Brand collaboration gear

Recently, I've noticed an increasing trend of gear being created in collaboration by multiple brands. Here are a few such examples from the pedal world:

Would being able to tag multiple brands be a feature people find useful?

Like the bigmuff2, unreleased EHX design built by JHS and now in preorder in different versions by both companies? This kind of co-OP is baffling to my child if the 80s brain. Companies dont work together, they're supposed to eat eachother!

How does Reverb work it?

It looks like the make is listed as Electro-Harmonix / JHS

Yes, I like this idea. Having products tied to multiple brands makes sense.

We also have the ability to list gear in multiple categories on the roadmap. For example, my Strymon Flint should appear in both the reverb and tremolo categories, rather than being treated only as a multi-FX unit, as it is now.

Another factor is old gear that was sold under multiple brand names but built by the same OEM, but this seems less common today.

This makes a lot of sense on both fronts. Colabs are more frequent... my chorus echo is a chorus, tape echo and spring reverb and I use the fx separately when it's right. It's not exactly a multi fx though, just 3 really specific sounds.

Any updates?

Not yet. It’s on my to-do list, but over the past couple of weeks we’ve been focused on backend improvements, specifically improving product links and tying artist submissions to albums.

We’ll be at NAMM for the rest of the week, but I’ll make sure we discuss it and come up with a plan shortly after.
