+1 on anything not COSM |

A compact version of the RE-20...maybe the RE-2?...would be great, but I don't know if they could cram it all into a compact. Lose the tap tempo function and chop it in half!
Oh well, I can dream... |

A compact RE-20 would be nice. I have/use one and I never use the tap tempo footswitch. So cutting it in half would be lovley 
I still don't see why they don't reissue all their classic sort after pedals. The SP-1, SG-1, VB-2, DM-2, DC-2, OD-1,PH-1, CE-2 and CE-1 (just for me  )...ect.
Every other company that had anything decent back in the day has reissued it, but not boss. Hmmm |

...I remember reading somewhere that Boss refuses to "reissue" pedals..."we look to the future instead of staying in the past"...they figure if they made it 20-30 yrs ago, they can do it better now. right?...so far not so good...DS-1 anybody?????? |

Roland's duty is to the stock holders. It would be silly to unilaterally refuse anything so potentially profitable. If I ever owned stock in a company that made a statement like that, I would be writing an angry letter to the board of directors.
I hope that they realize that the trend is to revisit tried and true designs. It is one thing to say they want to move forward. The trick is to move forward while honoring and paying homage to your past.
I do not think that modeling is the future of all effects. I do think that is going to be a permanent fixture in the guitar scene moving forward, but I believe it will co-exist with older technology.

I think that's what makes BOSS so special IMO. Imagine you have a beautiful collection of old records and suddenly the label decides to re-issue them exactly as they were, with no differences from the ones you have (if it was possible). You'd feel a little betrayed wouldn't you? I guess it's the same with pedals.
edit: what's NAMM?? |

I wouldn't expect them to be completely unchanged. I would expect at the very least a different cosmetic treatment. Possibly even a different name like OD-1r as in re-issue or SG-1se as in "Special Edition".

+1 to what aaron said.
I've seen tonnes of reissued albums on vinyl. But the originals still hold their value..
Its just sad for people that can't afford the pricey originals |

Re-issues are good because they allow everyone to experience the vinyl/pedal... I hate it when you just can't get something because they don't make it anymore. A special edition re-issue would allow the original version to retain it's value while still allowing everyone to enjoy the music/effect.

most of those sought after pedals are only sought after due to their exclusivity... i'm looking mainly in the direction of the SP-1, SG-1 and to a lesser extent the VB-2 here.
they sold poorly and not that many of each were made, hence their value on the used market is grossly inflated due largely to their rarity. Boss/Roland are surely aware of the prices said pedals sell for on ebay (etc), but also realise that if they re-issued them and made them readily available, they may have the same trouble selling them as before.

That is the advantage to a limited run. only make 1000 and let the market sort itself out. |
