Pedals you wish existed

[VREEEEVROOOOOW]

Danelectro Fab Tone with delay+reverb (like the BOSS RVs setting) where you can turn off the distortion but have the delay+reverb lingering -- & proper build quality for the casing while we're at it.
Just BOSS PS-3's mode 7 as a pedal.
A pink really misogynistic novelty distortion pedal that doesn't even sound good at all for owning teh libtard snowflake cucks lulz.

Probably others.

Boss PS-500.

[UglyCasanova]

A Vigeland mausoleum pedal. No knobs. Not even a bypass switch. Just that amazing reverb all the time. Yes.

Or a real version of the photoshopped Strymon pitch pedal from a bunch of years ago

Oh and I would have loved to see a version of the Digitech Ricochet with all the harmony side options.

You know, it's really funny you started this thread because I was having this exact thought the other day but in a different way. There are so many options now, that there is an enormous amount of overlap in the pedal world. I could buy 3 dirt pedals from 3 different people and they all sound different but I still only need one to suit my needs. lol.

It seems like almost everything that can be done, has been done. We have glitch pedals to the max now, any flavor of delay I can imagine, reverbs up the wazoo with all kind of options beyond what you'd ever need, fuzzes everywhere you look...etc. I think the most undermade pedals are ring mods but I could be wrong there.

So, what effect doesn't exist that you would like or need? That's what I was thinking. It seems like all things are variations of similar ideas.

However, being the gear whore I am and wanting to own everything, I still would totally buy 90% of it no matter what. haha

So, personally, there is nothing I wish existed really. I'm kind of set, but I would like to try a lot of stuff just for fun.

This is a clever thought process and idea. I like that you thought of that. How would you go about doing that I wonder? Emulating the sound inside of the mausoleum. There seems like there'd be a scientific way but would a pedal marker be able to do it? These are open ended questions btw.

Parallax! Sure, that too.

Would love to see Lexicon Vortex in pedal format too.

You can do it with a VST (plenty of convolution data for the mausoleum online), but there's not enough processing power available in any run-of-the-mill pedal platform to deal with the complexity of the reverb in real time (without having major predelay, which the mausoleum does not have). Maybe as a rack module, but that's lame. This is me paraphrasing Pladask/DRod discussing the possibility of making such a pedal.

This was the first Moog april fools pedal I think and I wanted it to be real so desperately bad. I was playing in a half tech metal/half post rock band at the time and it would have been perfect for atmosphere.

[dubkitty]

a one-box pedal--it'd have to be the size of a larger E-H box--that contained the following simple vintage fuzz circuits: silicon and germanium Fuzz Face, v.1 and 2 Tone Bender, Buzzaround, Shin-Ei Companion. they're tiny boards, so there's no reason not to double them up. ideally there'd be an on/off toggle for each circuit so you could cascade one circuit into another.

Samesies. My basement/my laziness hooks me up with this for free: ground loops. Plug everything into the same power strip, add lights (bonus for fluorescent), some old wall warts and you’ve got all the AM you can handle. To your point- mix knob to dial this down/up as needed would be awesome. So maybe just a poorly insulated/grounded boost??

Unless you meant just the static, in which case the rochambeau brick might be your sauce.

Wait is that a 14 or 28 knob pedal? You mention doubling them all up at the end...

A big part of the appeal of having a proper receiver would be dialing in different stations. A pedal that works as an antenna usually just picks up a single channel with no means of selecting which one. A cool design might even have the sweep up and down the frequencies be LFO or voltage controlled. Might be interesting to have a S&H control voltage stepping through all the channels on a digital tuner.
