Maestro 2022

Best thing would be not to compare to vintage units

There's almost no comparison to be made... the FZ-M seems like the only one that nods in the general direction of the OGs, the rest look like generic "we made a line of pedals to maybe snake some sales off Boss and will pay to have them strategically placed in Guitar Center". It's a pointless money-grab but whatever, corporations gonna corporate.

i dont understand how you could "relaunch" maestro and abandon the original/oberheim designs entirely. the world does not need another delay or overdrive, it needs a brassmaster reissue in a board friendly form that continues the incredible design legacy of the original series. it needs the three switch phaser in a pedal that isnt the size of a 2003 laptop. it needs the sample&hold pedal in a form thats not $1200.

At least the Fuzz-Tone t-shirt is ok.

At least the lights look cool.

So they rebranded a bunch of generic JOYO pedals with some blinkenlights?

“That’s not all, though: Gibson has announced a second batch of five pedals will join the burgeoning Master Original Collection later this year, with a Maestro Custom Shop Collection – made up of ultra-limited pedals built to the precise specs of the originals – also currently in the works.”

Well, the original specs weren't that good to start with.
