2017 was a great year for new effects. I had a great opportunity to check out WInter NAMM 2017 and got to see a lot of those pedals making their debut. I’ve been working on making a post about this for a while, but yesterday, I stumbled across a great video showing a nice list of 20 ‘top’ pedals of 2017. I was assembling my personal list, and all of what I had listed were included in this list along with a few other. Check out this video by Dennis Kayzer.
