What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

Maybe a wah shaped pedal that shifts from flanger to phaser
With the pedal controlling the sweep of the effect

Maybe even work in some sort of a twin diode stage that could be placed either in front of, or after the tube gain stages. Or even allow an option for it to be all ss. You could even allow the eq to be footswitched in and out, or dedicated to either the whole tone circuit or just the boost channel.

How about a TTM with a pregain preamp like on the theta so you can make it as taught or as fuzzy as you like?
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

Ok, I'm not very knowledgeable on this. But I was wondering if there is any pedal available that sort of improves the clean in your amp. I know about spark boost and pickup boost and compression etc. But to be specific about what I have in mind, I want this: a pedal that will create a Twin Reverb type of clean sound. For instance I have a 35 watt Orange, 8" speaker. It has very neutral kind of clean and the eqs are good enough to add just enough brightness. I would like a pedal that I can connect and get a deluxe/twin reverb kind of clean. Is there any product like that in the market? I don't think so. I think this has great market potential too.

Basically an eq is as close as you'll get. Every amp is different and needs different things
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

I would love to see a Wah/Volume pedal combination. Morley seems to have that market cornered but I don't care for their wah sound.
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

Regular guitar effects are kinda played out. Everyone and their brother has made a dozen variations of fuzz, OD, distortion, delay, phasing, tremolo, wah, flanging/chorus. There have to be at least sixty different ring modulators out there at the moment . . .

It would be awesome to see SD offer something that fewer companies are working on. Something like this: http://digitech.com/en/products/trio combined with a looper function would be pretty awesome.
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

How about a bit fuzz? A pickup booster with a short delay would be cool! I'd like to see you guys tackle a synth pedal as well..
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

If SD made a bigger version of the Deja Vu with a few more delay "flavors" and the ability to store and recall 3 or 4 presets I'd buy it. I love my Deja Vu, I just feel like I need 2 or 3 of them in line! haha.

Call it the Deja VuDu.

A phaser with an expression output. Or a Vapor Trail with tap tempo and an expression output.

Do you mean expression input?
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

No dammit, we want to hear the pedal express itself!
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

Something like an ABY or Tripler Pedal to run anywhere from two to three (or even four...lol) amps at the same time or in "any combination" with each other. Maybe even having some type of volume/boost/cut on each channel. That is, if that could be done. I'm no electronics guy. So I don't know.

A tricked out Vapor Trail would be cool. Tap tempo, stereo in and out, and all that. I'm a sucker for a nice chorus, even for so if it had the same treatment as that Vapor Trail iteration I just mentioned. I can't think of a chorus on the market right now with tap tempo.
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

So combine the 805 with the pickup booster? Sounds good to me...
Disclaimer: I'm just getting back to this thread now, so I'm going to have a handful of responses in a row. Sorry about that.

Believe it or not, I reported these same findings. The Pickup Booster > 805 combo is something I've already said should be sold as a set. So well do they work together. The 805 has massive headroom, and can take a boost to the face like no other OD pedal I know.
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

If that were a pedal on store shelves right now, I would buy one on the way home from work today. (If it were over $200, I'd wait until next month.)

Or maybe some sort of expression pedal that acts as a crossfader than can blend any two effects you want? That would be sweet. I bet as long as you set the preamp for unity gain across the travel and do the loops right you could do that.

A phaser with an expression output. Or a Vapor Trail with tap tempo and an expression output.
I know it's not everything that you asked for, but I need to mention that the Vapor Trail already has an expression pedal control.

That's a cool idea. Sort of an ABY that blends two different input sources with a treadle, and maybe a volume knob next to each input so you can level them out.
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

Honestly, I'd like to see Seymour sit down with Kevin Beller, the engineer, and pull an original design out of their own minds, rather than try and make another version of something already done a zillion times.

Every once in awhile, this happens. Some guys in Sepulveda Ca, messing with a pot circuit, called their organ pedal a Crybaby Wah. Digitech came up with the Whammy Pedal. Supposedly, Les Paul came up with the flanger/phaser idea running tape heads out of phase.

That's what I'd like to see from Seymour Duncan. I was a beta tester for the first batch of pedals, so I know what they were going for, but I'd like to see something cool and original, possibly based around a wah platform, utilizing different frequencies, as if you're switching through every pickup in the sweep of a wah. That's my idea.
 
Re: What Seymour Duncan pedal would you like to see next?

Nothing mind blowing, but a small volume pedal would be handy. If it could double as an expression pedal too that would be good. Also an eq.
