Thoughts on a Stomp successor:
- same I/O as old Stomp
- one DSP core
- a 5” touch screen plus rotary encoders below
- keep a low footswitch count (2-4)
- small form factor
- power over USB-C (plus 9 volt)
- Focus mode carries over from big boy flagships but not the other cool functions
- Nexus jack and two sizes of extra footswitch accessories available (could have wireless option as well) that works just like the regular footswitches. Make them stick to the base unit somehow and there’s no need for an Stadium Stomp XL SKU
In general I’d like to see a unit that could work on a pedalboard, as a standalone practice unit and as a glorified audio interface tied to your computer with an extra foot controller on the floor. Take the brains from your desk and stick it on your pedalboard when needed. Flexible and full featured so you can rely on it for a lot of use cases and don’t have to buy additional cheap knockoff modelers for portability etc.
If you always want it on the pedalboard then there can be an app that mirrors the touchscreen on the unit for those that are okay with smartphone/ipad use for dialing in tones and don’t want to bend down constantly.
I really like the Focus mode and would like a lot to people to get their hands on it.
Just some of my thoughts!

Oh man that would be killer. My only real gripe with the OG Stomp is the power supply.

This is a fantastic rendering. However when I think about the real world application of this box, it would probably be more for the studio. This would more likely take the place of a Helix Rack.
A stomp version that would live on a pedal board would have to have a smaller screen with different graphics to suit it. I feel like the largest the screen could go would be something like my iPhone with GarageBand on a chassis slightly smaller than a Stomp XL.
However, if the thing has Bluetooth, then it could just be similar in size to the stomp we know and love and all the big GUI functionality is done on another device.
