Last time I looked ngspice was the same code base as the others, so
I assume no difference.

That would be true except for one factor, the input signal that Robin
is trying to simulate is analogue. In addition, the Foxx fuzzbox that
Robin is trying to simulate is a non-linear device.

The problems you get when doing a discrete time simulation of non-linear
processes are mitigated as the sample rate is increased. Therefore, the
higher the sample rate the better.
