    How about a pedal that makes noise. White/pink/blue noise. Then make it track pitchwise. Now you can do noise washes with volume swells into delays and verb.
    And you could dry/wet mix with a distorted tone and stack the noise voice like a synth.
    Maybe a sensitivity knob to detect some signal. Set just right you could get intermittent crackling like vinyl or a radio for some lo-fi stuff.
    Cool. Send me a t shirt. Fat XL. Put me on the payroll. Thanks.
    Love the attack-decay,Q-tron, DMM, big muff…

    There is already the EHX Crash Pad. But that doesn’t track pitch. Pitch tracking is very hard to do well – I can’t think of anyone who has done this well. Pitch to midi is probably better – and that could then control any synth. I have a Sonnus G2M that does this. If EHX could make a box that tracks pitch it would be a shame to limit it to just noise. May as well have a full fledged mono synth – like a Pigronix Mothership. But frankly – I don’t think they track well enough for most musical purposes.
