If Alembic made a stomp box, what would it do?

[mario_farufyno]

I would like to see a versatile Fuzz (most of the classic stomps are one trick pony and don't get too well working along with active instruments) and a FX1 inspired bass friendly tube boost/drive, like having some sort of switchable extra gain stages. It would be great if Ron could figure out a lossless volume pedal, the ones I got the chance to try were all tone killers at some degree.

Well, I could also use some sort of guitar attenuator to help me hearing the drummer.

* yes, I'm bassist and this is a joke... (sort of)

No, I know exactly what could be very useful and also haven't seen anyone do it yet, a parallel effect send/return pedal. Imagine using a volume pedal chassis to provide a foot controled wet/dry adjustable fx mix. Great for compression and essencial with reverb and delays. Could be even better yet with a switch to toggle the pedal between send or return mode.

I would order one of those also!

A combination of  Stratobaster , SF-2 and and a DI box with parallel mult/ splitter circuits at the output stage .
At the input stage a selectable option of both  a power supply 5 PIN and a standard 1/4" TS  input jack. There would be a stereo /mono option switch as well . On the top of the unit would be the  various foot switch's  that can be programmed in the inside of the unit with a panel of DIP switches for function options .

An IN-2 with an SF-2 can cover most of that functionality, along with some additional switching. Albeit, in a rack.

Edwin , I own  two each of the Alembic Rack devices that you mention and because of such
 I feel blessed , by my GAS  . Indeed !   As a " Stomp Box " version of such functionality   one could make it a delightful addition to a pedal board array as I enter another dimension of my mutating and evolving  GAS  and the thoughts and ideas spark and bubble in anticipation of the possibilities that could be made a reality .
