For me there aren’t any particularly great surprises here - although I’m slightly surprised EQD’s Astral Destiny is at #1. I’m also a touch surprised that the Universal Audio UAFX pair did quite so well.
Obviously the EQD Hizumitas and JHS PackRat are very recently released - so they’ve seriously shifted some significant units to be already in the top 10. We must not discount other mainstream brands that have much wider retail distribution - and don’t shift most of their stock via Reverb - while these are always fairly decent relative indicators nonetheless - even though they do need to be taken with a pinch of salt!
Universal Audio's New Uafx Guitar Pedals
Interesting that there are so many sequential pairs - 2 each from EQD, Walrus Audio, Boss, and UAFX. I have half the top 10 - the Hizumitas, Atreides, PackRat, HM-2W and SD-1 40A. And I still intend to get the R1 at some stage - while that’s not a particularly imminent priority.
Controls - Preset, Length, Mode : Abyss / Shimmer / Sub / Sub Shimmer / Astral / Ascend / Descend / Cosmos, Depth, Rate, Tone, Mix.
Kind of interesting that a Shimmer Reverb should get quite that much hype - as that genre is often much-maligned. I really like Shimmer algorithms, while I need my Reverbs to be full stereo. For Spatial Effects like Delay, Reverb and Rotary - I really need those to be rendered in a fully 3D soundstage! Other than all that the Astral Destiny sounds great in mono, and has 8 really cool algorithms - it's evident that quite a lot of people like this! I would have thought the Hizumitas will overtake it by a country mile though in fairly short order...
All About Fender Effects Pedals
Mine has only just recently arrived - and this is straight up there with my favourite Muff pedals - here using 4 x 2N3904 Transistors and what looks like 2 pairs of 1N4148 Silicon Diodes. The tone and texture here is really quite distinct and ends up being quite a bit more versatile than any other 3-knob Muff I know. The High Frequencies are better retained through the taper - and the circuit retains a lot of low-end throughout too. Note also that the Tone control works kind of like a High Cut - in that I have it mostly set at around 9-10 o'c. Sounds magnificent though and well deserved as far as I'm concerned. Will probably get the Wren and Cuff White Elk variety now too!
Controls - Decay, Swell, Mix, Tweak, Program : Spring / Hall / Plate / Big F'ing Reverb / Refract / Air, Tune, Rate | Depth | Pre Delay, A|B|C, Lo | High | X.
I loved the look of this when it was first launched - and it went straight down not the wishlist then. While since I've picked up the more suitable (for me) Neunaber Illumine and AmpliTube X-Space Reverb Worsktations - which have quite a bit more about them. This has a great mix of algorithms for its size - and a really cool and fairly unique Swell knob. I will certainly add this to the collection at some stage.

This was another front-runner for me before the Boss IR-200 materialised - which has rather more about it than both Strymon's Iridium and this ACS1. This pedal obviously has the advantage of size and again like the R1 some smart controls. However it's Marshall voicing is a touch week, and it's IR's are not quite yet on par with Boss's and Strymon's. Much to commend in in most other regards - and still a likely prospect!
There's been so much activity this year that this pedal hasn't really had a proper stint in the chain yet - meaning not a full month rotation so far. I have taken it for a spin a number of times though and this is another likely perennial favourite - sort of filed with the Beetronics Swarm - both can sound amazing, but typically are rather specialist applications versus more typical everyday tones! A lot of fun though - just sheer joy in deployment!
This is a wonderful execution and amazing technical achievement - and to my ears it sounds pretty spot-on too. Lots of amazing varieties onboard - where my current favourite is the slightly punchier and bassier LA Metal voicing! Every Rat fan should have one for sure!
New Fender Guitar Pedals
A long-last and deserved revival of Boss's legendary Swedish Death Metal / Chainsaw / Twin Peaks Distortion pedal. For me an improvement every which way over the original and the new Custom voicing is killer too!
The classic Boss SD-1 in inverted Yellow ON Black colourway enclosure - otherwise identical to the standard Black on Yellow enclosure pedal everyone knows and loves. This is my 3rd SD-1 - where my first was the Keeley Modded edition, and the second was the Waza Craft SD-1W. Very much Boss's Tube Screamer challenger - but with asymmetrical clipping - and slightly smoother than the OD-1 which first inspired the TS808!
There's no doubting the build and output quality of Universal Audio's new UAFX pedals - while several of us were slightly disappointed with the overall format. Just one preset onboard, no MIDI, and relatively few algorithms. So doesn't really appeal to my preferences at all. These sound great for sure - while for me it's always a combination of output, format, features and practicalities - and the UAFX pedals don't quite meet my criteria.

A great sounding Reverb for sure - and with those particular algorithms onboard very much a competitor to Chase Bliss Audio's CXM 1978. As always you can't really fault Universal Audio's algorithms - while just the one preset, no MIDI, and overall lack of certain practicalities means that it's not suitable for my own needs. I much prefer what the CXM 1978 delivers - even with its larger form-factor and somewhat loftier price-tag.
I've always said that all successful brands need at least one bread-and-butter product which maintains that business's cashflow throughout all market conditions.
So we see Keeley's Compressor Plus, TC Electronic's Ditto and Polytune, Boss's DS-1, BD-2, SD-1, TU-3 and GE-7, ProCo's Rat 2, MXR's Carbon Copy, Ibanez's TS9, EQD's Plumes, EHX's Opamp Big Muff, Dunlop's CryBaby Wah, JHS's Morning Glory, and DigiTech's The Drop.
Best New Pedals 2023
The outliers here are for sure the Line 6 HX Stomp, Hologram Microcosm, Strymon Iridium and Keeley Caverns - by price and function (not typical bread-and-butter types really). It's really surprising to see the HX Stomp that far up the list. Same goes for the Hologram Microcosm which has only ever been sold direct - so strange to see that listed quite so high. Probably these totals are a combination of value and units sold as I can't believe that so many Microcosms have been flipped on Reverb.com - for sure several thousand of those have been sold - but all direct!
It's nice to see the TS9 and Plumes one after the other and at almost the exactly same price - original and modern versions of Tubescreamer.
I only own 7 of these - with only the Microcosm on my wishlist - albeit I would have no idea how I would / could accommodate that in the rig without sacrificing a number of slots. Alas Hologram Electronics seem to have that large form factor for everything they do.

Other than some of the relative positions here and the outliers I mentioned - there aren't really any major surprises and it seems evident that Boss is likely still doing the most volume overall.
