GHOST pedal vs 303 shootout with new V4 Firmware Update

"New GHOST Pedal V4 firmware update available now:
https://www.endorphin.es/modules/p/gh...

TB-303 ready: added a more 'squashed / pressed' response so acid lines feel dense and consistent, with better note-to-note stability
cleaner high-gain: reduced hiss and unwanted artifacts at extreme drive settings while keeping the same aggressive maximum gain range.
more musical dynamics: improved touch response and transient control so the drive feels more alive instead of flat
new 'Fairfax'-style, asymmetrical drive character: smoother, more amp-like breakup with a tighter feel and richer mid harmonics
dive more stable at high sample rate (96 kHz): optimized oversampling/filtering for premium distortion quality without CPU spikes.
What type of drive is it? It’s a high-gain soft-clip overdrive / distortion: amp-like saturation at lower settings, and full distortion territory at high drive with smoother harmonics and more sustain.
hall reverb is lusher: denser diffusion + more modulation depth gives a wider, more spacious 'big hall' feel
predelay for all reverbs is smoother: knob adjustments are cleaner with fewer artifacts while turning.
reverse reverb is more polished: improved wet shaping and saturation for smoother, more musical reverse tails.
spring stereo behavior improved: more consistent left/right output and a more natural 'drip' feel.
more stable LRRL and LRLR taps behavior: they pass properly thru the LP/HP tone filter inside the delay tank
creamier resonance: resonance behavior is more musical, with less clipping at extreme resonance sweeps.
comb filtering smoother when tweaking: reduced zipper/crackle when moving controls; more stable, playable comb textures.
delay: 7/4 divider changed to 3/8 (=dotted 1/16), 5/4 divider changed to 2/3 (=triplet 1/4). Meanwhile 3/4 = dotted 1/8, 3/2 = dotted 1/4, 1/3 = 1/8 triplet are working as is
dividers knob action inverted to properly match the scales around the knob
dry and wet properly phase aligned with less chorusing - still any MIX with filters applied may cause phasing effects which are unavoidable
hall reverb is selected after soft reset (to defaults parameters)
fixed an issue where very fast MIDI preset switching by Program change could cause the pedal to freeze."
