Pedals you'd like to see but nobody makes

I'd like to see Electro Harmonix actually make a Big Muff that doesn't need to be modded to sound great, and also include a Mids control for those of us that don't just play with ourselves in our bedrooms. The Tone wicker muff was a step in the right direction, but a tone bypass switch isn't really as useful as an actual Mids knob.
Also EH needs to stop making all these ****ty Nano pedals, and just go back to making the Huge good sounding pedals they used to make...And do faithful reissues of the "classic" series...A Version 2 Small stone, Small Clone, IC Big Muff, Memory Man, etc...

You need a BMF Effects V2 Aries Fuzz...great classic Big Muff Pi sound, true bypass, mid control in addition to the stock tone control and built like a tank.

I found the one I would have said 2 weeks ago

a year ago I'd have said envelope-controlled phasers, but there's a buncha those, too

How bout a programmable EQ that will let you foot-switch through the presets onboard? Boss came close to making one with the EQ-20, but no foot-switchable presets. You have to mod the thing to get that to happen. I might pick one up someday and mod it myself because I've always wanted a programmable foot-switchable EQ.

I've been tossing around that idea in my head for a number of years; I'd definitely get one if it were quiet and the price were right. Maybe $150 street price? $200? How many foot-accessible presets do you think would be good?

a Seymour Duncan wah! the company winds some great pickups so it only makes sense that they could figure out how to wind a good inductor for a wah in house.

Good idea! A wah from a company that really understands guitar tone and pickup voicings? I'd try it out. Make it rugged and give it enough flexibility for maybe three really great distinct sounds.

I would like to see a digital delay/modulation pedal that could do echo, chorus, flange, delay and phaser sounds. However it would have a LPF/HPF switch and knob to set the frequency range the effect works on. I hate when delay/modulation effects color the midrange and low frequencies.

I think 10 is all anyone would ever need.

I could probably make do with half that many, but it's such a good idea… has any company ever tried it?

Another good one! I hope the guitar-thingie-making companies are watching this forum, because this is the kind of stuff that would get me off my ass and spending money again.

I know rack mounts have tunable delays, but I haven't even looked at anything new in effects in 20 years.

That's because you're too busy scoping out other kinds of racks. :nana:
 
Re: Pedals you'd like to see but nobody makes

I'd like to see a pedal that would wake up Vasshu. But it would have a blue status LED and true-bypass.
 
Re: Pedals you'd like to see but nobody makes

I need neither more pedals nor different ones but I'd develop some "gimme everything for nothing" pedals for the "LOL" generation of trendy-bendy kids around who want to perform live and want to do it quick but don't give a fkk about doing it right. Man they drag down the music quality level faster than techno in the '90s, at least in my area... Okay there are some great lil' musicians around and I've seen good things as well during the time but the general sloppy attitude towards playing music of new kids really makes me sick.


Mythbuster - a real-time auto arranger/sample controller that uses a normal geetar sized Guitar Hero controller (of course bearing some well-known name on the headstock for share, manufactured in China) to create random patterns based on 90GB of pre-recorded samples, everything tuned to low A. Of course comes with auto quantise function and MIDI in for accepting / synchronising with a Mythbuster drumkit. Loopable so jumping during parts is possible to impress chicks.


Perfecto Bastardo - a real-time autotune / auto quantise pedal, no less and no more. Different versions go also for singers and drummers.


Suckotone - a speaker management pedal with auto EQ / multiband compressor for geetarists with selectable tone quality. Comes with a measurement microphone to be placed before the cab. Cabs with mics before look more serious as it was said by an screemo-HC-core-whatver geetarist phenomenon I know some time ago.


Gainbanger - again with a measurement microphone. It adjusts clarity to the required level via automatically decreasing gain and adding mids. Lots.


Pavlov's Dog - a practice unit in a pedal form that accepts MP3 files and has a jack for the geetar and audio output, also phones. It compares the difference between the audio file and playing and causes electric shock between 5-48V depending on the difference. Lars Ulrich signature model that works with Metallica songs only, it causes multiple shocks immediately whenever an illegal torrent download is detected.


Behrinovka - it detects the identifiable particle emissions of a selectable manufacturer's geetar gear in a 20-foot range. If identified, it mutes all sound output until the certain manufacturer's geetar gear is removed, far.


True Bypass emulator - a pedal that emulates true bypass with selectable level of bypassness, using dual DSPs and the highest audio sampling and digital emulating technology. It needs some high-profile endorsing people doin' music for masses for decades who swears that they couldn't be where they are now without true bypass.
