I predict that the Seymour Duncan SFX-1 Pickup Booster ( other SD PB's ) will become a sought after tone machine in the coming future, much like a Klon pedal.
Which pedal or pedals do you think that will become sought after ? ....post'em !!!
The answer to this question lies squarely upon which pedal JHS decides to do a video about next. I'm kinda hoping the DigiTech PDS1550 goes through the roof because the paint isn't too durable and I've got probably one of the last mint ones
It's a dual HM-2 / Tubescreamer clone with a truly parametric EQ. Its worth it for the EQ alone if you ask me.
Any pedal that made a unique effect that most people haven't figured out a use for yet. Someone one day will find a use for it, and then everybody will want one.
With the shift towards modeling I think we will see less hidden gem pedals. If you have an algorithm that gets popular you will simply push it to the newest hardware.
Algorithms don't sound the same as devices in all cases. I've kept an ADA S1000 rack delay for 40 years because I've never found another effect, hardware or digital, that can do the deep 2-octave sweep this thing does and sound just like it.
I find that the functionality of a pedal doesn't have much to do with its value. Usually it has to do with who is currently using it, or what influencer made a video about it.
I don't get why Harmonic Percolator clones aren't in more demand. The easiest way to describe their sound is if you made a Fuzz Face entirely out of tubes. They are high enough gain to turn your signal into a single sound, but they have enough definition to play complex chords and still hear every note. They clean up like an amp as well.
