Can't wait till new EHX Super Ego+ be available...

I saw that, but you still have to select the effect manually right? And what if you want two presets on one effect? Can it do that? I need to research it more.

EHX.com | Superego+ - Instructions | Electro-Harmonix

You can have two presets per effect and sweep between them, but can't switch the effect itself without using the knob. If you got good with it, you could probably quickly switch between effects using your foot and the knob, but it wouldn't be ideal.

So it can work, but not nearly with the amount of control of the HOG2 footswitch or midi controller. However, with the effects loop built in you will get a different kind of versatility than the HOG2.

That is the only downside to the EHX pedals, lack of on-the-fly switchability.
I really like what EHX is doing especially with the "9" series and their pitch/filter pedals but having to manually switch and adjust settings makes using them live difficult. This is IMO a serious flaw with the "9" pedals implementation, basically synth modules without switchable presets/scenes.
