Another year, another dazzling parade of pedals, guitars, amps, modelers, and accessories that made our noggins spin.
TWA Hot Saké
The TWA Hot Saké delivers tons of tone-shaping power for its size and price. From luxuriantly transparent boosts that rival some of the best Klon clones (thanks to the fantastically tunable EQ) to woofy grind when you max the drive and rein in the mids and tone, Hot Saké offers exceptional flexibility for a small, straightforward, and reasonably priced stomp.

Dig in and dig it as we revisit the gear that fired the enthusiasm and wonder of our editors and contributors in 2017.
