I winder if companies have ever decided to make a smaller delay pedal, but then have a separate, simple, footswitchable controller. So you have your main delay, maybe about the size of a TC Nova/Repeater with the main controls. Then you have a separate controller that you can put anywhere, on your board, off, whatever your needs are. You could have 4-5 memory banks, tap tempo, switchable modulation, etc. It could even be a narrow controller, like 24" wide (same size as a PT2 for example) but then have it just be 1" deep, so it doesn't take up much room, or could be placed right in front of a PT2 or something similar. You could even have different size controllers as optional choices.
As it stands, the DelayLab and x4 take up 25% of your board space on a PT2. They are 12" wide, about 4-5" deep, plus the cables mount on the back, so add another inch. This isn't all that convenient to be honest, for a lot of people. To me, this is where the future of digital delays should go. Main controller, with plenty of options (the DelayLab is awesome otherwise), and a separate controller for maximum flexibility. My 2 cents this morning.

Or if you plugged an non-latching footswitch into the tap temp, then both buttons on the pedal become preset banks, plus the two you could gain from the Bank jacks.

But all in all, I don't need that extra stuff. It's just nice to have it there if need be. The X4 rules though. Sounds great. Feels like its built well, has all the tones I need.
