Digital Igloo (Eric Klein, YGG)

Put them on in their on category of effects and call it “we all have an inner Berhinger”
Most of the time I actually prefer it when Line 6 takes an idea and makes their own version as opposed to exact copies. I think their poly capo is better than every other pedal lve tried.
 
In all seriousness, they could as well officially team up with EHX. Just as they do with, say, Grammatico.
they usually do just fine by doing what Mr. platypi says - copying somebody else and giving a Line6 tweak to it.

Teaming up with EHX is a head scratcher - these are digital effects, not digital models of a big, loud, tube amp. And Line 6 makes small versions of their stuff.
 
And fwiw, while I'm no market researcher at all, it'd possibly be a win-win thing. I mean, the folks slapping together elaborated pedal boards using EHX stuff possibly aren't too interested in any all-in-one unit. The same likely is true vice versa. So there'd be no cannibalization.

Gross. Yeah, get outta here with that nonsense. We already covered that in this very thread:
It can get pretty slippery. On one extreme, your grandma might have a Yamaha digital piano containing multisamples of a Yamaha grand. Right next to it might be your other grandma's Casio digital piano containing multisamples of a Yamaha grand.

At the faaaar other extreme, you walk by this atrocity at NAMM 2004, for which they got sued for blatant trade dress violations and were forced to change their chassis shape, colors, logos, and fonts:

Where is amp modeling in all of this? Dunno, but the public generally seems to think it's much closer to the digital piano side of things. Those who don't are almost always trolls trying to ruffle feathers on gear forums.
Besides, we all know who the B€#®!n&€® of high end modeler companies is (that is, until B€#®!n&€®/"TC Electronic" itself enters the fray).

Back on topic, products with tubes, op amps, transformers, capacitors, resistors, etc. can be "modeled"; products that are purely DSP—like POG, digital reverbs, etc.—cannot, because there's not really any notable componentry to measure.
 
Any plans for a new pedal wireless unit? It would be great if there was a new pedal wireless unit with digital out. With your plans for the nexus port, it seems like this would be something you’d be working on.

Unfortunately, we can't talk about future plans beyond what was projected at the June 11th event. But yes, a Nexus-equipped wireless receiver could be cool.
 
With the emphasis many of us place on avoiding noticeable latency when using lots of digital gear in our signal chains, I'm surprised that so many still insist on using wireless units. I mean, I'd guess very few people regularly gig at venues large enough for a traditional cable connected to the guitar to be a real issue. I just don't get the trade-off — for me, avoiding the added latency would be more important.

But that’s exactly why I was asking if they had a plans to make a wireless unit that works with their nexus port/spdif.

If you had a digital wireless receiver with digital audio out, you wouldn’t incur any additional latency. The wireless receiver would be the first and only AD conversion in your chain.

This seems like a no brainer for a new product since, like you said, so many of us are using digital gear and want to avoid compounding latency.
