Well, too bad it is not in the compact line, and no Stereo IN, you can only use stereo pedals inside the loop, but maybe it isn't a big problem after all.
Yeah, funnily enough I was looking at that earlier and ended up deciding that I could just put my stereo pedals (modulation/delay/reverb) in the effects loop. Would have been more flexible to have had the option of a stereo in though, especially given its price...

Oh, I forgot to mention, a waza reverb.
Maybe they could bring back the FRV-1, albeit probably without Fender branding?

Maybe a digital "all in one" reverb pedal that incorporates also the FRV-1 code in it.

About the 200 and 500 lines, would them be a threat to the compact line existence someday in the future?

Or at least be preferred to be the recipients of new and advanced models?

I don't think the 200 and 500 series are likely to be a threat to the compact line. I think they're aiming for different things. They're all digital, with loads of different modes/parameters/connectivity options (midi etc) and are significantly more expensive than the vast majority of the compact pedals.

I do think it probably means there's unlikely to be a waza version of a DD or RV compact though as they have already covered off the "premium" digital delay/reverb market with the DD-200/500 and RV-500.

What do I know though? Maybe the next waza will be a DD-2w...

Watching the promo video of the IR-200 a thought gave me hope, maybe a simpler version with stereo IN and no loop, will be released in the compact/waza line, IR-1W, I would love it.

Yeah, that's possible. Like they followed up the bigger SY pedals with the SY-1.

Right! The hope still lives on.

I think the GE-7W or PQ-4W makes a lot of sense. Quality EQs are a very practical pedal, and the modified GE7 is highly regarded.

A black GE-7 with grey lettering, a switch for bass guitar frequencies and a noiseless operation would be very nice.👍

I would really like to see a Waza Craft version of the FT-2. Maybe something that covers the lowpass filter of the FT-2 and the bandpass (wah) filter of the Tw-1 and AW-2. A little bit like the KORG KDW-301 that I love for its versatility:
