Pedals that don't exist but you wish they did

Electro Harmonix Horn9. I have a Mel9 and it's great. The other -9 pedals I've played are also good. I want the Memphis horns in a pedal.

Tape jam machine. Not a delay, just a pedal with a momentary footswitch that when held, sounds like a jammed cassette deck. Speeds up and/or slows down the signal unpredictably with a full wet output. Give me those jamming distorted scribbly sounds of my childhood on demand! Guitar and line level so I can use it on my board or as a studio effect.

What pedals or effects don't exist that you wish they did?

Could you deal with some latency? You might be able to make that happen with an 2399.

Isn't this the basic premise behind the clari(not)? Both @Bricksnbeatles and I have worked with that circuit. You could have the DEPTH, TIME, or both determined by an LED/LDR with a pseudorandom driver. With a dry cut, you have unpredictable variable speed on the full wet output.

I thought that it was, but none of the demos I've seen seem to do what I'd think it would. It's definitely in my queue though

Yup- or at least that’s what I get out of it.

I’ll throw together a demo track sometime this weekend showcasing that functionality. That’s like 90% of what I use it for personally— especially like setting it for 100% wet and then setting the base delay time to a 1/4 note in what I’m playing, and then I just play everything a beat early so it comes on the beat I want it to. Really weird experience to deliberately play with a big latency, but it yields really cool results that I otherwise wouldn’t have thought of. If I have a through-composed part I want that same 100% wet effect on, sometimes I’ll set it for a maximum delay time, and just reamp thru the pedal and then realign it to the grid to get metronomic accuracy with a really dramatic effect
 
I want a digital pedal that doesn't emulate a specific pedal per se. Instead, I want one that emulates the different parts of a circuit: different diodes, op-amps, transistors, etc. The idea is that you could use software to essentially construct your own "circuit" and set various parameters on each of the components to get a desired result. Call it a Guitar Pedal Construction Kit or the like.

Aren't those called breadboards
