Although we all have our hopes and dreams about the next waza craft release, and Boss being a bit unpredictable, I can see a pattern in the waza craft line.
Aspects like: vintage appeal (AKA hype), analog circuit, useful nowadays and simple to use, seems to be a possible guide to predict future releases.
I don't believe in a digital waza craft, because they would have to update hardware and software, thus make more sense to release it as a new "regular" model.
Another thing to consider is the natural desire to have a complete basic line, with at least one of the most used effects and tools, like: one delay, one chorus, one tuner, one vibrato/tremolo, one fuzz, etc.
Therefore, a phaser and a flanger are missing.
Looking here to my collection, I can see very few possibilities for future releases, besides a flanger and a phaser, an equalizer (GE-7W black painted), a noise suppressor (NS-2W also black), the most expected DS-1W and, yes Pepe, the amazing OD-2W with it's transistors architecture that sounds so amp like.
I think there is no place for "odd balls" like: SG-1W, PQ-4W, TW-1W, XT-2W, PSM-5W (that would be really funny), etc.
But Boss is a "surprise box" and all that I said could be just plain wrong.
