A S.O.F.T effect pedal. Would you guys be interested?

This is a good idea in my books... but look at the rigs of the guys here... many don't use the fuzz face. So if you are looking for an effect that is more popular, the fuzz face might not be it.
Alternatively. You can please both crowds by maybe doing a dual circuit - fuzz face and trotsky. Let the user the options of swapping all transistors and the ability to control the manner of stacking. With the trotsky pushing the Fuzz Face, if its silicon, you get a mean, dirty overdrive, if its germ, you get saturated sustain for days. So you got classic fuzz face, clean-ish dirty, and all the distortion/fuzz you need when stacking + tweakability.
Look up the NOC3 Fuzz for what amounts to a fuzz face that has all the tweakability without sacrificing on the tone.

I dig this idea, though I'm not too keen on the dual footswitches. Maybe the trotsky circuit could act like a 'pregain' stage for the ff, with the amount of gain controllable via pot? The downside of this is that the gain cannot be bypassed totally though.
Probably gonna use SI trannys. The gain does not vary as much as GE ones, iirc

You can use toggle switches... or those knobs that click off @ 0. That can turn off the trotsky circuit.
Yah, trotsky running into a FF could be cool. Sounds like... certain boutique builds.
I can't really recall if running it the other way was cool too but thats for you to try out.

A wah pedal would be great! Hey guys, how about SOFT package? Where the guitar/bass(strats preferably with SOFT inlay), amp, strap, tuner, cable and pedal all hav SOFT logos...haha

HuhHh?
True bypass aint a pedal type, just a feature of pedals..
A pedal can be true bypass or buffered bypass..

heh, the pedal which darf has in mind, has been done in japan. Its called "spice", from honda sound works effect. Within it has no electronic components except inout/output jack and a piece of NOS cloth wire from old era.. and best, they dont even bother to goop anything, even thou theres nothing to hide in first place. It is said to improved the fricking tone having it in the chain...
hehe, anyway, for the soft pedal, i suggest each and every of it are serialised with #001. So that every piece is equal and it can either
1) give the illusion for guitarer who has it that their piece a special one
or
2) fool the guitarer thinking they are really special, even thou each and every one also got #001
