There's a few I have. Devi or anyone else can feel free to steal my ideas, given I can't even use a soldering iron I don't think I'll be building pedals any time soon. I would love for some of these to be made.
Here's the first idea I had.
THE POWER LEVEL.
The Power Level is a booster pedal that goes from 0 to just a notch above 9000. Once it gets close to 9000, it begins to break up and crackle.
More coming later when I figure out an easier way of rendering pedal graphics
(I have no idea if either of these are possible, but...)
I have an idea for a fuzz pedal for bass. It would have a clean blend control.....but the clean signal would be low pass filtered (cutoff set by internal trim pot?), so the blend knob would only be mixing in clean LOW frequencies. -or- Similarly, a fuzz with clean blend....but the clean signal would go through a mild overdrive (or a tube?) so that it wasn't sparkly clean.
It seems on some pedals with the clean blend, it *sounds* like two signals instead of one....so I'd like a pedal where the clean blend does its job of introducing some clean-ish low-end, while being discreet about it.

I've been working out how to to exactly that with my Hyperion for a while now.
Except, I wanna take the clean from the dark boost side... but then it needs its own volume control. >.<
I was thinking of using those pots that Dunlop uses on their wahs... the little trimmers on the side. I found them at Mouser, but I have no idea how I'd mount them.

OOOO! Major +1 on that!
Also, it would be cool if there were a way to turn on the overdrive separate from the fuzz, so you'd basically have a full 2-in-1 pedal...

I've considered something similar... Using these for knobs (the wheel part):
That would be awesome to do. I'd love to be in a "Mad scientist" or Gobliny infernal machine influenced band and do something like that.
The problem is of course even big acts are going to be hard pushed to bring something that big along. I mean, they could make room for whole new amp! What might be cool is if you find a lightweight boiler and shove the circuitry in that. Have the input go in at the top somewhere, weld some kind of crazy tap/faucet to it, and have the output come out of that.I would nearly put in a Big Muff, a couple of Devi Circuits, and a Fuzz Face clone, mix them all up together. What would be even more awesome is it you could use the boiler as a reverb tank then(well you could always just put it right next up to your amp).

Does the Team Awesome not fill any of these desires?
I think the TAFM could do this if you were driving your signal with an OD. But other than that it's pretty clean as a blend and causes an almost unusual sounding clean fuzz... Make sense? This isn't based on having one but it is based on what I've heard via crappy YouTube videos.
To achieve this, you could just get a looper with a clean blend, and run your fuzz in the loop, and your OD/ Dirty Boost drivig that.
I had ab idea to create a bypass box with two loops. And use a crossfader(like da DJzzzz) and blend between the two loops. This way you get fuzz and mod or whatever and with the proper rubber tip you could use your foot to fade to each side.
I'm going to try and figure it out... Cause I think I could do some cool things with this. Like do your modulation and build up and slowly start fading to fuzz or whatever... Could be cool for transitions and other things.

There exist a few designs for parallel splitter blend boxes. I'm sure you could just house it in an expression pedal. http://runoffgroove.com/splitter-blend.html is on example. I remember seeing a much simpler way to do it, but can't recall where.
I would love for some of these to be made.
Major +1 on that!
