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.

The 2560 x 720 Corsair Xeneon Edge also comes with a desktop stand, has a standard 1/4-inch thread mount, plus magnets in the back for sticking it to various metal surfaces. Unfortunately for gamers demanding more flash, the first run of the $249.99 touchscreen has already sold out.
