It's all good broham, cab's come first!!! I'll have em listed on here for about a week before i throw em to the bay, so you got some time to look into your 18.

I certainlly thing a strymon style dirt box would be good but i am not sure how easy it is to emulate that well. Most likely one of the reasons no one has ever cut something. Not that it shouldnt be attempted but it sure isnt easy and the first attempts at it usually suck.

People want versatility in their effects as well as deep editing powers to really dial in tones. As digital effects gain more acceptance, digital dirt is still a long ways off. So here's my idea...I'm not an electronics guy so if this doesn't exist, then by all means, I hope someone with technical skill takes it and can do something with it.
What if you had a pedal that internally had digital processors as well as banks of many various Si and Ge transistors of all different types (even 4558's) so that you could more accurately model (as well as creating new designs) different dirt pedals and then run that digitally powered processing through actual transistors so it still had the real feel and tones of analog pedals while still being able to save presets. I know this would have to be an expensive pedal and fairly large but with the popularity of Strymon and Eventide pedals I think people would be willing to spend $500+ on a large pedal that cold replace their muff, fuzz face, D*A*M's as well as creating a few unique tones. Through in pre-post routing for wah pedal guys and deep, digital editing and routing options through phone/tablet apps and maybe let users download patches from each other and I think it would be a hit.
So, is there anything like this already out there, maybe on a small scale? If not, what do you think of the idea and who would you like to see build it? I think a collaboration of Strymon and D*A*M would be awesome....Nick, perhaps you'd want to tackle this?
It's possible, but as Nick said it's a huge undertaking. Strymon may in fact be already working on it. Now, I'm not saying they are or that I've heard it, but it's quite possible considering what they've already produced and their rapid and constant succession of new designs.
The only dirt pedal I know of that does even remotely what you're talking about is the Empress Multidrive. You can select different 'presets' (it's not digitally controlled) using dip switches located on the PCB. It allows for a variety of different tone combinations at the stomp of a switch. When you want to swap things up, you can mess with the combination of circuits, or just have them all at once. It's nowhere near what you're referring to, but it's a relatively close (but analog) example. Killer pedal, too.

That's exactly what I said as well.

I'm putting a few pedals on the chopping block to help offset the cost. I've got a black on black BOE Mantra and a black on green EA Supercollider v2 i'm gonna give dibs to the doom room on. 106$ each shipped in the con-us, and I'll post pics tonight. Get at me if your interested.
Damn, want. Will consider.

Once you get off work this might also be interesting. Someone posted it in the lolcats thread.

I like kitties n titties as well. Great tumblr. Though it is strange when when you get an erection from one picture and then suddenly greeted with kitten jumping in the air. It always makes me laugh. Then the boner disappears. Then comes back again. It's a boner inducing and reducing process.
Also, whoever posted this band:
http://uzala.bandcamp.com/album/uzalaI like it.

Thank you for those! I love having a smart phone at work
That tumblr is niiiiiice..... hahaha I started a thread about these kinds of things a few weeks ago, and it seemed to weird everyone out

it would be kool if a digital pedal like a dirt timeline could emulate all of the aspects of pedals from say the input impedance loading of a fuzzface to the dying battery effect on fuzz pedals along with covering say a wide range of different muff specs, rat specs, ect ect. Strymon is really the company to do it, they sort of own that kind of area. I think distortion tho is probably one of the hardest things to do digitally.
However Axe FX already kind of does that in their designs. That setup is not a bad thing if your into chugga chugga metal and want that sound

And to be honest, I'd rather companies focused more on true tube pedals. It's a totally untapped market, while digital dirt just doesn't seem to be as demanded as digital delay and modulation. And besides, no one wants to have five or six delay pedals and a bunch of modulation units when they can have one or two that do the job. But they DO like having multiple dirt pedals. It's more fun that way.

I could also see TC Electronics exploring it as well, especially with Tone Print

Yeah, Tone Print dirt pedals might be on the far horizon for them as well. I can imagine them talking it over while drinking coffee in the break room.
