Dream custom guitar pedal?

TimmyO

I was thinking about this the other day, and concluded that a dream custom built guitar pedal would need:

1. To be possible to predict how it will sound, to prevent disappointment

2. Be built very robustly

3. Physical layout be as important as circuit

Mine therefore would be:

Dual Overdrive/Boost pedal a la KOT but:

Right side = Prince Of Tone (inc external switch options on the factory POT)

Left side = EP Booster (with DIP options on case rather than on PCB)

Connections on rear face a la KOT, inc power

Foot switches at the lower edge, not half way up the pedal (95% of builders, I'm looking at you...)

Feasible?

What are the things you'd 'fix' in a truly custom build?

Most of the pedals I'm enjoying at the moment are not immediately predictable, which is what I like about them

What I'd fix about some boutique pedals is the look of them, for example the recent talk about a forum Bear***t is of less interest to me because I really don't like the "font"   and would struggle to spend big money on something that looked like that, whereas the Idiotbox Mad Doctor Stutter appeals to me not only because it appears to do something I'm after a pedal to do, but it looks cool too

I dunno, I like having more pedals...dual pedals are nice, I have a couple, but strangely, at least visually, I like having 2...Makes no sense as you need 2 power leads, more space, arguably higher costs but the beauty of it also is that I can move them around easier, mix and match.

So...get a EP Booster and a Prince of Tone

I have both :-)
