    Would like to see a piano pedal since you are having success with keyboard pedals for guitar. Acoustic type keyboards such as pianos harpsichords :coolsmile:electric pianos clavinet.

    Would be cool, but I think organ is a relatively easy one compared to those! Its quite a simple sound of stacked sine waves, whereas the string keyboards have really complicated attack.
    Though some guitars like jazzmasters can already sound very piano or rhodes-like, so maybe not so hard?

    I think some freeze pedal that did piano sustain is cool though.

    One trick that gets a rhodes sound (on some guitars) is picking 12 frets over the fretted note, or sometimes doing tapped harmonics. Others just get that sound with the tone knob rolled off through compression.

    I am interested in this too. From my relatively amateur standpoint, I understand each piano note to have 3 strings – a central string plus 2 neighbor strings slightly de-tuned up and down respectively. Would it not be possible to build a pedal that maybe drops a guitar note by an octave and then duplicates the signal twice, adding pitch shifting (up and down respectively) plus maybe a little reverb to emulate the piano? Perhaps this would not be feasible for chords, but to play simple melodic leads?
