We knew that phones, speakers and game consoles were going to be hit by tariffs. Now they’re making it harder and more expensive to get your hands on TTRPGs, retro video games, and vintage cameras too. Lego even announced that it would stop selling individual bricks in the US.


Combining the flexibility of software plugins with the hands-on controls of music hardware rarely works well, if you ask me. But Boss is trying anyway with the $249.99 PX-1, a guitar pedal and app pairing that runs emulations of its classic stompboxes like the DS-1 Distortion and CE-2 Chorus.
