The knobs on blackout effectors pedals as well as a lot of fuzzhugger pedals would work nicely. Or maybe like the ones on the disaster transport.

push.pull
pulse synth harmonics
phase (un)locked loops
The push.pull pedal is a synth effect based upon the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) IC, in which the PLL has been "unlocked" and let loose through joysticks, switches, and a pushbutton. It is hard to describe the sounds I have already heard: distorted, glitchy, fuzz, bass synth, drone, full of clicks, 8 bit, and erratic synthetic hyperdrive.
4 Non-Return to Center Joysticks
A green LED pushbutton that "unlocks" the pedal, allowing it to spiral out of control.
4 switches:
Capacitor Envelope (Slow, Slower, Bypass)
High/Low Tone Select
Feedback Select (Audio, Voltage, Bypass)
True Bypass
In/Out/Power
Painted in Blurple Colorshift and coated in a thick bar top-type epoxy
Low profile aluminum enclosure
I will add graphics.
Ridiculous. Insane. Brilliant. Wrong. Some adjectives I have heard to sum up musician's first impressions. I am flattered.
Why? Because I love the delicate monstrosity that is precarious noise. I also wanted to make at least an entry into the category of craziest pedal ever. Hope I can be yours.
I will manufacture these. Since I am emerging as a pedal artist, I will do a limited run of these (say about 10) over the next month or two. I am looking for investors and/or a collaborators smarter than me in the area of engineering and electronics, so that the push.pull can be even better. In the meantime, I will post videos and experiment and refine. If you would like one, email me about your interest at either pushpullpedal@gmail.com or coloringpad@gmail.com and I will keep you posted and definitely email you when they are ready.
Price? Not there yet. I'll know more soon.

Looks better in this picture...

The colorshift paint is super nice, but the epoxy is the end all be all.... love it, so easy to use. Here's a couple other epoxy projects:


My only regret is that I didn't put graphics on it beforehand because
1) I wanted to get it done.
2) I have no idea how to do white or silver graphics over paint: anyone know?
The font and style of the graphic will look like this (except white or silver lettering) and their will be some type of compass markings around the joysticks:

Thanks for the compliment!
