Suggest a pedal to go with what will be knobs one day

Given the number of my as yet unstarted PCBs and also uncompleted (at least as far as final decorations) pedal projects, it's the height of absurdity for me to ask for new pedal project suggestions. But, in the spirit of the forum, it's obviously my DUTY to ask this.

I was in a foul mood two evenings ago; the newly leaking bathroom faucet ended up taking the better part of my day online, visiting friendly plumbing supply houses, etc., only to eventually decide that it was worth just buying a new one (and I help run Fix-It Clinics, to educate people about how much better is is to fix something you have rather than just send it to the landfill...) So, not wanting to throw it all out, I can't help but envision these as the tops of some (probably turned acrylic?) knobs. Obviously, to me, something like volume (cold) and fuzz, or gain, or? for hot. And they're even relic'ed!!

So, what ya got?

As for those beautiful HOT and COLD (potential) knobs, you could build a Klon with separate gain knobs - use Cold for the boost and Hot for the dirt. The tone and level knobs could be simple chicken heads or something.

Or you could do something similar with a 4-knob OD - use Cold for Bass, Hot for Treble and use chickenheads for Gain and Level.

They'd also work on something like a Golden Falk, where Hot would be the Treble channel gain and Cold the Bass channel gain.

Id be tempted to use them on my favourite two-knob pedal, the Red Rooster.

Wow! So Visual sound pedals are still being made, and by a company that has RG Keen as their engineer! Wild! A whole new site to kill an evening over!

I was also surprised to see VIsual Sound is still around making pedals. I remember visual sound, crowther, and snarling dogs as some of first boutique pedals from music catalogs when I was younger. I still want a snarling dogs wah one day hahaha. I could never understand why Crowther called their pedal "Hot Cake".
