Admittedly, not a pedal and therefore not easily used live without a switching mechanism, but check out how the Boss BR-8 is useful to me for another few years..

That's amazing. Really cool. Good thinking.

B-Pass you might already know is band pass. It lets through a small range of frequencies. So if you set it for example at 1khz it might let through 0.7kz to 1.3kz or something like that.
That is quite Geiger Counter like at times. To be honest there are still dozens of sounds I haven't checked because there are a couple of hundred waveforms, and with each the functions react a little differently. The knob that you turn to select the wavetable, you can also press it in and it changes the way the bit depth and sample rate knobs work. It also has an expression pedal input (CV input so you can also use other things but their site says you can also use an expression pedal). It can make lots of really fantastic noises, but at times it's not very consistent in that some sounds would be hard to dial back in (partly due to the amount of possibly selections and partly due to a tendency a bit like the Shiva where a small turn of a knob can cause a relatively large reaction). I guess I consider it more of a toy than something more straight forward and practical like a dirt box but then I consider playing guitar in general like that. Saying all that, I love it still.
