Wireless pedals that automatically join a network, you use a phone/computer to draw the routing. No more cables.
Seriously, when is this going to happen?

Ok. How about a little AI robot then that will wire it all up for you taking direction directly from your mind . . . .

How about a robot that pats you on the back and tells you everything is going to be ok.

It's only a matter of time before you have whatever the equivalent of Bluetooth turns out to be embedded in your skull and you create all your sounds as you go with your mind.

weedy little pickups through transistors, diodes, valves will only become cooler as those things become more an more esoteric, and wires will always be the best way to hook that shit up!

I’m here mentally - why don’t they invent like a smart charger pad for your pedalboard like they do for cell phones so you don’t have to screw around with AC cables? You could just move the pedals around wherever you want.

slight inconvenience when setting things up > constantly being at the mercy of latency + wireless interference.
i'd like to see future innovations in gear focused around sustainability, tbh.
transitioning to a plugin-like system selling algorithms for open-source multi-fx hubs might sound kind of lame but it would do a lot to reduce material consumption, emissions, scalping etc.

The future is when everything is gone. So it will just be acoustic guitars or the occasional battery powered amp
