The muffin and zipper, however, are tube pedals, so they can't shrink down that small. You need room for the tubes, and also room to let the heat dissipate.
I really, really hope EHX doesn't try to make nano versions of those pedals that use SS emulation of the tube circuitry. I don't think they would, but I just want to go on record saying that it would probably suck. |

The Frequency Analyzer, possibly; it'd be easy to do. The tube pedals, most likely not; Speak_Onion hit the nail on the head for that one.
And if they did, it would likely be digital, not analog SS. But I'm doubting they'll even consider the conversion anyway; it's easier to keep the tube pedals as-is.

Hmm... I'm tempted. | why? i don't even get why people would want that thing? it changes a strat to a Lp and a LP to a Tele. Big deal man? what's it going to do on bass turn a Jazz into a stingray and a stingray into a ken smith?
im sorry if that sounds mean, but that pedal makes no sense to me. also i've had to much cake, the sugar is getting to me.  |

The Holy Stain has analog overdrive, analog fuzz, digital pitch shifting, digital tremolo, and two different kinds of digital reverb. You can combine distortion with one of the modulation effects, or just use those modulation effects clean. It also has an expression pedal input... I'm not sure what it controls.
It's a really bizarre pedal, and I'd love to try it.
Getting to the Knockout... I think the advertising gimmick is stupid. It's really like a weird "equalizer" for shaping the low and high end, which I think could be pretty cool in some situations. I'm not sure why they advertise it as a Strat-to-Tele and Gibson-to-Strat changer

The Holy Stain might be fun to play around with. But my next pedal purchase is the Mini POG.

Give them a chance! EHX's digital stuff is surprisingly good. They aren't Digitech or Line 6.
