What's New?

[Twister22]

Haw anyone come out with a pedal that's really new in the last couple years?

I guess you were studying for exams or something, eh?

Seriously, though, you DO have to wade through a ton of lookalikes and soundalikes, but there ARE new things.  They may not be the sorts of things that come to your/our attention easily, and sometimes they may even be features off the beaten track that are part of a pedal that tries very hard to provide the tried-and-true.

That being said, how many new ways of affecting the tone of a guitar could there be?

I think I found a couple new ones:

There's always something new to do with a guitar!

 Â What is the precise definition of 'new'?
 How old?
 where does a 'twist' of something 'old' become something 'new'?
 I'd have to say there is 'new' stuff being looked into and developed, [as far as 'new' in the most scrutinizing of definition] in digital...
 Here's most of my digital terminology vocabulary...
 Input > A/D > Processing > D/A > Output

"New" depends on how much GAS I have that day.  If I don't have one of them yet, then it's new!

I was leaving out Boss etc, but you're right, those digital pedals are new.  The PH-3 does continuous loop stuff thats new, but the tone is kinda sterile.

Hmm, maindragmusic has the input and output arranged opposite of just about everyone else's pedals. Guess they don't think you would want to use any other pedal together with theirs. Either that or they only make effects for left-handers or you like having your guitar cord cross over in front of you on stage.....

  They're trying to match my clones, all of which follow 'left to right' for input and output jack placement [something I can remember]...the exact opposite of most commercial pedals.

Hmm, we read and write "left to right" so why plug into pedals
"right to left"  .. .. ?
My new Condor/Speaker sat box is wired left to right, makes more sense to me

The way I had it explained to me was pretty simple. Most guitar players are right-handed. The cord from the guitar comes out on the right-hand side. So to prevent the cord having to cross over from your right side to your left side (thus getting in the way of your stomping foot), the input to the guitar pedal is placed on the right side of the pedal.
