VERSION 4.02 Beta 1 | February 25, 2026

• NEW! Swedish Metal Drive pedal model based on a Boss™ HM-2 Heavy Metal. The expert Diode Type now also includes the 1S2473 from this model.
• Pitch tracking improvements:
  • Increased high range to ~2500 Hz to allow better tracking of pinch harmonics etc.
  • Improved low frequency shifting for , e.g. bass guitars.
• The Input Gate and Gate block now allow faster Attack times down to 0.1 ms.
  Note: Setting Attack and Release times too fast in any gate can cause distortion.
• Changed default values of Dual Tape type in Delay block to be a bit more musical.
• Improved the performance of tempo from external MIDI clock, which can push-pull during preset changes.

Pitch shifting improvements are nice for synths. Swedish metal is awesome, except I've barely touched a guitar in 18 months

What about the diffusion improvements in the delay block?
