 A  !

Lets think here..  A pedal is basically for controlling a parameter(s) of
the synth with your foot.  Why do we need gate or trig at all?  Perhaps for
using a pedal as a separate controller, but 99% of the time, a pedal will be
used for simply turninig knobs with your feet. 99%!!!!  Having it be a dual
would be great too..    
Wouldn't you guys rather have access to two foot pedals with one module?  
Think about playing a keyboard (gasp!) and using your feet to sweep some
parameters, like pedals are supposed to do........    Design A!!!!
Perhaps you could have a compromise.  Have one pedal as an expression pedal,
and the other as a sustain/switch/trig/gate kind of interface..  
  Dual is great for more control.    Trigs, LED's, CV mixes..  blah blah..  
KISP!  (keep it simple Paul)
Not that I want boring plain modules, but I think the basic dual pedal
functionality outweighs having a gate or CV mix out....

my opinion ...
