Poly Effects KANSO

The Poly Effects KANSO was my pedal pick for Best in Show because it’s just pure outside-the-box genius. It lives in that overdrive/boost/fuzz/distortion-ish world, but the control scheme (button/knob/light, double-tap changes, etc.) is classic Poly Effects in the best way.

Pros

+Super creative control design that encourages experimentation
+Covers a wide range of gain flavors (boost/OD/fuzz/distortion territory)

Cons

-Learning curve if you prefer traditional knob-per-function pedals
