调形成和增益增强的踏板一样通用。
Becos TS8-JZ
A collaboration between the罗马尼亚踏板建造者and Ratt guitarist Jordan Ziff, this is a typically tiny take on the venerable Tube Screamer with a series of bonus controls that enhance the classic TS formula in ways that are both clever and useful.
红牛愤怒的大黄
Redbeard is a collaborative venture between Skindred guitarist Mikey Demus and ThorpyFX supremo Adrian Thorpe, which has borne impressive er, fruit, in the last year or two. An overdrive with three separate gain controls, one of them focused on an adjustable frequency band, the Angry Rhubarb is simple, yet its super-tweakability means it’s about as good as a modern overdrive gets. Deserves to become a classic.
Walrus Audio Polychrome
多染色组模拟鞭打是海象'latest entry into the world of modulation effects, and it’s positively bristling with features inherited from the acclaimed Julia chorus and Lillian phaser. It’s rare we can honestly say that a pedal gives us something we’ve never heard before, but the superb core sounds and a wild array of tonal options make this an inspirational and unique pedal for us to explore.
JHS Legends Of Fuzz Bender
部分Josh Scott’stribute to some iconic but hard to find fuzz tones, the Bender is a tribute to the 1973 Sola Sound Tone Bender MkIII. But far from being a one-trick pony, the Bender is a deceptively versatile pedal. It’s powerful but manageable with the ‘attack’ control maxed out, and every bit as likeable at minimum, giving a surprisingly broad palette of beautifully rich Tone Bender sounds.
Walrus Audio Eras
Described byWalrusas a “no apologies high-gain distortion” the Eras certainly is no shrinking violet, with five selectable clipping modes to tailor your filth to taste, plus a handy blend control to keep the clarity of your clean tone there if you need it. This is a quality noise-bringer with plenty of gain on tap and some interesting tone-tweaking options.
EarthQuaker Devices Astral Destiny
Plenty of digital reverb pedals have one or two options for adding an ethereal upper octave, but这个八模式野兽is a dedicated shimmer machine. Shim-verb might have been around since the 80s, but this might be the first time shimmer has had a whole multi-mode stompbox to itself. That might mean the tonal variety is somewhat limited, but if you want to get spacey and cosmic, this is the pedal for you.
