Would it be possible to make a mega EHX 9 series pedal?

I'm wondering if it would be possible to create a pedal that combines a bunch of (or at least more than one of) the 9 series pedals in one chassis and be able to do a preset recall function so you could call up a preset memory from any of the pedal modes?

For example: you have 10 user memory slots and any mode from any of the various pedals could be saved to any of those 10 slots and you can choose your favourite modes for those memory slots?

I have a Digitech XP1000/all modded pedal and I'm wondering if you could have something similar where you have all or some of the different series of a pedal line in one chassis? Even if it's a larger sized chassis. Just an idea.

Buy Electro-Harmonix (EHX) Attack Decay. I must say right away that what the pedal does (reverse the signal) it does very well. Especially worth canceling is the poly-mode and built-in fuzz that the EHX love to add to their pedals. These are super cool features.

Ummmmm.... Thanks for the input but what you've said doesn't at all refer to anything I was talking about.

While the attack decay is a cool pedal, it is analog (BBD-powered), it can be DIY-built so why buy it (Madbean has PCBs), and has nothing to do with the post.

As for your question, it's been a couple years since I played with a 9-Series pedal (I owned a B9 for about 2 weeks), they use a mechanical rotary switch for patch selection, right? I'd imagine it's a simple address selector where each position responds to an address. I'd imagine it would be fairly trivial to remove the rotary switch and connect the wires to a microcontroller to generate the high/low signals corresponding to each address.

I guess another step is if you're having multiple units in one enclosure and recalling a setting from one you'll need to bypass the ones that don't correspond to your preset. Still not terribly complicated, but you're essentially talking about making a programmable looper and digital address generator. Handful of relays and a microcontroller with a decent number of I/O and you would be set.

What I don't get is how the last edit in his post is from you.

It's a secret.  Don't tell anyone!
