Pedals you wish existed

[01010111]

As always, a small ditto-style looper with midi sync

small size
one knob
three inputs: power, midi, audio
one output: audio
one footswitch

At this point, I feel like I’m just going to make this myself

- cruddy AM radio in pedal format with mix knob

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.

All of this. Plus being able to get to that sweet in-between swirling/staticky AM blur.

A *lot* of early transistor fuzz/boost/overdrive/wah circuits will happily pick up radio when the guitar's volume is rolled back and the gain is rolled up but the absolute worst offender I've had is the coloursound power boost I built from a kit. I put a cap accross the input/ground which helped a lot but without it, that pedal picked up radio really easily. All you'd need is a simple wet/dry blend at the end of the circuit and you're golden

I want a mechanical grinder and joint roller pedal. Lidded and lit compartment for weed, paper goes in one jack, perfect joint w/ tip comes out the other after a couple minutes. Microphone has built-in lighter.

DL4 2.0!
Better delays and smaller footprint.

And not an ugly vaguely art deco sculpture enclosure.

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.

Are you familiar with the Logidy Epsi? It should be able to give you a fairly accurate IR representation of any acoustic space. I have one, and it has definitely surpassed what a lot of other reverbs can do.

I'd like someone to build a dual-channel DSP flange that can do rhythmic, bubbling modulation inspired by the Lovetone ? Flange.

Despite having the Pyramids, MF-108M, Strymon Orbit, CB Spectre, Starlight DLX, and more, nothing I've used can really mimic some of the stuff the Lovetone delivers.

well, not all of them at one...the earth's crust probably wouldn't handle it. no more than two at once. you could have a three-way toggle for each circuit that did off/first in line (right foot switch)/second in line (left foot switch). yeah, it'd be a lot of knobs, but if done right it could be a huge space-saver compared to lining up six separate boxes and their attendant power issues.

At least for the looping, the Tensor plus a midi controller can be a good DL4 replacement.

I’d also really like to see a drive/preamp with an LPG as the tone control, then an envelope follower that can adjust the LPG either super subtly for expressive dynamics or really deep For envelope filter type sounds. It’s probably a simple build, but a little beyond my skill level. I did it with some eurorack modules, but that was very overkill

This is rad, but the max time is about 14 seconds too short.

[D.o.S.]

That pedal comes up every year we have this discussion and the result is always the same: six seconds means no dice.

Also the reverbs doesn't mean anything without the swells of the room yo.

Way Huge Ringworm (I mean “it exists” but not in production) I really like the idea of all those knobs and waveform shapes on a ring mod. I don’t even need it to be from Way Huge because it’s ugly af but hey like that pedal but available and looks cool

Gonkulator with expression pedal option??

A minifooger envelope filter - I feel like they could make the perfect filter - I don’t need a moogerfooger sized one because it’s impractical but I would love to hear their take on a stripped down version in those cool black enclosures. I have the trem and ring mod minis and I love them. I’m also considering picking up a chorus I like those so much.

More Boss FZ-2 clones - Abominable Electronics makes one and I’m debating buying one but I wish there were a glut of clones like with the HM-2 so I’d have more options. The originals go for crazy prices!!

I’ll be back with more things....

There is room for at least two expression jacks in the space where the battery fits.
