I think that's a good catch! Since it appears to be a two-knobber, that likely rules out the Meatbox (collective groan). Maybe the 280 Compressor?

If I'm following which one you're pointing to, I thought DTR said the mystery pedal wasn't actually red.
Curse my company's stringent web filter!!! I can't see it on imgur since that site is blocked

It isn't red.
Wait...are we being coy and the one in the picture is orange?
I know the 280 has alternately been described as orange. And if you compare it to the Digitech red on the Whammy and Drop (also in the pic), it is definitely not that color red. But it could also be vintage. I guess we'll find out in due time.

Same here. Trying to think of DOD pedals which aren't red but could be reissued. Maybe the FX15 Swell? That'd be kinda cool.
Someone post the image up here!!! I just want to know!
Thanks man! Shame I don't need a compressor, but maybe it'll be something else?

I didn't know anything about the 280 so I Googled it and (surprise) wound up on Bongo's page. Apparently there is both a grey/silver(?) and an orange version that existed in the original run. DTR keeps being coy about this, but as I think back to everything he has said, an orange pedal makes total sense. I agree with MightyMiloQuinn that after looking closer and comparing it to the Drop (which I did notice) and Whammy, this new pedal is definitely a different shade, possibly orange.

Indeed. It's always interesting to see the size of pedals in relationship to one another. I always think those amptweaker boxes are much bigger than they actually are, and always imagine the Hardwire boxes to be smaller than they actually are.
I'll be interested to learn bongo's take on the 280 reissue.

+1 on both of those points. I saw a used Amptweaker in a Guitar Center once and I was blown away by how small it was compared to my expectations. On the other hand, I've owned two Hardwires, and they sucker you into thinking they are Boss-sized, but they're bigger than that.
Nice Dwarfcraft Memento hanging out there too. Have yet to find a US retailer with them online.
Digitech made a pedal a couple years back called the EX-7 the space station setting on it alone is worth the cost of the pedal IMO. Unfortunately like some other wah styled pedals it was a bit awkward to turn on and off for me.
