Pedals that need to come back

After not seeing anything from them in ages, DOD seems to be back from the dead? That made me wonder, what pedals (lines or individual) would you like to see come back?
For me, I'd like to see the Ibanez line come back. I have had a few 9 and 10 that I liked, and I still use my TS-7 from time to time. (I know, Maxon still produces 9 series...). I also rather liked the FC-10 Fat Cat distortion.
I was also surprised that after the success of "Get Lucky" that Digitech didn't re-release their talkbox/vocoder effect whose name I can't remember.

Not too much though. I used to have a Small Stone from 1982 where you could still hear the whoosh with the pedal disengaged.

Here's the one I was talking about:

FWIW, I so far prefer DOD originals to reissues. Hopefully some of the reissues, or indeed new pedals(?) are decent though. Legendary company ... or used to be. Either way.

For me it's wah-pedals that doesn't sound right these days. No noise, everything under control.
Last one EHX Cockfight - clinical, not dirty at all. And the fuzz on, sounds all diode clipping not useful for anything. I thought I'd use to emulate wind for a video - but silent.
Had a Boss PW-10 - wah stuff boring, even having multiple emulations, best is probably some stomp box dist emulations.
I saved Digitech RP100 just for the boutique wah - pretty good still being digital and all. With a tube amp I like it.

Isn't DOD part of Digitech, whose whole staff was sacked by Samsung when they acquired Harman?
New product development seems unlikely.
Regarding Ibanez: do you know Maxon? IIRC they were the ones who designed the old Ibanez range.

Yes, but Maxon does much smaller runs which means that they tend to be a lot more expensive than the equivalent Ibanez branded pedals. Furthermore, they are often out of or not producing many individual pedals.

I so far prefer DOD originals to reissues.
I agree. They look right cosmetically, but I've A/B'd several reissues against the
originals and, IMHO, they didn't stack up. Having an LED is nice but if the the tone's
not there who give's a rat's patoot?
Samsung bought Harman and shut down DOD/Digi?? Oh that f#cking blows. There's a lot of other great brands/products that were already sucked up by Harmon that will likely suffer or cease to exist under Samsung. SH#T.
By the way.....the Talker wasn't really a wholly Digi product. Like all of their pitch shifting products the tech was mainly developed by Canada's IVL.

Now I'd gladly buy proper re-issues of the original Roland stomp's. Especially this bad boy:

Still kicking myself for not jumping on that when it was available.

I do like my Voodoo Wahzoo though it's fun!
