No LEDs, LEDs damage your tone.
It also needs bakelite knobs because ordinary plastic knobs don't form a really tight connection with the pots, a key factor in tone suck. Can't use decals that are too thick either, you'll lose sustain and at least half your bypass.

decals that are too large will ruin the transparency.

also, no internals now.

just a plexiglass box on the board that magically alters tone for the better

and since switches can be faulty AND we have here the be-all-end-all-tonez pedal, there's no need for bypasssing. ALWAYS ON!

we could just find a decent setting on the amp other than "TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS ON 11" then they will be amazed at how awesome the pedal is

and, for the demo video, we record an amp off camera with a literal blanket over the speakers, then we plug in the pedal, take the blanket off

Featuring a clean blend. Also it eliminates those subsonic frequencies that hurt your toans.

Every knob slightly changes the parameter that every other knob ostensibly changes. Including gain, volume, etc.
Yes.

Give it a blend knob and label it "depth of transparency"

Enclosures with angles suck tone. This needs to be in a sphere.

Like a softball. Also, scrap the name. Named pedals? Psh, MAJOR tone suck. Esp. on the mids.

Combined with a spiral shape like this:

The spiral contributes to even harmonic distribution and transparency.
