The Aersomith modulation pedal that promises much, but only actually delivers one sound:

“Don’t bore us, get to the chorus”
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

It comes with two Bostonians leaning into your face, yelling at you with Narragansett breath about how Aerosmith is the greatest band to ever come from Boston yah fahkin losah.

Two of them, so it's in stereo.

Wouldn't sell. They'd have to give it away.

Now.

Oh my god, these are both amazing! If we are going with a theme of adult-oriented animation show-themed pedals, how about a looper pedal with a picture of Archer called "Phrasing"?
Why not an Archer Phasor called "Phasing"?

You could do a whole run of Archer themed ones:
A ridiculously powerful clean boost called "Lana!"
A digital delay called "Like the Old Gypsy Woman Said"
A Rat clone called "Woodhouse"
A stereo chorus called "Barry/Other Barry"

I think a loud boost would better be titled, "Mop, mop. Mmmmmop!"

We could get really specific here. The boost pedal could be called "Mop, mop. Mmmmop." with a volume knob labeled "Laaaannnaaaa!" and a gain knob labeled "This is why we can't have nice things" (or vice versa). Damn, now I want to make this pedal. Maybe a DOD 250 clone? Or a dirty boost with a picture of Archer sloppy drunk.

EDIT: The more I think about it, the more perfect Archer as a whole is...
Slow Gear clone with Ray in the wheelchair
Fat boost clone with Pam on it
MIDI controller with Carol/Cheryl/Cherlene called "you're not my supervisor!"

I think we're all forgetting the Dr Krieger bit-crusher. Or should it have Krieger on it but be called the Fisto Roboto?

You could also rebrand the Korg Miku as a Krieger/Mitsuko pedal.

How about a RAT-type named "R.O.U.S." (Rodent Of Unusual Size)?
Pretty sure not one, but two companies have already done that ::)

my first Rat clone was called Capybara because i used some old giant flanger enclosure to house it and had switches for a LOT of mods.
