Really though – I wish pedal companies (mainly one of the handful of bigger ones) would really take notice of non-guitarists using their gear. I feel like 90% of the videos/sound samples given for pedals really only reveal about 1/3 of their potential. Which is a shame. I have really latched onto EHX though in recent years, as they always seem to (possibly by accident) deliver features that can really be taken to extremes. That and their more hands-on/no digital read outs approach to things.
In regards to making pedals more friendly for non-guitarists – simply making as many things stereo in/outas possible would help a TON.
A Stereo Grail is a no brainer, and I’m shocked that within the 4 or 5 (+?) versions of the Grail there is not one that is Stereo In/out!?

Back on subject – the idea of a pedal that is geared toward “glitching/freezing” would be SO coveted by both guitarist and non-guitarists.
If this portion of the circuit on function alone – I can’t see why it shouldn’t become a reality.
Another similar function I wish would appear on an EHX delay is ducking. As with ducking and short repeats you can create really wonderful stuttering delays.
The Freezer – Freeze/Hold Switch, Bypass Switch, High/Low Filter, Pitch Knob (possibly two?), Wet/Dry Knob.
I like the idea of having a wet dry for the Dry/Wet signal and a blend knob for Original Frozen pitch and a user sweepable second pitch. Either this or just two pitch knobs would really take this thing over the top.
And again, not to my taste, but throw a decimator on there and you have a serious (and again probably as expensive as the HOG) pedal.
