    I would like to see a pedal where if it were placed before a pedal such as a fuzz for example could control the amount of power fed towards the pedal; thus producing a dying battery sound. I’m aware that this pedal exists in a few incarnations from various other pedal and electronic manufacturers but I would quite like to see Electro Harmonix making something like this to work along side the Muffs, Clones, Stones, Pogs and Hogs that we all on here can’t get enough of.
    If it were made by Electro Harmonix it would have a bit of flair and charm unlike the frankly sterile products other companies churn out. I can see the circuit being contained within a nano sized enclosure, with one knob, preferably the criminally under-rated white ones as used on the Micro Pog. In true Electro Harmonix style and verve the pedal would have a hilarious and fitting name like the ‘Saggy Ass’ or ‘The Leech’ which I think would fit well with their current line of products, like ‘The Mole’ and ‘Screaming Bird’ pedals. So now, what do you guys think?

    It would need an effects loop, so it wont mess with the chain of pedals

    YES! Dying battery on analog delay! Sounds really cool, but only lasts 5 min. This is a great idea.

    I have that built into my PP2+, but it doesn’t seem to do much of anything interesting to any of my pedals.

    It does! I’m thinking that rubber band sound I get with my Germanium OD gives with the volts turned way on down.

    I have one of these: the DeVolt.

    Works PERFECTLY. You can get some wild sounds out of things, but I mainly use it for turning a germanium fuzz I have into a fuzz-factory-esque velcro thing.

    That things pretty cool. I love that velcro sound the fuzz factory gave…alas I got rid of mine to get the monies together for a gibson melody maker…big mistake.

    I might invest in one of those wee devolt boxes.
    I’d still like Electro Harmonix to make one, that way it would have an on/off switch.
    I could see alot of people buying them.
