If you could create any pedal...

What kind of pedal would you create if you made pedals?
For a long time I've wanted someone to make a faux reverse pedal- where I could play a riff and it would sound like it was in reverse, even though I'm playing it normally. I did something like this with the envelope setting on my synth, so that it auto-swelled with every note I hit and then dropped drastically to simulate the beginning of a note in reverse.
What have been your pedal ideas that you wish you could create?

Right now?
Probably a delay with a built-in Green Ringer.

Off to ring mod a delay with an effects loop now because I keep forgetting to do that

A super ZVEX LoFi Loop Junky.
2 (20)s loopers in a box that could be triggered in series or parallel, independently or together.
Dual modulation circuits, phase inversion switches, switchable peak/shelving tone knobs.
And an option to trigger sampled audio via momentary switch, only playing as long as you hold the switch (Judder style)

Pitchfactor with Vortex's morphing and a Timefactor's Looper.

A Pog/PitchFactor hybrid. And a dirt that only had 3 knobs but could sound however I wanted it to depending on my mood. One day Rat, a other day Civil War Muff, one day both stacked, sometimes it would be a Tonebender and somedays it would oscillate. Basically it would do whatever I wanted without too much control.

^^^ Yeah. A pitchshifter with the ability to do complex cordage with no artifacts yet have parameter options to reduce the polyphony so it can get glitchy when/if you want it do.
Basically a Pitchfactor and POG/HOG in one.
Also, a revamped DL-4 with Midi sync/ ability to sync with other DL-4s of that model. Or maybe a dedicated looper but with the same 4 switches with the ability to use either an AUX switch for added features OR control via MIDI for even more feature controls ala Gibson Echoplex - and stuff like on the Timefactor's looper with the loop slicing.
Mandating that all companies that make Loopers either include MIDI as an option or agree upon using a similar syncing method like the new Digitech stuff that way loopers from different companies can play together.
A Hold/Glitch pedal where when a note/chord is captured, the record "capture" switch is actually a 4 way X/Y pad where parameters can be assigned to the different axis so you can manipulate them with your foot. So you could have loop speed on the X and sample rate or bit on the Y and you hold the pad to capture audio, move your foot around and then let go for it to stop. And then have a latch or momentary option.

Doooood why didn't I think of the DL4 thing? Faldoe I think we just became best buds. DL4 is my favorite looper but I wish I could make it completely integrated with the rest of my band so I could seamlessly loop without drifting out of time it would be perfect.
Side note: drunk. I'm not gonna edit the post, but for reference. I'd better get to the drunk/high thread in General.

I want the sound on sound mode from the el cap in a dedicated pedal.

I would like a ring modulator with an amplitude envelope controlled frequency/other parameters.

Parallel fuzz with the option to control the mix between them with an lfo or an envelope.
Imagine starting out with this horrendous Scrambler KLANG and then fading into a super smoothe muff sound with insane sustain as the intensity of the input subsides.

A looper without any bells and whistles, no onboard fx, drum machines, ice cream and lemonade machines, etc. Basically a Headrush without the delays and multiple outputs and shit, with more volume on tap and an expression pedal controlling the volume.
