Waza Craft ideas?

[soundsupport1]

Yo peeps,
so I guess by now we're all familiar with the waza craft line of pedals from boss, resurrecting famous-ish pedals from the company's history at a more premium build quality and price point.
Just for fun, what pedal would you like to see in the range?
I'll start: I'd love to see the return of the parametric EQ in the boss pedal format. They did do one briefly, and I for one would buy it.

What are your ideas?

Peace, SoundSupport

Acoustic simulator, with a bass mode for fretless/upright simulation.

Probably an OC-2 reissue but honestly I think the entire line is just a cash grab. I highly doubt there is any difference in build quality. I mean, have you ever broken a standard Boss pedal?

GREAT idea! The ME10B multi effect had a 'defretter' setting that wasn't too bad, so they've gone down that road before.

Any other thoughts?
A waza craft ph-1 phaser would be good, too!
Peace, SoundSupport

Waza pedals come in two lineages

1. Rarities that sell for $300+ on the used market and were from the very early years of production. Also pedals that were simplified versions of a fancier rack unit Roland made that they can fold into a new pedal.
2. Pedals that have a very strong modding culture where Boss can poach the popular mods and make the pedal come with them stock.

They've covered most of these bases already with what they've put out. I think they're more likely to update some long overdue compacts like the Tremolo or Flanger which haven't seen new versions in a couple decades.

I'm not really interested in the Waza re-treads. I'm much more interested in what they do with the 200 line. While an LS-2w would be interesting, an LS-200 would address the changing market.

I'm also interested to see if the GT-1/B gets an upgrade and if there's ever a Katana bass amp.

I have the DM 2w analog delay. Was using it for bass but felt it was too dark sounding for me. Switched to a digital delay. Sounds great on guitar though.

I had this exact thought about two days ago..

Series cascading of loops A&B in either direction would be the bees knees... And spread out those crowded as side jacks, please!!!

Question for someone who has both waza and standard versions of the same pedal(s).

Do you notice a big improvement in the Waza version(s)? Just curious.

I'd show up for an updated tremelo/pan, slicer and a waza hyper fuzz. At their current price points they would likely be the same price or cheaper than current used offerings.

Slicer hadn't occurred to me, but good call!

In a similar vein, the old rotary effect in a compact pedal (maybe with a link to an expression pedal, like the aw3 and the ph3 have?) Would be pretty sweet.

It would be nice to see a compact trem pedal with a jack for an external tap tempo. Sounds like that would be in the Waza wheelhouse

I'd bet they could sell every CE-1 (their first chorus, the old gray tank) they could build.

The CE-2W has a switch for CE-1 mode. I don't have any experience with the actual CE-1 but the Waza update sounds pretty great.

Yup, gimme the three knobs from the 1r give me the 12 stage from the 2, give me the step settings from the 3
