This year's April Fool's prank is effects-related, but not a pedal: http://www.moogmusic.com/
It's the flash video at the beginning. It's a bit long.
The quotes at the end are pretty funny in the context of the video, too.

If it's a joke, it's a lame one (hint: sustainers already exist). |

If it's a joke, it's a lame one (hint: sustainers already exist). | I should clarify: I'm not saying this is a lame invention, because I suspect the Moog guitar is hexaphonic; that is, each string has its own pickup and sustainer. Regular sustainers have a hard time sustaining chords without one or two notes winning out over the others; the Moog should have no problem with this.
What I meant was that this sustainer guitar, while cool and the only one of its kind, is not very revolutionary, and is totally within the realm of possibility. In other words, this is something that Moog could easily make and that many people would find useful. |

I just hope that the pickups and electronics will be sold without the guitar, for two reasons: 1) The guitar in questions, though I haven't seen the whole if it, seems to be far from my aesthetic cup of tea, and 2) I want to have endless sustain on tap in my Jaguar Bass VI... |

Also, the dampening feature is pretty cool. It might make a bass guitar sound more like an upright. |

It is not hexaphonic, so it may not be quite as good at sustaining 6-note chords as this Moog guitar, but it will certainly be cheaper (and there's a good chance you don't need to sustain 6-note chords on a bass VI).
Also, when is MysticBoo going to come eat his hat in this thread? We've all been made to look silly on the net, man, no need to be too ashamed to admit it...  |

Can't wait to see it for real, it's gonna be cool.
